PSO for the Gamecube had the best controller, the one with a keyboard built-in.

I never knew there’s a PS:O for the Gamecube lmao.. I have for the PS2 that’s why and PS2 is still somewhat going strong right now with a few more titles I’m waiting for.

My only Nintendo complaint is that they baited me into buying a Wii and I have nothing that I find worth playing on it. The DS, I love it to death. I still play my N64. The Gamecube I use for Phantasy Star Online (although the servers are dead, so I’m stuck offline). But the Wii, I kinda feel cheated that I have that one system with nothing that I want to play on it except for Fantasy Zone.

@Ex-PGX Keep in mind that it was only $20, less than the usual retail price for any other games.. Not to mention it was a better puzzle that all can enjoy unlike the Wii games that were made from half-baked ideas.

Note: i said that everyone that insults nintendo can bite my shiny metal ass because I’m tired of them when they always say the same stupid arguments. In every nintendo related article, there are always nintendo haters who say the same stupid arguments. So, you guys just shut up.

My DS gets used ten times as much as my Wii which is pretty sad. There was such a hype to run out and get a Wii and then once you had it, there was nothing to do with it except play Mario games or bowl.

I honestly think every one of these companies has alienated the hardcore gamer. Why? They don’t seem to give a shit anymore. They put out incomplete, untested, mediocre titles, and it’s basically up to us to do their QA/QC for them. The games they put out that ARE good, are too short. Only a small handful of companies are doing right by gamers. Nintendo on the DS end is one of those companies. But on the Wii side, not even close.

anytime one of your biggest sellers is katamari damacy, you’re pretty much a casual system. seriously, do you really believe all 100 million PS2 owners were hardcore gamers? I’m sure out of the 120 million PS2s and the 21 Million Gamecubes, there were more hardcore gamers on the Cube percentage wise and numberwise.
now when Nintendo get to be the big console with a boat load of casual games, it gets hounded, where as the PS2 was praised.

and before you call me a PS2 hater, note that my favorite games are the Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts, and Onimusha series.
I think people should at least wait until after E3 ‘08 before judging the Wii.

Quick edit for my last post*

@Charles
“THE N64 and GC were hardcore gamer machines yet most of the hardcore were off playing the casual friendly PS1 and PS2..”
PS1 and PS2 games were casual friendly? I thought the majority were RPGs, action-adventures, and shooting. The only “casual” friendly game that was for the PS2 was DDR. Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Metal Gear Solid, DBZ, and many more games in that category are casual friendly? OK!

“Now maybe you are new to this tech thing but HD are not the only storage solution on the market. Thats what Nintendo was talking about.”

No I’m not new to this tech thing, your just extremely retarded, really. Have you read the articles about Wii owners running out of memory even on their SD cards? It’s a pain in the ass having to put certain Wiiware/VC games on the SD card to DL more games. Oh and yeah you can’t even play the games on your SD card you have to re-transfer them back on the console which even takes more time. Sometimes you have to take your head out your ass and have a fair opinion instead of being a loyalist. I understand you guys are defending Nintendo, but seriously don’t be so bias and face the current problem.

@tarextherex
I’d go on to argue with you, but you said, “Oh and, every stupid guy that insult Nintendo can bite my shiny metal ass.” and look at how you used the word “maked”. Hypocrite.

Basically the hardcore gamers that should buy the Wii are the ones that love Nintendo’s stable of franchises, i.e. Mario, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Star Fox, etc…
