Wow, some of you are ****ing hysterical.......

Anyways, don't buy the 360 or the PS3. Unless you really like sports and shooters, then you have almost nothing to buy on either system. What does the 360 have that isn't a shooter or sports game? They have like one game, Mass Effect.

The PS3 is the same thing but more expensive, and the shooters and sports games aren't as good. Granted, you do have God of War and Metal Gear. Can you honestly name something else off the top of your head?

The DS, you will has Pokemon, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, and then whatever game rocks your boat pretty much.

I say, the Wii (even though most of us here have one already) is the best investment out of the Playstation, Xbox, and the Wii. You have Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, All the Mario Party/Sports games, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4/Umbrella Chronicles, Etc. I could name more but I think someone is gonna ***** at me for saying the Wii is best.

BTW Grand Theft Auto and Godfather don't count because you can get that on either the PS3 or Xbox. I was talking console specific.

Champ, you just convinced me. Why the heck was I considering a 360?? I hate sports/most shooters (but Halo). DSi ftw.

Yeah obviously the wii is the better investment. Anyone see that e3 coverage of the xbox motion control peripherals?

In short Nintendo has better quality games.....
^Wrong

They only have better quality games in the minds of Nintendo fans. 360/PS3 fans think Nintendo games suck.

Smoomfest update:

ABK called me saying how he wanted more people for PnT that Saturday so he wanted it the next week. Tell me how everyone feels about that.

Yea, but I doubt it will be exactly like that.

I mean the Wii was supposed to be like total movement, yet, we have to buy the Wii Motion Plus to have total movement. Lol, I love Nintendo!!!!

@Smoom
Care to prove me wrong?

And I can't wait for the new 4 player mario bros game. Looks so sweet.
Yeah, I saw it at E3 (it was at E3, right?). But I was downtrodden when it wasn't online. >_> That completely KILLS it for me. I pretty much need wifi to play a game.

@Champ, look at my last sentence. That's one reason I actually wanted 360+Halo 3. Ossim wifi. It works PERFECT!!!

Ok, but I wasn't talking about the online capabilities now was I? Lol.

The DS has ossim wi-fi IMO. But do whatever you please. Your money, not mine.

Yeah it was at E3. And I know what u mean luckily I have some friends that will want to play it. Did you see the new metroid :the other m? Not quite sure if it will be a good game. Team ninja I know is heading the project but to me it doesnt look anywhere as good as the ones retro has made

i heard that the ps2 has sold so many copies that if you stack them on top of each other it would reach out to like....Mars or somethin

or was it Inui's ego?

I never really got into Metroid, but I heard it's tons of fun to speedrun, haha. I don't think I'm gonna get it cause I've never really grown up with it.

For Mario Galaxy, I really disliked that game. I bought it, played it for like an hour then sold it the next week. I'm never playing that again. >_> I felt disorientated when on the planets.

Man, soon as my money comes in I'm gonna buy Super Metroid, I haven't gotten a chance to play the Prime games either.

I'll probably cop Other M when it come's out

@smoom and kingdom: if you haven't played through the prime games you really should one of the best platformer/shooters/exploration games I've ever played. A lot to explore. If you both have a wii then there is a prime trilogy releasing this year in the fall (unless the release date got pushed back) I know I'm going to get it since all the controls will be revamped on the first 2 games so you can use the wiimote


Edit: talking to me popertop?

Not sure. I think they both tie in together somehow


EDIT: and I hope that she doesn't have a commanding officer. That would be really dumb. She was a bounty hunter in all the other games so if she was somehow all of a sudden military then I'd be disappointed. Like I said I already am not impressed with how it looks. But ill still give it a fair shot.

I don't have a ds anymore so I didn't know another zelda was imminent. I need to get one again especially now since the DSi came out

I hate the Wii....you can't operate it without a Wii mote...wtf?
Yeah I never thought that was cool they should have made the operations of the wii gc controller compatable better yet they should have made it like the ds and given you the option to boot up the games automatically so you don't always start on the wii chanel screen

it's called BootMii. You can either go to the Wii Menu, or go to the Homebrew channel. I think there's a way so you can go straight to the disk channel too.

Never heard of it. But I'd like it so when I'm playing smash I don't have to take out my wiimote to get it started. I really need to get my wii online


Edit: I wish I could get past the security settings for the wifi. In my apartments I pick up 3 different signals constantly. Wish there was a way to hack the signal or something so I could connect that way

I'll probably cop that.

BTW is other M about Samus or her officer because I'm looking at the wikipedia page and it says something about her commanding officer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid:_Other_M
Not sure. I think they both tie in together somehow


EDIT: and I hope that she doesn't have a commanding officer. That would be really dumb. She was a bounty hunter in all the other games so if she was somehow all of a sudden military then I'd be disappointed. Like I said I already am not impressed with how it looks. But ill still give it a fair shot.
OTHER M is a game that will EXPLAIN a little more about samus's past and her previous CO named Adam ( http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/metroid/images/6/6e/Adammalkovich.jpg ). If you played the horrible game(story wise) METROID FUSION and read the metroid manga, it will help you understand a bit more. So pretty much, OTHER M ties METROID FUSION in with SUPER METROID.

GO here to read some more: http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=86168

Other M was hinted at in the original METROID yet no one thought about it untill now.





If you are wanting to jump into the metroid series, i recommend starting with the PRIME series. The METROID PRIME trilogy was released or will be released soon. Prime 1 and 2' controls are now like metroid primes 3's controls. WHICH IS SIMPLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!


I hate the Wii....you can't operate it without a Wii mote...wtf?
i cant operate a 360 or ps3 without its controler. I also cant control my SNES without it controler.

GoW games aren't shooters


Edit: the prime games are 3d platformers and exploration games at their best not to mention solid shooters. But its not the same as other shooters at all. And yes the music is great

Ridley is dumb. If he wasn't so big, he could have been playable in Brawl.

What Metroid is that lol
The pic i showed? Its the ORIGINAL metroid game. it was named METROID! Its the FIRST time a HERO character was actually a FEMALE. Samus is considered "the lady of gaming"

i highly recommend you do not START with the original metroid(its difficulty and boring *** stages turn people off). Start with SUPER METROID or the PRIME SERIES.

LOL XYRO!!!!! I was talking about the 360 is nothing but shooters......
yea but i was pointing out that PRIME SERIES is a good game for people who arnt hardcore shooter fans but wanna taste some shooter every once in a while.
