Yeah bro, gaming is serious business, just like Australia and the UK are serious business too.
Ya know.. I hate how these threads are all flame bait...but my simple post is I prefer the wii, simply because it offers the most games that I myself would play...

a valid statement. I myself have a wii, but i never touch it aside from playing house of the dead on it, i never realized how few good games of my interest it had. as a console and not considering how 90% of its games are health/family oriented, its a stunted little thing, it's hardware is terrible, games never receives updates, most major good games that go multy console stay way clear of it, but if for some reason you like the type of games it has, it's a good console. i'll admit i enjoyed playing no more heroes on it, and it's a good gamecube emulator since i can play melee on it.
ds on the other hand lack that many good games. on mine, i usually play metal slug tetris or mario kart, and that's about it.

I own... ehhh, somewhere in the range of 100 DS games?
While some of them are lackluster, I cannot deny that there are a cubic butt ton of good games on that system. With regards to the quantity of good games, it is easily competing with, and probably has exceeded the SNES, possibly making the DS the best system of all time in my humble opinion.
It's just generally my taste in games I suppose.

Blasphemy.

RED RING OF DEATH
that is why X-Box sucks. PC FTW.
vim sucks

I'm big on action, not so much shooter though.
Generally the genres I'm most fond of are action and adventure/rpg. But I've also been known to partake in Strategy, and more oddball type puzzleish games like Phoenix Wright and Trauma Center.
I am currently playing Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Also did Shadows of the Colossus, Soul Caliber 3, Phantom Brave, Resident Evil 4, Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Galaxy 2, and Rune Factory Frontier. Also recently enjoyed some retro games, Super Mario 64 and Chrono Cross.
Oh yeah, and World of Warcraft in my spare time.
I guess that amounts for what I played in June.

every system, console, and everything with working gears or heating components degrade over time. ps3's used to overheat, but they have improved thier hardware, rrod are still at about 45% failure rate, while pc's always depends on how well you take care of it, which is usually nothing more than opening every 3rd month and cleaning up some dust.

that doesn't pertain to the topic, but thanks for sharing (chrono trigger is better btw.)

Well duh.
Doesn't mean Chrono Cross isn't a good game to play and I wanted to go through it again.
I'm just gonna sit in the corner with my PS2 and play Disgaea and Galerions and Okami.
For the record, my first taste of Multiplayer was Red Faction on ps2. It's horribly dated, didn't offer a ton of stuff unless you figured out all the secrets, but the multiplayer was fun blowing holes in the wall of a tunnel then hiding inside.
i go to sleep and i have to read 6 more flippin pages.
the first game i played on PC that i really enjoyed was rollercoaster tycoon deluxe. the first game i played on PS1 that i really enjoyed was ape escape and this game where your car had weapons attached to it and you had to shoot down other cars forgot what it was called though.
yea last playstation console you really need is ps2, ps3 is just an overpowered 360 but underpowered pc

Two likely candidates here. Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8. Twisted Metal did everything better than V-8, but V-8 MAYBE had more creative levels. The second Twisted Metal was best of the entire series, and it's kinda sad to see the junk that is Twisted Metal Black and think it's supposed to be the same genre.
back on topic, one way i've seen consoles emulate pc for fps games is making mice controllers, which is very smart in my educated opinion since it gives the precisin needed on hardware that can provide a so-so framerate and graphical experience.
Dude, you can attach anything to a pc. Consoles are only for Games and Multimedia.
They are both good for games, but PC's are better when it comes to certain types of games, so are consoles.
I don't think i can really chose which is better any more...

the only reason i see to get a console would be for AWESOME exclusives or console only games, like ssf4, or dante's inferno.
Hey guys...what's going on in this thread?

As for the Wii, it isn't bad, but it only has like 6 good games. I traded mine in roughly a year after I bought it, but I do regret never getting around to play Twilight Princess.

its a good game, reminds me of majora's mask. that new skywayrd sword doesn't really grab my attention though, and i'm a huge zelda junky. as for 65 good games, it all depends on the person's taste, which is why i dont really want to bring game's into this discussion, but as a console, it's mediocre
Only reason I'd ever give up my computer (though I only use it for a few, older games) for any console, would be a PS3, because that's what "The Last Guardian" will be released on. Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were/are incredible games.
Niko: As a console, the wii didn't try for raw power, it went for gimmicky playability... Which sold. And still does. :) You can do a lot more on the wii than the other consoles right now.. It just doesn't have the raw horsepower needed for some of the flashier games.

Shut up, both TM and V8 are awesome :) One's just tamer. A lot.

You might consider seeing if you can try some of these more action-y NDS games:
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Megaman Z collection
Megaman ZX
Megaman ZX: Advent
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Nanostray 2
Starfox Command
Most are action-platformers, except for the last three.
I claim no responsibility for the withered, cramped claw your hand will become as a result of Metroid Prime: Hunters. It was a fun game, but painful to my left hand.
Personally, I love the DS for the metric ton of quality RPGs that are out for it, including the Etrian Odyssey series (which just announced it's third entry with a collector's edition that comes with an art book, so right here would be a good place to insert the sound of a guy doing a fangirl-ish "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!"), as well as ports of several Dragon Quest games, several Final Fantasy games, Chrono Trigger, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, a couple of Y's series games, and a couple of other high-quality originals like The World Ends With You.
I, too, probably own in excess of 100 NDS games. And the library continues to grow.
But then, I probably have just about as many Xbox 360 games. And PC games, now that I think of it. And my PS3 library is no slouch, but hamstrung by cross-platform titles that I prefer to get on Xbox 360.
I buy a lot of games.
i have either bought or played teh games you have mentioned, they're either fun once through or just boring. starfox was a terrible name to the seriese, and i thought it couldnt get worse after the gamecube releases. castlevanias were fun once through, nanostray is fun every now and then, metroid is just too repetitive. rpg's just blend too much into each other for me to enjoy them. spikey hair dude must save world from x and must embark on a journey from y village with z friends. besides, there's no point in buying them since theyre single player, so why not just emulate them on pc.
spekaing of chrono trigger, they're may be a reboot.
