What's with all the Wii hate?

Personally I've been playing my Wii more than my 360 and I left my PS3 at home. I recently got it modded too, which lets me play SNES, Genesis, N64, PS1, etc games on it, as well as being able to get a library of games for it - it admittedly doesn't have as great a selection of games by itself, but it does have quite a few good ones and many are for more casual gamers or ones who don't play often.

If nothing else, the various Mario games, some RPGs and the ability to play any Gamecube game (not like 360, with it's short list of XBox games that work - some of which don't actually work) make it worth it. There are also good ones like Goldeneye, Donkey Kong Returns, Epic Mickey, to name just ones from this month.

The graphics are good enough for me, with the 5 composite cable to make it HD. Not as good as the others, but vastly better than pong and good in a way, since it might discourage developers from spending 90% of the effort on making it pretty and 10% on making it fun.

I will say the Wii sucks for online gameplay though. The 360 is the best for that, even though it charges for it (and you may waste months of it while the 360 is red-ringing and waiting to be repaired), while the PS3 and Wii don't.

Funny you should mention that, I just got through Megaman for the very first time, man that shiznit was hard! Not like the X series that I'm so used to.


Really? I never played Megaman 1, but I have a much easier time playing through 2 and 3 compared to Mega Man X on the SNES...I never beat that one, even as a game addicted middle schooler.

Yeah dude, just try it, I haven't started mm2 yet, but I'm planning to go through all of them, and the X series, and the zero series - from start to finish.
