Ahem, what ZV is trying to point out is that you should get both a Wii and a dictionary.  And perhaps a book on grammar.  No offense, but it gets hard to understand people when they consistantly use bad grammar and spelling.

Anywho, I think the general consensus would be to get a Wii.

Yeah, that was kind of a mean hint, sorry. 8) It's just that it's kind of ridiculous when you cant spell Should. it depends on how old you are, yes, but I actually won a spelling bee when I was but a wee wipersnapper.

You still are a wee wipersnapper, lol, kidding. Well actually you kind of are to me, cause I'll be 17 in just a few months. :D

wipersnapper? you meanie, how will we get the rain off your windshields if you keep breaking our wipers?

anyways, yes, you should get a Wii. 24 hour internet, not to mention that you actually get a workout playing. A guy did an experiment, he lived like always except he got in an hours play on the Wii each day and lost nine pounds in a few weeks. I'm not saying you're overweight of course, just saying it's healthier than playing another system, which the others are more expensive by the way. The hardware is great, and you can play pretty much any Nintendo game ever made. Basically, you get a lot more than the other systems for a lot lower price.

Um, that made no sense whatsoever.

Just say back the sentence with no rhythm and like a robot, it will make sense then.
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: DW on January 22, 2007, 05:36:54 PM
Okay, Should is not supposed to be spelled shod. I don't care how you say it, it's common English.
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: Hi no Seijin on January 22, 2007, 05:36:57 PM
Trust me, it has nothing to do with how fast I read it.  It has something to do with you saying "should" is supposed to be spelled "shod" when "shod" has to do with wearing footwear whereas "should" is, and I loosely quote from the dictionary, used in auxiliary function to express condition, to express obligations, express the future from a point of view in the past, to express what is probable or expected, or to express a request in a polite manner or to soften a direct statement.  As in you should learn how to use proper grammar and spelling so everyone can understand you better.

Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: DW on January 22, 2007, 05:53:16 PM
Of course, I'm not saying the other systems are bad, just saying the Wii is well worth it.
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: oh-how-unreal on January 22, 2007, 05:54:38 PM

Irrelevant to the matter.  I'm have fun playing games on the GBA SP, however, I also have fun playing games on the DS.  Plus, some good games are only for the DS.  Like the DS version of Tetris.  Does the XBox 360 have Tetris with Nintendo characters?

Note:  That question was rhetorical.  Don't answer unless you're in the mood to be a smart aleck about it.
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: bgrugby on January 22, 2007, 05:56:31 PM
Why can't you have two systems at once? When you think about it the Wii is basically 7 systems all packed into one. But if your waiting for your 360 to overheat, it might not be a long wait then  ;D

Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: DW on January 22, 2007, 09:33:01 PM
yeah, as far as I've heard the only problems with the Wii are people overexerting themselves and not following safety guidelines.

Why'd he change his name to (MIko)? And he mentioned IMP!

Oh, can this be? He has bad grammar, it cannot be, it cannot be, it cannot be...

I got a Wii for Christmas, and trust me it's well worth it to go out and buy one. It's an innovative system, and you'll have a blast playing Wii Sports if you get it.

you know you can play the gamecube games with the gamecube controllers and everything on the Wii right? So it's like a Gamecube plus tons of other stuff.
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...

Not to mention the Wii has Internet access on it... and a Virtual Console...and it comes with a game....and it's cheaper than any others, but it still rocks hard! ;D

What about the GameCube do you like better, considering the Wii plays GC games as well?
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: darkphantomime on January 24, 2007, 04:13:51 PM
I believe what she means is that the GC still has so many great games, while the wii is only  just building up steam. I don't plan on getting a wii just yet, maybe for a year or so...

What I mean is, the GC had and still has a lot of great games that really took advantage of the beauty and fluidity of the games. But the Wii is only just beginning... I'm just waiting out for a greatervariety of really good games, which might take a while. I got my N64 a year after it came out, even though my brother got it in '96.

They are, it will be out in a few weeks as part of the Wii Play game.

Wii Play game what is that? well i don't go to nintendo.com
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: bgrugby on January 24, 2007, 09:16:56 PM
Well Wii Play is like Wii Sports as it is a bunch of mini games. There are 9 mini games in all Table Tennis, Laser Hockey, Fishing, Find Mii, Pose Mii, Billiards, Charge!, Tanks, and Shooting (which included shooting balloons, targets, clay pigeons, cans, UFOs, and ducks). The game is 50 bucks but comes with a Wiimote (which retails for 40 dollars) so actually the game is about 10 bucks. A great buy really when you look at the fact that you get a game that seems pretty good for only about 10 bucks and a Wiimote which are almost as hard to find as a Wii.

I was thinking....should i invest in a Retro control? Is it worth it? I mean, what can it do that the regular remote can't?
Title: Re:shod i get a wii...
Post by: bgrugby on January 25, 2007, 05:56:41 PM
I would just get a Gamecube controller. You need it anyways for GC games, it works on all VC games, and is cheaper then the Classic Controller.
