Arizona Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 I've watched adverts for several of these and wondered just how sad your life has to be to play some of them. I've just seen one, can't remember the name, which featured various games including basketball, darts and throwing bean bags. There's also that one featuring Bagpuss Jnr. as the "casual athlete" Is actually buying a dartboard, basketball or beanbag really that bad that you have to play by staring at a TV screne and waving two white sticks at it instead? Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 Wii's are amazing. FACT. Has anyone seen the new Rayman Rabbit game advert. The first computer game released to be controlled by your bum :shock: (Using the wii fitness board) Looks quite funneh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponty Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 I haven't seen a advert for any Wii game that doesn't involve something that's relatively straightforward to do in the real world. I'm sure there are games out there which don't fit that mould but the the ads always push the ones that do. Seems a touch pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip87 Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 I guess it saves you the hassle of going out and purchasing a dart board, a basketball and a beanbag. I wouldn't want to have to carry home a beanbag. I would dislike waiting in for one to be delivered even more! Not a game I have. I enjoy wii fit a lot. Mario kart too (sadly I will have to purchase a new copy of this now though). I found the sonic game awful, which surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_saints Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 I had a Wii and played it once in 6 months. I'd much rather play on a console that doesn't make me look like a complete arse throwing my arms about all over the place etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii fit has skiing - MUCH cheaper and easier, mario kart, all the games such as super mario, my personal favourite of super monkey ball... I don't think it would be simple to find a monkey, put it in a giant hamster ball and make it roll round a maze picking up floating banannas.

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 Mario Kart and Wii Golf are my personal favourites. Managed a hole in one without the ball trickling in the other day. First time ever. I wanna get the Wii fit and the Rayman Rabbit thingy ma bob. Cant decide whether the Wii Music game looks genuis or gash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way to play the wii is sat in a chair. Wii golf sat down and mario kart sat down. Easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could go indoor skiing in MK or Pontefract for less than the price of the game, same with go karting. As for Monkey Ball, it sounds a bit w*nk and I haven't seen any ads for it.

I see your point with monkey ball, although I like it. I was just making the point that there are games of things you can so easily do in real life.

I was just making the point that there are games of things you can so easily do in real life. Serious point... I have only driven in anger on the Brands Hatch circuit once in my life. I spent a day racing single seaters, not much bigger than go karts, and I happened to do very well, winning a couple of awards on the day. Like I said, I did it once, several years ago now, but I remember everything about the day, even the stench of the toilets as I spent a good half hour 'bricking it' before the day got going. It cost me a fraction less than a Wii console to compete for the day but, you're right, I only got to do it the one time for that money whereas I could play Mario Kart every day for a few quid more. The thing is, I'm pretty sure you can't remember every minute of a game of Mario Kart in ten years time. There is no substitute for the real thing, and the sad part is people are paying a lot of money to do things 'virtually' that they could easily have a go at in real life. Oh, and don't even get me started on Guitar Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip87 Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 I see your point but personally I wouldn't be at all bothered about driving round Brands Hatch. My partner races so I can always have a go in his on a track day if I was really bothered. I enjoy the social side of the wii, it's a nice thing to play on with mates, have a cheap night it. I also enjoy the fact that it's always there and doesn't have to be arranged blah blah hassle etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFartPants Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 Maybe Nintendo could bring out a Wii game of a bad computer game, but do it really well on Wii. That way we could play a really bad game really well and the world would be a much better place. I hate the concept of Wii. It's fundamental purpose seems to be for useless people at sport to be able to brag that they can now do a sport really well. It is utter rubbish and is yet another demotivation toy for kids today in stopping them going out climbing trees and burning peoples allotment sheds down like we did.

Michelle Posted 4 December, 2008 Share Posted 4 December, 2008 Mario Kart is still, IMO, the best game on the Wii. No other game that I've bought has yet provided as much entertainment as Mario Kart.

Funny you should say that, as although I am considered to be a Matt Le Tissier esk footballer (just waiting to be signed) I am totally she-hite at Golf, which was compounded by my 58 over par after 9 holes when i recently played.
