Apparently, Red Steel has turned to be a bunch of mierda. I played Excite Truck for the last hour and I loved it. I've decided on getting a Wii now and I just want to know what game to get after Twilight Princess.

Best bet is super smash brothers brawl. IMO, I'm getting a bit tiresome from the 360s titles so I'm going to stick with the playstation 3.

Brawl isn't out yet, man. It won't come out until early 2007.

I wonder if Duke Nukem Forever will be for Wii? :lol:
If it ever comes out that is, ROFL

My cousin brought his Wii to the Thanksgiving dinner, and we managed to get our Great Uncle to play Wii golf with us.

Xbox 360)
pros: better graphics, extensive online features.
cons: higher cost, cost for online services ($50 a year or $4.10 a month)
game ratings: these are based on those found at metacritic.com
gears of war "94"
rainbow six vegas "89"
splinter cell double agent "85"
game styles: action, racing, and fighting. Not much creativity.

Wii)
pros: better gameplay, online features, mii channel's custom characters, your parents will actually play it with you, rumble feature, speaker in controller.
cons: graphics not as good as xb360
game ratings: these are still based on metacritic.com
Zelda: Twilight Princess "96" (Gears of War is pwned here!)
Madden NFl 07 "83"
Trauma Center: Second Opinion "83"

All those games are the highest rated right now.
I suggest the Wii.

Everyone get Smash Bros. Brawl! I will be online! Hooray for online smashing!

I am not so sure about the 'creativity'; almost all of the games for Wii are sequels. I would say that the Wii has a more novel control system, but the games are not necessarily more creative.

As soon as developers of Wii games actually know what they are doing and don't just port things over, we'll see some more creative games. Some of the more creative DS games are probably what creative Wii games will be like but with better graphics and a little more complexity.

This is true for the other consoles as well to some extent; if PS3 and 360 developers actually start using that processing power in interesting ways, instead of just attempting greater and greater graphical realism, we will see some really interesting projects.

One could say exactly the same for a lot of the AAA pc titles out there.. Well, this discussion goes back to Dragon's Lair.

Resistance is a good example of using it's processing power. But next year awaits multiple possiblities.

I'm back up to $230 after getting FFIII for the DS and I'm decidedly getting a Wii. The problem is I have to wait at a shipment at Gamestop (or EBG) because the majority of that is in credit. I really can't wait though. They say they get a shipment almost weekly around midday so I might get one fairly soon.[/quote]
