Nintendo Wii Impressions (Got it , played it)

Yes, as of now the Wii is sorely lacking in games - but it's still beating the living crap out of the PS3 in terms of GOOD software.

The Playstation 3 doesn't have a single game that even comes close to touching the beauty of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The game is simply amazing - it has a great flow and the gameplay/difficulty balance is near perfect.

WarioWare Smooth Moves is one of the best Wii titles for sure. It's absolutely AWESOME.

Metal Slug: Anthology is also a really good game, which comes with pretty much every Metal Slug game made.

Also, they've been releasing plenty of downloadable "Virtual Console" games - some of which I've already tried.

Here are some notable ones that are available as we speak:
- Super Mario Bros. (NES)
- Sonic the Hedgehog (GEN)
- Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
- Gunstar Heroes (GEN)
- Super Mario 64 (N64)
- Mario Kart 64 (N64)

There are currently 46 "Virtual Console" titles available for download - plenty of games if you ask me!


I think that both the Wii and the PS3 are neat systems, but thus far, the Wii is clearly the better, "fresher" choice.

Now if you were to compare the Wii to the XBOX 360, I'd have to pick the XBOX 360 because the 360's games are nearly impossible to beat. Gears of War, Rainbow Six Vegas, Viva Pinata, and the list goes on and on!

I'm in agreeance that the Wii is a very impressive console. However the goal of this third gen "race" is to be the best in the long run. And I can say, with total confidence, that in the end the PS3 will be the best followed by the Wii.
