Wii/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* When playing ''[[GoldenGoldenEye Eye Wii007 (Video2010 video Gamegame)|Golden Eye Wii]]'' online, it frequently 'freezes'-even after playing a mere 30 minutes. But can be played for hours on any other game. It seems to have overheating issues too, due to the size of the cooling fan intake & exhaust, which are smaller than the Gamecube's

** Local problem? I never had either of those mentioned.

**** Because people in America aren't interested in RPGs because Yahtzee, [[The Spoony One]], and other stuff said so and are more interested in [[Wide Open Sandbox|running around causing chaos]] or [[First-Person Shooter|killing their friends and trash-talking them]].

** Or perhaps it's because the specs are at best equal to the [[X BoxXbox]], an ''older'' generation console, however, The Wii does have some extra stuff hear and there to make it count as a 7th generation system (The PC Engine or it's name in the US The [[Turbo Grafx TurboGrafx-16]] was the same way, last gen parts but just enough stuff to make it count as next gen, and it did great in Japan, bombed in the US not because of hardware but Nintendo's hold of 3rd Partys at the time). If Nintendo put a bit more into it (like 256 mega bytes of [[GDDR 3]] ram rather then 64 Mega Bytes of [[GDDR 3]] ram, same with the 1T-Sram, 128 mega bytes rather the 24 mega bytes, [[Game Cube]]'s extra 3 mega bytes of 1T-Sram was replaced with eDram of the same amount, and again, 8 mega bytes rather then 3 mega bytes), a lot of other games would be ported to it.

** Also, it has a poor cooling fan, terrible online(compare to Xbox Live, albeit it's free, but a bit of money a ''year'' so it'll be better is not a bad thing), and, as said, a a pretty lack of decent games compared to the 360 atleast. The [[PSPlay Station 3]] is getting there, though.

*** @right above: It still doesn't explain why the hardware wasn't improved more than 40% to 60% (The 2 duck taped [[Game Cube|GameCubes]] say hi) . It hurts online, makes HD nearly impossible (the [[Game Cube]] did have a 3D mode, that when off it can in theory do 1280 x 960p and 2560 x 1920i, that means 720p and 1080i can be done, however the only game that used the 3D was a prototype of Luigi's Mansion, and was removed from the Wii in favor of more polygons (500 million polygons per sec max compare to [[Game Cube]]'s 60 million polygons per sec max) and more TEV units (24 compare to [[Game Cube]]'s 8) to better compete with the Xbox 360 and [[PSPlay Station 3]]), and many of the other reasons mentioned above. It's not about comparing it so much as it really does lack a lot of stuff. We don't get a lot of the same games because of the half-assed attempt at new hardware. A lot of these complaints are fairly justified.

*** Most Wii fans would have no idea what you're talking about, and don't care. The Wii is marketed to a different crowd, one that does not notice graphic and hardware as much as Xbox360 and [[PSPlay Station 3]] fans.

*** The 3DS is a 3DS, but they call it "Le 3DS."

*** I had no idea what any of that meant. That probably answers the question. But I suppose it's worth elaborating. Fighting games aren't nearly as big on the Wii as it is on the HD systems. This is because as a genre, it's firmly hardcore, which isn't the focus of the Wii's marketing and thus not a high priority. These arcade pads are already a niche item in a niche genre. In addition, the HD systems also have a bunch of fighting games, whereas besides ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', the only traditional fighting game I can think of for the Wii is ''Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus'', which was a port of the [[PSPlayStation 2]] version and has no online play. That seriously puts into question the profitability of arcade pads for the Wii, as the number of people who'd buy them is so low compared to the other home systems.
