Last-Gen Console Discussions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)

My shoulder got sore from playing Bowling a bunch in one day in Wii Sports.

Bowling is harsh on the arms- so is Pitching. The rest is fine. Vigorous up/down seems to do you in more than left/right.

I also submit the fact that playing Boxing too long is harsh on the arms.

Ah well, boxing is the runt of the litter anyway.

Boxing is the worst one, it's too sloppy.

Bowling feels like bowling, it's awesome.

Ush, I think I'll need to play bowling against you at some point...

(hehehe)

Why the giggle, was there some sexual innuendo I somehow missed in that post?

id rather just be sitting relaxed than sitting shaking my hand around.i admit that for a couple games it was good, but they were all like 5 minutes games like tennis and the racing soccer game.

Moving your hand is not any significant amount more effort than manipulating a joypad.

That'd have to really be a huge leap to find an innuendo in there.

No, there isn't one.

Well, it is you, Lana... 😛

Okay, I'm beginning to dislike Nintendo's commercials now. People seem to think playing the Wii equates to running a marathon or something.

Of all the Wii games I have, the only one you need to spend a large amount of time standing up while playing is Wii Sports, because it's y'know, like actually playing those sports. Zelda, Rayman... even Warioware can be played sitting down!

If you're really dedicated you can dumb down all the Wii Sports games to a slight flick of the wrist, not easy, but can be done.

its especially annoying for parents, considering the software keeps telling them to be careful and mind your surroundings (which they never read) while the commericals tell them to run and dive all over the frikin room like a lunatic.

guess which one they emulate?

Wow! What a difference it makes after a couple of months:

Things do change.

I'm not a huge fan of the wii mote, but it did change the world of video gaming. I mean Sony even revamped there controller to try and emulate it. And when comparing the sisass to the wii mote the wii mote kills it.

I just want to test out the wii mote on a classic type RPG to see what they are going to do for that because I can't picture how they will use the motion sensor.

There are still stupid people trying to sell PS3's for 2000 bucks online. I don't know why it pisses me off but it just does.

Believe it or not, that is largely due because you can't find a wii any where.

Yeah Ps3 have been chillin shelves in some areas, but they have been arriving by truckloads fairly frequent.

Wii's come in waves of 20-40 units every few weeks.

I'm a lazy bum, as much as I want a Wii, I'd get fed up of moving about so much after 10 minutes and have to switch off and go do something else. Probably come on here and bother you lot.

I don't know how long I can pump balloons or whack a tennis ball ¬_¬ I do enough walking and running during the day as it is without needing more exercize.

Once more, Pulse- the tennis-like games are one thing, but the majority of Wii games are absolutely no different in effort to any other video game.
