Im pretty they will make another Metroid on the Wii, even if its not listed as "Prime". They could make Metroid 5. It was supposed to be 2-d and to be a sequel to Metroid 4 A.K.A Fusion. But it could be sweet to make it a 3-d game intead.

Also, Nintendo decided to work hard on this game, becuase of Halo 3. As for voice acting, i don't mind as long as Samus remain. I also beleive they dint added a multiplayer to avoid commentary like: "Nintendo is afraid of microsoft, so they ripped-off Halo." Multiplayer isnt Nintendo stuff, anyway...they are better at making awesome Single-player game. BUT, they do have an interest in the potential of Multiplayer. Thats why they work hard on Smash.

I know the Wii is for casual game, which i am not. BUT, i dont like the Xbox. I jsut dont like it. Thats why i will never buy it. Of course, i love Sony. But the PS3 is simply too costly.

All the serie i love are from Sony and Nintendo. Final fantasy, Castlevania, Metroid, Zelda. Those are the console serie i really enjoy. Beside, what the **** is a damn freakin blue-ray shit-thing anyway?

I would hope to see a sequel to fusion done for the wii. However, the hard part would be in making a game that's different enough from the Prime series as to not be immediately considered a re-hash (although I don't doubt it would be quite fun).

I still have my hopes for a sequel to Fusion storyline. My idea for it would be that the metroid vaccine in Samus starts to mutate her into a metroid and instead of armor upgrades she follows the Metroid evolutionary path seeking a cure. Imagine leeching off a space pirate and then funneling that energy back into your blaster. Aw sweet imagination...

anyway the single player mode of Metroid is awesome, but I'd love to have a multi-player. The Wii seems to have so much potential with on-line multi-player, but Nintendo just doesn't seize it very well when they release big games like this without it, and there lack of a headset, etc. But its nice that if you have a wireless router, its ready to go right when you fire it up, and you don't have to pay $100 to get an adapter like you do for the 360. Good to go out of the box. Also no $50 year BS, Get on-line for free, just like you would on a PC.

Nintendo's doing better, but they still are stuck in the 80's in some aspects.

Only die hard Nintendo fanboys boy the Wii, and so do non-gamers like the aforementioned parents, and old people.

The real gamers console (360) appeals to real gamers who want to play real games on and offline. Once the novelty of the Wii has worn off, and people realize that stupid controller is just a pointless gimmick the system will die as nothing it has in its games library can even hold a candle to other titles coming and already out on other systems.

Gamers might have a Wii, but i will give you 50 quid if you can find me a true, hardcore gamer who uses their Wii as their primary console, as the VAST majority only use it as a secondary console at best.

The 360 is still the most played and has the best games thanks to its flawless online play. Not to mention its HD capabilities and movie playback and what not, stuff the Wii doesnt have.

Oh and lets not forget Halo 3.

Now, if you HADN'T made this post, I wouldn't have to start he Fanboy argument up again.

EDIT: And, to include actual numbers (Rather than assumptions), 360 is only above the Wii by LESS than 1 million units. Meaning Wii has sold faster in one year than 360 has sold in two.

Also, the PS3 and Wii are both outselling the 360 in Japan.

Duh im trying to sound like a fanboy. That and i know im right (me and millions upon millions of other 360 and XBL users)

Okay, people, don't bother with him, he's entered his fantasy world where the 360 puts out more than stale FPSs and sports games.

Agreed the 360 doesn’t have any games. PERIOD rushing shooting games with no plot like halo and gears are just... Yeah. Anyways 360 is only pig to the American audience who will play every thing and the pig heads who think that only good games have blood. Also seriously if you wana play sports on the 360 here is a new idea get off your ass and go play the real thing. I’m sick of Microsoft bullshit. 360 is so good!!!!!!!!! Most of them have the red ring in the first week if you get lucky you’ll actually get one that works. The wii and ps3 barley had in fatal glitches to the console. Microsoft doesn’t care about the people they care about ass production even if it doesn’t work. Oh yeah cant even get your money back from Microsoft. My uncle went through 6 red rings as soon as he got them he gave up and asked for his money back and they said sorry not our policy. SO they still get the $ and the rip you off. I hate the halo freaks that think multiplayer and DUEL WIELDING ARE SOOOOO COOL. Its practically worthless. Screw multiplayer if you want that co buy a damn pc game. That’s what the 360 is a crappy computer. I LOVE MY ALIENWARE. X-box = batsu bako aka bad box and know the batsu bako 360 which has a 360 degrees of shityness.

360 = owned

So, what I'm to understand from this hate filled post, is.

Anyone who likes the 360 is a pig headed American, who only want blood in their games.

The 360 has no games, at all.

Microsoft is the devil.

Your uncle had a crapload of bad luck with the 360.

And if you enjoy multiplayer, you shouldn't do it on a console, but a PC.

Gamers might have a Wii, but i will give you 50 quid if you can find me a true, hardcore gamer who uses their Wii as their primary console, as the VAST majority only use it as a secondary console at best.

Oh and lets not forget Halo 3.

No, LET'S forget Halo 3. In fact, let's forget the 360 in general. Let's forget the console that crashes every time you try to play "the best games".
And you owe me 50 quid bud. I can't believe you can look at Wii sales and reviews and think that no one would buy it as a primary console. And how could you suggest that it isn't a gamer's console? You think it is just for little kids and old men? Play Twilight Princess and then let's see what you think. Sure, The Wii has plenty of games for non-gamers and young children, but there are plenty of games for "real gamers" too and not Just Nintendo fanboys. You act like you think it's a bad thing that the Wii can be played by everyone in contrast to your precious 360 which can only be played by people with the patience to deal with frequent crashes red lights of doom.
Don't even think about calling me a Nintendo fanboy because I defend Nintendo and its Wii. I'm a SEGA fan and I like the Wii, as a PRIMARY console. And yes, I am a "true gamer."

Haha, your arguements against the 360 are so lame and wrong. They made me laugh because they sounded so stupid.

Oh and i have never met a person who uses the Wii as a primary console so that 50 stays in my pocket. The fact is it is just for young children, have you even looked at its libray of games? What about twilight princess? Thats just that crappy zelda game isnt it? A sequel to a series of games that has been stale for years. Whats adult or good about it?

Like i say, Wii only outsells everything else because it is cheap, kid-friendly crap that parents can buy, and kids can enjoy the gimmicks. When it comes to REAL games, it has nothing.

Cut the crap Sonray, he stated his opinion like yours, no need act like that.

And in your argument, define "gamer"? I play video games, and I refer the Wii because I prefer the old games and more puzzle/thinking games than FPS, so the Wii was what I like. Me and my frineds all bought Wiis and we play these old games for hours sometimes.

I own a Wii.



I play it 20 hours a week.





Your arguments are awful. Out of the 3 consoles, Wii is doing the best. It has remained out of stock everywhere since it's release. While both PS3 and 360 suffer massive price cuts just so retailers can unload them.




And this is a blanket statement- The majority of people that play 360 are wankers. Playing online, all they ever do is call everyone else a noob etc etc etc.

I have a Wii, it has next to nill games worth playing that are not ports of some description, I feel it was a waste of 400Aussieland Dollarydoos, aswell as the 70 for a second set of controls. The PS3 was the way to go for me, unfortunately, as the price is excusable with memory of the PS2's opening price. I know what I am getting for myself now, the console worth my time.*


*360 is not worth it, I dislike FPS, I can live without DOA and I have a computer
