Escapist News Network: I C U Wii

[Graham_LRR]

(Also, I expect Nintendo to provide Wii games because they make the majority of the games that are worthwhile).

And this is the mentality that keeps all the excellent 3rd party Wii efforts from selling.

No, dude, you misunderstand me. It's not a "mentality", that is my personal opinion through experience.

The number of really fun, entertaining games I have played for Wii, that weren't made by Nintendo number a grand total of: No More Heroes.
That's of the many I own.

Besides, who cares if some Wii games don't sell? The Wii is kicking all manner of ass, they can take a good prodding for comedy.

Fresh Prince = WIN.

Also, so glad I've not turned my Wii on for the last year... wouldn't want people seeing my plans for world domination... damn, I let that slip...

Those plans aren't the worst thing that could be caught on camera, what about the people who use the Wii for, thiiiiiiiiings, on the Internet Channel?

Nintendo is devious!

 

[Caliostro]

Epic. Motherfucking. Win.


I seriously rolled around laughing... Extra kudos for bel-air. Brilliant.

Coincidentally the grand total of games that have ever made me consider, if begrudgingly, to ever own a Wii come to a grand total of: No More Heroes.

But then again I find this entire generation of consoles entirely not worth the money which I rather invest on my PC... So apparently I'm some freak creature with no soul or something.


(PS: The above is equally an opinion, not attempting to undermine your own...blablabla... Just funny fact sharing that you can't do these days without a full disclaimer or asbestos lined suit.)

 

[Crimsane]

We all just got Bel Air'd. Well played.

I think the companies that make them do. =P Like... they hear all the people who own Wiis that they want better, more core-focused games, they make them, they come out, no one buys them or gives them any attention. That's why companies decide to put out and market more games like Party Babiez, because the only games people seem to buy are those and Nintendo's first party stuff.

I dunno... I just really hate to see great stuff go under-appreciated because everyone just wants one thing. It's like going to a party where there's a popular football player, and a really funny/friendly yet kinda nerdy guy, but everyone goes and talks to and hangs out with the football player, because he's more popular.

I think this has inspired me to make my own little video(maybe a series), looking at some overlooked games. The first one will definitely be about Wii games. If you ever wanna check it out, I can let you know when I'm done with it.

Well still seems sad that the only bit of humor is in ending or while the end credits are going. Just figure a way to get these great bits into the rest of it and will be a lot better. It is getting better bit by bit, which is good to see.

 

[Taco of flames]

Hah, I haven't seen Fresh Prince in forever, and I knew that rap sounded familiar. The off-duty bits are the best, but the Onion-like reports are good too.

 

[dthvirus]

Dammit, I was doing so well avoiding Bel-Airs. Good job, guys.

 

[Kilgorn]

"so i was born in west philidalphea"
completely inconspicuous

"like i was saying, in west philidalphea i was born and raised"
O SHI- FRESH PRINCE

 

[akmarksman]

"..haven't turned my Wii on in over a year.."

priceless.

 

[Osloq]

Great show again, loved where the west Philadelphia comment at the start ended up. Can't go wrong with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You've also convinced me even further that not buying/playing Wii after the first time was a good idea because looking like a fool on Japanese tv is a personal phobia of mine.

 

[Vimbert]

These videos keep getting better and better.

 

[samsonguy920]

Damn, I thought about the Wii, now they can watch me walk by the unsold consoles in Wallyworld. I know you are watching me.....BOO!!!
Good episode, you guys are starting to really find your niche, just don't get comfy in it. That's the path to staleness, like last week's Subway cookies.

 

[Woem]

That was really really good, love the cogito ergo sum bullets. Imagine how trippy a philosophical shooter would be; couldn't take any thing at face value or could you.

Go blow up the base
Why?

Yes the cogito ergo sum bullets was definitely the best part. I can absolutely advise Planescape: Torment as the most philosophical video game ever made. "What can change the nature of a man?"

 

[CmdrGoob]

Very funny yet again, especially the Wii section. Solid gold.

 

[Mattteus]

did you open your wii?

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Taking a page out of /b/'s book?

 

[ReverseEngineered]

Oh my god, excellent job guys. I loved the clip with Patrick Scott Patterson (being that I submit NES records to TwinGalaxies and PSP is the guy who reviews them). The Modern Warfare 2 clip was excellent. Not only was it scathing, but extremely subtle -- the sarcasm was beautiful. The "Wii Would Like To Watch" was also particularly well done. I love Nintendo Spokesman's flippant attitudes towards license agreements, privacy, and customers and general, and I took great joy in the comments about not turning the Wii on in over a year (me too).

Finally, the Fresh Prince reference literally had me laughing out loud at work. I can't believe you managed to do that with a straight face. How many takes did it take?

 

[Zersy]

I'm going to go check for that license inside my Wii.

Hmmmmm that sounded kind of weird......
