Wii-only owners, please stop embarrassing yourselves: get another system
1:25 PM

I'm not telling you to get rid of your Wii. I'm telling you to get a PS3 or 360 to compliment your Wii. Stop being a whiney bitch and embarrassing yourself by clammering for crappy versions of 360/PS3 games.

Recently, Capcom announced Street Fighter IV for the 360, PS3, and PC. Honestly, who expected anything more than that? Wii-only owners, obviously, and boy, are they outraged. They really want that watered-down port of a game that their console cannot handle. I mean, I bet the Wiimote+Nuncuk doesn't even have enough buttons for it, but I bet they'd be find with waggling their remotes. But, really, why on earth would an HD, high-end game NOT go to a non-HD, low-end console?

The same thing happened with Resident Evil 5 when (surprise) it was announced only for 360 and PS3 (and probably PC somewhere down the line). Again, Wii owners wanted a crappy, watered-down port on their system. What the hell?

Oh, hey, guess what? They finally get a watered-down, crappy port on their system. It's called Rock Band. Wait, they complain about that and now they're not getting it, 'cause they're getting a watered-down, crappy port of Guitar Hero: World Tour.

Seriously, stop embarrassing yourselves, guys. Stop saying you want crappy versions of games. Go get another console for the better versions of these games.

You know, with all the shovelware the Wii gets, I'd expect the Wii owners to really want a game that's been given tender, loving care, built just for the Wii. I'd expect Nintendo fans to want SOUL in their games. But here they are, wanting Capcom to strip the soul out of their games, get them to throw away all their hard work on the higher-end consoles, and slap it on the Wii. The Wii fanboys say that there's a good reason they should do this: money. The Wii fanboys are constantly whining about, "THE WII MAKES THE MOST MONEY! WHY DON'T THEY MAKE GAMES FOR THE WII! IT'S LIKE FREE MONEY!" And then suddenly, someone like Ubisoft comes in, making crappy games like "Petz" and the Wii fanboys complain, "ALL THEY'RE DOING IS CASHIN-IN WITH THESE CRAPPY GAMES." Hey, that sounds familiar...didn't you want Capcom to do that with their games? So it's okay if Capcom does it and not Ubisoft?

Oh, no, wait. Ubisoft said they weren't releasing Prince of Persia or Beyond Good and Evil for the Wii, but they still want it. Bah, the cycle continues.

I don't hate the Wii. I love it. I love the stuff that the Wii gets, the stuff that's built with the Wii in mind. REAL Wii games, not ports from other consoles. If all theses Wii owners are spending 40 bucks on crappy ports of Okami, and 90 bucks on Wii Fit, why can't they save up some more money and buy a damn 360!? That would be a better investment, 'cause they're obviously interested in the 360's games... Plus, yeah, non-crappy online. Hah, yeah, you saw that coming. I have to work that into every Nintendo rant.
