Console Help
    #20630836 - 09/28/14 01:45 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

I'm trying to decide on what gaming console to get my 7 year old boy and 6 year old girl. Something used, cheap, and with decent games. People are recommending the Wii, but I'm not sure if I like the way the controller feels.

Thanks

This.


Although.. there is the fact that with the Wii... you can do a shitload more with it than an N64....
You can root/jailbreak? it (I forget what it's called with a console lol)... attach a HD to it, put some apps on it... and play ANY NES/SNES/N64/Wii game ever made.

I have a 300GB HDD on my Wii that has like thousands upon thousands of games on it. I think the entire NES catalog of olike every obscure NES game ever made, only takes up like 2GB or something silly like that, lol.

So the Wii has that over the N64 at least. With N64 you are stuck playing only N64 games.. which isn't bad... but Wii can play N64.. Wii games... NES... SNES...

Also if you aren't crazy about the controller (it's only really useful in Wii games really).... you can get N64/SNES controllers that will work with the Wii.

I did not know they had controllers for the wii, that's good to know. Although I use my PC for emulation but I do have a wii if I ever want to take it with me somewhere with some snes/nes shizz

Ya.. there aren't the "For real deal" N64 controllers from Nintendo or whatever.. they are clones or whatever with adapters to work on Wii.
The joystick thing isn't as fluid and solid feeling as the legit Nintendo controllers, but they get the job done.

I'd say a wii u, for games like mario world, mario kart etc.

The only thing is you need a wii controller to use the wii menu and a classic controller to play the games from the wii shop

but I mean with the game pad and a pro controller for the wii u you'd only have to buy a game once and they both could play together, where as with 3ds or 2ds  theyd both need one and then they'd need seperate games

I dunno I think the wii u is better and you could watch them play too

You can get a refurbrished one on nintendo.com for like 220$

I have a 32gb one and I haven't downloaded any games really, nothing get's installed on the system every because all the games run in 720p and the blu ray is fairly fast

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Yeah the wii is great.
I picked one up used for 50 bucks and then bought a usb hardrive.
Running emulators and downloaded wii games.

Although i still need proper controllers, so that another added cost since it only came with one old wii controller and thumb stick piece. Don't have that advanced wii motion thing.

the nunchuk? ah that's kinda lame.
And yeah I love how you can softmod (Thanks CJ :lol: ) the Wii and basically play anything on it.
You can also use it as a media machine.... we don't watch TV or subscribe to cable anymore...
But we do watch netflix on it... and if you have Amazon prime you can also get Amazon videos on demand on it.
