what was it like?

it was a lot like super mario brothers except there were 5 of us playing at once.  with collision between us it was good fun.  yu can alos pick eachother up and throw eachother,  and jump off eachothers heads to get higher.  also,  you can eat eachother if you get a yoshi.  best mario yet.  even better than mario 3.  fred and ben savage in the wizard with the power glove.  oh yeah.

for the most part, any game you can play with others is so much more fun.. so i can imagine.. thats mostly why i went to mmos...

I"m not bashing the wii... i considered getting one.. and my girlfriend occasionally asks me to get it.. but she doensn't play games at all... and only watches.. and i'd hate to buy a system for only one game.

also the wii-u introduces a lot of social aspects to the console.  you can write messages to other players and even group up with them.  not quite an mmo by todays standards but "nintendo land" would be considered an mmo if any free-to-play games had any say.  it's basically a lobby where you can group up with other people and join the mini game you want.

my cousin had a wii.. i took a turn playing a combat game on it.. it was relatively fun.. but i'm a rpg/fantasy/martial arts guy myself.... so i can't imagine buying one.

a lot of the games on systems are going that route.. but i'd believe the wii/nintendo is the most group oriented system.

i havent owned a console since gamecube.  im visiting my sister and her husband (my bro in law) bought a wii-u.  i was impressed.  not at all what i expected.   it's actually really really cool.  im not too into the moveing the controller or whatever thing they got goin but the connection to the internet and being able to group with people is really really cool.  for a console.

The wii is an interesting console... but as previous posters say.. with no real games.. and all being targeted to the ultra casual... I've no interest in nintendo.

launched with Black Ops, Ninja Gaiden, and ZombiU.

 

all those ultra casual games.

Black Ops = port with no online community

Ninja Gaiden = bad game

ZombiU = mediocre game

i think mmos are gonna have competition. .because most consoles are going that route... if the wii:u comes out with more games that i like.. i'll consider buying it.

yeah,  im not about to rush out and buy a wii-u.  but,  it was much better than i expected.  if i ever bought a new nintendo (be it wii-u or whatever they come out with in the future)  it would be to play the old classics.  you can download old NES games for a few dollars.   i spent a few hours this morning playing mike tysons puchout and act raiser.  but the wii-u does prove, at least imo,  that consoles aren't that far from having mmo's more prevelant in their repetaur.

I don't think for the most part... that console games could actually be mmos.. not at this point.. (not counting mmos that are downloaded and played with consoles). but at the same time.. they meet the core requirements.. u can play with various ppl on the console and you can make friends...one of the latest lotr games had online playability.. borderlands has online coop.. a lot of games do.. i just wish games like dragons dogma/infamous/assassins creed had coop modes.. it would be amazing to play as my personally created char alongside other ppl..

Well...You dont know roguelikes?  You must be a youngin!

Edit : That was sarcasm and should not be taken as an insult. 

But seriously.  Theres a severe lack of roguelikes tbh.  I remember first playing all kinds of those in ASCII graphics...Oh those were the days. rofl

Nah not a nintendo product at all xD PS1 and PS2 had more roguelikes than n64 and gamecube. 

This was my first roguelike and Ive been hooked on them ever since. I bought my consoles based on whether I could find those xD.

Edit :

Dreamcast was one of the best consoles for me and died when the rest of the consoles released their stuff.  Idk..Im slightly fearful that would happen to Nintendo.

what are your favorite games/types?

 

and lately consoles have seem more rpg than a lot of mmos... dragons dogma.. dragon age.... infamous assassin's creed

I like games where I create stuff with only partial control over 'everything' and the AI itself reacts to my creations.

things like Majesty, Cities in Motion (replacing the long-incompatible Traffic Giant). , old city-building games like Caesar 3, Pharaoh...and MMOs like EVE for the crafting/trading aspect.

And most Westwood games, particularly Tiberian Sun and Renegade.

RIP Westwood.

RIP Sierra.

I've been gaming since the early 80's and I can honestly say I've never actually heard that term for those type of games before, and I've played my fair share of them.  Learn something new everyday I guess.
