Wii and Super Mario Galaxy First Impressions

[MadMunky20k]

Hey, Magus! If you're interested, try Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Great game.

[Smashtv360]

the distinction between casual and hardcore isnt about what console you use, what games you play, online rankings, etc...its just your dedication to games you enjoy. Great vid.

[ineebriate]

Good vid.

[mitnosi]

You said "Light Gun Games" 6 times in the span of 10 seconds @@

[MasterBORRACHO]

Wii is badass. I don't know why people diss it for it being casual when Halo and all ther other games they play are casual games.

[bodge2k]

Great intelligent vid as always magus. you *wii fanboi* ;D lol keep it up man

[KungPaoKitties]

Great videos! Very interesting.

[PixelSandwich]

Hey Magus, No More Heroes rocks. You should check out De Blob and a cooking game that rules called Order Up

[AXE325XXEXE]

Nice vid, good job.

[cousinmatt21]

SMG is one of the top 5 of this generation in my opinion, hope you enjoy it Magus.

[ZephyrWins]

Legend of Zelda TP is the best single player game on the wii and than Brawl is the best multiplayer. But atleast u picked a veerrryy good time to get a wii again because hopefully a new Zelda announcement at E3.

[WorldsNo1Otaku]

maybe to you Legend of Zelda TP is the best single player game on the Wii but i dont think that. Its a good game though, ill give it that

[GenuineReplica]

i like light gun games

i like light gun games

i like light gun games

i like light gun games

well...

I LOVE LIGHT GUN GAMES!!!

[Rivalseeker]

Super Mario Galaxy is a great game. In fact, it's the closest thing to Super Mario Bros. 3 IMHO.

SSBB is good IMHO too, and contrary to what other people say, I still think it's the best in the series. Sure, the online is shit, but I still like it. As a matter of fact, I liked The Subspace Emissary mode and I'd play it again. I really don't know why people hated that mode so much.  :/

As for other games, yeah, they are slow coming, but 2009 has been looking better for the Wii IMHO.

[Rivalseeker]

Still, I do think that you probably need another current-gen system to go with it if you're hardcore with games. Me personally, I might want a PS3(if I can afford it :( ) to go with it since it has my attention with its current library of games.

But slow coming as the games are on Wii, I am willing to wait since I do see some that I wish to play, and I'm all for Nintendo's franchises.

[WorldsNo1Otaku]

i think that when it comes to hardcore gaming the 360 is the most dominant. the ps3 is good too with games like Uncharted and i cant wait for Uncharted 2. i think that the Wii is mostly for the casual gamers but it does have some decent games for the hardore gamers.

[morphiouss55]

If you want an example of the wii being for casual gamers you need to look no further than smash bros brawl. Doesn't have online ranking and can't play online with your friends on the same console. LAME. it's for casual gamers.

[WorldsNo1Otaku]

yeah but at the same time casual games can be a lot of fun. i think everyone can use a break from playing their Halo and Gears and stuff like that.

[video64ps2]

once u sit down and play mario galaxy ur gonna love it its a really fun game and probably the best for the wii u also should check out brawl

[Seabas989]

SMG is an amazing game that is my persoanl favorite game this gen with only the Orange Box being a close second.

[GamingShadow01]

mario kart channel. but you need mario kart wii to download it.

[theozman92]

yes a wii

[number6ebf]

Nice Impressions video. I love light gun games too. Link's Crossbow Training is nice and you can get it dirt cheap without the "Wii zapper" add on. I recommend picking up the "Nyko Perfect Shot" gun add on if you are really into gun games. It's a lot better than the Wii zapper in my opinion. On Wiiware there is a decent gun game called "Guns of the Wild West" (or something like that). That's a gun game you can play with the whole family (even my wife likes to play that game).

[uberpwner930]

The Wii, IMO, is a hit and miss system. Great titles such as No More Heroes really show gamers that the Wii can be a hardcore system rather than an exclusive casual one.

All the games you got, even though I haven't played Paper Mario, are great games and I hope you have fun with it.

[SolarisParadox]

The Wii is a "meh" console with a "BAH!" library, but Super Mario Galaxy is made of win.

[rusty2nd3000]

Hey MagusX1, about your comment on consoles don't need a web browsers . I hate to say, I highly disgree with that comment, because I can use the browser to download content from the internet such as music and photos, and exc. . And also, having a web browser on a console makes it easier to check my e-mail and go on Youtube, while someone else is on the computer . What I'm trying to say having a web browser on a console isn't all that bad .

[b3y0nDLeg3nD]

As i'm watching this vid from my PS3...

[DukeNukem3DO]

hey magus are you going to get madworld?

[UltraMasamune]

Are u looking forward to Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars??

Cuhz i know i am! =]

[sigmahunter06]

Heck yeah man, and if they have online play, you're gonna get pwned by teh Sigma.

[RandomName158]

The Wii is next on my list of consoles to get. Meaning I probably won't be picking one up till the next gen is already out. Oh well, have fun with yours Magus.

[plutopig666]

River City Ransom is a great virtual console game. Enjoy that wii!

[DarkZero2021]

Congrats on getting a Wii, Magus.

Hope you have a good time with it.

[dhLord64]

Homebrew channel is the best. You can play DVD's. biggest exposed feature ever

[forestlock]

Great video Magus.

[XpsychkidX]

OMG!

You got a Wii?

[CrzyNick]

I must admit you have some good friends magus.

Who gives away a wii?

Magus get a ps3......please.

[gamesandme]

I think he's gonna get one after talking about a bunch of games for the PS3 during this week's recording of the Review Club!

[CrzyNick]

What's the Review Club?

[permex91]

who needs the Virtual Console when you can get the Homebrew Channel?

....yea i'm cheap :)

[Go4Br0ke]

My Wii will continue to collect dust(as it has been doing for months) until I get Punch Out.

[FREAKFANATIC]

That fucking joke is getting really old by now, my PS3 and Wii collect dust too and I play them both all the time.

[Go4Br0ke]

No I'm dead serious. I have not played it in months. I'll play it when I get Punch out soon. When I get tired of Punch Out, I'll place it back in it box...again.

[FREAKFANATIC]

Oh well, I guess the Wii is not for everyone. It has a lot of good games, but I guess some people don't take it seriously anymore!

[justiceiscoming]

I don't. Online sucks major ass. Even games with good online, ala MoHH2, don't have WiiSpeak support.

[nick31189x]

so what if the online sucks ass. most onlin e games suck ass anyways. Single player FTW.

[justiceiscoming]

Gears of War, Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2, should I keep going? Multiplayer is more fun for me. Single player is lonely and depressing.

[FREAKFANATIC]

You know the Conduit is comming soon right? And, it will support Wii speak. So I think its a good start, since I don't really care for Animal Crossing, which I'm sure its a good game, but it doesn't interest me. Also, FYI Mario Kart and Exciteboots have great online play too.

[sigmahunter06]

No way dude for real?

[gamesandme]

Funny you mention that. I've been using my PS3 and Wii a lot more lately, mostly because of Punch-Out!! and the inFamous demo. although admittedly i need to download the FN Round 4 demo on 360.

[MagusX1]

lol Alex we need to get some Gears 2 in dude!

[phoenix9909]

whats the point of BUYING a game on virtual console when there are roms of that same game that you can get for free

[MagusX1]

Well some people will question, some would rather buy it, for me, sometimes emulation is broken....sometimes its not...some games can be a bitch to emulate...example TG16 cd games you have to burn the cd and all kinds of shit to get it to work, with this you just download it!

[Zapper101]

It is also a matter of respect if you enjoy the games greatly enough to support and buy. I loved SNES games, and even with good emulators, I still bought several SNES games on the virtual console.

[MagusX1]

Thats true, I own several copies of several old games and have them emulated(i.e Super Mario Bros 3, Sonic 2, etc etc) so yea its all good!

[phoenix9909]

that is true, some roms are totally broken, but games like super mario bros 3 and f-zero work fine on an emulator, overall though i felt very dissapointed with the wii in general, don't get me wrong, galaxy is a great game, but it's just not as challenging as mario 64 & sunshine, and friend codes just drive me insane, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING when they decided to put friend codes in! i sold my wii and got a ps3

[MagusX1]

Thats cool, well I like the wii, plus its also for my son as well, I mean most of my 360 games are not appropriate for him, and he loves Wii Sports!

[Agravain3]

mangus is entitled to think what he wants. the wii isnt for everyone.

and eys this is a big nintnedo fan saying that.

some people just arent as into mario and zelda as me. i get that and the sooner you do the better. dont make the wii fanbase sound dumb and quit hating on mangus. just enjoy the games u like and let others do the same

[SciFiAnime86]

Congratulations on getting a Wii, Magus! Glad you like Super Mario Galaxy so far. The 'gravity' the game uses is very cool, but the black holes can get annoying.

[MagusX1]

I know you have a wii my old friend, do you have a friend code and all that good stuff?

[SciFiAnime86]

Yes I do.

[slagarcrue85]

@MagusX1

nice job magus

[IrishGodThe4th]

its a good thing ur a great speaker

[IrishGodThe4th]

man ur camera quality used to be way better what happened

[overlordashura]

The wii's a good system for what it is. But what yanks my cord about that system is that most games only have the chucks as a control scheme, verus havin that, the classic controller, and the gamecube as other options. As side from that, wii's okay.

[Gamesification]

You said 'lightgun games' 6 times in 20 seconds...

[Gamesification]

There hasn't been a good Wii game released since Mario Kart.

[METROIDFAN258]

Wario Land, Animal Crossing, and Punch-Out!!

[Gamesification]

It's fun to list out random games, right? I said GOOD games.

[jlinky1]

Piss off, dude. They ARE good games you stupid motherfucker

[Gamesification]

Wii fanboys make me laugh

[jlinky1]

Im not a fanboy im defending Gsmesification

[SorrowsHeelTurn]

Well in my opinion Mario Kart Wii WAS the last great Wii game. That's my OPINION.

[MagusX1]

I respect that Gary....

[jlinky1]

Pffft. Whatever

[FREAKFANATIC]

I my opinion the last great Wii game on 2008 was Tales of Shymponia 2.

[SorrowsHeelTurn]

well, that's not out in Europe till later this year so obviously for me it isn't. :P Although I have high hopes for it.

[phoenix9909]

that is so true! the wii has been getting so much crap lately, i don't even know why punch got so much hype, seeing as the wii is competing with 360 and ps3 you'd expect it to have online multiplayer, but of course not

[sigmahunter06]

Thumbs down.

[JohnMarksTV]

I pirate all my wii games

[Eddiepsp]

Hey Magus are you planning on buying Silent Hill Remake on the Wii?

[yoda55]

only thing i was disappointed in super mario galaxy was the absence of the 7 koopalings from super mario bros. 3 other than that its a good game nice video :)

[overlordashura]

You and a lot of people man. I'm like whatever with the koopalings at this point. We got to see them in mario and luigi superstar saga and that's good enough. Should nintendo decide to bring them back, cool. If they don't, nothing of value was lost.
