What is the point in the Wii's SD card anyway?!

The Wii only has stereo output, not 5.1 surround sound.

Oh, and Excite Truck is more fun than Motorstorm.  That is where is has the edge.

<sigh>  Here we go.  The Wii's stereo output is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic II, which is the EXACT SAME THING as Dolby Digital.  Multichannel discrete audio, separate subwoofer track, etc.  Just coming out of an analog out instead of a digital out.  You should do a little research before you speak.  In fact, don't bother.  I've already been doing the research most of my life.  You can take my word for it.

2. Yeah, Ninja Gaiden Sigma was awesome... when it was Ninja Gaiden Black on Xbox, which was also great... when it was the original Xbox Ninja Gaiden. Sorry if I'm not getting too terribly excited about that title. And unlike Resident Evil 4 Wii, Sigma isn't $30.... you are paying full price for a re-release that doesn't even have as many extra features as RE4 does. Ummmm..... I think that's p0wnage....

I'm sorry but Ninja Gaiden has totally redrawn graphics and an added character never seen before and whole new bosses as well as weapons and combos. Resident Evil 4 is an exact duplicate of the Resident Evil from the PS2. In essence the only new thing is the Wii controls which is nice but as far as content goes Sigma blows away and makes RE4 get p0wnage. Now there is a huge price difference which makes purchasing both games a necessity but as far as content goes theres only one game that totally owns and that's Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

There'a another articulate arguement fueled by nothing more than heresay and guessing.

People, when you play the games, please comment on them.

So you mean to tell me you haven't read any reviews of either of these games because everything I stated above is neither guessing or hearsay. I'm guess that your a huge fan of RE4 and it pains you emotionally when people talk negatively about it.

Don't forget to touch upon the "Light Guns" issue, Luke!  I'm totally excited to hear about that one!!

[/QUOTE]Well you need to do more research then because the Wii does not support Dolby Digital 5.1. And don't even try to argue with me on this audio stuff because I went to school for it, too.

The Wii uses Dolby-Pro Logic II which merely simulates surrond sound over two channels.

Boy, if audio is your profession as you say, then.. yikes!

[QUOTE=Luke][QUOTE=Blah]"And Paper Mario? Hmm.. I dunno, the new Sonic?" Okay that's it! I was really thinking about going easy on you, what with everyone else attacking you. But come on! Are you really idiotic enough to believe that Sonic the Hedgehog for the 360 and PS3 can blow Super Paper Mario out of the water?! Are you insane?! Super Paper Mario has a score of 86 on Metacritic. Sonic, however, has a score of 46 on the 360 and a score of 43 on the PS3 respectively. Boy, based on scores like that I really wanna get a crappy/glitchy platformer over a deep and nostalgic RPG/platformer hybrid! I apologize if this was just a tad ranty. Just a tad. [/QUOTE]So you're saying Metacritic is the absolute final word on all video games now? [/QUOTE]

Nope. They're not very good at calculating general scores (a four out of five equals an 80 for them). HOWEVER, when there's a forty point difference between two games, it seems rather clear that one's better than the other. It doesn't have the final word, but it does tell you if a majority of game reviewers thought a game was crappy (ex:Sonic the Hedghog).

[QUOTE=Luke][QUOTE=Adamant][QUOTE=Luke]Miltary Madness I'm not familiar with, but I'm guessing Resistance or Gears Of War would do the trick and keep you busy for awhile.
[/QUOTE]Actraiser is again completely different from Tenchi and yet another Ninja Gaiden remake (yawn)[/QUOTE]Of course they're completely different, THEY'RE BRAND NEW! Actraiser is over 15 years old now![/QUOTE]

Yep, and still better than both combined but then again I'm a tad prejudiced.
