Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Or Xbox 360?

We here at SUPERMEGADIO!!!!! have carefully avoided entering the 'great video game system debate' for many reasons. The primary reason is that the greatest video game ever has already been made and played (often!) and there really is no reason to ever make another video game let alone new systems to play them on. Plus, we really don't care for video games!

With that in mind, we now present to you the definitive ruling on which is the greatest of the three new video game consoles: Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, or Xbox 360.

Really, this is no contest. There is only one system which truly revolutionizes what a video game is. Remember, how Dave would drag you to the arcade and make you watch some lame 3-D game and he would go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how this was the future of video games, and you were like, "I don't care, let's go to the comic store!" God-Damn. God. Damn.

Anyway, he was wrong. And Dragonslayer didn't revolutionize video gaming either in case you were wondering. No, the true answer lies in the Nintendo Wii!

This thing is fun! Period! (Well, exclamation marks, really). We here at SUPERMEGADIO!!!!! had the distinct pleasure of playing some Wii this weekend. There's a high level of interactivity that you don't get in traditional, non-Legend of Zelda: A Link To the Past (or its Gameboy sequel) games. You really have to get up off of your butt and play! We played a sports game containing bowling, baseball, tennis, golf, and boxing and some Zelda! Yup, Zelda! I would play this Zelda game!

You've seen the commercials of the two ninjas* driving up in their little car to bring fun to the perpetually surprised people**. And they look like dorks jumping around and flipping the remotes and such. Well, they may look like dorks, but they clearly had fun!

Well, isn't this what Guitar Hero does? Isn't that interactive? Man, you couldn't be more wrong! I've never heard a dumber question in my life! Let's face it, Guitar Hero is lame!*** I know that, and I barely played it. The Wii follows your movements and allows you to beat up on Bob! Let me repeat that, you can beat up on Bob! (Ok, he won the second fight).

If you want me to play video games, the answer is simple. Get a Wii! That's what Dio would do!

*If I learned anything from Frank Miller, it's all Asians are ninjas!
**That one's for you Priscilla!
***And no Dio!

Of course you're better than Joshua at baseball. The shocking thing would be if he were better at any of the sports than you!

What is this 1920? No, you can't use a stick! You need hundreds of dollar's of high tech electronic equipment!

just for completeness sake, have you even played a 360 or a PS3?

The fact that I've only played the Wii is irrelevant. While the PS3 and Xbox360 may (or may not) provide excellent computing power and speed, with fantastic graphics (essentially, more of the same), the Wii changes the actual nature of the video game experience. I can't imagine either the PS3 or the Xbox360 doing that!

1) I kick her ass at tennis (and I'll kick any of your asses at tennis too!)

2) Adam you're crazy and a jerk for not liking that picture. Also a little crazy.

3) The E is for awesomE.

4) The 360 is a great console in other respects (overall polish). It's not really anything groundbreaking, just an overall great experience for playing games.
