Nintendo Wii?

Any cricket games coming out for this console because if there is then that is beast!!! Be like playing a simulator 

And if it does come out, it will probably be immature and stupid like most Nintendo games...

 I don't see the point of buying a Nintendo Wii. Yeah it'd be great for parties, but can you imagine how said it'd be to be standing in the middle of a room waving a stick at the TV (and not the TV remote like usual).You'd only use it about once/twice a month at best. Go with Xbox 360 or the PS3 out next March in England hopefully. The second is my preferred choice.

Aye, it is a stumbling block. But if you're serious about gaming, the Xbox or PS3 is definitely the one to go for.

The nintendo wii looks more like a gimmick than a games console to be honest, it's probably aimed at young kids.

They've actually made a cricket game for PS2 where you get a mini plastic bat and ball. Apparently it's rubbish though.

Apparently the "wands" are very slippy and there have been hundreds of cases of them slipping out of people's hands and smashing their TVs, windows etc.

Right, Slogger, need to be more cafeful with those, or you could just sit on your bed and play or place somewhere it wouln't break if dropped.

Yeah, theres a lesson to be learnt there as well though, don't wave slippy lumps of plastic around whilst drunk.

Your mom is right, DF. PS3 is expensive at the moment, prices will go down after few months, so WII is the good choice for right now.

What about Xbox 360?

I thought the Nintendo wii was a joke I was watching South Park the other day whee cartman desperately wanted the wii so he froze himself and went 500 years into the future.

I personally like the Wii. I'd like to know whether those criticising it have played one? The remote works very well with non-party, or "serious" games. It adds a new dimension, but you certainly get a greated feeling of control, and it really adds to the gaming experience.   This coming from a somewhat "serious" gamer.

I have played a few games on the wii, with friends they are fantastic, a great laugh. on your own there are only one or two games worth playing, like zelda. It's innovative and a different direction to the rest of the market which is just chasing power and graphics. single player may become more exciting when the online stuff gets going.

it will be better if the bring out a Cricket 2008 or something like that. And By the way now Brian Lara has retired who is taking his place with the games
