I don't even know what Wii Play is...

**Jerichi** · 01-22-2009, 04:57 PM

Isn't Wii Sports the best seller of all time?

And packaged with the Wii so it doesn't really count?

Wii Play is something completely different, just for your information.

Wii Play is a game and a Wii Remote for price a small amount higher than just buying a Wiimote.

Its the controller for $10 more with a disc containing rather demo-ish mini-games from my understanding. You could liken it to Guitar Hero/Wii Fit/etc. Games that come with extra accessories.... I guess.

Yeah systems pack-ins don't count. It isn't pack-in in Japan so that complicates things but ya doesn't really count. Games sold with systems were never really tracked well in the past and still really aren't to this day so its best not to include those.

Wow, when did UPNetwork become /v/ again?

DAMN CASUALS PLAYING GAMES AND HAVING FUN THEY SHOULD BE A HARDCORE GAMER LIKE ME AND PLAY LOTS OF BIG MANLY SHOOTERS WITH BIG MANLY MEN SHOOTING EVEN MANLIER LOOKING ALIENS

The fact that a girl said this means that I must have stumbled into the twilight zone somehow. I mean, I expect that shit out of boys and man-children who define their masculinity by how many invectives they can fling in a Halo match, but...

Surprised madden is up there. All you have to do to win in that game is throw to a reciver running a slot route over the middle and play zone def. 24/7.

I need to get a wii.. though for some reason every time I have some money theyre sold out around here and I spend the money on something else.

InhebriatedEquilibrium1 · 02-14-2009, 07:33 PM

I agree Demosthenes. I'm sorry you got banned. I guess some people are just immature. Anyways! Has anyone played mirrors edge yet? I heard it got a 10/10!
