Okay first of let me say that this ISN'T a next gen war. There are enough of those already and its always wrecked by fan boys so there's no point in even bothering any more.
So let me explain the story:
A few weeks ago i came into some money (Around £350 to be exact) and i thought to myself immideiatly to get a nintendo Wii. While i was up the town ,after ringing around to actually locate one of the damm things, i walked past the window of a second hand store and noticed a SNES. I remembered the hours i used to spend on my original Snes playing super mario kart,Street Fighter,Super Star wars and ofcourse super mario brothers. So in the end i went home and bought a snes of ebay for £18 with 2 controllers,Street fighter 2 and Super star wars. Most Snes games on ebay go for around £5 and there even less if you manage to find them in a second hand store or somewhere.
So at the moment after buying some games an an arcade control stick i've spent around £35. Compared to the Wii's £300
Gameplay wise i doubt anyone can say that the SNES is bad. It offers most of the best games and that feeling of nostalgia just throws the SNES on top for me.
I know the Wii has virtual console that allows you to buy old SNES games but its just not the same. The fun of the old snes games where in there flaws aswell as there pros. i mean super ghouls and ghosts was just impossiable and it still is. WHeres the fun or challange if you have saves? Granted you dont have to use them but still.
So theres my Verdict. SNES for me wins on most levels besides graphics but its a known fact Wii has the weakest graphics of any next gen console. if you want graphics go for a 360, If you want fun to play great games then always go for nintendo.
Anyway...thoughts? Share you experiances of the two, Be it whatever.
And just for the record yes i have played the Wii and most games avaliable for it.
