Help choosing a New Video Game system! I need some Help here! Old school or Current Generation?

Question

Well, Im looking to get a new gaming console. However im not sure which is the right one for me. I have previously owned all 3 of the latest consoles at one point in time (Ps3, Wii, and 360) However i was just never satisfied. I love that Ps3 has blue ray. But the titles suck, im not into shooting and sports games, Wii has alot of fun titles, but it just seems to be a console meant for kids, 360 is alright but for $20 more i can get a ps3 (Assuming the 360 elite cost $479.) Im not really sure where to turn, i have my old xbox and all i ever play on it is the old roms, like Snes and Nes games, but i just dont like using the xbox controller to play classic games, Im 18, have a limited budget $400 TOPS. I dont care if the system is refurbished or used. and ironically where i live Wii's are readily availible( go figure) I dunno maby i will even get an old school system, I just love the way the Nes and Snes controller feel, but then the good games, tend to run in the $25 and up range.

Answer 1

Well, first thing you should know is that you're gonna get a lot of biased opinions here (mine included). I'd say get a Wii. It'll have a wide variety of genres available, but I guess if you're not into nintendo, it might not be worth it.

Keep in mind, if you have wi-fi, you can download old NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, and one other old system that I forget's games on the Wii.

Answer 2

Go for which has the games you like.
Bear in mind they are all relatively early in their life cycle and the range of games will broaden soon. (look at the range out for the PS2 now.)
As the chap above says, as is true to varying degrees for all the consoles, their are a variety of cheaper, 'retro'style games available online.
The Wii may appear a little childish, but that doesn't stop it from having games such as Resident Evil appear on it. (Manhunt 2 is still due out for it, if it can get passed.)
