Xbox 360 Features We Wish Were on Other Consoles - Wii Edition

Our consoles for the new generation have boasted all sorts of useful features. From playing online with friends, to listening to music in-game; the gaming system as we know it is evolving. But what happens when you own all the systems? You can't help but wish that some were different- probably adding or eliminating some key features to make a system just for you. To us, the Xbox 360 seems to provide the best features, but even that isn't perfect. Before the hate mail arrives, I'll be writing about the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 too. Here are some features we wish were on the Wii that the Xbox 360 already has:

xbox live and hd gaming lol

Improved online would help tremendously

SKGamer5127d ago

Yeah that list covers a lot of the bases. If even a couple of these features were in the Wii, I might actually use our "family" system, instead of just letting my brother have it exclusively.

"PS3 Features We Want to See on the 360"? Short list. Blu-Ray.

-MD-5127d ago

Blu-ray is about the only thing I want on my 360.

Sup troll.

"There are currently 750 (exclusive: 116; multiplatform: 559; console exclusive: 75) games on this list."

If you forget this couple of features things ;)

Wifi
Cell architecture, for nextgenaration games, it's allready proved.
XDR RAM system
Silent drive
Cell processor/RSX GPU
Bluetooth
Better harddrives.

Those things are missing in my 360.

MegaPowa5127d ago

Well i don't think the 360 needs any of that desperately because its still doing just fine without them if you want that kind of stuff just play the ps3.

deadreckoning6665127d ago (Edited 5127d ago )

@The real killer- Those are things that YOU may want for your 360, but its not something that all or even MOST 360 only owners care about. If they were in the market for a system with Wifi Cell architecture for nextgenaration games, XDR RAM system, Silent drive, Cell processor/RSX GPU, Bluetooth, and a better harddrive...they woulda just gotten a PS3.

Its like saying that my DS is missing a super AMOLED screen because its a feature I like in another mobile device. Doesn't make sense. If the 360 had all those features...it wouldn't be a 360.

@ The Real Killer

I don't think even the developers like the Cell Architecture. Discrete SPEs are a b!tch to work with. The next PS should have a modified cell with more unified SPEs.

The Wii needs a better GPU and CPU, but most of their best games look fine and don't rely on graphics, just nostalgic gameplay like SMB,SSB, Zelda, Metroid, etc.

The real killer5127d ago (Edited 5127d ago )

I'm not hate the 360 i only wish that 360 has the same features like the PS3 :)

Couple of days and finaly i get Alan Wake :) the most wanted game for my 360 and that's it, i think there are no better games than Alan wake for the 360 for my taste.

"I don't think even the developers like the Cell Architecture. Discrete SPEs are a b!tch to work with. The next PS should have a modified cell with more unified SPE"

Thats remains to be see :) why becouse many developers see the PS3 as the lead platform, that is a sign that the Cell architecture is far more better than X86 architecture from PC, only the hardware companies like Asus/MSI/Nvidia/ATI have support those architecture and if it happen, Intel just get lose grip of the X86 pattent becouse the cell architecture kill the X68 architecture easy if we talk about the PC with the Cell architecure in my opnion.

"The Wii needs a better GPU and CPU, but most of their best games look fine and don't rely on graphics, just nostalgic gameplay like SMB,SSB, Zelda, Metroid, etc"

You are right about that, Wii has may good titles and yet they miss the power of the CPU and GPU.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H92d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX2d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H92d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro2d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos1d 12h ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger882d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk772d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos2d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris2d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander19722d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

CaptainFaisal2d ago

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

MrDead2d ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan2d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl2d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.
