Bah, he's a tool anyway. If any girl at my school says they <3 Shia LaDouche, I get the f*** out of there.

So, Shia LaBeouf says that the Wii is a amateur console. This coming from someone who's acting skills are way below amateur level.

he is probably one of those cool people who thinks if its not a FPS its not good.

hmm, that's unfortunate. I rather like him as an actor. Oh well. I'm sure he'll get his fair share of abuse for this one.

He's a hack as an actor and obviously the kind of idiot that buys Carnival Games expecting blood and gore.

I'm pretty sure the publishers of the game won't like his statement. He better get the f**** out of their way.

Big words coming from some actor I've never even heard of.

Hang on, the Xbox 360 and PS3 controller are way more complicated than the Wii Remote, and all require both hands to play. So how the F**** if his hands are "broken" play the Xbox 360 or PS3 then but not the Wii? Just don't get him that thing that requires to move your arms about for the Xbox 360.

For those of you who don't know, he was Mutt in the newest Indiana Jones, and I thought he did a very good job. Also he was in Holes.

Don't be too hard on him. He grew up on the streets and didn't get a proper education. Apparently his dad made him dress up in a clown suit, so you can imagine it got pretty ugly there. Pretty sad, especially since he was in a Disney movie and that Indiana Jones movie nobody liked. Maybe he'll mature once he hits puberty and ceases his Orlando Bloom wannabe thing going on.

Wii owners are among the best gamers you could play alongside..
The Wii is amateurish? Oh yeah, like the games on the 360 and PS3 are really, really hard to complete and need a superb level of skill.. what a laugh.

Noone like Indy 4? I thought it was the 2nd best, behind the 3rd

The wii is an amateur console?
It may have a lot of amateur games, but its not an amateur console. A lot of game developers just have really boring and crappy game ideas. If I new how to code, I think I could turn a lot of heads. Dont diss Nintendo, diss the games...

I'M NEVER GIVING YOU THIS ALLSPARK!!!

So the guy who pretty much ruined Indy IV is dissing other people? Idiot.

@18: But I thought LaDouche was quite clever! : P You're right, though, complaining about the guy's opinion won't really make us better off than him. It's just rather annoying that people STILL generalise like this.

He's got major issues. I saw an interview with him on Conan O'Brien and you could tell he was a pretty messed up person. I hate to talk about the guy, but its obvious.

I wonder if it's the same hand he broke in his drunk-driving accident. What a tool.

I'm not a big fan of his anyway. I've learned to tolerate him but I still think he's a punk and a bit cocky too. The movies he's in like Indy 4 and the transformers would have been better without him but I don't feel like he totally ruined them. He's no Harrison ford that's for sure. In all honesty Shia is not a very good actor at all. I'm glad he doesn't like the Wii. He doesn't deserve one.

Best chuck my Wii in the bin then! Oh wait, not on the say-so of a celebrity loser!

Let him star in the movies - we don`t need to listen to his "it`s -me-ble-ble"

@28
LOL! No not that messed up, seen that one on youtube. The episode of Conan is on hulu if you want to see it.

This has to be the most ringing endorsement for the Wii I've seen all year. I mean, seriously? We're supposed to take what LaBeefcake says seriously considering he has absolutely zero talent as an actor to begin with? If Shia likes his 360 more than anything else, than I do believe I'll stay the f*** away from whatever he's playing and stick to this generation's clear winner and best console for tried and true, old-school loving gamers.

Shia sounds like another FPS-obsessed tool.

I didn't mind him in Indy, haven't seen Transformers myself.
Personally i could care less what he thinks about me, he's probably one of the people going gaga over Natal after dissing motion control

He's an ok actor at best. You could argue he's "amateurish" in his trade compared to the real top perfrmers (lol).

I'm glad an isolationist, closed minded, non-appreciative gamer has dissed the Wii. It endorses it further. Enjoy you first person shooters "Shia" (is that French or Persian btw!?)

...Aren't there any stories more interesting and important than this that you could be posting right now?

@ TwilightV
Like how Shia LaBeouf Jewish?

You have a stupid name, and haven't acted in anything I give a damn about, nothing you say has any merit.
nyah-nyah-nyah

I only watch him in Transformers because I like Transformers - if he wasn't in it, i wouldn't be going "oh, this movie would be better if Shia was the main character"

I dont care about what LaDouche thinks of me because i like a console, i and i think hes a horrible actor, so i dont care.

This is how in a simple way you can find out if someone has a good movie taste or not. Ask them if they like Shia LaBeouf. If they say yes, get the f*** out of there.

i could care less what he thinks. thought it is funny how he does his best to prove he's such a hardcore gamer

I wouldnt care about it if he just said he is not into it, but to act like an immature fanboy by dissing Wii owners, only slims his fanbase.

This will just seem like a bitter retaliation but honestly, I saw Transformers at the cinema last night and it was one of the worst films I've ever paid to see.
I can't believe how cheesy and clichéd it was. I had to go to the toilet half-way through which I normally try to avoid, but last night I didn't want to go back in! Last time I failed to enjoy a film that much was when I went to see Peter Jackson's King Kong.

I bet the N64 was his first Nintendo system. Anybody who started out with that probably would turn into a Sony fanboy. By then Nintendo was losing ground and Sony's PS1 was getting more popular. I do like a few Sony games but I'll always be more of a fan of the big N. You don't have to be into the newest technology to be hardcore. You just have to love videogames.

I don't care if he likes the Wii or not -- diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks and all that -- but that's a surprisingly, well, blunt way of wording it on his part. Wonder what inspired the cussing on his part. You know, what bad gaming experience did he have with it?

Speaking of him as an actor, so far, I've seen him in Surf's Up, Transformers, Indy 4 and Eagle Eye. He's not BAD, but... he keeps playing the same character over and over -- the brash hoodlum-wannabe type who has something to prove. Needs to expand his range more.

Too less argumetation in his sayings. I he says he hates the Wii because of too much non-gamers or too bad graphics, okay. But throwing all Wii-owners (no, not only fanboys, not only gamers, but just owning one is a crime for him), makes him just another fundamentalistic fanboy, who made a big mistake, because many of his fans, who play Wii, won't buy the Transformers game anymore.

You should watch out what you're saying in public, especially with fanboys. Just ask John Lenon.

@Incognito D "This will just seem like a bitter retaliation but honestly, I saw Transformers at the cinema last night and it was one of the worst films I've ever paid to see." Replace "cinema" with "DVD" and "last night" with "some horrible day" and the same happened to me.

@ Corbie: Oh, you.

"To be fair" , I think he was just trying to be funny....but failing miserably...

He should be more concerned about the reviews in Europe that Transformers 2 the movie is getting. Its been commonly described as "one of the worst movies of all time"....seriously!

Besides, he sounds like another sweaty palmed isolationist who hasn't really tries a Wii properly. I doubt he'd be able to master some of the real high skill level games on the Wii IMHO. ;-p

Oh and I'd rather listen to these guys' opinions on the Wii who are less "famous" than ol' Shia. I think an active athelete's opinion would carry more weight:

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=9642

the transformers video game sucks on every console... but on PS360 it has nice graphics. video games of movies sucks in general...

Like I'd listen to what that t*** says. Between him and that gimp Bay, they destroyed one of my favourite childhood franchises, by making it dumb, like them.

Bless him, he actually thinks he's acting when he's jumping and running around dodging imaginary robot's. Personally I disliked him long ago, but that new bit of info means he is now on 'the list'.

News Flash Mutt Williams! You ruin every movie you are in!! I hope Spielberg adds your face in the next Boom Blox game!!!

The thing is, he may not like the Wii, but hardly anyone likes him. He gets what he gives. He's an awful actor.

I though it wasn't possible for me to think any lower of him, but he just managed to prove otherwise.

For someone that's never had the "Wii experience," he sure does hate the console a lot. It's nice to know that he doesn't have any REAL justification for his hatred. Typical actor; he talks a lot, but he really doesn't say much.

Shia is a boy??

I've never been a big fan of his and I think Transformers wouldn't have been any worse without him (or his character for that matter) I also agree with Machu on his opinion of the butchering of Transformers. The rest of his films seem to have been fairly well received (except his early stuff - Monkey Business and The Christmas Path) but overall I'd say he's a largely forgettable actor and tends to ride on films that are recognised for better reason.

No doubt his PR gurus were sniggering their asses off at his comments but hey, if the guy doesn't like Wii that's fine. Maybe he broke his hand when he realized that yet again people are just so much more interested in every other aspect of a film rather than him.

Transformers - sucked
Indy 4 - sucked
Eagle Eye - sucked
Disney's Even Steven (tv show) - sucked
Transformers 2 - on it's way to sucktude

What a body of work there a$$......

Well he at least has one thing going for him, he is not in the G.I. Joe movie.

I think actors need to learn that most people really don't care what they think. They need to learn to just do and say what the script tells you to do and then shut up. If I want an opinion I'll ask an expert, not a celebrity.

Sorry, he just cursed at my hobby. Hey Shia! I was going to see your movie, but not now. I might even just watch YouTube snippets and write a review and ruin your career. I wish...

He hasn't got a clue about gaming. He has a PS3 and a 360? that's 2 consoles that are basically the same! Bit dumb that! I have a PS3 and a Wii so I have the best of all worlds. Any gamer who doesn't open his mind to Wii is missing out big time.

People who hate on the Wii always says that the only way to play it is to do big ass gestures, but seriously if you are playing it as a normal person you don't need big movements (in most games). But I guess it's easy to hate on it, and as I hate his acting skills there's no big change here.

RED RINGS OF DEATH ,PAYING FOR ONLINE AND WHICH ONE SOLD DOUBLE OF WHICH CONSOLE OOOOOOHHHHHHHH OWNED but seriously PS3 are OK

Hey, at least Nintendo can now use this guys picture with this statement to calibrate the "Wii Vitality Sensor" when it comes out. You know, to get the high stress levels

Well said! It's easy to get offended and angry with sh*t like this but it's waste of time IMO.
(I hope no one get's offended by this post)

I won't lie, I like the 360 and PS3 better but the Wii is an amateur console? This guy is a moron. And most people I know who own the Wii also have a 360 or PS3 and have been gaming for a long time, starting on the NES or before, and could probably beat the crap out of this loser in any game.

And in defense of Wii-only owners, I'm sure most of them are a lot better gamers than this jerkoff is an actor.

sigh
I'm not going to trash Shia LaBeouf because he has an opinion that is different than mine (I think the Wii is a fine console for pretty much anyone) but it's so depressing to see this elitist attitude show up again and again from self-proclaimed "gamers".
Amateur console? Sure, the Wii is more accessible than PS3 or 360... but that doesn't mean you can't find good games for the system. Preferring one doesn't mean you have to rag on the other option.

I totally agree with Gamer83...

Well, I guess I'm never going to be playing video games with Shia LaBeouf, then. Oh well. Not that disappointing.

Wait wait wait... Before, I wasn't going to say anything negative... but now I found out more of the story...

BD: Is that why you wouldn't play LEGO Star Wars with Megan Fox on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?
SL: Correct. Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars. I'd rather eat glass.

So he's enough of a fanboy that he'd rather "eat glass" than hang out and play games with Megan Fox? Before it was just being a silly fanboy. Now, it's being a complete tool.

Oh my god........so much rant is built up inside me right now but i just don't have the energy. I will leave it at this, this douche bag is a COMPLETE idiot. He sucks as an actor and he has a stupid name. You wanna talk about an annoying fan base of people? How about people like this douche bag who follow 360 and/or PS3! Go back to playing your precious Halo 3, or whatever it is you people play, and leave the wii and it's followers alone. Seriously, it's one thing to attack a console, but to attack the people who play it? Especially when you are an actor that wants fans! Ok, i'm done.

Wow, what a douche!

Well, at least he doesn't shia-way from a good flame war.

I agree with comments 2 and 10. Some amatuer actor calling the wii an amatuer console. Lmao.

Um... guys. He's a famous actor who has a particular taste in video games. Apparently, he's also a bit of a fanboy who has a limited view on gaming. This is not rare or unusual, nor does it reflect on his job as an actor. Why are people so insecure on this board?

I like Shia as an actor, but he's young and does and says immature things. Just like most of us here.

meh i f he doesn't like it, that's his life.
I dunno why but I always think that when a celebrity talks about videogames they just say what the intended demographic wants to hear. I bet that the marketing group found that the majority of Transformers fans are xbox/ps3 gamers that hate the wii and told him to say something like that.
Not that I like the guy. His presence in Indy 4 was idiotic and Transformers is the worst movie of the decade along Snakes on a plane.

shut up kids, he gets to kiss megan fox everytime they do a Transformers movie, he can say whatever the f... he wants, even if he ends up as an ignorant when it comes to video games

Well, his fondest game memory was with Mario Kart, so it's not like he's the sort of fanboy dissing Nintendo entirely.

He is a fool and a traitor. I think the Transformers Wii game needs to be boycott.

Speaking of amateurs...I can't remember seeing that LeBeaf-guy in any film. He's nobody to me, and seem he'll stay that way.

OK OK, this really angers me on SOOOO many levels. I had to personally make an account just to post this. First and foremost, I HATE Shia LeBeouf and I'm angry that he's the star of a good movie like Transformers. I hate that he was in Indy Jones etc. etc. He ruins movies for me. Also in interviews he thinks he's a big deal and he's the kind of guy that I just want to PUNCH in the face. Aside from that I own a Wii, a PS3 and an XBOX 360. All are different, I don't even use the 360 anymore since I found the PS3 was better (like the games, graphics and free online play). So between my PS3 and the Wii, I play the Wii 10 times as much and have more fun. The only games I play for PS3 are NHL 09 (competitive with friends) and Little Big Planet (fun with the gf). But Wii is just full of fun in every game and you can play with friends and have good laughs....So maybe Shia LaDouche does not have any friends to play with poor guy. Maybe he should get his attitude checked...ps I HATE Shia LaDouche....GAWD I don't want to see that face in another movie...he angers me!

Good Day

Who the hell gives a f**k what any actor has to say about the state of videogames? Some of you are taking this way too seriously.

heh does he not like razors either grow a decent beard or shave mate

No one has to love the Wii, but did he ever give it a chance?

Aaaaaand WHY should we care?

Who cares what that loser has to say. He is a crappy actor with a girls name.

he is a drunken driver...
do I need to say more?

Who cares? I'm not directly moved by any idiot with teenagers facial hair and driving habits, who's flaming any of my consoles while not understanding what gaming is. BUT! Somebody seems to care as this(and MANY others of similar kind lately) "newsflash" is lobbed all over the world.

"I wonder if the makers of the Wii Transformers game like the ringing endorsement?"

I doubt they care. They probably didn't want to do a Wii Transformers game in the 1st place.

What a douche! Just cause we like to play games on the Wii doesn't make us "non-gamers!" I have a PS2, had a Dreamcast, and GC, and plan on getting a PS3. I also have a lot of PC games, so I guess I am a non-gamer cause I have a Wii!

Edit: forgot I had SNES as well!

This guy probably lives under a rock! The Wii ain't an amatuer console! Has he ever played Super Mario Galaxy? Also i have a Wii and PS3 And i think both of them are Super Sweet

2 words:
Wiiness envy

Sheesh, what is with you guys? All he did was say something negative about the Wii. There's no need to insult him.

Maybe he thinks we're a bunch of raving lunatics.

Judging from the comments here, he'd be right.

Well I could not be happier after reading his words. This guy have big issues with alcohol and with his mother so its the last person on Earth that I would chose as example of good manners. About the mother issues here some words from him in a interview from the magazine Playboy the question was Who he thinks is the sexiest woman this is his answer: ”Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother. She’s an ethereal angel. Nobody looks like that woman. If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds.” No comments. Also the reason why some people got upset with his words if he not giving his personal opinion about Nintendo he is making fun of the Wii players and Im not playing Nintendo from the last 20 years to receive lectures from some dude who want to sleep with his mother.

I disliked him long before he made this idiotic statement. Now I have one more reason hate him plus I never had any respect for him to begin with. I wasn't going to see the crappy Transformers sequel anyway; the first one sucked and I'm sure this one is even worse.

I like him fine in movies and I don't care if he doesn't like the Wii. But since he hasn't played the game on it, or maybe ever tried the Wii, he shouldn't dis it.

I have a PC for playing games the Wii for having some fun on the side and for Wii Fit.

Shia LaBeouf, who played the incredibly immature and so not funny preteen Louis Stevens on the Disney Channel original series Even Stevens, is calling the Wii an amateur console?! There's some irony and maybe even some hypocrisy.

I don't like Shia! He sucks.

just for that im going to by revenge of the fallen on the wii lol

Shia sucks acting-wise and every-other-way-wise. Anyway, OK, fine, you don't like the Wii whatever! I don't care! But when you curse at us and say you'd rather eat glass than play the Wii version of Lego Star Wars. You've crossed the line. I don't know about any of you but the 360/PS3 version don't exactly use the extra power. All you get on the 360/PS3 are FPSs that are carbon copies of their prequels.

Isn’t it nice that the western world was substituted worshiping royalty with actors?

I think this is overrated that he's insulted the Wii. His loss.

I can understand if he enjoys another system over the Wii. Sometimes its just a persons preference. However do we need the insults? No we don't! It just shows his immaturity.

Why did he have to throw Lego Star Wars under the bus? That's a fun game.

I agree about name-calling. If you have a negative opinion about a game or console or company, keep it to that. never attack a person for a personal like. Shia went to far by insulting people's personal opinions. "eat glass"? run from megan fox & playing a video game? just strange. I agree I don't like his acting skills, or lack thereof. transformers & Indy Crystal Skull had a hollow void because of him. his personality/characters comes off as, "life is hard, everyone owes me big time because I'm better then you, but I shouldn't have to work to get anything," as if the movie should revolve around him/his "character." forget Harrison Ford, forget Transformers, forget story/plot, this is about SHIA! he did so bad, I hoped his character would be maimed or killed & focus on the military guys.
the only other actor who can suck a decent/good movie to depths of dullness is Christian Bale. he was the only bad part of Batman dark knight. everytime he was on screen, I wanted to scream. he can't stage fight worth a crap (hence wild camera angles) & has as much personality as a corpse, though a good-looking one. I predict that Bale will suck the life from Terminator as well.

Shea's cheque from Microsoft is in the post - mission accomplished -

@ The Fox: the problem is that he has insulted over 50 million people in his comment and should think before acting like a tool, which is the only way he can actually act.

What an asshole. I never liked him as an actor and now I don't like him as a person.

This is proof that Actor's are only good for acting.

"This is proof that Actor's are only good for acting."

And not always for that either...

I really dont care what he say. He's an ok actor, but an actor n not a gamer. We like the Wii n thats that. But dissing Wii owners is a little too far.

As per usual, Nintendo will probably pay him to eat his words by the end of the week.
Or he'll read all the negativity, and apologise of his own accord.
Or both.

Anyway, this man needs to play No More Heroes and MadWorld. Probably The Conduit too. Okami and Metroid Prime Trilogy would also fit relatively well there.

Jeez folks, chill out. So he slammed the Wii. His loss, big deal. Most of you are reacting like he just set fire to your family. I actually quite like the guy as an actor, though I don't agree with his opinion...but it's his opinion. He's entitled to have it just as much as those people who say "If it's not by Nintendo it's not worth playing"...which is equally as ignorant a statement.

yeah, big deal. I don't care for his acting myself either, and he sounds a little immature to answer any interview question in that manner. His loss.
I can't exactly fault him for not feeling the Transformers Wii game, though, it was almost as bad as the movie. Could have been cool if it didn't have the weird camera issue. Same with the movie in fact. Bad editing/pacing, but then thats always the downfall of the hack that is Michael Bay.

who cares, hes just a greasy dirtball that plays in crappy summer movies. yes transformers sucked and shia le douche has the personality of an empty black space of nothing

Don't take it so hard, guys. Remember, he starred in The Cystal Skull and Transformers.

Also, why are my gaming skills so pathetic?

What an ass. I should of figured he be some Sony/MS fanboy. Oh well. I'll start caring about his opinion when he gains the ability to act.

@TeMPO

He actually did burn my family

Anyone think he's going to end up making a public apology? I'd like to see a Wii owner kick his a** in a contest of game skills. It'd be hilarious.

Didn't play the Wii version because his hand was broken? But he played the other systems. ok. Was that before or after he "broke his hand"?

He was definately being a di**.....and a douche. As someone else said.

This coming from the idiot that ruined the Transformers movie for me. That movie should have just been called "what the no talent hack did while all the cool stuff was happening".

I have no problem with people not liking the Wii but he certainly acted pretty childish and he could of acted in a more respectful way. You don't like the Wii then that is fine but to act like a jerk is not the way to behave. The guy acted like a five year old throwing a tantrum.

@Kid_A
Man, what are the odds in that? I sat pondering for ages during that post..."hmmm, should I say burned your family or shat in your mother's cereal". Looks like I picked the wrong example yet again. Damn you, law of averages.

So, Shia LaBeouf hates the Wii. My response? "Who the crap is Shia LaBeouf and why should I care?"

That article made me chuckle. I know quotes can sometimes be taken out of context during interviews, but if that statement is true it's not a great way to gain favour in the eyes of the people who've just employed you to star in a film that's just been released, or the people who just paid top dollar for the licence to produce a game for that film.

Regarding the 'amateur console' statement ... Dissing a majority of fans (or potential fans)? Way to go! What a great way to alienate over 50% of potential game purchasers. XD I've been gaming for over 25 years but I own a Wii. I must be a casual, amateurish gamer.

I used to like this guy.

@Sinclair User- "I must be a casual amateurish gamer.

I know! I've been playing games just as long. This guy's a fool.

Edit- I just read that he said" I'm a gamer. Not like those fake ones you read about." This guy "THINKS" he's cool.

I think its quite funny Yeh, he's wrong in some ways, but the fact it was so unexpected is brilliant.

He has some points but...
Yeah he's totally wrong.
WII RULEZ

Hey, he's entitled to his opinion. It doesn't make me like my Wii any less so I don't see what the fuss is about.

I think statements without argumentation are not opinions at all, but merely prejudice and bias. When celebs(or some coompany behind them) use their influence to drive some cause, I become cautious.

@Varoennauraa- "prejudice and bias"
Yep. Agreed

He's a crappy actor and a xbox 360 fanboy and prob mainly a FPS player. I remember him playing an xbox 360 shooter in Disturbia.

The kid is an a**. He said some really dumb things recently. Wait...no, he's always said dumb things.

well the wii does have a lot of cr@p games on it so i dont really blame him but hes never played brawl, metriod prime 3, or twlight princess then

the wii has LOTS of potential, but I don't think nintendo really adresses that.

What's this guys problem? Did a Wii walk in his house and mug him or something.

@Paper- Mario 128 -lol! I like that.

Why does he think the fun classic games (true hardcore games) are for amateurs? I say we teach him a lesson! gets out crowbar

Just for that i'm not watching transformers II! What a bitch!

"BD: Is that why you wouldn't play LEGO Star Wars with Megan Fox on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?
SL: Correct. Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars. I'd rather eat glass."

Well I would also want to do something else with Megan Fox, so he is on the right track here. Although I would play anything with her...

back when shia was younger, he was a pretty good actor! and now, i don't really like him. As long as he is continuing to act in movies, i'll be cool with that. also, when i've read this, i wasn't surprised. has any1 watched that 1 youtube video about Alex Pardee "broke" into his house? now that was pretty funny! ( it was just staged after all) and he's friend's w/ him. let's hope that his future will get brighter someday..

Wow. SHIA LeBOUF said that? Now I really feel sh*tty about myself.

If my name was Shia LeBouf, I'd insult anything and everything.

Shia LaBeouf = douche bag

What's it matter if he's famous or not, he has no valid arguments, only blind disrespect. I hadn't even heard of the guy until today, reading this.

el oh el.
Okay, honestly, who really cares about Shia's opinion? People give far too much gravity to everything celebrities say, think and do. This shouldn't logically have any more impact than if I were to say the same thing. Perhaps less.

And, @WoRMaSTeR: HEAR, HEAR!

Shia plays Mario Kart drunk.

If Shia's such a 'hardcore gamer' I would love to meet him on the playstation network. Any game any time.

god i hate people who think they are any more gamer then anyone else, especially when they hate on the wii like this, i now have no respect for Shia labeouf

Man. I never thought he would say something like that. Oh well @*%# him.
