Do you ever regret buying a Wii game? You only bought it becuase of the hype or people on the board told you it is AMAZING!

I know I have and for now one I only buy games that I have done enough research on to know that I will absolutly like it.

The game i regret buying is ...... MLB Power Pros, I got it for 15$ and I though "ah what the heck, I guess I guess I should get it." Well thats 15$ I'll never get back!

How about you?

Nope, Ive managed to squeeze at least some level of enjoyment out of every Wii game that I own, including stuff like Red Steel, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Big Brain Academy and MySims.

I dont know, Im not really fussy.

iron-man wii, thought was open world, still wasn't bad but it was pretty short and not much replay value should have just rented it and beat it quick

Why all the hate for NMH? I thought it was really good.

So far none for the Wii, but I got Super Monkey Ball Adventure for the PS2 for christmas one year. I can't stand that game.

I regret buying SSBB. The online sucks, and I was expecting quality.

And I'm not even dissatisfied with Red Steel...

Red Steel is no where near as bad as every one makes it seam like it is; it is a half descent game.

I usually never regret the games I buy, but Super monkey ball BB is really boring, even for a few dollars

How can you put super paper mario on this list? :S :P

Alone in the Dark, MP3, and Mario Party 8.

I thought Super Paper Mario was excellent.

SPM- a glitch occurred in the middle of the game forcing me to star over. i didn't like it enough to do thatMP3- No my kind of game. The combat sucked and the levels felt dead. Bad story. Not a good shooter or adventure game imo.

Yeah, super monkey ball bb and PES 2008. Monkey ball was frustrating and I learned that I wasn't a fan of soccer games after I bought PES.

I regret buying Mario Kart Wii. I got suckered in because I used to have fun with this game when I was a kid. Now I realize that Mario spinoff games are nothing to get excited about. I should've bought Burnout Paradise instead.

Since it didn't have cel-shading graphics, I expected it to be more like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, but I was dissapointed.

i regret paying full price for medal of honor: heroes 2, but i wanted a game that used wifi. its a been-there-done-that fps, but the wii doesn't offer much in multiplayer department. if only they added a some kind of online capability to metroid, would have destroyed MOH.

i've gotten more wifi games since then and nowadays i play mario kart or dr mario. i'm planning to put MOH on ebay soon.

Use friends codes.

On topic: Sonic and the Secret Rings, it wasn't just a waste of money on the game itself, it was a waste of gas driving to the store, waste of energy opening the package, and waste of electricity running the console to play it, and about 4 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

Brawl and Twilight Princess; I bought both full price only to find they weren't my kind of games. Brawl is to focused on the online play which I could never find a game and I never have friends over anyways and Twilight Princess I just wasn't fond of the controls and story. I took them back to the store for store credit and got both fire emblems. Don't regret those purchases at all.
