I saw it by accident...

Why are my parents punishing me?

I need to tell them I'm not interested in it, no sense in them wasting $400 on something I'm not going to use. I have a 360 and spend a lot of time on it.

Unless you guys can convince me it is a good system, but really the only game I am interested in is SMG.

If your folks don't know you know about the Wii do this. Go around and say, "boy, I wish I had an Xbox360. A Wii doesn't look that fun to me," really loud. Maybe they'll send it back. If not, I hope you don't act like a jerk about it.

I have a 360, that's why I don't want a Wii. I don't want them to spend $400 on me..all I asked for was some 360 games and clothes. It sucks because the Wii is sold out all around here soo I know it must have been hard to find, but I just don't think I'd use it that much.

Do whatever you want. Quite frankly none of us care if you keep it or not.

Sorry, I didn't read your first post closely enough. You'll have to be a good sport, maybe they won't feel bad if you try to resell it.

It's obvious your not a big Nintendo fan or you wouldn't have to be "convinced" to keep it. You should know by now what Nintendo is going to offer on it's consoles. Other than Super Mario Galaxy, there is Metroid Prime 3, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, Mario Kart(upcoming) and Smash Bros Brawl(upcoming). There will obviously be a new Star Fox, Kirby and Animal Crossing and there may be another Zelda come out. There was 2 on N64, and two on Gamecube.

These reasons alone should make you plenty "convinced". Besides, there have been a few good 3rd party titles, not many, but some of them are great. Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Zak and Wiki, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Elebits and before the mini game rush there was Rayman that actually consisted of some great mini games. I would say that the Wii has had a pretty good first year and you are lucky to have one. Im sure 2008 will be filled with some great suprises and possibly online voice chat that will make Nintendo's online games more fun, for some people anyway.

Also, if you played games before the mainstream audience got ahold of them, the Virtual Console has plenty of amazing games to purchase including AAA hits like Ocarina Of Time, Super Mario Bros 1,2 and 3, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64. Overall, the Wii has a great library for it's first year and looks to be heading into 2008 with a bang. If you enjoy gaming, than you'll enjoy the Wii.

I love my Wii and I think it's a really good system. But if you don't like it, just tell your parents the truth when you open it. "I really appreciate you guys getting me this, but I honestly don't think I would play it that much. I really don't want you guys spending that much money on me, when it's for something I wouldn't truely enjoy."

If you dont appreciate your parents generous present that prolly took em forever to find then tell em to trade it back in so someone who actually wants it can get one, or a loser ebay seller looking for an extra grand like a greedy as*hole. I am not your information booth and niether are the Wii forum people. So if you want convinced go do the research like everyone else and stop wasting peoples time.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is AMAZING, especially if you're big on multiplayer games. One of the best things about the Wii is that it's far more interactive than any previous system. But at the same time, it requires better hand-eye coordination and some games will actually tire you out (M&S included). If you're a "button masher" type of game player, you might not like it so much. But I would definitely say to at least try it out, unless you've already had the chance to play it and you definitely don't like it. I agree with the previous poster who said to tell your parents the truth when you open it; if it turns out that they can't return it for whatever reason, try selling it on eBay because you'll probably get more for it on there.

If you really need our convincing at this point you need serious help. Here's some convincing for you: Sell it to someone who will play it and go back to your Xbox.

wow.. if you have a 360 already i don't see why u wouldn't want the wii. i'm planning to get the wii after i get the 360 for xmas. i think it complements the 360 cause it has some interesting games and it's another new kind of fun. switching between both should be sweet. give it a try.

Just tell them.

You annoyed me by writing this.

There are so many parents who have been killing for a Wii (Well i hope they haven't really), and you have no intrest in it. C'mon!

I'm sure you will like it once you get it.

Sell it on ebay. I guarantee you you will make even more x-mas money from it, especially since desperation is magnified ten fold by the fact that one- Its close to Christmas ( even if its after) and two- Its close to the new Year. Just sell it on ebay. I'm not joking.

Won't you atleast give it a try? There are loads of people out there who really want a Wii and you should be grateful that your parents are going to give you another console for Christmas. Do a bit of research and try to find games that interest you on the Wii. Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Guitar Hero 3, Twilight Princess and Trauma Center are really good games and I heard Zack and Wiki, Galaxy and Battalion Wars are also great games. Just try it and enjoy the great games it has to offer. If you really don't want it then you should just tell your parents the truth but if my parents gave me another console fo Christmas, I would be very thankful. Hopefully, you make the right decision in the end. Don't throw away a great console
