Getting disappointed in Wii

Starting to regret the whole Wii thing. The problem is the games suck and the system is overall pretty weak. The wiimote is the only saving grace.

Resident Evil 4 highest rated game...I played it on my PC 2 years ago.

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles...A rails shooter...are you kidding me? Booooring unless you get that into the RE mythos and want to know more of the story, which I understand.

Legend of Zelda for the GC was a much better game and looked gorgeous and original in all it's cell-shaded glory. I'll blame the fanboys for this one for threatening suicide enmasse unless the graphics went back to same ol' same ol' like every other game.

Metroid 3 is not a next-generation game. Fire it up next to the the first GC title and yes, there are more polygons. But don't give this 'impressive visuals' the Wii can handle when I just finished playing BioShock on my PC. Those are impressive visuals.

The strongest point of the Wii is arguable playing with friends...Then why are we still stuck on Wii Sports? Because you guys can't make a good party game anymore to save your lives...Quality Assurance used to mean something at Nintendo...Now they let half-baked releases like Carnival Games or Brunswick Bowling destroy the only thing that is good about the Wii, the controls. Seriously, how do you screw up a bowling game so bad when the Wii Sports bowling is as great as it is?

The most depressing thing is I look down the pipeline and there is nothing outside of Super Mario Galaxy (which I already have on pre-order) I'm sick of seeing XBox 360 and PS3 release new franchises and lock up third-party developers. Nintendo for it's part created a false sense of demand for the Wii by severely limiting the hardware...I couldn't get my hands on a Wii until June and had been looking since launch. Ridiculous stock-holder demand is screwing this company into worrying about their financial quarters instead of doing what made the GC, SuperNes, NES oh so damn good and that is the games.

I'm not talking variety I'm talking quality. Variety and quirkiness has just always been one of Nintendo's hallmarks. The thing that perplexes me is the DS continues to get these great games. Why? Perhaps it has something to do with the millions of DS owners where they can release a Kate & Ashley Save The World and move significant units.

I posted about a month ago asking a question about "What is the best party game to get to play with my parents/friends?"

Nobody could respond, and if they did, they said stick with Wii Sports because everything else is a disappointment. That depressed me, as I've never heard Nintendo and sub-quality like that in the same sentence before.

GC had a wide vareity of games in its first year of production?dotWithShoes

ok then, the GC had a wide selection of quality party games in its first year of existance?

Has there ever been a video game that got your parents involved? I know I haven't come across one. Wii Sports, RRR, and Wario Ware (which I have yet to play) are probably your best bet.

Okay fine, you guys got me. Perhaps I'm just being impatient, and no I would NEVER sell my Wii or go the 360 or PS3 route. PCs blow away the 360 and PS3 from any conceivable argument, price, modding, graphics, community...

I guess I'm just mostly disappointed in the lack of a great party game ATM, and as long as I knew they were coming I'd be alot happier. Nintendo has never let me down before, so I'll just have to preach patience to myself...

Awesome, thanks for the advice.

It's only been out for a year. If you're that dissapointed in it, stick with PC gaming and sell the Wii.

There are many games coming out soon, you're not interested in anything but Galaxy then. You're not even interested in Brawl. You're better off selling it.

Saying that LoZ:WW is better than LoZ:TP is an opinion. :] I disagree.

If you want impressive visuals, you should've known way beforehand the Wii wasn't for you.

Maybe its because the ds has been out for almost 3 years and the wii is just now entering its 11th month...maybe thats why.

All you think is from as a PC gamer's view. This is your problem not the console. Wii's had been there for almost 1 year. Did you play on Resident Evil 4 on Wii? Did you play on Metroid Prime 3?

You think there's only Mario this year. There's NiGHTS, Zack & Wiki (a new franchise), Medal of Honors, Battalion Wars 2 in 2007. In 2008, there's Mushroom Men (a new franchise), Tales of Symphonia, King Story (a new franchise), Civilization,...

I'm also a PC gamer and I don't think as a PC gamer when I play on Wii.

I still dont see why graphics make a game. Anyways sell it and get a 360 or PS3 if it makes you happy1up7

I agree totally. I love gettin my wife into MP8 or Wii sports. She enjoys it as much as i do.
