Get the games you want plus I haven't played a shooter that has made me feel more mature.

Anyone who refuses to buy a game because it's "childish" is childish themselves.Rocky32189

Well said. Games are meant for fun and playability. Who cares if it looks 'childish'? It's all about how much fun and how much you enjoy playing.

I agree if you cant get past blood and gore and guns in your games, you may have some problems. Also simply because a game doesnt feature beating prostitutes with baseball bats doesnt make it childish for future reference.

Get the Resident Evil games for the Wii. That will solve your shooter cravings for a while.

Anyway, dont not buy games like Galaxy and SSBB just cause they look "kiddie". I buy games to have fun, not pretend to be more mature.

We all are probaly wasting our time here, I doubt this guy will come back and this topic will probaly be closed. But the point is let him not buy things like...oh the Game of the Year Mario Galaxy or Zack & Wiki because they dont make him feel like a big man.

RE4 should be pretty good for you

are you serious?

if you seem like someone that likes indepth storys and fun games for everyone around when your having a party GET IT.

i dont have one but im saving up all i can get for one and i tried a few games out at my friends house and you just get sucked into them cuz your getting into throwing your body every which way yakno its so fun. sometimes i regret buying a 360 instead of a wii

Well, that's true to a degree. Family-friendly is different from childish.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't come back. Come on guys, personal taste is just that. Now I agree that there are some games that feel more mature (eg: aren't cartoony in nature.) available, but there are some games that are. SMG, an all around good game, is still cartoony in nature. That simply does not appeal to some people. It doesn't make them worse for it. It's just difference in taste. No need to practically assault them.:?

For me, I like realism in some things (such as the afore mentioned Fight Night. For me, personally, I want something with more realism in my sports games since they are emulating real sports) and I'm not alone.

As for recomendations, I didn't feel as though Metroidfelt childish (for the record, Mario, imo sort of is. I still enjoy it, but it falls into that classification for me). Zelda has some darker moments too, adding some sense of maturity to it, or so I felt. Also, there's Call of Duty, Manhunt 2, Resident Evil, and Madden for a less toned down feel.

Metroid Prime 3:Corruption

Resident Evil 4

Manhunt

Resident Evil:Ummbrella Chronicles

Zelda:Twilight Princess

Soulcalibur Legends

and that's just the exclusive games that aren't for the kiddies.........these are also worth getting:

Super Mario Galaxy

Nights:Journey Of Dreams

Super Paper Mario

Mario Party 8

Sonic and the Secret Rings

SSX Blur

Warioware:Smooth Moves

Mercury Meltdown Revolution

Ghost Squad

Link's Crossbow Training

That's not all of my Wii games, but they are the ones I play the most. Have to admit I play 360 way more, but Wii is good too.

I believe the more "mature" titles have been mentioned already. Anyway, another recommendation: Zack & Wiki. If you just look at the cover, you'll think it's kiddy. Answer? No. It's a point-and-click-adventure that will make you think quite a bit. I'm on the first few levels and I've figured that out. Also, yeah, go for the firs-party titles.

This post should be in a forum that is anti-Wii, which means not this one.

You are only going to get people here that are going to defend the Wii.

Get the Wii and get over it.

I couldn't have said it any better myself!

That's the worst logic i've heard in ages. It's like saying people who don't ride tricycles are childish, and people who don't watch cartoons are childish. Watching cartoons may not immediately qualify you as being childish, so why should not watching cartoons make you childish? Has playing too many childish games made you think like one?

Let's not get carried away ;)

i would say samething at first

but now that manhunt is out and no more heroes

the system seems varied enough, while system like xbox is more just about 'kill,kill,kill'

and its not varried, sure best shooters might be on xbox, best rpg on ps3, but overall best collection would be on wii

and this can only proven by having game like warioware and manhunt on the same system!!

Can't argue with that. I have a Wii for Nintendo exclusives like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. Most other games I'll just be getting on my 360. If I only had a Wii, I'd probably feel left in the dark...but you can blame Nintendo for making it so weak.

There are many games that aren't for kids. Like RE4, The Godfather, Manhunt 2, and many others.Thiago26792

this guy is an idiot. apparently he doesnt do research on games and platforms. if he did he would know that the wii isnt just a fuc**** party machine. the only multiplayer game i have on my wii is wii sports and smg (which doesnt even qualify as a true multi-player experience imo) the rest are first or third person shooters that only require that "I" and I alone progress the game and not a group of people. look at the wii's library before you go offsaying that the games seem to childish(because not all of them are). the wii can easily accomodate solo player action on a more mature atmosphere.

and thats not wii defense, thats just the facts yo!!!

Only a few games are childish. Here are some good ones.

Metroid Prime 3

No More Heroes

Guitar Hero 3

The Godfather

Scarface

Endless Ocean

There are MANY great games for the Wii. Just because a game may look childish game doesn't mean it's awesome. Take Super Mario Galaxy for example.

Sounds like you might not want to invest in a Wii.

everybody is getting a little too worked up over this. i didnt insult your wiis guys. take it easy.

i already have a 360. i pretty much just want a party machine as someone mentioned.. whats wrong with that?

It's because it's not only a party machine. Wii also has "hardcore" games. I have 16 Wii games on my wishlist and there's 0 party games maybe just Super Smash Bros Brawl or Mario Kart if you can say they are "party" games.

People are forgetting what makes Wii different aside from controls. It offers all the mainstream matuer / adult games like the 360 and PS3 + games like Zelda and Metroid. Also with exclusives like Medal of Honour: Heroes 2. But there is also a family friendly component to it as well. Get this right, 360 line up = Wii line up (on basic terms) but after that you add the nintendo 1st party titles (both "kiddie" and "hardcore") + some 3rd party exclusives. Then you add how Wii makes games feel more alive and interesting so + control scheme. Remeber there all HEAPS of 1st party titles. So in the end Wii = FTW.

This family friendly / "Childish" sterotype givin to the Wii is false as it is only a component or part or it. Its an extra, so consider it more value for money. All the mainsteam matuer / "hardcore" games are still here.
