I am contemplating on buying a Wii. I have played my Brother's and it is extremely fun. However, I have looked over the games and they seem soo childish. My question is this, is the wii ever going to come up with games that will be refered to as "hardcore"? I love first person shooters, RPGs with amazing graphics, but I really love the wii mote and nunchuck. I want to know if I can expect any games that fit this persona, of if the wii is lost.

What?... if your asking if the wii has any "hardcore games." then yes they do have em. and if you are looking for games that are "Hardcore" then scroll up towards the top of the the forum to the recommendation thread.

the wii is far from lost..

i have to admit i did buy one close to launch and sold it not long after, just wasnt anything out that really grabbed me.. recently got one again though and i have to say im absolutely loving it.

no more heroes, metroid prime 3, resident evil umbrella chronicles have all taken up my time

not forgetting the fact it is completely backwards compatible with all the great cube games

there's a lot of hardcore stuff that people ignore because they wanna complain about something

there's RPG's coming out, like fragile, TOS, and others (I don't really follow RPG's, but I do buy them)

there's FPS's like COD5, and the conduit (both coming out soon), metroid prime 3, and medal of honour heroes 2.

There's also pointlessly bviolent games out there, like the american version of no more heroes, (I'm UK andkinda like it's toned down violence), Manhunt 2 and madworld.

Then there's just plain good fun games that may seem childish, like mario galaxy, super smash bros brawl, mario kart, wii sports.

I don't really get why people would call any of these "casual" except wii sports, since most of them are leaving a large amount of space for "perfection", actually the more "casual" the games are in this lineup the more they seem to have to do with your ability... maybe gamers are getting lazier

I agree with GCN-beats-PS2. I bought my wii on launch day and played it for about two months. Afterwards i really didn't enjoy it. in fact I don't think I've played my wii for a year, so I might just sell it. Even my psp entertains me more. Don't waste your money and buy a ps3 or 360.

Just for bringing up Wii Sports as an example nobody should take you serious. That's like saying: "Wow, X-Box sucks, just look at Vampire Rain!"

I've enjoyed my Wii. The motion controls are great, the only shame is that there aren't more games that take advantage of them. In the past two years we've had some major releases including Corruption, Zelda, and Super Mario Galaxy. I don't think the Wii is lost, it's only taking a break. I would also suggest getting one.

Take his advice. The wii is great, and all these supposedly "hardcore" gamers should not be trusted.

First of all, get over yourself. If you refuse to play Mario and Zelda because you think they are "childish" then you are very immature.

Second, if you are looking to play first person shooters and RPG's with amazing graphics, you're looking at the wrong system.

It really depends on what you look for in a system. The Wii has some fun games, but overall the library of titles for the Wii is pretty weak. Anybody who says the Wii has a tremendous library of games is a fanboy most likely. However, when a game is good on the Wii it's very good.

I barely ever play mine anymore, however, I would never sell it because there is quality in the system

LOL No More Heroes is NOT a shooter dude.

Resident Evil 4 is an awesome game, Metroid Prime 3 is an awesome game, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is an awesome game (or so I've heard), Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is one of the most challenging light gun shooters ever and probably has the most depth out of all light gun games, and Conduit will hopefully be awesome.

I wouldn't say the Wii is lost the Wii is a lot of fun. I have to say I enjoy my 360 a lot more than the Wii, but I have been having a lot of fun with it now. For example I will buy Madden on the Wii from now due to the controls, makes it a lot more fun. Also Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros are really good as well. Medal of Honor Heros 2 is a really good FPS with great online, and for RPGs that Dragon Quest game looks pretty fun.
