Nintendo Wii is it worth getting

i have a PSX, PS2, PS3 and an Xbox360. i'd get a Wii myself it's just i don't really trust the motion sensor remotes, do they work well? does the remotes depend on the game, as in if the game is buggy or glitchy and incomplete or simply crap do the remotes swings or spins or twists with the remotes react at 100% or whateva %. can you play every game with the same controller like if you're playing an fps can you use a normal controller as well as (i assume) a motion sensor type-of-deal pistol controller. my most concern with the Wii is the controllers that's the main reason i won't get one.

if i have a ps3 and a 360 would the it still be worth it would the games be any different, if so how ?

It strongly depends on the games. Like for me, I just can't play a first oder 3rd person Shooter with double analog sticks. For me it was keyboard and mouse on the PC all the time. With the Wii i really enjoy aiming with the Remote and the Gun Periperals you can buy. For me this enhances the experiance a lot, I even prefer it over the PC, though it lacks the precision of a mouse but it's just some much fun :)

The other types of games are those that incorperate the motion in a reasonable and good way, like Grand Slam Tennis oder Tiger Woods. The WiiMote is perfect for those kinds of games and they wouldn't be as much fun for me when playing them with "normal" PS360 Controls.

Then there are those games, that just tack on some motion or gesture to perform an action on-screen. Example for that could be Fifa 09. I really enjoyed the possibilty of precise passing with the pointer, but swinging the remote to fire a shot is just strange to me. I'd prefer a button there.

So basically you gotta ask yourself, if there are enough games that you might enjoy that offer the two types of controls that PS360 don't. I'd go with pointer Control for nearly any game over an analog Stick. The Motion Control strongly depends on the type of game and how it is used. A lot of games just put it in because it's possible, which in often cases leads to more or less pointless "waggling" of the remote.

Another factor is the graphics, depending on how much you are used to the superb offering of the PS360. The Wii can't compete with that.

You don't "Trust" the motion controls?

They work perfectly. I've never seen a complaint of them not working, unless their controller broke.

Honestly, no. Keep your other consoles and avoid the Wii until its lineup gets better.

It is all a matter of the type of games you like. If the Wii has enough games that you enjoy, then it is definitely worth it. Honestly, the Wii is the best console to get if you have one of the other two and are planning to get another system, simply because it has more exclusive games, where as the PS3 and 360 share a lot of the same games.

I have all of the systems and the Wii is by far the system that gets played the most. I have played the PS3 maybe an hour in the past 2 or 3 months and the 360, which I just recently got, I've only played once in the past 2 weeks. My Wii, on the otherhand, I play almost everyday and usually for more than an hour, just because it appeals to me the most. I'm not saying the other systems are bad, they all have their good points, but for me the Wii is the console of choice.

However, each gamers is different and therefore it all boils down to the game library.

I'll be completely honest with you: as of today, the Wii is a complete rip-off. The PS3 Slim that comes out September 1st is only $300 and has a much better value than what you get with a Wii for $250. I think Sony will put enough pressure on Nintendo to the point where they are forced to lower the price for the Wii. I think you should wait for that to happen and then buy it.

The motion controls work fine, and when they don't it's because of the game (no game will get a good review if it can't be controlled, so look into reviews/scores and see what they say about the controls).

The people who tell you that theiraren't enough games are the ones who choose not to play them. You can find a good list of 15-20 exclusive games for the Wii, and that should be plenty for now.

There is at least 50 other topics just like this.

I think it's worth it...

The motion controls work fine. I've had my Wii for two years and nothing has happened.

I would say get one especially for all the awesome games coming our way.

it just depends what game you get

Honestly TheGhettoGT, I just bought my Wii 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it. I own a 360 as well and they both offer different levels of enjoyment towards gaming.The 360 I feel is for when I wanna go balls to the wall and play some crazy online matches and the Wii is a great relaxing tool. I love playing Super Paper Mario or Super Mario Galaxy and just chillin' exploring and taking my time to enjoy the games. As well I find that the Virtual Console has the greatest selection of classic games I grew up with and I could'nt be happier with my purchase.

I would've paid for the Wii with a price tag of $500 without any hesitation. It's the console even worth mentioning that's been released this generation.wiifan001

And yes, the Wii is worth getting. :)
