ok so i know there is SMG and Legend of Zelda: TP and SSB:B but other than that i am not finding any games that have gotten decent ratings or even look fun to play! this is upsetting to me cuz i looked for a Wii forever and then i really started researching the games only to find that they all have bad reviews and dont look fun or pretty. Should i take it back or is Nintendo gonna start makin some good games like soon?

Hereis a solid list IGN made. I'm sure you'll find at least a couple of games to your liking in that list.

I looked through that list and all of them (except for Naruto) are worth a purchase. If you've been looking at Wii reviews from GameSpot then you'll see a lot of low scores because they low ball Wii games here.

Well i see games like Super Paper Mario and thats not hardly even an RPG anymore so i scratched that off my list, Geo Wars: Galaxies is a little expensive for wat it is, im not too interested in Metroid, and a lot of the other games are just too ugly for me or just dont look fun i mean i love Wii Sports and SMG looks awesome, same goes for SSBB but i really just dont want my Wii to be something that sits up next to my TV and collects dust because of a huge amount of lackluster games...

It's true that SPM is not an RPG anymore, but if you like the Mario side-scroller games and the Paper Mario game you will like this game.

The Wii is like any other game system that's come out. Not every game is gonna be stellar. You're gonna have your fair share of crapware but there are good titles on the system besides the few you listed. keep looking. You'll find something that floats your boat...

I suppose it depends on what type of games you like to play, but other games I think are really good include Metroid Prime 3 and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. I have heard very good things about Metal of Honor Heroes 2 and Guitar Hero 3, although I have not played them yet. Add those to Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda, and that would keep anyone going until all the new games come out. Games like Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart Wii, Nights Journey of Dreams, etc. Try this link to see the ratings and decriptions of games already out, and go look here and see games that will be released soon.

I suggest actually trying the games out rather than listening to reviews and stuff. If you have a friend with a wii, try playing with some of his games or something.

the VC games cost from 5-12 dollars. It can play gamecube games but you need the gamecube controller and memory card. Zack and Wiki and Bwii are games I would consider under hyped. In my opinion the VC is a nice addition, mainly because they are releasing games never released out of Japan.

After playing MP3, I think better graphics in the future is possible. But it all depends if the developers could make that happen.

Wii Ware will be the service to download original games from indies and big developers. It's the opposite of the VC where it was the classic games to be downloaded. Also, many games will be online on it like Dr.Mario WiiWare version.

Also, you should not reject games that people propose. Rent them before making judgements.

It is one of those things you should research before you buy a console. The games are the most important factor in choice. I have a 360 & Wii. I have 6 games for360 and more than 12 for the Wii. The Wii is my rock of a console as I have already had 2 360's break on me in 13 months. The graphics for the Wii will never be on par with the 360 or PS3. If you are looking for the high graphics a Wii is not your thing.

I have been gaming for over 20 years so for me graphics aren't a selling point for me. The VC is awesome if you like old games. I have Loz TP, RRR2, RE 4 wii, RE UC, Mario & Sonic, Mario Galaxy, Metal Slug, Naruto, Supre Paper mario, warioware, DBZ BT2, Wii zapper, RRR, Madden 07, and more. In the end you will have to look at the present and future and understand what is coming out.

Wiiware is new, low key titles that will be available for purchase and download off of the Wii shop channel sometime early next year.

Downloadable games like Xbox Live Arcade.

So far, Nintendo has gotten over 100 submissions. We know about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land which is a type of build your own town type game, and has great graphics for a downloadable game.

Dr. Mario game, Bomberland online, karaoke game, pokemon farm, star soldier r, and a lot more.

im not rejecting everybody's games its just that i have a gamecube and i have rented the same games and played them on that GC and they werent very fun in my opinion i mean i really want the Wii to be awesome but i just cant see it being a system with consistently good games!

I find that besides the first party games some of my favorite Wii games are more niche, ie Zack and Wiki, Fire Emblem, Trauma Center, etc. If you're expecting it to be like the 360 where you get a lot of decent dime-a-dozen shooters and stuff you're not going to find them.

So wat ur saying basically is that we are gonna have to settle for some pretty crappy games. that sucks
