Poll. So the wii do you think its dyeing?

So what do you think about the wii? compared to the ps3 an xbox 360?

I go to alot of forums now aday and there always bashing the wii and saying its dead now i personally think the wii is getting quite old but it does have some of the best game I.e. Super mario galaxy, super smash bros, mario kart and many other good games but i also think Nintendo is really focusing alot more on there portable systems nowadays and not on the Wii. My question to you is what do you think about the wii campared to other consoles is it dyeing or will it continue to prosper for many years to come.

Where's the poll?

And the correct answer is "No."

Well as soon as anything is released, it isn't gaining life is it?

It's not a good idea to dye your Wii.

Yeah, it's slowly dying right now.

So the wii do you think its dyeing?

Nope. At least untill they release Zelda Skyward Sword :P

peobably wii23 coming 2013 first on the market CTR360

The Wii is gonna last a while longer yet I believe. It wasn't even that long since they released some pretty popular games like Mario Galaxy 2, andDK Country Returns. And there is still a new Zelda on the why, as well asa new IP.

And Nintendo's first party games from when the Wii launched are still at the same price they we were then. And before we can say the Wii is dieing, they will at least drop.

No, it's not dying.

It has three likely million plus sellers on the horizon in Zelda, Pikmin 3, and Dragon Quest X.

It has other potential high profile releases coming like Xenoblade, Conduit 2, and Rhythm Heaven Wii.

It has games that probably should be a little more high profile, but sadly aren't like Rodea the Sky Soldier (From the creator of Sonic and Nights Into Dreams and the writer of Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Symphonia, which has a several minute gameplay trailer floating around that's pretty nice, but is not on Gamespot).

It has several titles that make a good impression, but aren't slated for localization yet, but might be in the future like The Last Story, Earth Seeker, and Pandora's Tower.

It has downloadable titles coming that make a strong first impression like LaMulana, Prototype and Horizon Riders.

I'm not going to compare it to the 360 or PS3 as you asked because this is not the forum for that.

This is system wars stuff :?

gotta love the person that tries to talk about the miscategorization of a topic, as if it's getting them brownie points with the mods.

Anyway, yes I believe the Wii is on its way out, but that's typical after 5 years.

lmao wow, nice false assumption you've got there from up on that pedestal, but thanks for giving me the entertainment of seeing you make yourself look silly :P

Skyward Sword is coming, and we have Other M, Kirby, Symphonia, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and others to keep us busy. Not really.

No, I don't see why these topics keep cropping up. Once again, it is called downtime. Last Year the Wii came out with high profile software continuously. The only exceptions were July, September, and December.

January-No More Heroes 2

February-Tatsunoko vs Capcom

March-Red Steel 2

April-Monster Hunter 3 and Prince of Persia

May-Mario Galaxy 2

June-Sin and Punishment

August-Metroid Other M

October-Kirby's Epic Yarn

November-Donkey Kong Contry Returns, Goldeneye, and Sonic Colors.

You can't expect any company to constantly come out with great games all year round.

The reason why the other systems have games right now is because thier holiday season was not that great last year. Halo, Fable, and Gran Turismo are not enough to sustain people for the entire fall.

The Wii hasn't had a single great game so far this year.

There isn't an excuse for that when every other system has had a ton of them.

Who is to blame for this blasphemy?

Nintendo and third party devs.

Mostly Nintendo though. Their job is to keep their costumers happy.

I dont think that the wii is dieing i just think its not up to the PS3'S or the Xbox'S standards

What could they have done differently?

The wii is on crutches. The crutches are the older games that are excellent. It can't keep relying on these crutches, as it has to get out of them some day. It needs to heal and get back to it's feet again.

In other words we want good games. Screw the latest video game about Spongebob's misadventures, give us a quality game.

I think its pretty much dead as controversial as that probably is to say on this board, I also think the other two our on their way out too though so Im not really biased on this matter. The Wii is at that stage where you tend to look back at the run it had, for those of us that replay our games it can still hold your attention.

What could they have done differently?

Localize more games that are already finished in Japan. Europe has yet to get games like Excite Bots or Trauma Team. US has yet to get Another Code: R or Disaster: Day of Crisis.

Why not Localize Fatal Frame 4?

Nintendo has a lot of games that they just sit on.

Now that it appears Xenoblade and Last Story are going to be localized, with a new Dragon Quest and Zelda on the way, I would have to say no.meetroid8

We don't even know if DQ10 is going to leave Japan yet.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they delay it and release it on the next Nintendo system. Like Nintendo did with Twilight Princess.

Yeah let's abandon the ship that is on par with HD systems in both hardware sales and price.

If people aren't buying games for it anymore then they will do that.

Look at the PSP, it's selling millions upon millions. It's outselling the 3DS right now in Japan and gets tons of Japanese games released on it. Guess what? It still aren't getting any western support as we barely buy PSP games in the west.

No, offence but it looks like the western devs have already abandoned the Wii.

GRAMMAR FAIL. And where's the poll? I don't think it's dieing, it still has a ways to go. Cloud_765

before you call a grammar fail, check yourself. It's dying, not dieing lol.

The other consoles both updated themselves in some way, to the Wii standard of control really, but now what does the Wii upgrade to? I'd say a new console is coming, which means the Wii is on its way out.

As much as I enjoy having the Wii around, I'm pretty much in agreement with JLF1 here. Unfortunately, not a single game listed would be either a system-defining game nor was any of them a legitimate system-seller, for that matter, with most of them barely keeping themselves relevant to Wii owners, much less to the rest of the industry. The last game worthy of having such labels was New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and that was almost a year and a half ago. Other than that, the Wii has clearly shown that it's on the downside of its lifespan, and as we speak, there really isn't any game right now that's creating any buzz on the console's behalf.

I'm sure any Xbox360/PS3 fanatic could make a list of quality games just as big, if not bigger, and more importantly, they would likely be more popular/successful games on top of that. Right now, the Wii's buzz is pretty much going on what we might see down the line, such as Zelda: Skyward Sword and Dragon Quest X, not what is being played now or not even what's has been played over the past handful of months. Unlike in previous years with games like Wii Fit, Mario Kart, and NSMB Wii, the system doesn't even have that big "evergreen" title that continues to draw attention to the system, even while the current software is in a drought. On top of it all, third parties have all but given up on the system at this point. Put it all together, and this is looking more than just a mere downtime for the system. All of this being said, I don't think Nintendo have given up on the system totally, and I do suspect that we'll see a few more significant games in store before Nintendo decides that it's time to move on.

Why would Nintendo abandon the best selling console of all time (LTD wise) it doesn't make any sense.

More than 454,000 Wii consoles sold in February to put Wii across the 35 million mark faster than any other console in U.S. history.February proved to be a notable month for Nintendo software as well. Not only was Just Dance 2 from Ubisoft the No. 1 best-selling game of the month with more than 554,000 sold, but four Nintendo games reached new sales milestones. Donkey Kong Country™ Returns for the Wii console, which launched in November 2010, crossed the 2 million mark in February, while New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii, which launched in November 2009, just crossed the 8 million sales mark.Nintendo

Latest NPD ..... ._. .......

I'm pretty sure the Wii I own is slowly dying, but the Wii market itself is still doing alright. Even though it's not as popular as it once was it's still selling really well for an almost 5 year console. It's still beating the PS3 every month in the US and is pretty close to the 360. Although it is certainly nearing the end of it's natural lifecycle. I'm guessing the sucessor will come out the end of next year. Obviously Nintendo has shifted a lot of focus to the 3DS and the next home console, so the Wii won't get as much attention. Still the Wii had a pretty good run and will probably at least pass the PS1 to become the 2nd highest selling home console of all time, that's still pretty good. All those people worrying about no games this year should probably relax, as most Nintendo games aren't announced until they are about to come out. We only knew about DCKR and Kirby for like 3 months before they came out. Next year will probably be pretty bad though, although hopefully not as bad as 2006 was for the Gamecube.

Never attempt to dye your wii. Nintendo will release new colors when they see fit.garrett_duffman
