Should I buy a wii ?

Hey all, I loved nintendo games as a kid like super mario and mario kart and such. I have been thinking about buying a wii to get that old feeling back I used to get from those games. I am interested mostly in mario kart, super smash bros., zelda, and a few others. I have mostly been playing pc games the past couple years and am used to mostly awesome graphics and immersion. Would a wii be good buy for me or would I never use it ? Ty for any input.

The original nintendo games that you loved only last for about a few weeks. Mostly no replay value. And you would probably end up not using it the console after you beaten its few games.

So IMO, no.

If you played Nintendo games when you were younger, then you'll definitely enjoy Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Mario Kart Wii - though I personally prefer the Excite franchise in terms of racing...although it's not 4-player local multiplayer, so it depends on what you want. There are also a lot of other very good games that fit the Wii very well, if you know where to look. By that I mean good, complete experiences that take advantage of the controller well (but don't put in waggle where it doesn't belong) for a really unique experience.

Games like No More Heroes, de Blob, Zack and Wiki: The Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, Super Paper Mario, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption are all games that are unique to the Wii - not just because they're exclusives, but just because developers don't make these kind of games for other systems. That's why I personally enjoy the Wii

It depends on your game tastes, though. If you're mostly into epic RPGs, first-person shooters, sports games, and realistic racers, then I'd recommend getting an Xbox 360 or PS3. But the Wii has a very well-rounded library of other types of games.

I would say yeah it is worth it. It's a great console with great games. I own a 360 and ps3 and the wii gets just as much play time as those. The virtual console has some excellent games on it but I do agree that they do lack replay value. When all is said and done I don't regret my purchase even a little. The really great games are a little slow coming out but if you are just getting into it now that shouldn't be a problem as there are quite a few out there now.

It really depends. If you are a hardcore gamer who has alot of games and beats them in a short amount of time. Then, no. If you ejoy games and tend to take time to appreciate then. Then, yes. The only problem with the Wii is the lack of 3rd party titles. However, siince you said you enjoyed the older Nintendo games, there;s also Virtual Console to take up a good amount of time. Overall, I think you should own one.

i deffinetly agree with Falco_648, i loved playing nintendo 64 when i was a kid, but if you want to keep the love for nintendo games DON'T buy the wii. Im soooooo dissapointed in the wii, it has like 4 great games, 4 good and what's left is crap

great: Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros, Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart

decent: Wario Land Shake It, House of the Dead Overkill, Resident Evil Umbrella Cronicles, Call of Duty 5

3rd party developers don't even try at all to make a good game, they just give us 1/4 of what's supose to be a game, and even Nintendo is not trying hard. Super Mario 64 is waaaay better that Galaxy, and that was supose to be their "best" game. Untill any good games come out don't buy it... atleast The Conduit and Monster Hunter 3 look good....

Same here. Also since you only have a pc you could guitar hero or rock band. And it doesn't say resident evil 4 on there, I'd get that if I were you. It doesn't have any replay value for me but it's great the first time around.

Not true the new Zelda Twilight Pricess game is replayable IMO and also Brawl doesnt get old FOR A LONG TIME!

just to remember, wii graphs sux ( they are not bad but they are old ) and the motion sensor REALLY sux ( please motion +, work well )

Mario galaxy, Zelda , mario kart, excitebots, smash bros and metroid are the best games on the console. In my opinion Mario galaxy is one of the best games i ever played if it isnt the best but there isnt much of a replay value.

If i were you i would get it but if you dont have a good computer xbox 360 its a way better choice

Decent: add zack on wiki on his list

If you are looking for nostalgia, it might be good for you. If you miss some older Nintendo games, it could be for you (check to see if the ones you want are even available, first). But once you are done with those, I found that it didn't have much to offer me. If you are looking for FPS, TPS, RPG, or fleshed-out stories and characters, then avoid it as there is a severe shortage of those, especially quality ones.

Oh yeah. If you're looking into itfor Nintendo's first party games then yes--they're all great. The graphics aren't PC quality, but there's some unique gameplay. I also think you might be impressed with metroid prime 3. Easily the most immersive 1st person game I've ever played.
