So far the Wii is the worst console in history

In terms of available software. Zelda was fine as a launch title, but can not really be considered a defining Wii title. Super Paper mario isnt even out in the Europe yet and even then its still a a gamecube port. Warioware id aslo fine if you like that kind of thing, but other then that we have nothing! The virtual console is nowhere near as good a service as Xbox live arcade and with nothing coming in the near future that is AAA material then I fail to understand why the wii is proving so popular. it certainly cant be because of hardcore gamers or even the Nintendo fans who must surley be dissapointed so far.

Set your Funky self down and a look at the news and internet. Notice how the Wii has sold 7 million and 360 has sold 10 million. Even though the 360 had a year lead, if not more. That's because the Wii is for everyone, with something FOR everyone. Nintnedo made a genius move hand it has been hugely successful.

Thats bull. I know its been succesful in terms of sales. My point is how many people who have bought it at this point are dissapointed. Quite a lot of them I bet. Something for everyone approach is fine, but if it means that everyone only gets a very little of what they want then whats the use!

Why is it that people who don't have good taste in games like to make threads about the lack of titles?

I mean so far no one can find a Wii and the titles still fly off the shelves more then any other system on the market. Also it's not just one title selling it's a bunch of different titles.

Anyone who complains about the Wii's software support suffers from two problems.

1. They're a bad consumer. In this day and age there's a myriad of places you can go to research games and if you failed to do that and don't have games you want YOU are to blame. To come on and rant that you're a poor shopper isn't something I'd brag about in a forum.

2. They don't understand the full scope of the sales for the Wii. This isn't as bad because not many people bother themselves with sales numbers so this mistake is overlooked more often then not.

Its ok, you didnt burst my bubble.

1. Zelda is built for the ground up for the Gamecube and so cannot be considered a defining wii title.
2. Ditto Super Paper Mario. Warioware i will accept, if, as i said, it is your thing
3. wii sports was a free tech demo. Fun sure, but not a defining title
4. Yes there are, none of them very outstanding though
5. VC service is basically an emulation service, offering nothing more than is already available. XBox live arcade adds updates, online multiplayer, leaderboards and achievements
6. Its a thread about my thoughts for the wii, so is perfectly suitable for a wii discussion forum

1. I know as much as anyone about what titles are available. I read Gamespot daily and am fully aware of ebvery title on the market and those that are upcoming. There are very few that are generally regarded as outstanding in any way.

2. What the hell are you talking about. I couldnt care less how much hardware or software Nintendo may have sold. When i look at the games available I see crap. Whats sales got to do with anything.

1. The wii mote controls for the wii version make it superior to the GC counterpart. I dont see why you're saying its not a defining title when it obviously is.

2. Papermario is not on the GC. It may have been built for the gamecube, but it was only released on the wii.

3. Wii sports is not free in Japan, and its selling like crazy there. It's one of the main reasons for the Wii's sucess.

4.Thats just an opinion, its not a fact.

5. I dont know about you but i buy video game consoles to play games. Virtual console keeps me busy with games i havent had the chance to pick up.

6. No, this should be in system wars.

7.If you think the wii is the worst console in history, you obviously havent been gamming very long. 

Recently, I saw a video about the worst consoles ever made and guess what the Wii is not there.

Jaguar, 3D0 and Philips CD-I are the worst console ever made.

No obviously you don't. If you did you wouldn't be complaining right now. All this thread is a huge ad that says you don't know how to shop for a console. If you did you'd know what you were getting into.

Want to know where you lost the ability to actually have a debate here and instead made one of the usual whining trolling threads?

Warioware id aslo fine if you like that kind of thing, but other then that we have nothing! The virtual console is nowhere near as good a service as Xbox live arcade

When you say "if you liek that kind of thing" right there shows that you have no other reason in this forum but to cause trouble. It comes down to personal taste and just like I said before the people who complain about the titles have questionable taste.

As far as your remarks about the Virtual Console that's further proof that you also want to cause trouble here. Each service has you download C l a s s i c games. Both of them work the same exact way so when you talk about the service once again you're showing that you're not an educated consumer if you don't even know how the services work.

Worst console. Phillips CDi (Ouch!) and yes i brought one. There are plaenty of Triple A rated games coming out on the Wii but if you mean 'Defining' games as System selling titles such as Gears or war or Grand theft auto. Try Mario Galaxy. It will cause empty wii shelves around the world. I'm sure that it will use the wiimote in new ways and be a defining as mario 64 was at the time.

7.If you think the wii is the worst console in history, you obviously havent been gamming very long. 

1. I cannot consider a game built on the hardware of another console and not using the full hardware potential to be a 'defining' title for that console. Resident Evil 4 was a 'defining' gamecube title as it was built from the ground up for that hardware, was awesome and really pushed the hardware to its limits. Zelda is simply awesome, the other 2 statements do not apply.

2. Ditto above for Paper Mario

3. I dont live in Japan.

4. Depends on how you look at it. If you take review scores from main gaming publications then the general opinion is that there aren't any outstanding games outside of the afore mentioned Zelda, Paper Mario and Warioware.

5. I also buy consoles to play games. I also consider having the ability to play those games alone, as they were intended, with upgrades AND online with friends as better value than simply playing them as they were first intended. Not too sure why you wouldnt also to be honest.

6. Hmm strange. I thought a wii forum would be for discussion of the wii, my bad.

7. Im 34 and have been gaming since Atari 5200. How about you?

People who have a lot to say have nothing useful to say. 

Can I get a drum roll entrance?  No? 

I hate these topics with a passion.  So here's my rant TC.

1.)The titles that are available are heavily diversified, the current library is no such way awesome, but it is decent.  If YOU know anything about gaming since you're an old fogie apparently you would realize that this period is known as the gaming drought.  Common among all consoles in lieu of what would be e3 (though it has been scheduled for July for this new, toned down e3).

2.)The game now can hold anyone over.  I'm sure you're salivating like the rest of us about those AAA titles tantalizing us all in the distance, which makes this period that much more difficult.  Hence the current library plus VC.

3.)The VC is better than Xbox Live Arcade.  Arcade games are great, but no one beats Nintendo's back catalog (not to mention Sega and Atari as well). The systems work exactly the same.  Live Arcade offers achievements (which..um...who cares? at least imo) and online multiplayer if possible (something that I like for sure- but Ninty's online isn't fully operational..probably because the system came out a year later compared to the 360)

4.)Zelda is as defining as you can get.  I understand your complaint about being built from the ground up.  Well the controls were.. and isn't that the whole point behind the Wii?

5.)WarioWare, Paper Mario are the tip of the iceberg.  Madden should be considered a defining title as well, considering the controls just work that well.

6.)Worst console in history? That's a bold statement and flame-bait if you ask me.  I'll bite. Look at the Wii.. shattering record after record of sales figures, expanding the market, bringing gaming back like it was a revolution.

7.)We're 6 months in... every console has that problem... people forget but the 360 had the exact same problem.. all consoles of the past have it.

8.)Your argument isn't the best I've read and seems one of two things.  You're trolling or... you're frustrated that the greatness of the Wii is waiting to burst but the software that YOU prefer isn't here yet.  Take a chill, its summer, go outside, relax.

You dont half talk some bull. When I first pre-ordered my wii, my research informed me that Metroid, Mario galaxy and Fire Emblam would all be near launch titles. Its not my fault that this hasnt happened and we have instead seen a major game drought. i purchased my wii with the intention of playing these games amongst others, not to play Warioware. This was my informed consumer decision.

Wow, you really are dumb. Yes both services offer c l a s s i c games as you say. One of them also offers you many new and exciting ways to play those games. Which one do you think that is?

digital_soul

No actually I don't talk any bull at all

As far as knowing when titles were coming out? Nintendo's history plus when you factor in that it's right after the holiday season there was no way on Earth that Metroid or Mario was coming out. No one in their right mind thinks that Nintendo was going to release it's prime franchises right after Christmas. Oh yeah let hurry and get Mario Galaxy out right after everyone spent their money at Christmas.

You play the C la s s i c games the way they were made back in the day, that's why they're caled C l a s s i c s, you don't screw wth them and the majority of people don't want them screwed with. You (much like the little no games rant) are not in the majority.
