So, is the Wii dead now?

Seems like the only good game coming out is Zelda Skyward Sword, the rest of the upcoming games are mostly rubbish (except for Kirby). I really had my hopes for The Grinder, but seems like it has died too. I find my self feeling sad for the Wii, feels like it never reached its full potential. The only game I'm currently playing on it is Tetris. =(

I have all the "BIG" Wii-titles, but now found my self totally bored with them. Did not even finish Metroid Other M or Echoes and Corruption. Finished Prime, and the other 2 games just felt like more of the same, and they are a little bit too hard to navigate, takes hours just to figure out what to doo next. Golden Eye was fun for the first 2 hours, then got rally boring, and multiplayer is to laggy, same story with Conduit 2. The only Wii game that i spent a lot of time on is Galaxy 1 & 2 , Twilight Princess, and COD-Reflex. I have a around 40+ hours in BlackOps too, but they cant seem to fix the multiplayer lagg so now its just collecting dust.

So, now im just left with a feeling that I never relly got enough. There never was a game that made mee feel like i did playing Ocarina Of Time, or Half Life 2 on PC, the sort of feeling that you cant wait to get back to the game again, and again. Mario Galaxy was fun to play, but the story is so basic, that you can easily skip it all together, and just see the game as a bunch of levels that you have to finish in what ever order, the excitement gets lower and lower.

I guess im still waiting for that BIG wii exclusive game that will keep my entertained for 200+ hours of gameplay. But i guess thats never going to happen =(

They want you to buy 3DS this holiday.

It's kinda' been dead for a while, at least in my opinion. After Skyward Sword, I am sooooo trading in my Wii.... I never play it, and haven't played it much since the first year and a half it came out. donalbane

Nobody would blame you, but keep all the Wii accessories as well as your Wiimotes and stuff since all of that is backwards compatible with the U.

Its kind of sad that the only BIG game, was ZeldaTW, and its a GC game!

I am disappointed Nintendo didn't show more games that were coming to the Wii. I am sure they have something other than Skyward Sword, Mario Party 9 and Kirby.

Imagine if they would have released something like God Of War (look a like) or Halo or Portal. I dont think the Wii hardware is that low-end. I would be glad to have a good beat'em up game like God Of War on the wii, even if the graphics would look like PS2. Or even a decent racing game would be nice, i mean, what to we have that is good except Mario Kart? And dont say Need for Speed Nitro, worst buy i ever did.

Yes its dead, mine is already buried in my closet , though i plan to ressurect it once zelda will be released :D

Sounds like somebody didn't get Monster Hunter Tri. I got well over 200+ hours of gameplay out of that and I'm still drawn back to it now and again. It's without a doubt the best 3rd party game on Wii, if not the best overall.

Nintendo still has three pending subjects with their loyal hard-core Wii owners. I mean they should bring to America The Last Story, Xenoblade and Pandora's Tower. Come on, Nintendo. We will buy those games for sure. After that, the Wii might rest in peace.

Well Kirby Wii is gonna come out later this year.

I dont think that Zelda is a kids game, Twilight Princess was quite dark, and I liked it. Looks like Skyward Sword is more on the britght side of life, but I think its still gona be packed with action and hard puzzles and even some dark stages of the game. And i really like what they have done with the graphics in Skyward Sword.

About Monster Hunter. I actually have that game, but only played it for like 30min. Maybe i judged it too quickly, but it just seemed som gimmiky and difficult to get a grip on. Maybe im wrong? I'm playing The Whitcher 2 now on PC, and cant find any motivation to play Monster Hunter :(

It seems so, specially if WiiU is the focus from Nintendo right now, however, Kirby and of course Zelda SS are coming so that should be enough for this holyday, besides, i'm still wating for Last Story and Xenoblade, hopefully those will be the last heavy titles (at least in America) before i oficially declared my Nintendo Wii finally dead.

Go play Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. Beating the game on normal puts hair on your chest. Beating it on hard causes said hair to each individually grow balls of steel.

The Wii has been dead since that Donkey Kong game.

Yeah, it seems that the Wii is pretty dead now, sadly. Skyward Sword will be great, but not much to look forward to until then. I was also hoping for Last Story/Xenoblade/Pandora's Tower news, but nope. I suppose it's possible we'll see an announcement later this year, but I'm getting tired of hoping. When Nintendo switches hardware, they switch quickly (although they did announce Professor Layton 4 for DS, interestingly).

Good thing I have a substantial backlog (and a new old Xbox 360).

Nintendo Wii is not dead for me at least until they release Zelda Skyward Sword :P

Surely anybody who has stuck with Nintendo a few gens knows this cheap tactic by now? it starts with drip feeding games and ends every time with you waiting for a Zelda on your practically dead console twiddling your thumbs with nothing left to play. All the time this is going on a new handheld is available which funnily enough has a steady stream of first party content flooding onto it.

There's Pandora's Tower and that Armadillo game to come still.so_hai

look into monster hunter
