Even now, 11 months after purchasing the wii, i still think it's the sexiest thing i've every seen. The console, not the games. If, nintendo could cater to everyone, and make cool sleek games for its cool sleek system i would be so happy. but all i see when i look on the shelves of stores is shrek 3 and kitty luv. I've made threads like this before, but now its just getting ridiculous. I used to love nintendo, and now i'm rethinking my stance. this whole thing with the casual takeover is making me want to buy a ps3(just because i gotta have my final fantasy, and FPS's aren't my thing) So since I highly doubt any of this will change(we all like money even nintendo) I think I might get one.

I can only play VC for so long Nintendo!

The main reason I am changing my mind about the wii, is because i feel that the motion controls have not been implimented well. i know thats the developers fault, but its nintendos fault as well then. The only games that have good motion controls IMO are SMG, and RE4. and super mario galaxy only uses it to do one move.

please correct me if you honestly think i'm completely wrong. but like i don't even want to renew my Nintendo power subscription now. thats how bad its gotten. the only game im hyped about right now is ff4

i think my problem is me actually, because i need intelligent games, and nintendo is never going to give me that now, save zelda, and a few others.

I don't know maybe i just need to vent all my frustrations. i'm not a wii hater, its my only console(which is probably why im so sad).

I'm tired of telling people all of the great games for the Wii in posts like these. IMO people who don't like the Wii and aren't satisfied in the game selection should either do some research or stop making these threads. Or at least make it a blog post...

I'm tired of all of the morons who think it's a bad idea to voice truthful opinions on the sad state of nintendo's game library and functionality of the controller.

Time will only tell when Nintendo will run out of ideas, but luckily for the past 25 years it's worked pretty well so far. Hopefully Super Mario Universe will have motion sensing controls.

The only reason to keep playing Wii is twilight hack, without that I would of sold my Wii a long time ago

I would recommend you get the 360 over the PS3. I haven't turned on my PS3 in months but MGS4 going to change that. As of right now the 360 is the king of RPGs and has a lot of future ones already planned. All I see on the ps3 is FF13 if that's is any good.

I don't see how anyone could be bored with the wii's current library. Seriously, I'm getting tired of listing all the games I have had a blast with.

Exactly. Well, not exactly. I don't agree with them but that's not why I'm mad. I'm mad because we see these posts ALL the time. I could care less if you don't like the Wii, just stop posting about it, it's getting annoying. Blog it lol.

yep, the wii is just too kidy, too wimpy, not hardcore at all, thats why i sold my wii and all its games for a 360, and god damn am i happy!! Gears of War FTW!!! >.Mr-Silter

I seriously hope this post is not serious or else you are another so called 'HARDCORE" gamer who only likes games with blood and gore and language and HD and all that crap. I would choose the wii for mario Galaxy alone, yeah i am a big Mario Galaxy fan.

I own a Wii and a PS3 and I was recently debating selling my Wii. After reading this I am going to end up keeping it because there always seem to be a game that comes along and I tell myself I wish I had that system to play that game. The ps3 and the Wii both have different things to offer and that is why I have both.

I'm pretty broke so can't get too many wii games but the ones i own make owning it worth it. Plus i still get to experience the greatness of Boom blox,SMG,Zelda twilight princess,Paper mario,and etc. Sell it if you dislike it i'm gonna enjoy playing my wii for many more years to come.

Wii games are hardcore enough.
I own both a Wii and a 360 and can enjoy the games I own for both system (which are almost all system sellers btw) equall.
That said, I think the GameCube did better this time around to deliver good games... I'm just not as impressed as I was with the GameCube.

The 360 does better with impressing on my big ass HDTV.
And not only graphical. But still loving Nintendo games with all my heart.

If the sexiest thing you've ever seen is a Wii, then you need to stop and address your situation before you even begin to worry about playing games.

You will get flammed here for posting that opinion but I know what your issue is, the Wii is not a good stand alone system unless you have very little gaming time or people around you can multiplayer with regularly. I have about 15 Wii games now (I think, its around that number Im sure) but in all honest the only games I think are must have are SMG, MP3, Zelda TP, Mario Kart and SSB (which I don't have yet :cry: will do soon though).

As you say even Nintendo have been slow to use the motion controls in new ways and only one game has satisfied me in that area, Metroid corruption. Third party is not a good option although there are a few good games about, Zack and Wiki plays well (although the controls don't stay fun and new for long :().

I was talking in the console sense. I'm sorry for msaking yet another post of "wii-hating", even though thats not what im doing at all. im just wishing nintendo would get their act together. Im tired of waiting for something new and epic, im tired of zelda, im tired of mario, im tired of metroid, im tired of it all i just want them to get on with project hammer, and disaster, and many others. I don't care about graphics, the problem is i dont have tons of money to spend on games, i have a life too.

when i bought the wii i thought it would be more innovative than it is. maybe thats my problem, i was expecting too much. i just thought they would take the motion sensing to the max, instead of all this monotinous "shaking", its about as real as the vibration is to getting punched.

the games i own are zelda, RE4, metroid, mario galaxy, SSBB, and guitar hero, the only one im playing and planning on buying a sequel to is guitar hero. I love how the wii looks, i love all the ideas they tried to impliment, and i love nintendo, every since i was 5. i just want something new and cool, i want something for wii like halo was for xbox. something groundbreaking and innovative, and interesting. i dont want to play with bunny rabbits, mario party, or wario. wario sucks,

I guess the main opionion i have, and im choosing to voice, is that nintendo needs to think less about money and less about milking their key franchises, because i know its driving people away.

thats my horrible problem, i want to love it sooo badly, but i've never been given a reason too, every single game i've hyped up has been a disappointment. short of SMG. but even that seems boring compared to super mario world, flashy graphics doesn't win me over, i need the magic nintendo had 10 years ago. the last thing they did super right was windwaker and re4 in my opinion.

The problem with you, Parkdude, is that, just like those who have posted this exact thread several times before you, you know exactly what you don't want, but you haven't really set your mind on what you DO want. Once you figure out what you want and, more importantly, once you know exactly how to express it with words, come back and ask for some advice.

Instead of making a thread that says "I DON'T WANT TEH KIDDIE", tell us "I want a survival horror game, a good RPG, a beat 'em up... Etc", and we'll flood your thread with good recommendations. Try not to grunt and yell something like "OMG NO MZRTQ XIV: THE RETURN OF THE COMEBACK OF THE FAMOUS IP FOR TEH WII?" Instead, ask for types of games. You'll get great replies and, if you pick some of the games people recommend, you'll get to play great games.

TC, unlike most people talking about buying alternate systems or more games. Here is some advice to help you decide. Wait for E3 this year. Nintendo have said they have some games "core" gamers will love. Once they have announced them all and your not really hyped up for any of them, then go by a second console or whatever. However if by chance you don't have a DS then I would strongly recomend getting that, unlike alot of gameboy systems, you can sit down with a DS for hours on end if you want to. Plus it has a real nice library. Or you could spend you time doing other stuff.

Hope I helped.

Don't know about King of RPGs but the 360 is like a cheaper PS3, minus the blue-ray player. Overall though the 360 has better exclusives then the PS3 I find.

To be honest, the PS3 is way sexier than the Wii.

On a more serious note, how could anyone be dissapointed with the Wii's library. Wiiware, VC, and the great library of 1st party games makes a great console for me.

Criticisms of the Wii generally do not belong on the Wii board.
