What was your reason for buying your Wii? (Why did you want one?)

I got it pretty much for the Virtual Console, Dragon Quest Swords and Smash (which wasnt all that great).

i wanted a wii so i could play video games...bbtcbbtc

Be more elaborate, silly! :P jk.. I purchased the Nintendo Wii for "classic-like" games. I miss the days of SNES and N64, and my era with the Gamecube was short-lived. Next-gen games are missing that classic gameplay that are seldom or rare these days. For instance, right now, I'm playing mainly Gamecube, PS2, and Wii games. Gameplay is just important as graphics. They go hand and hand.

Pretty much so I could play Zelda the first day it came out. But I knew there would eventually be other games to justify to purchase as well.

the same reason l got my wii

1. You Can Exercise yourself with this console

2. Interactive Games. More tips & trick rather than pushing the joystick

3. Playing Style is different

4. I've got it for free as a birthday gift anyways...........HAHAHA:lol:

i bought a wii because ubisoft said they're going to create nintendo-like quality games.

ok ok...i am being sarcastic...

I remember getting t cos I read about it, and the hype slowly built up, I read an article on ign and there was a line saying how after a few years high res textures would get old, and that the wii would shine then. Id also gotten into nintendo games a year previous and I really liked the way they felt.

Basically I got it for nintendo games. And Im not ashamed to say that one of the game si was looking forward to was Red steel. (es I know its not made by nintendo :p)

Back then the reasons were Virtual console, Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy. Then later I started anticipating tons of new titles and I have a feeling I will be broke by 09 :P

I heard about motion controls and I nearly crapped myself in awe. The first thing I thought was "FPS WILL BE EPIC" and now we don't seem to have all that many but....well....w/e

that and there was absolutely no way I was NOT going to get to play the new zelda game again. I didn't get a gamecube til my PS2 broke and missing out on windwaker for so long was a nightmare

Because I like Nintendo and I wanted to have it.Link9n17

Your Reason is very straight forward and very specific!!!:)

Nintendo is like the Mercedes of video game developers and I happen to enjoy the finer things in life. I'll buy practically anything Nintendo makes.

Is dragon quest any good...ooh new post.Tvac897

Read the review.

I got it because i was excited to see how motion sensing would be implemented into video games.

Then i got bored, but still stuck with it hoping for "sadness" to be released onto the console, but since it was taking too long...i gave up on the wii and sold it

I got my Wii to sell it to someone with much more money than patience and therefor turn a profit. I made the mistake of plugging it in "just to make sure it worked."

Next thing I know I'm buying WiiPlay for the extra controller and Umbrella Chronicles 'just to see if it's any good.' Now I have wiipoints falling outta my ears and 70 something Miis falling out of other places. I have classic controllers and zombie shooters and little multi-colored latex things scattered all over my bedroom (HA!) I also have a nice set of dark circles under my eyes from staying up til 3am to find that level 7 dungeon on Zelda. I can't stop playing Smash Brothers because I'm sure if I try hard enough, Pit will do something extraordinary that only I (and not my girlfriend) can make him do, which will make me King of All Things Wii in my domicile.

I only wanted to turn a buck, yanno?

Three main reasons:

• I loved my Gamecube, and this looked to have the same types of games that the Gamecube had.
• The Virtual Console is great, because I missed a lot of games I should have played.
• Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn was announced for it.

There you go, simple, but true.

For Nintendo, and for good games.

I didn't want any console but my dad was interested in the Wii for a while before asking me if I wanted one. I said I wouldn't mind one and I got one as a very late Christmas giftKenny789

Same with my dad... now hes looking at a PS3... ugh

I bought it because I love Nintendo, why else?

Oh yeah, the games are great too. ;P

Nintendo Games, i would of brought it earlyer if they didnt implement the stupid "wiimote"

the new controller intrigued me and, with the GC dead where i lived, i also needed it for TP.

i just thought there were so many cool ideas in the system that, at the very least, i had to try it.

so far? pretty happy. 3rd partys need to do alot better but the gems are there.
