I've been a staunch Nintendo supporter since the NES (except for the N64). It was the next Nintendo console, it had motion sensing, it has Super Mario Galaxy, and it was the quickest way possible to get Twilight Princess. Reason enough for me.

The Games. I can't Miss out on my Metroid Prime 3, Smash, Mario, Mario Karts, etc.

oh yeah, plus the controller/design of the console made me want it.

Ive owned every nintendo home console and most of their portables. I loved all of them except the Gamecube which was a big let down. Also I knew the VC would own and games like zelda TP, SMG, SSB, metroid 3 and more would all be great.

I brought the wii for new game play and to be able to download classic games. Plus Nintendo has too many good franchises to not get the wii. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Star Fox, Donkey Kong, Resident Evil, Yoshi, and so much more. Can't miss all those!

The games are awesome, the gameplay is revolutionary, virtual console, and reasonable price. Why not get a Wii. Oh I forgot to mention Mario, he owns all.

Almost the same reasons. Also, like the DS, I knew nintendo would pull out something amazing. And like the ds, having a good 3rd party support.

I've always been a big fan of Nintendo, and I was very much involved in the speculation about the "Revolution" controller prior to it's unveiling. Naturally I was very excited when it was unveiled, so after waiting another year I picked it up the week after launch.

I bought it because of the control innovations and first party games. IT also helped that it was $250.00, considerably less than both other home consoles.

To revive my love for nintendo products again after I saw those 5 nintendo fans freezing their ass off 12 hours prior to launch. Then I spoke with a friend and debated on it for a few hours before deciding to go to sleep then wake up in 5 hours to stand in line to purchase the machine for its new take on gaming instead of the cliche controls everyone keeps doing gen after gen after gen. And so far I have loved it except one thing disapoitns me is the lack of good games since party titles are better for some reason and so we have to rely on first party games and the odd third party title like RE 4 to make a break through on the system.

Well, I've bought aNintendo consolevery generation (except for the N64 generation, because I skipped that generation), so I was planning on getting it unless if they reallymessed up. But after finding out more about it, I got really excited. Besides the fact that I always get Nintendo consoles, I got it because it had a lot of games that I wanted, it had the Virtual Consol, had the remote for a new way to play games, and had free online gameplay (once it has good games for online gameplay).

My #1 reason was the first-party titles. I HAVE to play Mario and Smash Bros.

Plus, I have always supported Nintendo.

Because I was fed up with replacing my 360 (3 red lights loads of times) and also on seeing the quality of my daughters DS at christmas. I just had to have one and I'm glad I did.

Because if it wasn't for Nintendo I wouldn't have gotten into gaming, the very first game I played was Super Mario Bros on the NES and I immediately fell in love with it so I feel I owe Nintendo.Plus some of the games on the Wii look real good.

I got the Wii because Nintendo games are always the most fun!

I also wanted it because of the new innovative control scheme...

But now I'm having second thoughts....

Just to expand further.

1. It came out in europe when it was announced to. Not Six months later.

2. Fully backwards compatible with the cube (99%) didn't take out the Backwards compatible chip for Europe.

3.Has a Zelda game at launch (Zelda pwns)

4. The VC is incredible:Mario64,kart,gunstar,f-zero etc

5. The PRICE (Get over it, it's a factor)

6. It looks cool and isn't the the size of a small fridge

7. The wiimote makes for unique 'fun' games and new genres of gameplay!

8. Battalion wars 2 Pwns

9. The first party games just ooze quality and polish

10. Nintendo doesn't let you down (i have the 360 for frag-fests!)

11. Manhunt 2 with wiimote controls (Damn BBFC)
