As a Gamer, Do you need a Wii?

Zhengi: Are you implying I didn't own all three consoles? Let me nip this in the bud. I bought all three because I had high hopes, expecting games to start coming out. What I was greeted with was a platform that continually lost exclusive, and a system that started leaning so heavily towards the casual consumer that it made me sick. Its only natural I'd get rido f them.Vandalvideo

Because I'm an objective consumer that likes to buy lots of stuff. Its not my fault that there wasn't anything to play so I ended up buying games that did interest me. A gamer doesn't hold onto something that doesn't interest him, he trades it in to buy stuff that does!Vandalvideo

People under 25 do not remember the NES very well.

I personally have no idea what this means.  I mean, I am only 17, but I remember well the days when I owned a NES and Sega Genesis and SNES and all those consoles...

But maybe that's because I was poor and about 6 years behind the curve on owning game systems.... 

Being 17, you were 5 years away from being born when the NES came out.

I didnt talk about the SNES or Genesis because its one of those middle-ground areas that I did not want to get into. By the time you were old enough to play games (maybe 4yo) the PS1 was out. Damn, I am old:(

It's not imperative to own one; you won't really miss out on anything.TrueReligion_

I dunno, I personally don't want to miss out on SSBB, SMG, SPM and there are other games like No More Heroes that look interesting to me.

I'm buying a Wii in the future though, not just yet.

After playing the Wii I have very, VERY tempted to buy a Wii. Over time that feeling faded and looking at the future lineup so far for the Wii, I can safely say I won't feel like I'm missing much if I don't buy the Wii right now, or in the near future. Just like the PS3 I'll see how things look a year from now then make a decision but so far my opinion isn't terribly favorable.Corvin

If you don't have friends to play with, than you don't need a Wii, a PC is more for you : Pwok7

IMHO there's no way that a someone who calls himself a gamer can be satisfied with ONLY a Wii. Unles the have a 360, ps3 or a gaming pc.

But to answer your queation, no I don't need one. Atleast not yet. Maybe if they release some Real Games instead of gimicky Mini-games...

Because every true gamer has $1500+ to spend, right?  And every true gamer has a 60 inch HDTV and a top of the line sound system and every system ever made and X arbitrary game and a beanbag chair and a custom made controller and a perfect PC and awesome cabling and...

To be a gamer, call yourself one.  It's that simple.
