Has the Wii become mandatory to own?

like the title says, with its revolutionary controls, and its huge sales, has the wii become mandatory, i say, nearly.

Hell to the no

No. No gaming console is mandatory to own.

Only if you like variety in it's games, which is mainly why I have a Wii.

For many here, it's hard to see past the obvious shovelware, last gen hardware, not that great online and has more bad games than both 360 and PS3.

At least it has Super Mario Galaxy and some other great games.

No. I like racing sims, rts, mature rpg games(so no zelda) and fps games. The Wii doesn't have much in the way of those type of games and what they do have is nothing compared to whats available for the PC. It really depends on the gamer. Wii maybe if you have kids, or trying to get your technophobic grandparents to play a game or you just like they type of games the wii offers but no it is not mandatory no system is mandatory except PC and thats just because of all the other capabilities it has outside of gaming.

Hell to the no

ps3 is really the best choice

NINTENDO DID IT FIRST!!

just wanted to say some facts: Has anyone tried the wii motion plus? it is worth your money.

when did motion sensing really start? i am curious to know

anyone tried Madworld for wii?

not taking sides, OK?

As a gamer I always thought it was. SMG/SSBB/Punchout!!/MK/MP/LoZ:TP. SMG2 & another LoZ & TvC on the way, WSR is pretty good too!

I agree butI've actually heardpeople say it is because of the light rpg elements.

*looks at the consoles I have*

No, it hasn't.

has everyone tried/rented/bought some ofthe greats for each console? hope everyone has. some examples: super mario galaxy for wii. Halo for xbox 360, GTA4 for the ps3.

not taking sides, OK?

^There are great titles for every console, but people like to speculate and argue over which is the best overall.

[QUOTE="CDUB316"]

[QUOTE="mgkennedy5"] I used the motion plus at friends house who just got Wii sports Resort, and I gotta say I didn't see a difference. We play Ping Pong and Fencing, and The ping pong was the same as either tennis or Wii play Ping pong, and the fencing was basically "who can waggle fastest"tester962

ok...so you didn't play it then

or you guys suck EXTREMELY bad...trust me...wagglers in sword play...will get OWNED

well i gave him two options

and anyone who plays it knows that if you waggle...your gonna get owned

my guess is if he DID play it, he was just so use to waggling that he didn't know what else to do

wiimotion plus IS 1:1...and anyone who says otherwise and really HAS played it...then they are just ignorant

Fine thats all i wanted to know. thats just your opinion, it isn't mine, and you be just a tad less agressive, but u backed up your argument.

Well most people at my school own a Wii. Of course within Gamespot the answer is no, but to the regular people around the world it is a more solid yes.

easy .... NO.

still waiting for the good games .. i count 4

its only mandatory if ur under 12zzzzzzz !!

It's not mandatory to own but if you don't have it you miss out on the Nintendo games.

What?! No.

Only if really like Nintendo games.

There's not much besides that.

Welll it's more mandatory than psp 360 and ps3, but less than ds and pc. Simply based on how many memorable great titles they have. The pc ps3 360 share most their games, but pc actually has a huge flash/mod base and bc.

Btw it's also more expensive than 360/ps3 if You buy some controllers :P

I think the Wii is a pretty poor console, it's just not worth my time.

The Wii has been the least enjoyable console I've ever owned. Its only purpose thus far has been to play GameCube games and Ocarina of Time.subrosian

Games like MadWorld are just not upto the standards of the offerings on any of the other systems (including the DS, which is god-like. New GoldenSun wil be awesome)

Only if really Nintendo games.

There's not much besides that.IronBass

It's mandatory for females and the casual fanbase since that's what it's intended for.There is nothing revolutionary about the Wi''s controls (my mother has one) and not eeven Galaxy is a good game.I bought the game for my mother's Wii and never touched it since that same day.

Absolutely not. Wii is the last console I would buy

Wii's motion controls are arguabely being upstaged on the other consoles, sales doesn't make a game mandatory to own; it's the games. IMO, the Wii is an okay secondary console but it's definately not 'mandatory'. I've gone all year without playing mine.
