:(

All those wise PS3/360/PC owners playing MULTIPLE AAA titles unavailable to Wii-only owners

At least Animal Crossing City Folk comes out soon! :lol:

Happy Holidays from Miyamoto and Iwata...

I personally find the Wii an absolute waste of my money and have regretted buying one for quite some time now.

I'm fine, thanks for asking.
But that's probably because I've had my Wii for just 6 months, so I still haven't finished all of the good games yet.
Please don't jump on me and tell me how I'm missing out on the awesome multiplats and exclusives from the PS3 and 360, because I already know that I am. I'm getting a 360 for Christmas (most likely) so I can catch up on what I've missed out on.
But yeah, it's not bad being a Wii-only owner at the moment.
I know I've been stubbern here in SW before, but I'll admit that the Wii probably isn't enough for a core gamers needs. :)

I think reality has finally set in for sheep. Winning the sales war means **** if your console doesn't provide you with good games on a consistent basis. Most of the Wii-only owners have accepted this fact and have bought primary consoles or a PC to augment their gaming experiences. Those who haven't are simply lambs being led to slaughter.

It's turning out like the gamecube all over again. The lack of AAA third party titles really hurts the system. My friend only uses it to play brawl sometimes when I come over, other than that it's just collecting dust. Luckily he has a good gaming computer.

it really amazes me the thing has a huge user base and still it gets mostly Crap, Look at the Ps3 or 360 Hit after hit after hit whereas the Wii gets bad ports, shovelware, casual centered stuff etc etc

I didnt bough one for obvious reasons im not rich and 250$ plues taxes for 3 or 4 good games is a ripoff

It's a userbase made up of mostly non gamers is part of the reason. Third parties have not found much success with the Wii as of yet. I say put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself would it be worth the loss? The company that Mario built seems to have kind of lost its way.

Just bought my Wii and its my primary console. I have 7 great games on it. Now I'm enjoying No More Heroes. And playing Brawl with 3 friends its great. The Wii have everything I need. I don't interested inn another FPS title or same war against aliens type of games, I'm bored of those. But still those are good games, but not appealing to me.

I wouldn't know. Six months after buying the Wii at launch, I bought a 360 to satisfy my cravings for new games.

Not sad at all. First, I wouldn't get sad over video games in general. Secondly I have far more games to play than I do time for anyhow.

Rule number 1: Nintendo fans never admit their system sucks, even if it does. My friend still thinks the GC was better than the Ps2. This is mainly due to them never owning either of the two other consoles.

These individuals can be spotted by their gamespot icons.

You know, it is becoming the "In thing" to bash the Wii. There should be sticky. Yet people fail to realize that the PS3 had a much more abysmal 2007 compared to Wii's 2008. The PS3 did great this year, what makes you guys so sure the Wii won't. Especially after the very good early 09 lineup.

I own a 360 and Ps3 and I can easily say the PS3 sucks, due to it's lack of games. I also use to be a Ps2 only gamer and I can easily admit the Ps3 sucks when compared to the 360. Heck the N64 puts the GC and Wii to shame if you ask me.

I completely agree with this point! The wii had the potential to be the most unique system of this generation: a revolution in gaming if you will. However, time and time again all i see is the same carnival/minigame collection being spewed out by nintendo.

YES, we get it, the wii can mimic throwing balls and swinging bats! But does it even do THAT well? NO!

Frankly the term "gesture mashing' comes to mind.

Its like nintendo keeps trying to find ways to show off how well their system COULD work, but i mean after a year out its time to show what the system CAN do!

Come on nintendo, graphics isnt everything, but having unique controls for a game doesnt equate to good gameplay mechanics.

mines doing great, still play smash quite often actually. but id feel a lot worse if i bought a system that was as expensive as ps3 or xbox360 since nothing can take me away from Starcraft:Brood War for more than about a week. so yeah im happy that i havent wasted my money on multiple systems that i dont need. i'll stick to my game that has infinate replay value.

What, just because some people don't like playing First-Person Shooters, it means that they have low standards?
What gives you the right to say that someone has lower standards, just because they don't like the same stuff as you?

Theres more games coming out for the Wii but in terms of quality more come out for PS3 and 360. In the end the best games are going to be made for reasons because they are interested in a goal beyond money. Developing on a PS3 or 360 is the best way for most developers to achieve their vision.

Nintendo was not marketing N64 in Russia. So I got PS1. But thats not the point. If you like 360 or PS3 or PC, its your personal coice. I like the Wii so far.

Never got a Wii and I'm glad I didn't.

Not even an announced new LoZ, if there was one, with motion wiggle waggle controls can convince me to buy a Wii. And I love the LoZ franchise.

Seriously, how many threads are there going to be on this topic? Yeah, there aren't any AAA wii titles out for the holidays. But there are still really good titles out there for Wii-only owners. World of Goo, Tetris Party, De Blob, Guitar Hero World Tour, Brawl, and Okami are just some of the games available. And there is still no review for the new Animal Crossing and the Wii speak peripheral yet, it might do well. Otherwise, there are some good things coming next year anyway with the potential of Wii motion plus. Nintendo takes their time coming out with good titles, but they are usually worth the wait.
