[QUOTE="Videodogg"]Do any of you feel this way? I feel like i was suckered into believing the Wii was a real video gamers system. Was it the hype? Was it the rabid enthusism of of mis-guided nintendo fans. Was it the oddly persuading "Wii want to Play" commercials. I dont know. But no more for me. This fantasy has got to stop. I sold my Wii and DS today to purge myself of anything Nintendo. I just dont understand how anyone can stand behind and support this system. PS3 and 360 deserve gamers dollars, not this abomination called Wii. Senor_Kami
I think you're an idiot if you expected anything more than what the Wii has given. What was the last Nintendo console didn't support itself solely from HQ first party titles (which the Wii has given you in spades... even a game of the year from one of its core titles)? Yeah, it was the SNES. People expecting more than what the Wii is doing basically ignored the last 15 years of Nintendo consoles and based everything off of the SNES.
Nintendo systems live and die by Nintendo games. Every blue moon they get a decent 3rd party game, but thats just how Nintendo systems work. If you won't be satisfied with:
Mario platformer, Zelda, Smash, Pikmin, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, etc then theres no reason to buy a Nintendo console and there hasn't been a real reason since the SNES. Nothing new here, just people living in fantasy land while ignoring the reality of Nintendo's history with home consoles.
Anyways, sell me your Wii for $150. Thats probably a hell of alot more than what Gamestop will pay you for it. For some reason, idiot gamers think Gamestop is god because they give you $20 for a game thats worth $60 and that they will sell for $55. Despite the fact that even a 4 year old can see that $20 is nowhere near $60 or $55.
Yeah, i got screwed at Gamespot, but cumulatively i got a little over $600 in store credit with the trade in ( i had lots of games ). So i pre-purchased in full 13 games that are comming out for ps3 and the 360 over the next 4 months; REAL GAMES like Fall Out 3, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Resistance 2 , etc, etc. I dont know what you will be playing on the Wii this holiday season...but good luck to you, i want nothing to do with it.
