What have they been playing ? when was the last big game out ? what do they play inbetween games, games such as Halo , Battlefield and Cod ?

I understand that galaxy 2, a new metroid game and Zelda are coming out, but beyond that, there really is nothing, all of the developers will jumped on the the PS move and Natal.

I have only played Gamecube games on my wii for the past year or so.

Tell me wii only owners, how do you do what you do ?

I have a Buddy, and his Grandma is a Wii Only owner.
She does Wii Fit and Animal Crossing (Women love that game) from time to time. Eh.

---------

Most other Wii owners I know have a PC/DS/PS2/PS3/360/PSOne to keep things exciting.

I don't know, do they exist? 'all the developers will jump on to the ps move and natal' :P I seriously don't think any wii owner is worried about this after the past few years. It'll get us some good laughs.

I've been pretty busy with university life, so I didn't even bring my Wii with me to school. I still have yet to play most of Metroid Prime Trilogy (half of 1 and all of 2 and 3), Super Mario Galaxy with Luigi, and Oboro: Muramasa.

The Wii has some great games, but they are released less consistently than those on the other two consoles and for the most part, they are relatively niche and don't receive a great deal of publicity. In essence, you really need to do your homework as a Wii-only owner and expand your tastes beyond Nintendo first party to be satisfied with the system.

While I at school, I have been catching up on some RPG's that I wanted to revisit from the SNES and PS era such as Chrono Trigger and FF IX.

No More Heroes 2, Tatsunoku Vs Capcom, Endless Ocean 2, Silent Hill, a ton of great games from the end of last years that System Wars ignored because they weren't "TEH AAA MEGATUNZ!", maybe those?

What is these Wii only people love their Wii and play it daily? They should be unhappy cause someone else chooses to have a different platform or a combination of them?

At this point, we don't even know whether Move or Natal will take off so I think that it is best that we hold off on where developers are or aren't going to go.

Japanophile has a pretty negative connotation...I enjoy Japanese entertainment and culture but I wouldn't consider myself a Japanophile by any means. I feel that a common misconception these boards is that the Wii is the only console that has those niche-type games. If anything, I would argue that niche titles on the 360 and PS3 have an even tougher time getting publicity because of the consistent release of big-name titles. On the Wii, the big-name titles are mainly Nintendo first party and then...lol.

I'm not a Wii Only owner I have a DSi. But The last game I bought for it was at Christmas and I bought Metroid Prime Trilogy, Beatles: Rock Band, Wii Sports Resort, 2000 Nintendo Points card I spent it on Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Donkey Kong Country 2.

I still need to buy New Super Mario Bros., No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, plan on buying Monster Hunter Tri, Preordered Sin & Punishment 2: Star Successor.

But when I don't have games for it to play I play my DSi I just bought Pokemon Heart Gold.

True. Game developers will always have to compete with the popular games on any console. As for niche, I do hope Yakuza 3 and 3D Dot Game Heroes have a measure of success here.

I have a Wii and I've been finding quite a bit of fun with it. My Gamecube collection (which is the console I have the most games for, despite the fact that N64 I liked much better) is playable on it. There's quite a few Virtual Console games to download. And nowadays, third party games are getting better, despite the fact they're quite niche.

I feel sorry for any single system owners this generation. They're missing out on so much. Anyone who plays games often should own at least two systems of any combo.

You don't have to buy the latest software you know..:? Games don't magically dissapear after 6 months. I'm not a Wii owner, but this is what I would do if the same thing happend on the PS3 or 360. I would just play the games I already have.

I know. But I don't know how. If I didn't have my 360 I'd be missing out on sooooo many good games. Feel all sad thinking about missing out on Halo 3, Gears 1+2, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect1+2, Orange Box, Bioshock1+2, Street Fighter 4, Assassin's Creed1+2, Bioshock1+2, COD4, Dead Rising, Batman Arkham Asylum, etc etc. All cIassics in my very humble opinion, and I could easily keep going. The only games I have on Wii that I would consider on that level are Zelda and Mario Galaxy. As someone who games a whole lot, that's a problem.

I have a friend who is a Wii-only owner and says that these games don't appeal to him. Oh, COD4 is on the Wii as well. Um,....there are more games than Zelda and mario.

That's fine for your friend but realistically I don't think too many people would look at that list and say none of them appeal. I could get COD4 on the Wii, if I wanted inferior graphics, sound, online, DLC, and to wait 2 years. And yes I know there's more than Mario and Zelda, the problem is none of them match Mario and Zelda.

True. I've played most of the games loco listed and honestly I could have lived without playing a lot of them. Those without a Wii are missing out on Muramasa, MPT and Other M, NMH 2, Little King's Story, Fire Emblem RD, and the best version of Silent Hill: SM.

Well, not every game appeals to everyone. Not many people care about graphics, sound and whatever garbage you listed. People, like me, care about gameplay and thats where COD4 wii excels at with it's controls. Weird, you should research then

Yep. Didn't you get the memo when you entered System Wars? We're only allowed to acknowledge mainstream blockbusters here, niche games with little to no hype don't exist here and nobody would want to play them if they did.

Garbage lol, what a great arguement. "Anything the Wii is terrible at is garbage and therefore it doesn't matter!". Believe what ya like so, I'll continue playing the tons of great 360 games being released, and the very occasional great Wii game. I enjoy gameplay as the most important factor as well, as a matter of fact. If you want to believe Endless Ocean is just as good in terms of gameplay as Bioshock or Mass Effect go right ahead lol.

LOL, the Wii isn't terrible at those factors, its just that the HD consoles do it BETTER, that does not mean that they're bad on the Wii. Alright, go ahead and game on the 360. Yes, I prefer Endless OCean over Bioshock and Mass Effect. Shocker? Yes, I know

Examples of Wii being bad: When the graphics aren't powerful enough to render the many enemies of Dead Rising/the many minions of overlord, thus making the gameplay inferior, that's a problem. When most 360 games get optional downloadable expansions, and Wii barely has a harddrive, that's a problem. When nearly every 360 game has online as standard, (even if it's just leaderboards), and **** all Wii games have it, that's a problem. When a headset comes free with 360, and Wii has only a barely used peripheral sold seperately, that's a problem. I would definately argue the Wii is "bad" in most areas, compared to 360. (or PS3 or whatever)

As for prefering Endless Ocean to Mass Effect, cool for you. I wonder if you'd be as uninterested if an epic Bioware RPG released on the Wii?

There is more in life than video games, they should be fine moreover if they bought a wii and chose to stick with it, its because their gaming needs were satisfied plain and simple.

Garbage lol, what a great arguement. "Anything the Wii is terrible at is garbage and therefore it doesn't matter!". Believe what ya like so, I'll continue playing the tons of great 360 games being released, and the very occasional great Wii game. I enjoy gameplay as the most important factor as well, as a matter of fact. If you want to believe Endless Ocean is just as good in terms of gameplay as Bioshock or Mass Effect go right ahead lol. locopatho
LOL, the Wii isn't terrible at those factors, its just that the HD consoles do it BETTER, that does not mean that they're bad on the Wii. Alright, go ahead and game on the 360. Yes, I prefer Endless OCean over Bioshock and Mass Effect. Shocker? Yes, I know

* Number of enemies on screen depends on the horsepower, not graphics. Thats why Dead Rising Wii is on a different engine. They wanted to make it look like RE4 than Dead Rising 360. I know the 360 version is better, but I liked the Wii version because of it's controls and resemblance to Re4. * The Wii can use an SD card to get DLC. The problem is with the Wii shop channel, not the Wii's memory. Games like MvC2 didn't come on the Wii because the Shop channel didn't all the memory of MvC2 to be available. Shop channel only supports 44 MB * Yes, 360's online is better, I don't get your point. I dont think NWFC is trying to compete. Wii Speak is now starting to get used, blame the developers. I buy good games, Endless OCean is one of my favorite games of this generation. If Bioware releases a good and interesting game on the Wii, then I would buy it.

Yeah agreed. I really wouldn't like surviving on just the Nintendo games and occasionally good 3rd party game.locopatho

Does this comment not bother anyone else?

There are people starving (STARVING) on this planet, and this guy is **** that he wouldn't be able to survive with ONLY one video game system.

Kinda shows how screwed up we are,as a race.

Get over yourself. This is a video games site, not a political one. I obviously mean "survive" in terms of games. If ya wanna talk more serious stuff, go to a more serious site.

Being a gamer isn't about how many games you play but the enjoyment you get from them.

The only games I have played on my PC in the last year are L4D1&2. I play Versus pretty much daily for several hours. FPS wise nothing else interests me anymore after that experience. Until other games offer a Versus mode where you can play story campaigns against human online players with an AI I am not really interested.

Wii wise I have lots of unfinished games, and games I would return to and play again.

What have they been playing ? when was the last big game out ? what do they play inbetween games, games such as Halo , Battlefield and Cod ?

I understand that galaxy 2, a new metroid game and Zelda are coming out, but beyond that, there really is nothing, all of the developers will jumped on the the PS move and Natal.

I have only played Gamecube games on my wii for the past year or so.

Tell me wii only owners, how do you do what you do ?

I totally understand. I'm with you dude.

i have both games and i have to say that i appreciate endless oceans approach to gaming a lot more.. but i also see why other people like mass effect.. (i stopped because i got bored with it.. but i see that the graphics are great and the story could be interesting) at the sametime i question how those two games are even comparable when endless ocean is all about exploring the ocean and mass effect is all about roleplaying in space
