I freed myself from the Wii. Now i see clearer.

For 1 year i burdened myself with the evil Wii. I tried to convince myself that the games were fun and the motion controller was innovative. I struggled through blurry graphics and dozens of "party" games and unusable controls features to adapt to Nintendos retro casual vision of the video game world.

But i broke free. I sold my Wii over the weekend....and now i feel.........great.

No more staring at walls of shovel ware and wondering if i i should waste $20 on that new pool, bowling, fishing, duck hunting or dog or cat training game.

No more buying a multiplat EA sports game and trying to convince myself, that despite the crappy graphics, the game play is somehow better because of the Wiimote ( when in fact its much worse ).

No more wasting my time trying to enjoy primitive online games like MoHH2, when clearly i have MUCH better choices available to me on the 360 or even my PS3.

I am Free.

that's weird because for years i tried to convince myself that i was enjoying each new iteration of shooters, that shinier graphics were good enough to for me enjoy myself and that games weren't stagnating, i was just changing (i guess)

then i got a wii and realized i didn't always have to worry about the most awesome guns or highest poly counts i could just relax and have fun with a game at the end of my day, a pure and simple game, nothing more nothing less

wii brought me back

I'm sorry you're not in the position to own more then one console.

Hopefully the next console choice you make will be researched well enough so you feel content with your purchase afterwards.

Good luck.

Yeah I feel like I wasted nearly two years hyping it. Now I've opened up to other platforms and I feel like an idiot for being so blind in the past.

You know you can still have an opinion without doing countless amounts of research.

Then there's always the factor of being led astray. Wii seems cool at first for many many people, then the buzz of the controller wears off and they realise they've been duped. What they thought was a great concept really doesn't do anything for the gaming scene at the core, your left with the worst library of the generation with a tacky input device.

Sounds like what this guy has experienced, all flash no substance in a manner of speaking.

Names those games please. Please name me the dozens of these so called party games.

join the club.. wii has some worthwhile games, but its still a grandma platform.. its like comparing all the casuals that buy toyota cameras vs my vette... most people cant handle the power of real gaming.Bdking57

I bought a wii knowing that there would only be a few worth while games, just like the GC. Mario galaxy was the only game I have enjoyed so far. Prime 3 I am trying to like, I almost beat it {just be ridley} but this game is just not that fun. The wii is selling good but the games suck compared to the ps3 and 360. Yea it got a GOTY but thats the only game worth playing, it better be GOTY...

I hope you free yourself from the PS3 too , time to embrace your fanboyism and go purebreed.

Thats true, I have all three consoles so the wii's lack of games does not bother me. I bought it the few games I couldnt get anywhere else. anboys must not have much money or told mommy to get the wrong console. There is no reason for all the Trash we get in SW's.

I personally own a 360/PS3 and see absolutely no reason for a Wii. Granted, SMG is a great game but it needs more then that for me to buy it. More Nintendo titles worth playing to be specific (I already beat Zelda on a buddies Wii). It sells alot, no doubt, but the games are very limited in termsof varietyand in terms of quality. Very few standout titles at this point, they just need more.

Although, if i already owned a Wii, i would definitely not sell it. You lose to much when you sell a console in terms of money. Should've just let it sit there as alot do until the next Nintendo title comes out which is SSBB in a few weeks.

The PS3 is hanging in there as a blu ray movie player, so its really not in competition with my 360 as a dedicated game player.

Well, I have to disagree with your statement that the Wiimote and "really doesn't do anything for the gaming scene."

I just hope that gamepads and motion controls can coexist one day, because I think there is value in both. Gamepads are definitely the most versatile, but I think in the future, control types will be quite diverse so that we can have a wide range of games.

While Wii Sports is not really a great game, I think the basic concepts behind the controls are pretty cool, and the control is what really defines the game.

And on another note, cwhat fun areDDRand Rock Band with a regular controller?

What is the point of this thread? This should have been a blog instead. If the Wii didn't live up to your personal expectations I really don't care.

you couldnt have until until ssbb came out :|

thats the only reason i have a wii

good job

for me i have had enough of first party nintendo titles, so i have no reason to buy a wii

I just... need BRAWL! *twitch*

Then it will all be worth it... yes, yes... worth it, indeed. *twitch* *twitch*

Welcome to the next plane my friend. Nintendo does reside on that lower plane with its good releases but you know that they are the only ones releasing anything good on that plane, and the only reason why they are holding you down there is to support their primitive system which exacerbates their greed tp support their primitive product, next level, hopefully Nintendo will come too.

hmm, something about that manner of speech seems eerily familiar. Oh my god, he's a born again christian!

Hmm right before No More Heroes, SSBB and Mario Kart.

What a FANTASTIC time to sell ur wii.

Yeah and the wii is not evil. I find that Nintendo games are still better than everything else.

Oh and I guess you wont be playing the next Zelda or Paper Mario then. Honestly the wii will have some unbelievable games in its lifetime and I would NEVER consider selling it.

Congratulations. The first step to getting help is realizing that you need help. I commend you, brother.

Nice to hear that you read about the Wii before you bought it...

The Wii makes a great second console... SMG, RE: 4 and Zack & Wiki have made the system a worthwhile purchase for me (and use the Wiimote Beautifully). I would never expect a game like Madden to be better on the Wii than the 360 or PS3.tm0054

Madden 07 was.

OH GOD! A new Mario Kart game??? YAAAAY!!!! Oh man, I wouldn't live without another game involving plumbers, toad-headed freaks, and tiny dinosaurs racing on go-carts around a way too colorful world. I just love it. Seriously, though....Mario Kart was fun back on the 64. Back then I was younger and played it every day after school with my dad. When Double Dash came out, we got that, and it just didn't stick like the other one did. It's just not fun anymore. The SSB games continue to decline in gameplay as each issue comes out. The more complicated and the more stupid character ideas they continue to add, the worse the game gets. Not even going to comment on NMH. But the last Zelda and Paper Mario games just came out. Like...it would have to be a while before the next ones come out. If I really want to play Twilight Princess, I'll rent it on my Gamecube, which will go down in history as Nintendo's last great system. I don't want to flail my arms around while playing a game. The gimmick wears off quickly. You're barely controlling any of the characters movements. You're trading in a substantially better looking game for something that BARELY enhances the gameplay at all, and sometimes even makes it worse. The parts in Super Mario Galaxy where the whole innovative bull**** about the Wii comes into play are the worst parts of the game. No thank you. Not worth the time or money.
