Since there aren't any new games to buy, I've been buying older Wii and Gamecube games that cost 20 bucks or less. Right now I'm enjoying Super Mario Sunshine, and after that I'll get Okami and Luigi's Mansion. And in the long run it's saving me money since those 3 games cost as much as a new PS3 or 360 game.

Indeed. It gave me an excuse to buy a PS3.

Demon's Souls is rather difficult.

A gaming drought is not a good thing. Nintendo needs to get more games pumping out.

Good for you. I won't be experiencing a drought because Nintendo of Europe is catering to me.

Thats good for you, really but there are many Wii owners that are caught up on GC gaming and Wii gaming. They want new games, too bad they wont get any.

As I have said multiple times, perhaps we all deserve to see a software-only Nintendo.

I own the four major systems, and I am still biased in favour of the PC.

And as I said multiple times, it's better Nintendo leaves gaming before that happens (taking all their IPs with them), especially after what happened with that announcement and that reaction.

Bro, you serious? :lol:

I own a Wii, DS and 3DS.

Got like 20 Wii games.

I admit I may game a bit too much, but when a game I want comes out, I go and buy it, and usually beat it not long after. So the draught sucks for those of us who play games when they come out. Not sure why playing games when they come out makes me a nintendo hater. :|

I did this for about 6 months before I bought my Wii and PS3. I was playing all the old PS2 and Gamecube games I had yet to play, and I actually played a few of those very same games you list (Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Double Dash, Okami, Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil Zero, Dragon Quest VIII among many others). I was getting PS2 games on ebay for like $2.

That being said, the Wii is dead. There's almost nothing left. For me the only thing that would MAYBE make me bust it out again is Zelda, but it's taken so long and the Wii has been dead (for me personally) for so long, that I don't really see myself even getting Zelda.

It's sucks for all the people that rushed out and bought the games full price to support the devs/publishers, only to get left with nothing to play. Everyone is attack xbox for having no games at this E3, but honestly what does wii have? more remakes and spin offs/ports? Go google how many ports/remakes the wii has had. In one christmas season, they released 6-7 remakes in a matter of months. If MS or Sony did this, people would **** all over their heads... why is it ok when nintendo does it? Im sorry, but the wii is the last nintendo console i will ever own unless they really start to make some games.. and a new IP once in a while couldnt hurt.. i mean seriously, mario is great and all but SOMETHING NEW. there are like 190 mario branded games in existance, lets make something new nintendo. ... i would bet everything i own that nintendo will never create a new character/franchise that becomes successful, and i honestly dont think they would even try at this point.

If you have a backlog of games to play through, then sure, it's pretty good not having to worry about new game releases. For folks who've been buying games consistently throughout the system's lifetime, well, they must be feeling pretty burned right now. I know I am.

Would their quality be the same on non-Nintendo systems? I doubt it. It could hurt them as developers.

I admit that they might have a shaky start, but if they turn to the right people to help them, they can make solid games for the PC and consoles.

im not sure bro... all you do is troll sytem wars and ive seen you post a bunch of anti nintendo stuff.. all your reviews are for ps3/360..

my bad.

what your 20 wii games btw...im still curios what a sytem warrior has.

I don't troll. :|

Not being satisfied with a product I own is not trolling. Where have I ever said anything that was so wrong or out of place that it was trolling? I challange you to find a single example. It is more likely you took something out of context. I've always loved Nintendo, but to not be dissapointed with some of their practices lately would be weird.

I got most of my Wii games put away right now, but off the top of my head, Boy and his Blob, Zack and Wiki, Boom Blox, Wii Sports Resort, Sonic Colors, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Arc Rise Fantasia, Metroid Other M, Goldeneye, Mario Kart.

This is why System Wars is pretty disgusting, fanboys will defend a company to death like they own 100% stock in it, and saying ANYTHING against it makes you a troll.

For the record, I did most of my collection and games on gamespot when I first signed up in 2008, I got a Wii in 2008, most of it is before I owned one.

I like the Wii drought because it really shwos the true colors of the Wii. Without its first party support it quickly becomes a paperweight since its 3rd party support is nearly non existent.

At least with the soon-to-be-one-year 360 drought without a single exclusive there have been dozens of multiplatforms games to play

everyone in system wars is a troll and the fact that you practically live here means your a master troll...i bow down to your powers lol..

Seriously? :|

There are a lot of level headed, good posters on SW, 110million being one of them. Is it wrong to be unsatisfied with the state of a console that you have bought or everyone always just look at everything through rose colored glasses?

The major diffrence with nintendo platforms is when there is no 1st party games to play you have to go to the bargin bin. On the ps3 for example you get exclusives but also good 3rd party support. So even if sony does not have a game for you the 3rd parties got you covered. This is why I am a pc gamer 1st there is no shortage of games,mods and people to play online.

if those really are your wii games then it seems you didnt really get any motion control heavy games...seems your hating on nintendo this gen because you think motion controls are wierd..

whatever.

I didn't list all of them, just what came to mind at the time. I have No More Heroes 1 and 2 and Red Steel 2. The motion controls are fine in those games, but they are pretty lacking in Nintendo first party games. Both galaxy games would be just as good had they been left out. I'm in SW because I like argument, but I also hate fanboyism, I am part of GUFU (the union in my sig) because I have some amount of level-headed-ness. Also, I'm primarily a PC gamer and the platform I've likely hated most on was the 360. It isn't good to assume.
