it's not that i am a "graphics whore" but i cant lie to myself anymore by telling myself that the Wii is #1... i havent touched the thing in months, only one upcomming game catchs my eye (ssbm). Also... the graphics Are worse then a gamecube  IMO(lazy ass devs) the ps3 and 360 have games that suit my interest. and with sony's game day, im now sold and getting one in june.(already own a 360).The wii is just... boring, and i have to admit, the wii mote is nothing like what I pictured in my mind when Nintendo first discribed it. I guess ebay here i come... (btw i own zelda warioware, redsteel,exitetruck,truama center farcry, sonic, and wii sports) so dun say that the reason is because i got crap games.

The only reason I played the GC was because of SSBM.  Mario has been destroyed and Zelda has been remade too many times.  SSBB is basically the main thing for Wii.

heh, good thing I gave up on looking for a wii months ago.  Supply shortages and no Metroid Prime:Corruption makes me feel like I've made the right decision.

I'm still waiting for games to feed the Wii. It's eating dust right now. The virtual console is nothing but food for oldschool gamers.

You knew what games were released and what games were coming in the close future and you decided purchased it anyway, who's to blame? Wii had much better games for the first months than the Ps2 and Ps1 did, i can tell you that. The Only console that delivered many awesome titles at launch was the DC.

 

Is like buying the 360 and complain:

"Where are the adventure games and plataformers?

Kameo? I rented it and beat it!

Im only interested in for Blue Dragon and Banjoo!"

"Duh, why you bought it then? You could have waited until those games were released you know."

Yes, run from Disneyland and come to the darkside.

I think the Wii is great if you like the Mario and Zelda games, at least as far as I can see.  Other than that, it's only a cool tool for entertaining guests at a party.  It kind of reminds me of DanceRevolution, I just get no satisfaction dancing with myself rofl.  If I'm going to play a game that is multiplat, its going to be on PS3 or X360.  Spiderman is a good example, a bad game made twice as bad when playing it on the Wii.  The only thing I like about the Wii right now is the $249 pricetag and the hopeful future of holding a virtual lightsaber decapitating a stormstrooper.

IMHO there is no possible way for someone who calls himself a true gamer to only buy a Wii this generation. It offers so much to the casual market, but so little to hardcore gamers...

Be smart, get a 360 or a Ps3. The Wii alone can't sustain you.

Much like the Gamecube, I can see myself buying no more than 2 or so games for the Wii per year... anmd they will most likely all be 1st party.  I really question weather or not the 3rd party issues have been resolved.

It offers more to the hardcore than what the Ps2/Ps1/N64/GC did by his time on their life.

so wait TC your impressed with what the Ps3 has from there gamers day.  the hype went up for the ps3, cause of there gamers day. you do know nintendo is having one too next week, right? the reason why youre disappointed with the wii so far, is cause theres hardly any great game for it right now

super paper mario was its latest, theres till more to come. if youre gonna say your disappointed in your wii, atleast wait till Nintendo gamers day is past, then you decide.

super paper mario is NOT that great a game... I have played through all the other ones which were great, but this is just a rehash of the last with a new game play style... all the music! the music is very annoying! I cant even bring myself to go beyond the kragons stage because every level is the same thing, back forth back forth back forth... why do I have to keep going back to beginning.....then the retarted part were I have to right down a 35 part list of arrow commands to open up a pipe!? gimme a break... why is this games idea of gameplay having to fill an entire notebook page with directions on how to finish the game.

 Im looking forward to 3rd party wii games that will come from atlus later next year ( not announced yet)... but without HD it kinda feels old.

 

 

I agree that the Wii cannot sustain a gamer.... I use it mostly for looking at wikipedia. but will start playing again when the rush of JRPGS gets released on the wii within the next two years.

im tired of gamers saying that the wii cant sustain a gamer. a true gamer doesnt own one console.  no one console can please a gamer, unless hes fanboy. last gen i owned 2 console and still wasnt pleased with owning just 2.

no single console can feed the need of a gamer today. the only way a person would only want one console, is because there a dedicated fanboy to that particular console. the wii, like the ps3 and xbox360 as a stand alone console isnt the way to go. if you have a xbox360 and just that you'll be missing out on games on the ps3 and wii, get where im getting here?

seriously? never heard of em. my definition of a "true gamer" is someone who has been gaming for atleast 15, if not 20+ years, who enjoy playing video games, thats on any console. hes also the type that must own every console out there, to add to his forever growing collection of video game consoles. a true gamer isnt loyal to a curtain console brand either.

For the price of the Ps3 you could have bought all the 3 last gen consoles.

I'd suggest getting a 360 along with your wii.  The PS3 has even less to offer than the Wii and its bene out for the same amount of time...

ps3 360 is the way to go. dcm06


personally speaking. thats a dumb move for someone who isnt full with money. 600 console + 400 console +60 dollar games... yeah, good move.

if i was to pick.. i would definitly pic wii and another console. i always went with sony and nintendo, but this gen im thinking nintendo and microsoft, since microsoft is the second cheepest console, then again i been hearing too much of the ring of death. i still havent decided between the ps3 and the xbox360. no console is worth 600 dollars to me, none.

hardly.  This guy is just in a funk with his console.  That's fair, especially if you play video games a lot.  Truth is, that TC will probably come back to the wii eventually.  It isnt fair to judge the wii this early in its lifecycle, in comparing it to a year old system like the 360.  Other than that, this thread is just attracting everyone who usually takes potshots at the wii.

i was accually thinking that, sell it now, put the money towards ps3 (as i have already stated i have a 360)  then buy the ps3 and get a wii again in about 2 years.

Edit: btw none shout "$600 system omfg" cause money luckily isnt an issue for me atm.

Or you could own (gasp!) more then one system like nearly all gamers do. Only the casuals (who don't post here) only own one system.
