Is the Nintendo Wii worth buying?

I would wait a bit. I sold mine because outside of games made by Nintendo they don't have much. Not sure why no one can make a good game for the Wii besides Nintendo.

 As of now (but might change) you will get a system with good controls (on select games only), bad graphics (when compared to MS and Sony), and no online.

If you don't care about graphics then wait for some good games and online support. If that comes then go for it. I have always been a fan of Nintendo, and it is nice to see that the Wii is doing well (my gamecube got almost no playtime).

By the time it gets a good library you might even find it at a lower price.

I think the Wii is worth buying if they can bring over the talents that the DS has like iNis and others.

I think right now, sure, it has a good summer ahead with Pokemon, Mario Party, and Mario Strikers Charged.

Go to the board of a popular upcoming game like Halo 3 and make statements about how awful it is based on some doctored screenshots. You'll be up to your neck in high-level Angry Fans, which may prove to be a difficult raid, but I hear that if you somehow manage to beat them all, you get lots of exp, and a 4% drop chance for the 6th item required to make the artifact 'Right Gauntlet of Unbalancing Ownage'.

Say what you want about the PS3, but its sixaxis functions lightyears ahead of the Wii remote for reliability. SkyCastleDan

No, son.  Just...no.

All you get with the Wii that's new in comparison to the last-gen Gamecube is a new controller. The graphical improvement is minimal at best and so far, there's no real online experience (I'd wait for that). The Mii's are a fun concept, granted, but limited in what you can do with them in terms of playability and creation. The software available for the system so far is really just what you'd see on the gamecube or any other Nintendo system and garbage. Seriously, the only title close to being considered AAA on the Wii is Zelda. Aside from that, you've got a WiiSports and Wario Ware that are good games, but you better have company or a few brothers and/or sisters to make those games fun.

And what's the year's biggest releases for the Wii? Why, none other than Mario, Super Smash Bros. and Metroid. Sorry, but you know that Smash Bros. will just be the same game it was on gamecube outside of the controls and the same goes for Metroid. As for Mario, how much more can you take? His last 3D console platformer (Sunshine) was a bust.....and there's Strikers, Doctor, Tennis, Golf, Kart, blah blah blah.....and you know that just like Gamecube, Mario will be the only thing worth buying on this system eventually.

I don't think it's worth your money to pay for something you may already have. It is really just a gamecube with a motion sensivitive controller and trust me, for the hours I've played it with my friends, that motion sensor does not like work very well all the time. Say what you want about the PS3, but its sixaxis functions lightyears ahead of the Wii remote for reliability. Sorry, but the Wii's not worth it unless you've got a constant flow of people coming in and out of your house and all you really want to play is multiplayer. Outside of that, I really think people are wasting their money and time with this system. I'm not saying go buy a PS3 either, cause everyone and their mother should wait until at least Lair to even think about that to see if Sony finally lives up to their promises. I really do think the X360 is the only system worth the buy still even though the other two have been in existance for 6 months plus already.....

You know that you have no clue what you're talking about? SSBBwill not have any motion-sensing controls, and it will have online play. The latter is good enough reason to get it for most people.

i have a wii and honestly it doesnt occupy me much. i think im just not a real big fan of waving my arms around for everything. im playing a video game cuz i dont want to move. it is loads of fun if you have other people there, but sitting alone waving your arms gets old. so think about how you will use your wii. the $250 price tag does tend to suck you incliff122316

and why do you wave your arms for everything :roll: you just a flitch of a wirst nothing more nothing else :|
