Is the Wii your last Nintendo system?

For me I think it is.
All I'm going to say about it is that Nintendo has shown me more or less what to expect from a Nintendo console; and it's not for me.
I've had a Nintendo system every gen since the NES (minus the N64), and I got to say it's been quite mediocre since I came back with the GC.

At least the GC could be compared to the competition fairly, butNintendo is so technologally behind this time I don't even have time to sneeze in its direction.
Plus I don't like the way Mario games have been for about the last 10 years, and all my favorite Nintendo franchises have not shown much real progress at all. It's as if I'm going to have to wait another 5 gens before I get a Mario Kart that actually progresses the series. I can forgive the hardware, but the games aren't as special as they used to be.
I don't even care what they're announcing for the next gen, I'm passing.
Anyone else?

Nope. The Wii was my first Ninty console and I think I'll stick around.

meh, i loved the NES and gameboy, but skipped the SNES, N64 and Gamecube because they didn't offer anything i was looking forward to

later on, i regretted not playing the games on these systems, so at the very least i will put the effort in to check out each new nintendo system in the future

No? Did you ever think this was only a phase for Nintendo? I will always buy Nintendo products. I will laugh when somehow Nintendo pulls off being the best console next-gen and you have to miss out on it because you don't buy Nintendo consoles anymore. :P

I might not get the Wii2 but I'm definitely getting the 3DS.BattleTurtles

Yeah, handheld is a whole nother story. Nintendo has the best portable gaming on the planet.

As of now yes. The system has to have games I want before I buy it so yeah, until it has what I want I gotta assume it is. That said, I don't see myself not finding anything I want to play especially with my taste in games.

They'd have to get the magic back with their 1st party line-up to get me back.

Probably not.

LOL. hell no.

Maybe Nintendo is magical... I dont know, Nintendo makes it so hard for me to defend them.

Why judge a company on one product. Just because the snes was fantastic no ones gonna go out and buy every console since the snes ... likewise even if I dont find the wii to my liking whos to say nintendo and Sony/M$ dont end up flip flopping. I'm not gonna lock myself out of a potentially good console in teh future just because this gen Nintendo doesn't do it for me .... silly idea. so NO i will not lock myself into a silly statement like this.ColdfireTrilogy

Sounds like the Wii is the first time Nintendo let you down. So I understand what you're saying.
But in my case I've been thoroughly dissapointed by the N64, the GC fell short, and the Wii I already complained about.
In my case, that's over a decade of not-good-enough.

Far from it. If you asked me that last gen with the Gamecube, I would have said yes. Nintendo is back with the Wii.

If Nintendo doesn't get its **** together next gen, then yes it is.

If Wii 2 is this bad then I probably won't buy another Nintendo console again. Hopefully the 3DS is an indication of their future and Wii 2 is 3D compatible.

I think Nintendo's learned their lesson with the Wii. That accessible games sell, and people want hardcore games. The've already started to clean up their act with a summer of great titles and a promise of a new Zelda. If the next console can't stand up to the competition, then I might reconsider. But as of now, I'll look forward to a new Nintendo console with a brighter future (but not Wii Sports brighter).

For me I think it is.

Not a chance. The Wii won me back to Nintendo after the N64 and Gamecube lost me.

Altough the the Wii isnt my favorite Nintendo console it has some of my favorite games like Galaxy (IMO best mario game ever). SNES was the best by far. To answer your question yes i will buy the next console because Nintendo has always made the best first party titles, and will continue to. As long as their first party IP's exist i will buy their games and hardware. Im hoping though that Nintendo makes their next console easier to develop for, and not have these weird fixed-function, TEV, balrgity, blargitty junk etc, etc. You get my point, better hardware so that devs arent intimidated to make games for it, and if a port is planned at least it will be a good looking port lol.

More than likely. I've supported them every generation since I was born and I think I'm about done with them. I'll probably go with a PS4/PC combo next gen.

i agree. i would've bought it just for the metroid prime games but thankfully it had alot of great exclusives.

I'd go out on a limb and say it's not even close to my last Nintendo system.

So did I. I loved my GC. I still bust it out from time to time to play some.

Unless the next nintendo system is as horrible as the virtua boy then no

It's hard to imagine something Nintendo could do that would make me not buy their system. They may do some stuff I don't like, but I'm not gonna miss out on their big franchises.

GCN was my last one. I've had them all, the 64 is all I still have.

This thread is ridiculous.

We don't know what the next console is. How the hell do I know if I'll want Nintendo's new non-existant console?

And if people already say they're going to buy it, then they're fanboys.

idk i dont have a crystal ball or what games are coming out for the next nintendo console. who knows i may not buy the next nintendo console and buy the one after that

the N64 was my last Nintendo system...

jsut can't really convince myself to get one...

I will probably get a 3DS in its second generation. I might get a wii when i can get its big name games for $5 and the system for $50.

Of course not, as long as I get Nintendo's 1st party games, I'll stick with them.

Basically, I'm asking if we're all happy customers here or not. It's kind of an implied question.
After 10 years of disappointment, and degrading software, I don't see myself willing to shell out for another Nintendo system.

The gameboy color was my last Nintendo system. Unless they just develop something so mind-blowingly awesome that I HAVE to buy a new Nintendo.

Why would I turn my back on Mario, Metroid and Zelda games? I've never had a bad time playing one of those.

Only if they deliver with the Wii when it's all said and done.

Not at all. I'm having tons of fun with mine. Even if I weren't, the other console is shockingly another console, things could change a lot from one gen to another.

And talking about the wii, it's the best system i ever had to play along with my girlfriend, and i really enjoy playing it. Although i still prefer the PS3 games to play alone or online.

No, I will certainly buy another Nintendo console if it seems worth it.
