only reason to own/play wii is if you like mario/zelda/metroid
just as it was the only reason to own/play game cube and nintendo 64

Hey, N64 had Rare games, did you know that Rare made 6 AAAs on there. Well, that's pretty much it...

And let's not forget that some Rare games are allowed on the Wii, but it's just mainly with Donkey Kong Country, and I'm just fine with that.

Perfect Dark would be worth it alone, too bad that won't happen.

The wii was an awesome console at launch with a large quantity of titles coming from Nintendo themselves, but is there any drive left for this console? The sale for the consoles was probably due to the new unique controller but now its just a big fat joke. Nintendo doesnt seem to supporting the console all that great either....i mean Wii Music? Wii Fit? whats next? Wii fart? Wii Eat? Wii touch?

All the hyped games havnt even done that well, such as that Day of Distaster, and Madworld.

Wheres my damn sequals Ninty, i seen 2 gears of war games in the lifespan its taken for you to release a bloody new Zelda :x

Anyone sick of there console?

As a party console, it is unbeatable !

As a single-player console, not so much BUT right now i'm playing Tenchu 4 and Dead Rising and those two games are really fun !

[QUOTE="Sonic_on_crack"]yes and while you cant play those couple of games with either PS3 or 360 you get a FAAAAAAR better variety of 3rd party games games that cant even be developed for the Wii , dont you think theres a reason PS3 and 360 both have almost 20 AAA's while Wii hasnt broken 10 yet :? ...789shadow

And exactly why can't they be developed for Wii???Unless of course you count a graphical downgrade as a fatal flaw...:roll:

Let's say that Bethesda ports Fallout 3 to the WII. Due to the lack of power of the WII, there's not only gonna be a Graphical downgrade. The Game World would have to be reduced by at least 50% (destroying some cool areas and Sidequests), the Draw distance would be hampered (you won't see DC from the Vault 101 entrance from the beginning), the atmosphere would be hampered (AKA, it wouldn't feel exactly like a Waste Land), etc. Bassicly, the game would be BUTCHERED when compared to the other Versions. So there's not only a downgrade in graphics when you try to port big games to the WII.

Notice I didn't say all games could be done on the Wii,but the vast majority could.

Depends on who you ask if there is a reason to own a Wii. For gaming elitists, of course the answer is no. For casuals and hardcore gamers, well, the numbers speak for themselves.

I used to defend the wii a lot. Lately there has been no games that interest me. I've had the system since launch and although the wii's first few quarters were good the good games just stopped coming. I mean the amount of AAA exclusives and AAA non exclusives on the ps3 has brought me back to gaming. (I also wish i had a 360 because of their exclusives as well) The wii can't handle the complexity of a lot of the games coming out nowadays. Not just graphics but in game engines like physics, or a.i. or the amount of enemies on screen. The wii has rehashes coming out but not much else. Something original and worthwhile would be great for the wii, but it looks grim for a long time.

MadWorld and Conduit will likely solve that problem.

The wii was an awesome console at launch with a large quantity of titles coming from Nintendo themselves, but is there any drive left for this console? The sale for the consoles was probably due to the new unique controller but now its just a big fat joke. Nintendo doesnt seem to supporting the console all that great either....i mean Wii Music? Wii Fit? whats next? Wii fart? Wii Eat? Wii touch?

All the hyped games havnt even done that well, such as that Day of Distaster, and Madworld.

Wheres my damn sequals Ninty, i seen 2 gears of war games in the lifespan its taken for you to release a bloody new Zelda :x

Anyone sick of there console?

No I'm not sick of it. There are more good games out there on the Wii other than the big name fp Nintendo games you know.

I don't understand how some posters call themselves "hardcore" gamers when all they play are the blockbuster mainstream shooters and fp Nintendo titles. The real involved gamers play those titles AND off the beaten path niche games as well.

Those posters who are calling themselves hardcore are not hardcore gamers, but rather elitist. Elitist is a better definition for these kind of fanboys as proven in the dictionary: 1) The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. 2) The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class, or so the group thinks

I own mine for ProEvo Soccer, which uses the Wii controls brilliantly. Best soccer game on any console - both single player and multi.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]

[QUOTE="789shadow"]Yes, because only games with sex and violence are mature.:roll:789shadow


Games with adult themes and explicit, contextually sound expression of those themes are distinctively more mature than ones without. Gore for the sake of gore and sex for the sake of sex is not mature. Contextualizing that gore and sex within a story riddled with adult themes and things only adults will understand makes a game "mature."

Please don't pretend that that's what he meant by "mature" games. And besides,are you trying to tell me that Twilight Princess or Okami aren't mature games??

Give me a break, 789shadow. By mature, I don't mean by sex, etc. I could care less about that.

Thanks to foxhound fox for understanding.
