Yet it actually holds a more unique library and arguably the best one of the three. The Wii also sold the best and will go down as the winner of this gen. Is the hate jealousy?

It has some great exclusives, but it misses out on a lot of multiplats. It's a perfect console to compliment a HD console or a PC.

Nintendo made a flattened Gamecube with motion controls, and it turned out to be a money printer.There's really nothing to bash.

Some people just prefer gaming with a standard joypad. And some people dislike the lack of HD support.

But like last gen, Nintendo has failed to attract many third-party devs. However, the Wii's exclusive lineup is superb.

I don't see that much Wii bashing. Even if I did, there's really no need to make a three-sentence topic about it.

There's really nothing to discuss.

I disagree. It's far from my main console or system, but it compliments them nicely.

The Wii was a monstrous commercial success, no one with half a brain will even attempt to challenge that. As far as critical success goes... well there's room for argument here. Take a moment to think: What if the only gaming system you owned was a Wii. Or, if your only gaming system was a Wii, let me just ask you a question. Did this past year make you want to buy something else?

PC?

If you have a PC powerful enough to make Wii games look like this on an emulator, you would have no use for a Wii:

Xenoblade? If you count it as a 2012 American "exclusive." It has already been released this year in other parts of the world.

And yes, it is a fine game that deserves its critical acclaim.

wasn't Xenoblade a principle reason why so many people were upset with Nintendo? Was it this game or another one where they weren't even planning on releasing it in NA at all?

That's the one. It turned out to be utterly fantastic, and NoA decided to troll NA. It seems to be coming as a GS exclusive now.

The Wii-U will, hopefully, be what the Wii should've been for me. I agree, it works as a great compliment console, but the Wii missed out on way to many of the good Multiplats this gen.

I agree. It's just that, for me, The Wii was deprived of a lot of the best franchises this gen (Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham, Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect) so I can agree with TC that the Wii has the best library. :P

i wouldnt be happy with just a wii but at the same time i would unhappy without one. im currently enjoying xenoblade...its eating my life. even SS has been put to one side and i love zelda games. it really is one of those games where it feels like a privelage to be able to play it. its not perfect or anything but a dam fine game that was clearly loved through its development. wiiu and PC for me next gen. i will see how the 720 and PS4 go.

Wii is garbage, it has some of the worst iterations of nintendo's biggest franchises and it's library isn't even 1/2 that of the HD twins.

I like these systems don't get me wrong but straight up honesty with you, after how much people told me I was missing this gen with just a Wii, now going through the twin lineup I cannot for the life of me figure out why U2 is "the best of gen" or why I want to play 1 of 3 versions of bioshock. I don't give a shiit about those types of games. They were never the types of games that made me love gaming, light hearted games were always what I enjoyed with an emphasis on gameplay over EVERYTHING. You could hand me a PSP and I wouldn't struggle to find games I want to play like I am with the PS3. They exist but its not the same. The system is a perfect compliment to my wii, its a great system but these god tier multiplats. . . well I stopped adoring bro games when I turned . . . well I "never" adored bro games to begin with, lets put it like that.

There's nothing unreasonable about all that. I love a lot of the exclusives and multiplats, though there are certainly some I could leave well enough alone.

I do love some light-hearted games every once in a while. It's refreshing.

Do you really need me to list off ALL the exclusives and multiplats (not on Wii), that make worthwhile purchases much more common? It won't be pretty.

Eh, not as good as this year, but much than nothing, one game, or anything like that. Nowhere near crappy games material.

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] lol, my Wii is just there for the occasional Nintendo game that comes out that i actually want to play. Worthwhile releases are pretty rare on it, while multiplats make them plentiful on PS3/360/PC.

really what games are better on your ps3 than the wii?

even Yakuza 4 trumps the entire Wii library.

Lol, see its stuff like this where I just shake my head. The Wii has tons of great games, Yakuza 4 is a middle of the pack niche game that isn't very good by most accounts.
