I've had my Wii for about 6 weeks and I'm bored to tears with it. I have Wii sports & Metroid 3. Wii sports was fun but its too shallow so I've lost interest in it. Metroid is nothing but shooting bad AI enemies, running around the same level for 2 hours (backtracking) & morphing into a ball to get places... I just got to the 4th planet and I'm tired of the game already. I've rented just about every 8.0+ game for it and the biggest disappointment is warioware with a 9.1 that should be a 6.0 at best.

So should I sell my Wii? Because I can't stand it if all we'll be getting is more of the same. Nothing impresses me on this system except a few of the wii sports titles but they are only fun for short spurts. I'm thinking about putting the money toward a POS3 when the price hits $300, but if I wait till the POS3 price comes down before I sell the Wii, the Wii will probably be worth $100 by then.. so should I get rid of it now and wait for the POS3 to drop in price? I have no shortage of games on my 360 so it wouldn't be a big deal to not have a second system for 6 months to a year.

Yes, because you obviously don't like it at all and all you do is flame it. Sell it to someone who will enjoy it.

It's up to you, if you don't want it than sell it. You really shouldn't be on a forum asking whether you should sell it or not, specially this one.

You could... or, you know, you could buy more games for it. 2 games, one of which came free with the console isnt' exacally the wii's library.

Because it was cheap and seemed promising... I am kinda with the TC here... I have a Wii got Zelda, and Wario Ware (MP3 aint released in Sweden yet).

After Wario Ware my Wii has been collecting dust... I've tried some Third party games: Far Cry, Rayman, Elebits, Pangya golf... They where just too boring for me..

I just think that the Wii lacks interesting games... all I am buying/keeping is basically first party games... it's a shame really.

Hmm... looks like you fell for the hype like most people who bought the Wii around when it first came out. Either wait or sell it. I really don't care what you do. I know the good games are coming.

I don't like the SSB series, but I DO want to see what SMG is all about.. that looks fun as long as it doesn't get boring and have a lame story like Super Paper Mario.

I would wait till Holidays when they will be in high demand. Plus you could try to get more games till then.

I always kinda thought selling a console was a stupid idea.

you could do something like mow some lawns for a few weeks and easily get the money to buy a new console. Plus if anything the wii is only going to get more titles considering the rate it's selling...

I derno, just seems idiotic.

its not a matter of not enough money.. I can buy a POS3 right now, along with a few games without batting an eye.

This is about value... of which I am getting very little from the Wii. Its the same concept as buying a PS3 at launch when there were no good games.. Its a better decision to wait for the price drop and good games.. just makes more sense.

So , basically you're admitting that you bought a Wii because you had no sense ? Why must we pay for your mistakes in life ?
