So I've came into some money recently should I buy a Wii or a 3DS?

Nintendo fans convince me what one to buy an what 2 games to pickup with my purchase

was leaning towards 3ds but thinkin wii might have better games

heres my thoughts

wii + twilight princess/super mario galaxy 1-2 skyward sword

or

3ds star fox 3d/super mario land 3d/OOT 3d

which do u think i shoul go people with my casH?

3DS has the DS library behind it as well.

Go with whatever has more games you'd like to play.

Don't buy 3DS, model with 2nd analog stick is coming out soon

Wii. Or just wait a few months for the Wii U and get the same games. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best Nintendo game this generation. Those 3DS games are all ports except for 3D Land.ActionRemix

do you need a wii for the WII U to work?

or is the wii u a system on its own?

3DS. More future proof than the Wii, as the Wii U will be out soon.

You can get a wii really cheap.More games coming to 3ds.So get a 3ds,then get the wii.

Which one has the established library of quality titles? Which one is an overpriced handheld barren of quality titles that aren't ports? meetroid8

Get the Wii and catch up on the awesome library. That is unless you wanta Wii U, in which case, just wait and go for the 3DS as that system's library is really beginning to blossom.

i would get the 3DS if you plan on getting the Wii U sometime in the future

get both they are both awesome ut for now stick with wii since the 3ds is just starting to pick up steam

this ;)

I would get a Wii. While a bit dry in number of newer releases, if you're just now getting one this late in gen then you have a substantial amount of games to play. And then when Wii U rolls around I'm sure GameStop will have some trade-in deal for it :)

3DS has the DS library behind it as well.

Go with whatever has more games you'd like to play.

mmmwksil

The Wii has the Gamecube library behind it as well...

Looking solely at their libraries the Wii > 3DS...

However the Wii U is coming out soon and that will be BC...

The 3DS might infact have a remodel. Both of these are points to consider.

If you are going at current libraries than the Wii > 3DS (mainly because of the many more years it has been out).

id say wii....but wiiU comes out in 6 months ....wait for wiiU and get a 3DS..

Wii simply because it is has a way better library. There are tons of great Wii games out there and a few that are among the greatest games ever. Can't really say the same thing about the 3DS.

If you're thinking about getting the Wii U, I'd say get the 3DS. Especially if you don't have a DS.

3DS PC = Wii in 1080p Nothing more to say , this tip is enoughAzatiS

3DS. It will get more quality support from third party devs. There are some gems like No More Heroes and Muramasa on the Wii but the 3DS will just have more in its lifetime. Also, the first party games on the Wii are overrated (haven't played Xenoblade, though). Most of them are worse than their GameCube predecessors.

At this point I'd only get the wii if you care about GC compatibility, and if that is something you care about. Wii is such old hardware that I wouldn't be surprised if the Wiiu upscaled the wii games just like emulators do.

Well it's pretty late in the Wiis' lifespan so my vote on this would be the 3DS. I love my 3DS and the 3D for me is icing on the cake. Mario Kart 7 is a great game. I'm not a huge Skyward Sword fan and that was supposed to be the last "hurah" for the system...

If you don't own a DS, buy a 3DS.

If you do, buy a Wii.

Uh is this a real question? i mean you never pick a portable over a console, especially when you can get all the first party titles on the Wii for cheaper than you can the 3DS right now. Super Mario Galaxy, Punchout, Zelda T.P., Kirby's Epic Yarn, Metroid Prime 3, are all $19.99 Not to mention other great titles like Mario Kart Wii, Boom Blox, Super Mario Bros Wii are all under $30 used. Don't get a 3DS over a Wii, ask for the 3DS for christmas, and maybe you'll get it from someone, otherwise console first portable second.....always.Slimmin360

There's still the WiiU factor though, which will be BC and may very well upscale the games. I just bought a wii because I wanted something that played GC as well. But in a sense you are correct. You can find the wii for $135, a large some of the best games are $20, and the controllers will be compatible with wiiu. Still, 3DS is a good system and will be supported for a long time.

[QUOTE="AtariKidX"]Buy the PSP.It is is a better system and it have more good games than 3ds.sts106mat

It depends on what you need it for.

If you want a social game console that you can play with your friends/family, buy the Wii.

If you want a personal, one-on-one experience that you can play in bed/waiting for a train, then get the 3DS.

Either way you won't go wrong.

Boring RTS is boring. Seriously I stopped playing RTSes with WarCraft III. They're just too boring for me.

Which one has the established library of quality titles? Which one is an overpriced handheld barren of quality titles that aren't ports? meetroid8

thats a tough one.

wii has its entire gen's worth of games plus gamecube games, while the 3DS has all of the DS's library plus a whole gen of games to come.

this is a choice only you and you alone can decide.

Go for the Wii, and make sure it's not one of these newer models that isn't backwards compatible with GameCube games and peripherals. Not only will you have access to GC and Wii games, you'll also have access to a glut of downloadable Virtual Console and WiiWare games. If you want a list of Wii games alone, everyone's got one for ya! Mine follows.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kirby's Return to Dreamland
Metroid Prime Trilogy (or just Metroid Prime 3, which is less than half the price on Amazon)
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Metroid: Other M (yeah, I know... but it's still Metroid)
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (or Accent Core Plus, but it's much more expensive)
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Okami (though the PS2 version is superior)
Monster Hunter Tri
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Xenoblade Chronicles (coming next year)
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

There are also several GC games that I recommend (I would recommend more, but these are ones I consider must-haves from last gen):

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Metroid Prime (if you don't get Trilogy for the Wii)
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (ditto)
Super Smash Bros. Melee (which you should get even if you also get Brawl)

The 3DS may or may not have a bright future, but there's currently not much to say for it. The hardware needs a revision to improve the battery life and add a second circle pad, and the most notable games on it right now seem to be remakes and rereleases (including old Game Boy games).

The Wii U won't be compatible with GameCube discs. I expect the games to be added to the U's Virtual Console eventually, but given how things have gone with the Wii's VC, "eventually" could mean "it will take years before we release the game you want".

Wii has better games and they are all cheap and are going to fizzle out of retail soon. I''d go with that.

Wii, just for Xenoblade and Skyward Sword. I'm not a big handheld person.

Buy the Wii if you want a big backlog of really cheap games to choose from.

Buy the 3DS if you want a few really big titles with a huge library to come.

Technically none of it is legal. Just because you buy the game or the system does not mean you have the right to obtain a downloaded copy.

But it's not like Nintendo is going to stop you or sue you.
