I dont know why so many people defend the wii. I enjoyed SMG1 and 2, thats what I bought my wii for. There are a few other games as well but over all it is my least played console ever and I have been gaming since the nes. Defending the WII seems like the "cool" thing to do here. People always hop on the band wagon, If the wii was awesome I would say so, but a few good games here and there for 5 years dosent cut it.

i agree with you gamer, I feel like I am in a weird echo of system wars ... over night its like the place got turned into a sheep haven.. what has happened here? Am I in a dream within a dream... damn... someone wake me up!

Yeah... no. System Was suddenly seems to have woken up to the fact that the Wii has a power packed library after all, and it's acknowledging his. However, you know what they say abut Wii haters...

Because it has the most high scoring exclusives then any other console this gen PC aside which sort of makes up for the lack of multiplats.

All and all I say it's an awesome secondary console.

I'd agree with this, secondary console it's brilliant. Nintendo awesomeness, platformers, quirky Japanese and retro games complements the 360 (or PS3) very well!

Having better local play since it wasn't built to be only fun online. Check.

Yeah, because it's impossible for games to have both :roll:

Actually its a brilliant 1st console and PS3 / 360 make a good secondry console.

gaming on 2 consoles (or 3 if you got handheld too) then you will never play all those games anyways and your most anticipated games have to come 1st. PS3/ 360 make good consolees for those multi-plats and thats all i use it for. Exclusives are the "MEH" of this gen.

I disagree, that can only be true if we assume that AA and A games are comparable to AAA games which they clearly are not. IMO having a crap load of A games is useless unless you want to spend thousands of dollars to play all these 'good' games when you could be playing a smaller amount of much better games. Then there are cross platform standards which once again lowers the wii's library.

[QUOTE="ColdP1zza"]

[QUOTE="crippled_ram"] The point is, the Wii as a console is 3 years and 9 months old. As of now, it has over a hundred great and fun games that can be unhesitatingly recommended to everybody, and these games are spread (a tad unevenly, I admit) across all genres. All types of ESRB ratings (from E to M) find adequate representation on the Wii. Make no mistake, the Wii has a great many good games- just that those great games aren't covered by the mainstream media, and thus, most remain oblivious and/or ignorant of said games' existence. Try and find a game like Little King's Story on any other console. It's a challenge.crippled_ram

LKS got a pretty good rating, there are pretty much no games out there that got low ratings but are actually AAA worthy titles.

What rating a game deserved is purely subjective, and boils down to your OPINION. For instance, GS gave FFXIII an 8.5. Do I think FFXIII deserved that score? No, I think it's barely a 5, so I think the game was overrated. The Wii similarly has tons and tons of games that are overlooked by mainstream media, and that are often underscored. Now LKS you admit is a good game. Which other console offers ANYTHING like it? If I wanna play the game, the Wii is the system for me. Long and short of it, sure, you may not like what the Wii has to offer, and that's okay, it's your own taste in gaming after all, to be governed only by YOU. However, to others, and by the looks of it, an increasingly large majority in System Wars, the Wii has awesome games. You don't like them, fine. But stop painting broad strokes and sweeping generalizations, and stop knocking off our favourite games/consoles.

You would be a console just for one game like LKSÉ Its good but not that good IMO. And if there are that many overlooked games, give me about 20 overlooked games that are better than 360 AAA to fill the gap between the amount of AAAs 360 and Wii have.

Also I donèt think you understand what SW is about. Its not about every agreeing that we are all right in our own ways, SW is about arguingédebating.

So where in Call of space marines fighting on semicircles 12 does Red Dead Redemption, Braid, Dragon Age: Origins, Limbo, Fallout 3, Mafia 2, Forza 3, Street Fighter 4, Bayonetta, Assassin's Creed, Dirt 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Puzzle Quest, Geometry Wars, or any of the other many great games the 360 (or PS3) has fit in to that game?
