The Wii is the absolute worst system of this generation

So, this thread has been completely derailed huh?meetroid8

I agree with you. And I know you like Nintendo games just like me. This isn't an issue of Nintendo the game maker, this is an issue of Nintendo console maker.

Their console is a pile of **** this gen. Worst graphics, sound, online (friend codes and no profiles, hackers and flat out broken modes), and new controls that harmed far more often then they helped. Worst game library, lower standards in all areas (see: The Conduit hype) , no DLC (waa waa gotta pay, o wait Gears 3 recently got 5 new maps for FREE) nor achievements.

No media features at all, not even CDs or DVDs, though of course the second something gets added like Netflix, it's all awesome to have right!? What else. Voice chat fiasco, no games support it, then some games support WiiSpeak, others support Headbanger headset, others support both, still others support neither! Too many peripherals and controllers, need a Wiimote, Nunchuk, CIassic Pad and Motion Plus at a bare minimum to play it's good games, and possibly Balance Board, Gamecube pad for Smash, one or more voice chat peripherals, and all sorts of plastic shells for the Wiimote. O and a pen and paper for all your friend codes.

Why is the Wii's harddrive miniscule when HDD space is so cheap and and there's so much to download? Why are there no demos nor previews of games available? Why are entire genres missing? Why is Xenoblade the first good RPG for 5 years? Why are there no decent racers apart from 1 or 2 karting games? Why do I have to worry about games being localised or not? T

oo much hype, never enough substance. I was mad into the Wii hype for the first couple years, I defended it and it's sales and preached the bogus BS that "The sales are good, the games will come, the problems will be worked out!" In the end, it's the same as the N64 and GC. Awesome first party, dirt everywhere else, handily demolished by the competition. And don't even have the crutch of being more powerful/prettier like N64 and GC were compared to PS1/PS2.

I seriously, SERIOUSLY wish Nintendo would just go 3rd party. Let me play Zelda and Mario on my Xbox or PS.

I am the biggest fan in the world of Nintendo's games, Mario Galaxy is like crack to me and I adore it. But the Wii as a whole is suckage :/

And you found that out now? :P

all nintendo systems and their games are crappy in my opinion, thats why i'll never bother with nintendo

finalstar2007

Your opinion of games is irrelevant.

Is the Wii Nintendo's worst console to date?

It only has 3 decent games, which still reflect the past in someways mind you, after that, shovelware.
I cant play one game for a whole year.

Besides, Indie games are making a mockery of Nintendo these days.

It's kind of true, worst system makes it seem like a sensationalist headline but out of the three it's the one with the least amount of appealing games.

Great exclusives but lack of multiplatform games kill it.

and some people agree with gs scores so what's the difference?

[QUOTE="Chemical_Viking"]

This much is obviously true. They have the worst library by far, I'd go as far as saying it's one of the worst libraries of any main console ever. It's an underpowered, lame, waggle fest with no games and an audience of none gaming octogenarians and casuals.

LastRambo341

The wii sucks. Everyone knows that.
Not sure why people would by a goddamn gimmick system with sh*tty graphics and rehashed games.

The Wii is the best console of this generation.

The PS3 and 360 are sad little attempts at being PCs.

The wii's just a overclocked gamepube which was a poor attempt at a gaming console.

Nintendo has not had any decent 3rd party support ( for consoles anyway ) since the SNES. They make up for it with good first party games though. The Wii-U should help bring back 3rd Party games but Sony's and Microsoft's Next gen consoles might make it obsolete ( Wii-U is supposed to be only slightly better than this gen ).

Meh... I've had more fun with my Wii than with my PS2 and have about 60 Wii games and have many I still want to buy.

First party:

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

Metroid Prime 3

Animal Crossing: City Folk

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Third party:

Sonic Colors

Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars

Goldeneye 007

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

LEGO Indiana Jones and Harry Potter

Heck, I'm still currently playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Zelda: Skyward Sword, Metroid: Other M, and Okami (though I took a break from that since I'm a bit confused... again).

It may have had droughts, but I've found that Wii has some of the most memorable games this gen for me.

The (almost) complete lack of 3rd party support really hurts the console but there's still pretty darn good exclusives that are worth keeping it.

For example, Xenoblade is easily the best JRPG I've played this gen.

The wii sucks. Everyone knows that.

PatrickBateman6

Maybe because they:

A. Don't care if some people think it's a "gimmick" (I don't understand why that's a dirty word on SW, MS and Sony use gimmicks too).

B. Don't care about those "sh*tty graphics" and are not graphics whores(even though they're not even that bad).

C. Like the games on the systems even if some idiots think all their games are rehashes even when they're not.

I'll bet you've never even played a Wii before, or if you have you sure as Hell didn't give it much of a chance.
