The Wii Turns 5 Years Old Today In North America

I think Zelda will be the last Wii game I'll get. Currently 5 hours into the game :)

It's been a fun ride, while it has its shortcomings, it also has some of the best games this gen, and Super Mario Galaxy is on its own level of greatness. Happy Birthday Wii :)

At least you get Batman(PC) before us :(gameofthering

It's had a good run. It's been lacking in releases, but it also has some amazing games of its own, particularly my favorite game of this generation, Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Good for you i guess...

You could say the same about Zelda. SMG is, IMO, the most fun game to come out this generation (2 to be exact), and it's not because I like to be considered mature. It's that it's immature to divide things into childish and mature where the true problem lies. You shouldn't have to be preoccupied with such silliness when you've grown up.

No, they're not "acting" grown-up, they are grown-up. CoD, I find, is dreadfully boring. Repetitive missions, short storyline, unfocused multiplayer, unclever premise, and twitchy controls. SMG is brilliantly designed, with a clear focus on fun, not being mature. I'm not pretending, and if you continue to claim so, you will be lying every time about something you have no clue about, aka my own individual self. Get off your high horse and learn that fun isn't bound by age, but by what you prefer the most.

And my quote, at least, is from Clive Staples Lewis.

[QUOTE="lancea34"]Are you serious? :|Brodomski

Hmmm...ok.

Anyway, i also need to mention Super Smash Bros Brawl, easily one of the best games this gen, i honestly don't know how many hours i have put into this game.

5 years of not touching a wii :D.. dont think i'll ever touch a nintendo system ever but seeing Wii U is going HD we shall see how games will look on it and if good could be 10% chance i get one lol

C'mon men, do not feed the troll.

Ah yes, I remember camping out for this one, I plan on doing so for the next console as well :)

[QUOTE="calvinsora"]

[QUOTE="Brodomski"] Yes, I've heard the Lewis Carroll quote a million times before, but people are just trying to act grown up by pretending not to care and by pretending to have fun with the game. It's just not fun to play, has too many repeat missions, is too easy, and is really boring. Call of Duty delivers constant excitement at every turn, but the "REAL grown ups" prefer kiddy games like Super Mario Galaxy.madsnakehhh

I just can't help it sometimes :P

Donkey Kong Country Monster Hunter Tri Mario Galaxy Epic Mickey and many more it was a fun ride

Seriously, dude? The game is awesome, and a ton of fun. One of the best platformers ever, really.

It's ironic that you're being the most childish person here :P Your trolling; it is obvious.

I remember sitting outside in some flipping cold ass weather for 12 hours as I waited for the Wii midnight launch.

And the sad thing is that I wasn't actually buying one.

This topic by the TC started out with such promise.. and then I read through his replies. Lol.

Anyways, due to a financial hardship, I had to sell my Wii to my bro. Which means when I'm home over X-mas break from college, I'm gonna play the **** outta Skyward Sword, NSMB Wii, Tiger Woods 2011, SSBB, and try Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time.

Damn I miss my Wii. Happy B-Day.

Happy birthday, 3rd most played system I own this gen!

I hope it's behind the PC, and DS for you otherwise....

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] It's behind the PC, for sure. I got a DS late into it's life, and I'm playing catch-up. :PDarkLink77

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I know it's behind the Xbox and the PC... :P Anyway, the DS is awesome, and once again, I am glad to see so much love for it.charizard1605

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] That's what happens when one system is your go-to source for multiplats.

DarkLink77

Also, it had Pokemon. Any system with Pokemon will have me logging in the most number of hours of playtime.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Same here, I buy all my multiplats on the Xbox by default. Surprisingly enough, my DS still beats it in total playtime :shock:charizard1605

Also, it had Pokemon. Any system with Pokemon will have me logging in the most number of hours of playtime.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] You're such a sheep. :PDarkLink77

Also, it had Pokemon. Any system with Pokemon will have me logging in the most number of hours of playtime.

And still too expensive after 5 years.......actually over 10 years when you consider the tech under the hood :lol:

\o/ Woohoo! I guess?

[QUOTE="lancea34"]Are you serious? :|Brodomski

Edit: Am I a bad person if my favourite Wii game is Trauma Centre (which was a launch game)? :p Hopefully Skyward Sword or Kirby's Return to Dreamland can change my opinion.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]That, and I loved the DS, it was like the greatest system ever (tied with the PS2, of course).

Also, it had Pokemon. Any system with Pokemon will have me logging in the most number of hours of playtime.

charizard1605

Have all three consoles and the Wii is by far my favorite, happy birthday wii!

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Well, Pokemon games are time-consuming. DarkLink77

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Yes, and the DS had three of them! THREE My life :cry:CaptainAhab13

[QUOTE="CaptainAhab13"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] But only one worth playing. ;)

DarkLink77

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="CaptainAhab13"] Which is...?CaptainAhab13

Happy Birthday to the Wii.

Just like the Gamecube, I'm going to make a list of some games I had fun with on the Wii:

First party:

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 (first one was better in my opinion)

Metroid Prime 3 (played both the censored and uncensored version)

Donkey Kong Country Returns (that title does not lie)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Third Party:

Sonic Colors

Tomb Raider Anniversary

Call of Duty 4

Goldeneye 007 2010

Tatsunoko vs Capcom (best fighting game on the Wii in my opinion)

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 1 and 2

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

And there are other Wii games I'd like to get (just like any other console I have) and others I did like, but didn't mention. :)
