I'm singling wii out because it's the console I want the most yet can't get because of one crippling problem:

No Multiplats! :cry:

I know that's not a big problem for most people, but I don't have the money, time, patience to have two consoles at one time, so not having all these amazing multiplats makes the wii a secondary console for me. I still don't understand why devs don't go after wii for their multiplats. Yes it takes major work compared to PS3 -> 360 (or vice versa) ports b/c the capabilities are so inferior, but since it's selling so much, why not go for it?

Also to a lesser extent, the online is pretty bad.

Anyone think multiplats are a big issue with the wii?

Poeple are afraid of it.

Don't like new things, don't have enough self esteem to use controller, etc.....

My biggest complain about it it's that third parties are way to F***** lazy to come out with a half decent game, of course there are some exceptions (Tomb Raider, Zack & Wiki, RE4 and Trauma Center come to my mind).

I bought a Wii for games designed around its controller, not tacked on. Hence, I don't care about multiplats.

My biggest problem is that Nintendo hasn't been willing to take many risks. Not only with the Wii, but also its major franchises.

It has taken a while for third party developers to catch up.

It's underpowered, overpriced, and third party developers are never going to give it any real support.

Bad online, bad graphics, and still doesn't offer any new franchises. In terms of games, wii is just a GC with the same old worn out Nintendo franchises, but this time with an onslaught of casual games in between. If I bought a wii I know it would be the same story with me having to wait months just for a game that might appeal to me.

Well yeah if I want to make things up I can do better but that's what it comes down to.

We have people here that think that mature people don't swing their arms to play a game but obviously button mashing gets you women and a smoking jacket w/pipe.

I think he was referring to people who actually own a Wii - not those of you that have never actually seen one. Thanks for your valuable input, though.

It's nice to have another consistent Wii-basher on GS. I have been feeling much too happy lately and needed someone to set me straight about what I should be playing.

The Wii isn't a console that I see directly competeing with the others. A lot of people buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games. Go buy a 360 to compliment your Wii, or even upgrade your computer to run games.

o.o Blindly mashing buttons all day in front of the TV? If you are uncomfortable enjoying fun because of someone else thinks less of you and considered its 'uncool',I really don't know.Let me ask you a question, if someone said playing the next FF game was going to be uncool, would that stop you?

My biggest complaint with the Wii is that 90% of the games I've played on it suck. Hopefully this will change in the future.

not enough online games.

multiplats are a simple problem to solve if you have a pc. I upgrade my PC every 5-6 years, usually about halfway through the console generation. (although when the new gen rolls around some of the newer games won'r run on my rig, but I can wait.)It's never failed me yet.

Yeah, the Wii needs to get some more solid 1st party titles. Casual games are okay, but I don't think we need more party games...
