Why the Wii is disappointing me right now

I got a Wii when it came out and I was all "yeah Zelda. yeah Wii Sports." I played both for a good long while. I also picked up a few other games, like Call of Duty and WarioWare and they were alright for a while. But recently I picked up Super Paper Mario and was sorely disappointed. The controls made VERY little use of the Wiimote (except for maybe like 2 Pixls) and was way too easy. ANd the ony real games I'm looking forward to are First Party games like Smash Bros and Mario and Metroid. I really hope i can fall back on some somewhat satisfying third party games when i finish those.

Or else I'm getting a PS3, which i probably will anyway. 

By your own admission you already enjoyed the Wii for quite some time. You paid for a product. You enjoyed using it. Where's the problem?

Also, in case you didn't know, PS3 games all have endings too.

Maybe I just don't understand your post.

 i too couldn't STAND! super paper mario... after play Zelda, Wiisports, and Warioware. Super paper mario was just really boring and barely used the wiimote, i think super paper mario would of been better for the DS.

topic wise: im still finishing some extra's on zelda, playing some wii sport once in a while, overall i dont regret buying the wii

i got a wii in march but havent played it for ages. i lost interest in wii sports and thought wario ware had no lasting appeal at all. i do enjoy lylat wars and donkey kong country on the vc though. and i don't think my purchase was in vein as i'm really looking forward to super mario galaxy, the eventual mario kart game and other 1st party nintendo games. but i only got a wii for the nintendo 1st party exclusives anyway. that's the only reason i get any nintendo systems now.

if the wii doesn't get any top class games soon then the wave of popularity it's currently riding on will crash.

great. you finally woke up from all the Wii hype :) Get your PS3 and start enjoying some real gamesfakkhead

:lol: That's almost quote-worthy!

The Wii is dissapointing right now. Under-utilised controls, a bunch of last-gen ports, a lack of quality hardcore games and no online. Nintendo promised they wouldn't have a drought, but they were obviously wrong.

However, next month, things are looking up. Mario debuts in PAL, Pokemon's in America, and shortly after that there's Manhunt 2 (the reportedly superior version)!

The Wii has plenty of quality 3rd party games... but just not as many as the competition. That is where 1st party comes it :D 

The Wiimote is cool, no doubt. But there are many gametypes that can't make a use of it. Think about tactical RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics or Battle Ogre, how could the use of the Wiimote make any sense? Or Beat'em ups? Yes I saw the Mortal Kombat trailers, but do you really think you can swing your arms for one hour that fast? Nintendo has good ideas but a lot of 3rd party devs struggle with the implementation of the controls... I will wait for more games that can prove the real use of the Wiimote.Kreean

After SSBB and MP3 their will probably be no more games. Believe it or not this year and some of next year is going to be the Wii's peak. And after a while the graphics will begin to look outdated. If your not having fun with your Wii now you may want to think about getting a 360 or a PS3. 

Well, even as a Nintendo supporter, i could see that the line-up from launch wasn't all that good. I'll get a Wii over the Summer because i know that it'll shine at the end of 2007 and throughout 2008.

Launches are usually dissappointing to me, so it's usually about a year before buying a system.

Are people going to treat the Wii like the DS?  Where they constantly complain if every game doesn't utilize the Wiimote for every action in the game?  Then, if the Wiimote is used, they will just call it 'tacked on'?

I think it's clear that the OP doesn't like SPM simply because he doesn't like to read and thinks he needs to be waving the controller around all the time. 

I haven't played the Wii yet, and the only one I've seen in person was being played by the biggest stoners I have ever met.swamprat_basic

You've turned the gold into straw.  *Whumpf*  The dragon sets everything ablaze.

so then, what good games does the PS3 have then? Formula 1 racing? Resistence? Blah.  

Wii, just like the PS3 isn't going to really get going till later this year when the standout games for each system arrive.the-very-best

Why does it have to be good or bad? I was just stating an objective fact.

You mean the ones that are already on the 360? Or the lost exclusives?
