I hear about great sales for the Wii.

I was interested to see how often do you Wii players play there Wii? I know a lot of people who bought one, but only used when company or family comes over. I do know a few who played it often the first month, but since then not often at all.

With motion sensors and such being the big THING with the console, I jsut wonder how you guys put in an 8 hour session of Smash Brothers or any other game that you might get addicted too (like a Halo, WorldofWarcraft level)

I haven't played mine in weeks,but that's primarily because it wasn't functional for a few weeks,and I sent it to Nintendo a week and a half ago.I should get it back next week,though.:D

Before that,I played it everyday.

Right now my Wii is used to play old game cube games. Last week I used it to play RE4: Wii ed. a lot. On the other hand, my PS3 hasn't seen any gaming since... well ever, i got it as a gift, and have yet to buy a game for the system. Oh wait, i did play some old ps2 games on it when i first got the system, but that was 5 months ago.

Blah, there nothing out right now that i want, that i already don't have.

Haven't played mine in a long time (except yesterday I was playing some Contra and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance).

Haven't played any Wii games in a long time, I beat all the ones I have.

I'm waiting until I have the room to spend money on Super Paper Mario, because I STILL have yet to play it...

I haven't played mine for over a month going on two. I have jumped on to DL some VC titles, but never actually played them either.

I play mine pretty often now. I rented Mario Party 8 (have some family coming over tonight, so gonna play that, along with some other games of course.) I just came back from playing a bit of Wii Sports actually. Still a fun game. I'm trying to beat Trauma Center, and a few VC games I have, but FF XII, VI Advance, and III are my top priorities, now that I beat a few other games I needed too, but my paycheck is coming in this week, and... well... I need to get GoW II. :oops:

I play for an hour or 2 a day, sometimes I play all day. There are many games I haven't bought still that I need to get but I'm too broke.

I have been playing a significant amount of Metroid Prime/Prime 2: Echoes and SSBM on it lately. I was going to pick up Super Paper Mario but never got around to it. Once Metroid Prime 3, Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask come out, I should be well into playing it... and then the is Battalion Wars 2, SSBB and SMG.

Speaking of SSBM, I need to go and practice with Captain Falcon some more.

I play Wii sports almost daily, but it's mainly used for Gamecube games right now. The first wave of Wii games has dried up, but the next should be great.

I am playing it like crazy for a month because of Godfather and Red Steel.And a week ago I bought Mario Strikers, now playing strikers 3-4 hours a day online, pretty addictive.

But Before all of these I was playing it 1-2 hours a day.Excite Truck or VC.

I boot it up everyday for news anyway though.

Haven't played (as in seriously played for more than 30 minutes, not just "turned on" for a few minutes for non-game stuff) for over a month. Just not enough games that interest me right now. I was thinking about picking up RE4 Wii but I played it to death on the GC (as in doing every last thing,) so I haven't been able to get myself to buy it just to replay it.

That being said, my PS3 is somewhat in the same boat, it's being used heavily right now - but only as a Blu Ray movie player.

My 360 gets by far the most game play at this point.

Prime 3 can't get here soon enough, seriously.

Playing Gamecube games ATM, summer drought and all.

I'll probably pick up RE4, seeing as I never beat it and I need something to get me back into the game.

I play it around an hour a day, but I've been playing it a lot more now that I picked up RE4. Been polishing off Trauma Center and Elebits, in addition to some old GC games.

Bah, I own all three consoles and the Wii is the one I play the least. After finishing TP and suffering the beginning of Red Steel, I only used it to finish WarioWare in one night and that's it. Nothing really worth spending my money on right now, I'm saving up for the really good games on PS3/360 and later on for the wii.

Smash Brothers isn't going to feature much motion control, btw.

Tell me about it.... I see these all these people talking about playing the crap out of and loving Red Steel and I wish I had the ability to enjoy games that bad. It was just.... terrible.

I don't play much, but I dont play anything much anymore.

I'm getting tired of games in general.

I guess if you're hungry enough for games or only have one system something "meh" like Godfather will keep you occupied.

That's why it's best to own all three, I only pick up the best games and there's enough of 'em between the three to keep me happy.

on my own: almost never, unless I am playing a gamecube game (usually Eternal Darkness or RE4)

but it does get used when I have friends over with Wii Sports and Monkey Ball

overall, I'm dissapointed with it so far though

Once, twice a week maybe for 10-15 minutes at a time (Big Brain).

Waiting for: Paper Mario (VC) & Fire Emblem localization.

Maybe, I mean I'm not saying the Wii doesn't have some great games. I loved SPM, LoZ:TP, and to a lesser extent Elebits. Past that though I don't see content that I would even want to try, let alone purchase.

Meh, I'll strike this one up to the "new" Wii market, and mini-game and mini-game-esque fans. :?

Let's see. My Wii's on life support with Gamecube games until Metroid Prime 3 comes out. My 360 is going to stay dead until Bioshock comes out and that's if I don't upgrade my PC. I'm ravaging through some games that I still haven't beat on my PC. I don't have a PS3.

I'm starting to feel the burn of the summer drought.

Well there is a significant amount of games on all the consoles I want to try as well... most of them I would not pay a cent for though. I should have picked up SPM a while ago though. That one interested me greatly yet I never went out and got it. Mostly I think because I had too much stuff to play already. >_>

Yeah, I too have too much to play, but the collector of me wins most internal debates. Plus I have to make sure my new gaming room I'm building is fully furnished :P

Anyway, just picked up Hoshigami for the DS (despite owning the PSX version? *shakes head*), and The Darkness, just about to play it after Man vs Wild.

I've been playing it regularly except for this week. I recently started playing Castlevania: POR again from where I left off and I'm completely addicted to it right now. I'm very close to finishing the game. I'm at the last parts of the game but I'm just killing enemies to get the last few items to complete my enemy list. In fact, I feel like playing Scarface right now. Guess I'll go fire up the Wii.
