Wii owners: How long has it been since you have played the Wii?

I haven't played my Wii in Many Many months. I played with a friend with Wii sports 2 butt hat was a short go.

I love videogames but don't care about the so called "good" games that have released for wii in the last 2 years. Metroid other M does look interesting but thats the first worth while game since Mario Kart on the Wii.

The last time I have really gamed on my Wii was HOTD overkill (rented it) almost 8 months ago. You?

A couple of hours ago.

Looks like it.

Up until last Monday I didnt play it in almost a month.

I recently got Metroid Prime 3 and I'm slowly playing through it. But before then I might have played it for about 6 hours total in a year.

According to a recent Kotaku survey, 89% of Wii owners that participated don't use it on a regular basis, 44% say its gathering dust.

I just turned it off.

Same here. I was playing Punch Out. It's a really great game.

Yesterday, Played some Metroid Prime Trilogy and Silent Hill

Just yesterday. I play it more frequently than my other systems at the moment.

I just turned it off.

Oh snap! :shock:

playing it right now

about 3 hours ago. Finished playing a session of Super Mario Bros. Wii and before that was Umbrella Chronicles (great $20 game)

Im playing NMH2 right now actually. Looking up secrets for it.

A few days. A friend came over and we played Brawl for an hour or so. Before that, about a month when I picked up a Monster Hunter Tri demo during a visit to GameStop. Most, if not all of my time (as far as gaming is concerned) goes to my gaming rig.

A few months...and I was replaying one of the Wii's only four good titles: SMG.

A few hours ago beforei made dinner and watched a movie with the mrs. Working my way through the very enjoyable red steel 2, quite a refreshing experience. I've got a boy and his blob ready to go as soon as i'm done RS2, though i alsowant to go back to FF13 on my ps3 and work on the post-game stuff and begin my pokemon soul silver playthrough. wow, too many games this year!

Some excellent retail and downloadable titles have hit the wii in the last few months. Games i feel are more then worthy of attention despite some of the games hitting other gaming platforms.

Earlier today and im sure there are millions of others like myself that played their wii earlier today

The Wii only has Four GOOD titles??? :shock:

I played Brawl yesterday, and the other day I was playing co-op New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Hasn't gotten too much play time before that though.

A couple months ago. It was probably NSMBWii or Resident Evil 4 (Which I put in to test my component cables).

Or if you count Gamecube games as 'playing the Wii', I played some Skies of Arcadia about 3 weeks ago.

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"]Only reason why it would collect dust is because the owner isn't getting new games for it or too narrowminded to try new games. Skittles_McGee

I think his point is that if people weren't as narrowminded, they wouldn't be considered niche in the first place. Despite appeal good games are good games.

Anyways to answer the question, it's been since.. last June since I've played mine.

I think your post is more inaccurate to his.

Cause I play WiiWare and Virtual Console games on my Wii all the time and I hardly doubt that Megaman, Castlevania, and Zelda are Niche Titles.

Besides, his post specifically says NEW games. Virtual Console games aren't new.

I just turned it off.

^This. I've been playing Shining Force and Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

[QUOTE="_BlueDuck_"]

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] I hate when people say this, its entirely inaccurate. Its a well known fact a lot of the games on the Wii are niche titles. By definition, niche titles only appeal to a small group. That is why they are called "niche". The large majority of people will not find these games appealing. Why this is so difficult to understand still perplexes me. Anyway, I dunno. Months. It might have even been last year.Skittles_McGee

I never said narrowminded was necessarily bad. But yeah, if you only like First Person Shooters, that's fine. But it's still narrowminded. Plus, I would imagine many people don't bother to try anything out of their comfort zone. Sure, a lot of people might not actually like a Boy and His Blob, but I imagine a lot of people wouldn't even give it a chance. That's narrowminded.

Lookie here.

adjective 5. pertaining to or intended for a market niche; having specific appeal: niche advertising.

Being open minded doesn't place you into every audience niche games try to appeal to. There is no possibility of making yourself find appeal in every niche game. That's how the world works. Again, it isn't being narrowminded, its being human.
