I'm So Over the Nintendo Wii

So here is my story...

I purchased a Nintendo Wii on the 5th of May 2007.

And now that I have played all of the following games on it, there is not much point of me keeping it anymore.

So Here are the games...in order of what i played them & release date.

Wii Games:

GameCube Games:

VC Games:

& Bomberman 93


The only Nintendo Wii game coming out in 2009 that I want to play is which is basicly on every console anyway.

And then there is Wii Sports Resort where Nintendo introduces yet another add on to the Wii Mote As well as Mario Power Tennis.

I'm Really sick of add on's for the Nintendo Wii like the old skool controller, Nunchuck, Wii Balance Board, old skool Gamecube Controller just to name a few & now a new motion sensing gadget NO THANKS!

Man I really should of seen this coming and stuck with my first impression of the Wii when it first came out. I DIDN'T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT AT ALL with the Mii's and the no DVD player function and poor looking graphics.

But I guess I got sucked in by the price. It was the cheapest of all the 3 consoles WELL THATS WHAT I THOUGHT until I found out about all of these silly rules where u need to buy some form of add on to play different stuff with.

$388 - $400 for a Console with Wii Sports and sometimes also with an extra game.

But then I had to get a DVD player for $78 so I would be able to watch my DVD's & also an extra Wii Mote and Nunchuck as you do when you buy a console you would usually get an extra controller.

And once I found myself buying games on the VC I ended up having to but a old skool Controller for another $30, Oh and don't forget Rechargable batteries for the Wii Motes for an extra $30.

So Over all I ended up spending over $600 just on that clutter before any games.

If I new that the price of this hidden junk & coming upto the end of 2008 looking into what games will be out in 2009 & knowing the lack of good games that I would like to play on the Wii then I would never have bought it.

I would have bought myself a PS3 with a game which is a console that is really future proof well at least until they decide to bring out the PS4 but I believe that won't be until around 2012.

  • Well for starters it now has Dualshock 3 controllers & I prefer the controller having previously grown up with a PS1 & PS2.
  • BLU RAY DVD PLAYER which is for the DVD's of the Future and it's in built -unlike the Wii that has no Dvd player at all.
  • Awesome Graphic's -One of the things the Wii really lacks
  • FREE Online Play -The way it should be since every one is already paying for their internet connection, Which is why I believe no one should have to pay extra to play games online etc.
  • Region Free Games -So people can get games that aren't yet released in Australia & still are yet to have a release date yet like ROCK BAND 2.
  • They are releasing a HD TV set top box/recorder for TV's which is something I will need to have for 2010.
  • And Most of all Games galore for 2009 & beyond -well ones that I like for once anyway (even though I'm still annoyed that they decided to stop making the game called The Getaway 3)

Game's I would like to play on the PS3 are:

Coming in 2009:

Also: Tekken 6, Prison Break: The Video Game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Fifa 2010, Uncharted 2

Maybe:

INFAMOUS, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 Fusion, NHL 2010

Previously played on XBOX 360 or Wii that are also on PS3:

Now Playing on XBOX 360:

I know you probably think I'm mad for being interested in buying a PS3 when I own a Wii & a DVD player as well as my brother owning an Xbox 360.

But I'm really bored of the Wii & I don't like the Xbox 360 controller, I also don't care about Microsoft Points, XBOX Live is a Rip Off it should be free and I also don't want any time clashes with playing games or wanting to when my bro is cos it's his Xbox 360.

I WANT TO SELL MY Wii THIS YEAR 2009, AND BUY A PS3.
