I love my little Wii. I still play it, and I got it the Christmas of its release. Granted, I haven't got very many games for it, but eh.
Do you hate your wii

Mine is still sitting in the box I packed it in when I moved over a year ago. No games I want for it really. My pc/360/ps3 and hand helds have me covered. Just held on to it with the hopes maybe they will release some more good games, but so far I am not holding my breath.
Well, until yesterday, I might have had said yes. However, I spent a fair bit of the weekend playing House of the Dead Overkill on my Wii, and I had a thoroughly good time... even though my missus was kicking my ass. It's a pretty good game, and the gun peripherals are really well designed and built. There is a fair bit of slowdown at times though.
So I would say No, I still have love for my Wii, we just need some better games for it.
I'm also waiting for Madworld, I'll rent it as I don't think it's going to be a long term type game, probably more like No More Heroes, which I bought and enjoyed for a week or so, but haven't played since.

2nd best console after the PS2.
Microsoft aren't bringing anything new to the table so I look to Nintendo, once you sift through the shovelware (of which there is an alarming amount) there are some real gems. Brawl, Mario Kart, Resi 4 Wii Edition (story mode is a bit too easy even on professional but the mercenaries is better with infra red support), Twilight Princess and all the Virtual Console games and Wiiware games. The majority of the people who don't like the Wii are graphics whores, fanboys and/or people who are too selfconcious/lazy to put any physical effort into playing.
Edit: Just to add a few more titles, House of the Dead, Umbrella Chronicles, all the good Gamecube games thanks to perfect backwars compatibility, Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports (the best party game since Worms 3D), etc.
Edit Edit: I have noticed that some of the games I have listed do kind of contradict the whole 'bringing something new' thing but...but...fuck you!
Edit Edit Edit: It would be the best console if it could get some decent FPSs, the Wii pointer has great potential. It'd be awesome if they could port the Orange Box, I'm sure the Wii has enough power to run the source engine to a reasonable level.
Edit Edit Edit Edit: I make it my personal mission to set fire to everyone who uses the term 'casuals' in relation to gaming. If you take it seriously then you're just sad.

I don't hate my Wii per se, but it does disapoint me that I havn't played the damn thing in months. There havn't been any real worthwhile games that have caught my eye so far, and if they did, my friend got them, I borrowed them, and I ended up bored with them.
I don't know why, but whenever I play a game on the Wii, I put it down in a week or two regardless of if I'm finished with it or not. It happend in Twilight Princess, it happend with Brawl, it even happened with Okami. Freakin' Okami!
MadWorld and the Conduit do look interesting though, but I'm really annoyed that the only reason why I'm actually interested in them is because one is ultraviolent sadistic joy and the other is a bloody FPS! The Wii promised to give me something other than bloody-FPS-gray-bleak stuff you see on the other consoles!
So, I'm just disapointed with it. It's a good console for what it's worth, but I guess it wasn't meant for me. Same thing with my DS really, infact any Nintendo product I've owned. Strange, my PS2-PS3 had PLENTY of play time. Guess I'm just a Sony boy at heart

2nd best console after the PS2? r u retarded! PS3 pwns it's predicessor. Microsoft isn't bringing anything to the table? HALO 3 ODST? huh? think about that! and Halo 3 is always got new maps coming out and the online is never ending! i don't give a shit bout graphics as long as i can tell a wall's a wall and a guy's a guy, i'm fine! i'm no fanboy cuz i don't hav any other system, and selfconscious...? who the hellz gonna judge me my dogs? NO! i am that rare legitimate h8er who owns the console and says this sucks! it's impossible to play with frends cuz u have a 16-digit-code if u want 2 add them unlike other consoles where u see sum japanese kids gamertag and u just add them! THERE A FRIEND! u don't even know them u just know they play halo3 or w/e, but that's fine cuz u now hav sum1 to play private games with w/o leaving ur house!
Sometimes I stare at that sterlie looking box and think why the hell did I buy you? The problem was that all the first party games that Nintendo insist of making only one per generation of now have all come out and because Nintendo is stingy when it comes to shelling out for thrid party titles we have a game drought. Damn you caual gamers and your incompitence to play proper video games lol.
Depends on what you mean by 'casual.' I consider all the mini-game nonsense to be casual games, because there's no depth to them. And lets face it, its those 4 games that really moved some Wii's.KDR_11k said:
Sounds like someone is trying to defend Nintendo. Let's face it, its quite hard to make a game on the Wii that doesn't feel ill-fitting, contrived, or gimicky. Only a few have pulled it off. Game's by Nintendo that fall into this category don't count, because they sure as HELL better be able to make some 'par games for their system.
Edit: Maybe I should clarify. "Sounds like someone is trying to defend Nintendo" here is a sarcastic feigned-jab.
Nah. I hate the developers, and Nintendo for not fully using there own machine. When I heard about Wii Fit, I lost a lot of hope. A view games do get past the crap like No More Heroes and Trauma Center: New Blood. Just enough games have come out to make it worth $250, but it could do so much better. I do recal Nintendo saying sorry for the lack of traditional games announced at E3 '08, so I will delay final judgement till E3 '09.
PLEASE tell me you're taking the piss, being an unsuccessful troll or simply saying the opposite of the truth in order to make an example of it.Lawlz Bawlz said:
Halo 3 = Nothing new + crap.
PS3 = expensive, no good exclusive games, no longer backwards compatible.
Adding friends online = stupid, get some real friends who know where you live.
ffs lrn2 spell, i haets teh interbuttz lingo.
Spaz91, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you on the idea that the PS3 has no good exclusives. Killzone 2 may not be a "Halo killer" but I had a friend who has only a 360 and a Wii and he stated that it was the best shooter he's ever played. And there's others like MGS4 and upcoming God of War III. As for the Wii being a disappointment, I don't own one personally, but I know that whenever I'm with friends who own one, we never seem to play it. We always play 360 or PS3 instead. I would assume this is because we just have more fun playing other things.
