Does your Wii collect dust?

Yeah, mine is also sitting on the table doing nothing. I would be playing it though for some of the games I bought on Wiiware, and I would like to play Melee and Metroid Prime again, but my brother hogs the bloody TV all the time and I'm too busy to play games like I used to.
I haven't played it in a really, really long time. I can't remember when the last time I played it was. 
It is really sad really. Probably going to trade the poor bugger in soon and all the games I brought with it.
It's not really worth it just for SSBB, Mario Kart, Zelda or any of the other stuff. It's just because there are better games on PC, 360 or PS3.
So I am going to give it in soon.
Got it in 2007 for my birthday in grade 7. Such a sad way. Hopefully it will fuel my money for my other games I am going to get.

All my consoles are collecting dust, it's not like I have much occasion to move them around preventing a dust build-up.
But to answer the actual spirit of your question, no I don't use my Wii too often. The Xbox 360 just has a more expansive library of games I want to play. I do plan on buying the two "Return" platformers after their prices drop, but other than possibly expanding my GameCube collection a bit I don't think I'll be making any further purchases for the Wii.
You know what though? I'm fine with that, the console was cheap and it let me play some great games.

If I had a Wii it would collect dust, there isn't anywhere in my house with enough space to use it properly.
That's weird, I find girls pounce on mine as soon as they get through the front door!Casual Shinji said:
It did... But then I discovered Trauma Team, and from that the other Trauma Center games!
Sadly, Atlus doesn't appear to be planning any new additions to the Trauma Center series.
I guess once they run their course my poor Wii will go back to collecting dust.
If people were actually considering finding a reason to dust off their Wiis, I'd say pick up Trauma Team. That game is hella inexpensive ($10-$15 or so) and I'd say the game's story and writing quality is on par with Mass Effect. Not even joking, it's about the closest to Bioware writing quality as you'll get from a non-Bioware game at the moment. But that's just my opinion.

I still use it occasionally, but not as often as I used to. The last game I played on it was Donkey Kong Country Returns, a brilliant platformer and easily one of the best games on the system.
Along with all my other consoles.
Wii more than the others however.
There's just no good games on it.

Used my Wii for the two Zelda games (I swear I didn't know Twilight Princess was on Gamecube too, I was like 11!) and SSBB for like five minutes. So yes, it pretty much collects dust. Not bothering with the Wii U, I've learned my lesson finally!
No it does not. I play my Wii a lot, it has quite a few games I like to play. It's probably my main system.
Right now I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles mostly and in a few weeks I'm going to be playing The Last Story on it when it comes out in America. I also really enjoy Monster Hunter and Skyward Sword.
I enjoy my Wii. It's fun to play and has games on it I like, and I don't care what anyone else thinks about it, I enjoy playing my Wii.

When I'm not playing games on it yes, it does. But if I'm playing mario galaxy or Resident Evil 4 again it doesn't, or xenoblade or w/e.
For GCN I actually do have a gamecube that I use, if only because it's worthless and I got it for a tenner.
Also, it gathers ALOT of dust, due to it being glossy black, my PS3 is the same. My PS2/Dreamcast/MegaDrive don't because they're matte.
It's ugly and I have a low tolerance for ugly from dust and fingerprints.

I bought and played Mario Party 2 on it the other week for nostalgia reasons, but that was the first time I'd touched it in months. Considering I have about 4 games on it and about 80 across 360 and PS3 (barely play that either though), it's no real surprise.
Yeah, after Sin and Punishment 2 I found nothing that could get my attention. There are games on it that are okay but nothing that can drag my attention away from the Human Revolutions and Arkham Cities of the gaming world. I'm about due a replay of the Mario Galaxy games though.
That bad eh? Wow. Even so it's a pity it never made it to the UK, I loved New Blood even if I hated it at the same time. I might still have to find a way of importing it.TakeyB0y2 said:
