Where did the Wii go wrong?

Back in '07 I was given a Wii but within a few months the novelty wore off. The best games don't even take control of the motion controller and the lack of serious releases lost my interest. Wii Sports was fun for about a week,and Galaxy was the game that would've attracted everyone to this cute little console that stood alongside the mammoth 360 and PS3. But for Christmas that year I bought Pokemon Battle Revolution, considering I don't have a DS ( I fail to see the use of it), it was the worst game I have ever played. It lacked a storyline,the ability to gain interesting pokemon who leveled to gain interesting moves and had the most boring gameplay imaginable consisting of pressing A over and over again while pointing at the screen. I gave up on it after 4 hours and went back to Galaxy. I then awaited Final Fantasy to be released (Took a year) when I read the single customer review on Play.com, it failed. Apart from Super Smash Bros Brawl and Galaxy the console hasn't churned out a single decent original game yet. Cooking Mama sounds as interesting to me as general relativity does to an 8 year old. So tell me, what happened? Did I make a bad investment here? Am I going to be subject to numerous horrid Sonic games till I finally make the dive for a PS3? Did Nintendo stop caring about the general gamer when the general gamer stopped caring for the Gamecube?

Dude. No More Heroes. Probably one of the best games I've played in a while, don't even talk about giving up on the Wii before you've played it.

Also: Mario Kart, Madworld and Zelda.

It found that it could make shovelware kids games that, in theory, use the controller's motion control for something, but in practice are crap, over making genuine games that are actually good and worth the full price.
Dont worry, i think everyone who bought a wii and are disappointed seem to be the ones who buy the small load of good games on it. (i think like it had the lowest amount of good games and the highest amount of crap shovelware (according to IGN.com)
Oh but dont think that im saying that all games are crap. Cause people are bound to say the good ones here.

Buy Madworld? Or No More Heroes?

And Wii didnt go wrong.
Madworld looks good, but I hate those comic type games like 13. But can it compete to the likes of Killzone 2 or Gears? According to Play,
this ---> http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/9236834/101-In-1-Party-Megamix-Wii/Product.html is what we have to look forward to.

Yes it can compete with Killzone 2 and Gears...those are boring shooters that have been done too death...

At least Madworld offers something fresh out of the God of War school type of games and read to much SIn City.

When it decided to become a whore, selling "casual" games, most repetitive and crap, giving out a few good games, mainly made by those willing to rally against the Wii as a console and do something different. Nintendo Wii is no longer a console, it is a toy.

So next time, even though the Wii is to be respected, pick another brand, one who only whores itself out with crap games, not industry ruining ones.

Teh PS3 came around and kicked it's ass.
I was really dissapointed when I tried it out for the first time. The motion-controller was crappy and so were the graphics. PS3 FTW!

Friend it's like you want to be flamed. So you ignored any good game that is coming out in the next 6 months, and are taking a review from play.com to be absolute truth? I could go on there and write a customer review stating that your final fantasy game (no clue which one by the way, care to let us know?) is the best thing since internet porn.

And what was the problem with No More Heroes by the way?

I've just started playing resi 4 for wii.

Its fricking awesome.

Also, if you think a good game is like gears of war, GTA etc why not buy Scarface? No more heroes is excellent, and the latest rabbid game is good for a lugh when your friends come round*.

so, the wii hasnt gone "wrong", its just trying something different, rather than churning out a similar console with better graphics. Just because it caters to a different audience does not mean it is bad as a console.

Sometime between the announcement of Wii Music and them running out of ideas and re-releasing old GameCube titles.

20 quid says if I did a similar thread like this, I would get done for trolling.

Teh PS3 didn't come and kick anyone's ass. The PS3 came and shot itself in the foot and started haemorraging money on every console sold.

What's next? You going to tell me that the Jaguar kicked everyone's ass?
