I had high hopes for the Wii but it ended up just crap

Post Reply New Topic

I share a Wii with my siblings, and I like it.

I didn't know what to choose: PS3 or Wii (360 doesn't appeal to me), but I couldn't afford the two. My reasons for buying a Wii were:

1. Wii seemed interesting wth that new way of playing.

2. My sister (RIP), had a sarcoma in her neck. She couldn't move her right arm and legs in her last months of life, she couldn't do what she loved (drawing, handcrafts and playing video games) that made her feel depressed. I thought she could play some Wii games with one hand.

3. PS3 was more expensive, that means I would pick only one game at the begining.

4. I knew Snake would be a playable character on Super Smash Bros. Brawl (I love Snake ).

Yeah, I won't play Metal Gear Solid 4 this year and other games like Final Fantasy XIII, but I can wait.

Really? You hate the Wii? I love mine!

I guess it depends on the TYPE of game you want to play, the Wii is more for party games and social occasions but some of the games you can play on your own - for instance, like LOZ: Twilight Princess (which is an amazing game, I can tell you now)...

So it all depends on what you'd rather do with your console. If you want to get up and get fit while playing a games console, get the Wii. Or if you'd rather sit down, play on your own and be unfit.. choose any other console in the world.

Don't get me wrong, I have every console that has ever come out since I was born so I don't hate every other console, I am just favouring the Wii at the moment.

I don't know if Bluesummers is really serious, but what's so bad about catering to kids? I mean, gasp! kids playing games, how horrible.

I once heard someone say the wii was a failure. Well, most failures in gaming, don't sell twice as much in their lifetime as the 360 and about 3 times as much as the PS3, so I'm going to have to say no to that statement. The wii is a great system. Sure, it's graphics aren't the best, but graphics aren't that important. If you think they are, then which was a better game, Superman 64, or Pacman?

The Wii has the best games. SSBB, Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wario Ware Smooth Moves just to name a few. The 360 has Halo, and more Halo and a bit more of Halo. It doesn't have a whole lot more then just Halo. Most the other good games on 360 are cross platform and I can play them on the Wii. Same goes for PS3. Most of the good games are also on the Wii.

The Wii is innovative. I have fun with the motion stuff and I also like the fact that is can connect to my DS wirelessly. I also like friend codes, and free online play, which do come with the Wii. And if you don't feel like playing with your friends, then you don't have to use friend codes to get matches online. This is different from the PS3, in which it's near impossible to find your friends online.

The Wii also has great controls which can be held differently for each and every game, making each and every game something new, fun and creative. And if developers don't like the Wii-mote, then they don't have to use it. They can make their game use the Gamecube Controller or Old School Controller as well.

The Wii is also far cheaper. I can get about 3 Wiis for the price of one PS3 and about two Wiis for the price of the more expensive version of the 360. The games are the same price which I guess is a good thing.

Also, the Wii has Miis, and a weather thing, and a bunch of other cool extra features. You can even download the Opera web browser for it. And it lets you play really old games for cheap, and plays gamecube games you already own. It even has a hard drive to safe stuff on the system it's self, which I find to be really cool.

In the end, Nintendo has never failed me before, and it didn't with the Wii either. I love my wii.

Yeah it is about being a fan boy with the Wii I agree with the second poster, however I must say the problem with the Wii I have is the wireless system with the sensitivity of the sensor bar... it's so hard to keep it on the darn screen so it's not pleasant to play the games!

Well actually to be honest I forgot about the VC *virtual console* how you can play lots of classic games from the Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, N64, Neo Geo and such... I hope they put Gameboy games on it! the only reason I have a wii is for two reasons, the Virtual Console and Super Smash Bros Brawl.

In some way, but it isn't a good enough built system... and then some games like Wii Sports works perfectly with the Wii Remote even if I was using it BACKWARDS...

Nah I really like the wii... Nintendo are top quality innovators.
