Wii
Platform »
The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.
Enlighten me....
Hey, I've had the Wii for about 6 months and cannot for the life of me find a decent game, I bought Resident evil 4 which I enjoyed. I came from the ?Xbox 360 to the Wii and I feel likeI've gone back in time. I dont like all the fanboy games like Zelda, Metroid and Mario..... Did anybody else have the same problem, did you solve it?. If so.......how?
"So basically by "fanboy" games, you mean..I don't like the popular things on the console because they are good. "
Fanboy dosen't always mean popular games, fanboy feels like a totally new word on nintendo, a fanboy for zelda would of played all the games, loved every single one of 'em and waits for the next game to come out. A fanboy on xbox say COD wouldve played COD 4 and MW:2.....it's kinda hard to explain ......

"You're either lazy, or you're not looking hard enough. I don't own a Wii, but I'll list a few that have been well received/appreciated:
"
- Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
- No More Heroes
- Little King's Story
- Dead Space Extraction
- de Blob
Played them all.... Nothing, and lazy, Ive spent more money on games than I did on the console and resident evil 4 is the only one ive enjoyed.
It depends on what kind of game you are looking for. The "fanboy" games are actually pretty good though, or at least the best you could probably get for right now. Try some of them out, and maybe get The Conduit 2 when it comes out, if it's really good. (Trust me, the first one isn't that good.)
"I post this same statement about 6 times a week. Go buy Muramasa: The Demon Blade. "I'm gunna check it out thanks for the heads up, unlike these statements that I specifically said i didn't like.

"Metroid Prime 3 is amazing. I know you said you didn't like the "fanboy" games but jeez, this game is just... spectacular. "

"Th "fanboy" games are all really good. There's a reason they have fans. "
"Yeah that is why they have fans but I feel like the fanboys on nintendo have been playing...let's say zelda or metroid for years......I'm not intrested, and the fact that you can't come up with a decent game is making me think I have made a big mistake!. "It sounds to me like you may have made a mistake. It's not that people can't come up with decent games for the Wii, it's that you're not interested in them. If you didn't get a Wii for Zelda, Metroid, or Mario, what did you get it for?
The Wii's main weakness is that almost all of its AAA games are first party, making them rather limited. Other than Mario, Zelda and Metroid you're going to be hard pressed to find any other Tier 1 titles. Games like No More Heroes and de Blob are certainly enjoyable, but if you're looking for GOTY-level titles (I'm presuming, by your reference to RE4), you're a bit out of luck especially if you don't like the first party Nintendo games previously mentioned.
" Sticking the Wiimote inside you? "I saw a chick do that once at a party, not inside me inside of herself
"Sounds to me like your a pretentious dick, Who bought a system without thinking about what he'd use it for.Sell your Wii cause you don't like it and then sell your 360 because I don't like running into people like you on Live. "
sonds to me like you're the pretencious dick........
The only game you noticed is Resident Evil 4?
Dude, there's this thing called GAMING WEBSITES that let you know what games you would like to play.
I hear they are very popular.
It annoys me how someone can be a fan of something as awesome as Hypnotoad yet can't understand the Wii.
im mereley asking a question, this console wasn't just made for mario, zelda and metroid, so stop all the moaning about thats what its made for, i dont know of any other console that was made for just three titles.
@Shirogane: yea i do love the games with friends, and you're right i want a solid singleplayer game....
I don't know why everyone is bitching about him using the word "fanboy." A games such as Metroid, Mario and Zelda are designed for fanboys then everyone. The cult just happens to be large.
If you want a fun RTS, try Dawn of Discovery.
Also, in fair of defense everyone else here, as Milkman said, the OP didn't bother explaining what games he is interested in.
I will join the chorus of "why didn't you research your purchase?" This makes no sense at all and I am afraid that recommending any game to you is an act in futility. However, if there is just one solid game to point you to, then it is Fire Emblem. If you don't like that, then you are truly a lost cause.

There already are threads for this, I don't see why you need to make a new one but anyway, here:
First you say you just got RE4, then you're presented with 5 *really* diverse games but suddenly have played them all, and liked none. Not to mention you completely ignore a few more one-off suggestions of great titles (Muramasa, add Monster Hunter Tri to the list, etc). What did you get a Wii for then? Online FPS games? I'm really sorry but suggestions online cannot treat extreme stupidity if you really bought a system for games you enjoy on other systems and it generally doesn't have. And what of "fanboy games" (perhaps a better term is first party games)? You also don't like platformers, first person adventures, fantasy action adventures, racing, role playing tactics games? I guess not, since many of those were already suggested as third party titles as well. Just sell your Wii and spare us the attention seeking drama, don't you have any 360 games to actually play instead of (clearly) post shit like this for entertainment?
Suck it up and play Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It's the only game on the console to get my full recommendation. It's excellent.
Also, if you never owned a Gamecube, buy yourself a GC controller and memory card and then you'll have a ton of great games you can play.
Not sure what you're into, Muramasa was kinda fun, but i finished it pretty quickly. The thing about the single player experiences on the Wii are that most of them won't last too long.
If you like RE4, maybe Shattered Memories?
For RPGs there are a few coming out, but try out the Tales games?
You could also check out Red Steel. Or the Conduit, neither are particularly great, but if you're looking for something on the Wii, they're the only things along those lines.
There's also the house of the dead games, and the RE chronicles games. Trauma Center is great, but you'll probably finish it real fast.
In short, there's not much on the Wii for what you're looking for, other platforms are where you'll want to go for the kinda single player experience you want. Wii is all about crazy fun, mainly with friends. And it's also not for hardcore amounts of gaming, better in smaller doses.
omg people are so defensive over this, and i like all sorts of games, if i would of asked this on the other 2 platforms i would of had answers without people bein mardy like, im mean a decent 'non fanboy' game for both is metro 2033 or heavy rain for the ps3 and blue dragon on the 360......its not hard. THANKS to all the people who have actually named games other than metroid, zelda and mario i will be sure to check em out, ive just found a good game :D:D MANHUNT 2

Wrong Answer. You should have said "Suck it down. Twiggy199 is going to make you his bitch."
I think you've clearly made a mistake buying a Wii, not cause there's anything wrong with the Wii, but if you don't like first party Nintendo stuff, you're kinda boned if you buy a Nintendo console. And I believe about 10 non Nintendo games have been mentioned now, none of which you like either. So yes, clearly a mistake.
I'm not sure what to tell you, I could have recommended quite a few third-party games but by the looks of these comments you're not interested in the very large majority of those. I don't mean to be offensive but if you didn't buy the console for first-party titles (and please don't refer to them as "fanboy games") and don't really know what third-party titles you want then what did you buy your Wii for? If you're really not interested in any of Nintendo's self-developed products or games like Dead Space: Extraction or No More Heroes then I think you're going to have to just decide that this isn't the console for you.
" @Godwind said:I like it more than Super Mario Galaxy." Also, you may want to check out NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. Not for everyone, but then again, I am sure everyone else will run my ass for it. "NiGHTS is an incredible, emotional game, if you can get past the fact that it is unfinished. "
"Manhunt 2 is just violence after violence. Way to reinforce the stereotype put against you here.omg people are so defensive over this, and i like all sorts of games, if i would of asked this on the other 2 platforms i would of had answers without people bein mardy like, im mean a decent 'non fanboy' game for both is metro 2033 or heavy rain for the ps3 and blue dragon on the 360......its not hard.

Then you got past it! I envy you.
