    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.

    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?

    Th "fanboy" games are all really good. There's a reason they have fans.

    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

    If in 6 months you haven't found a single decent game then maybe you should give up on the console.

    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 ......

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    Wii obviously isn't for you. It hasn't got your kinda games, and it's mainly for multiplayer madness when friends come over. You seem to want single player stuff. 
     
    And i didn't get into No More Heroes either, eh...maybe one day huh?

    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.

    Why don't you enlighten us on some genres and games that you do like? It would be easier to recommend something then.

    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.

    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.

    No offense, but, if you don't like the "fan boy games", you probably shouldn't have bought a Wii.

     but if you don't like first party Nintendo stuff, you're kinda boned if you buy a Nintendo console.  


    Nonsense. I don't like first party stuff either, but the Wii has the best 3rd party offering of any Nintendo console.

    What kind of party was that 0_o? "

    NiGHTS is an incredible, emotional game, if you can get past the fact that it is unfinished.

    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.

    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

    "
    Manhunt 2 is just violence after violence. Way to reinforce the stereotype put against you here.
