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.
Why is the Wii a piece of shit?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros., and Super Mario Galaxy are pretty sweet.
Also, please take your fanboyism elsewhere. Thank you.
Because Nintendo decided short term gain was better than long term stability. I'd love to see another company make another casual product and robbing Nintendo of its install base, thereby leaving it devoid of both soft or hardcore players. And I'm not a fanboy, I got a Wii for Galaxy.
I don't see how someone with a ps3 alignment can say shit about wii. Wii has plenty of great games. A 360 owner can maybe talk shit cause as a nintendo #1 fan and microsoft #2 fan I can admit 360 has better games that Wii. But I prefer most Wii games cause I like games that are good. Sure Wii has some shitty games but how many of ones that were actually hyped truly sucked? Remember lair? Oh yeah what now bitch.

As much as I will try to be fair to the Wii, the PS3's library blows away the Wii's library. I think most people will agree.

"Because nintendo can not help making shit consloes.... what?
But the biggest fear for me is how many games went over to the Wii, like call of duty 3 and Brothers in arms.
what did they see in it?"

I just think the Wii is a piece of shit.
"HelixSnake said:I would say what cause you sound like a moron. Why should you care that a game you like is moving to the wii? Its not like its going to be made into a wii exclusive so you get to play it but there is no reason to complain cause another system gets the game you like. I know you ps3 fans are having trouble with the amount of good games but come on."Optiow said:what do you mean what?""Because nintendo can not help making shit consloes.... what?"

Not too mention all of the amazing multiplatform games like Call of Duty 4 and Burnout Paradise that aren't available on Wii, I will present you with this list:
- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
- Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
- Resistance: Fall of Man
- Resistance 2
- LittleBigPlanet
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- Warhawk
- Coming soon: inFamous
- Coming soon: Killzone 2
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Coming eventually: Punch out?
uncharted? lol okay. resistance duo? fine. Killzone, I agree. I am being fair but you are being less than fair for the wii.
Metroid prime 3, NO more heroes, Boom Blox, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Wii Sports. And more.
"uncharted? lol okay. resistance duo? fine. Killzone, I agree. I am being fair but you are being less than fair for the wii.The only problem is most gamers don't have any interesting in half those games. I'll give you No More Heroes and Metroid Prime 3, but the last three on those list probably won't convince any discerning gamer to run out and get a Wii.

And Uncharted is awesome! Have you played it?
Uh, I don't think the Wii is a piece of shit so much as the games that come out for it. Excluding most of the 1st party titles 3rd party is absolute garbage. Technically speaking the Wii is not that more advanced than the GC was. Nintendo marches to the beat of its own drum, however, so the fact that it is technically inferior to the 360 or PS3 doesn't faze the higher ups at Nintendo at all since, as we can all see, it's the #1 selling console this generation which is highly ironic considering it's not at all next gen. To each his own though. Personally I think they sold their soul to Satan because I've never seen a console with such a craptacular game library that continues to warrant such demand for the hardware.
"MasturbatingBear said:I would totally agree. Say what you want about PS3 exclusives but the fact is that the PS3 actually gets decent multiplatform ports... UNLIKE THE WII. A lot of the great games on Xbox 360 are also on the PS3 like Call of Duty 4, GTA4, Fallout 3 etc. The Wii's library is pathetic in comparison to either the PS3 or the XBOX 360."I don't see how someone with a ps3 alignment can say shit about wii.

"There are just no games that I like on the Wii.Are you 12... maybe 15. Surely a 16 year old wouldn't share your logic? I don't enjoy playing a lot of games on the 360 or PS3, but I respect the fact that the games I don't enjoy, many others do.
I don't like mario or sonic etc.
So I hate it."

^Agree. And the 360's too for that matter.

Thankyou!
I think the Wii has lots of good games, just depends on what type of gamer you are really. I like the Fire Emblem series so Radiant Dawn was an absolute buy for me, other games obviously include those that have been already said plus: Mario Kart wii is actually a pretty fun game and hey, resident evil 4 for wii wasn't so bad either.
At the moment I think the xbox 360 has the best selection of games, the PS3 is a great console, but the only game that I'm really interested in playing is MGS4.
I think it really falls down to personal preference in the end.

Excrement the Wii may be, but it's the best smelling kind I've bought.
I own a Wii and PS3. I can honestly say I've not touched the Wii since at least the end of Summer '08. I have Twilight Princess for the Cube (I don't consider it a Wii title), Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, and Rayman Raving Rabbids. Prime was a good game, having played the previous iterations on the Cube. It was good, but not a reason to own the system. Galaxy was a interesting piece. This was one where you could actually tell the difference between the graphical horsepower between the Cube and Wii. It didn't outshine by much, but you could tell. Galaxy was the last game I bought for the Wii.
My PS3 is getting constant use. Besides the Blu Ray player functionality, I have about 20GBs of music on there, trailers and featuretts galore (Retrospectives shout out!) and those game things. There is no reason not to use my PS3 for my purposes. I've recently bought Prince of Persia, Dead Space, PixelJunk Eden, and Ico - I have the 60gb version.
I'm actually debating whether or not to sell the Wii. The only reason I can think of keeping it around is for the next Zelda and . . . . . I'm actually drawing a blank. Mad World looks a bit interesting, but maybe too much of a one trick pony.
I want the Wii to be good, but it's just not catering to what I'm willing to buy.
Fanboys..
PS3 = Amazing Console.
Wii = Amazing Console.
X360 = Amazing Console.
Dont be a console fanboy..be a game fanboy
The wii is like the nerdy bullied underdog in the teen movie that somehow becomes cool and turns into a vacuous douchebag. Hopefully Nintendo will observe the usual character arc and come to their senses some time in the third act... but I doubt it.
Yes that's right, the Wii is Nintendo's Molly Ringwald. Only without the red pubes.
"Because Nintendo applied the "Gamecube strategy.""Actually, they applied the DS strategy. Worked a treat.
Wii:"
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Coming eventually: Punch out
Just because most games on the Wii don't sell millions and have terrible word of mouth doesn't mean they don't exist.
