    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006.

It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    To start, NO DOUCHEBAGS who say, "i regret teh wii lolz." If so, don't come to the Wii forums.

    Mine are:
        -Red Steel. I didn't touch it after completing it.
        -Mario Strikers. The online gets assier by the day as everyone finds new ways of being a prick.
        -Medal of Honor Heroes 2. The game is just crap, except for the controls.

    You must enjoy posting sensation now!

    I'm guessing the TP stands for Toilet paper. Because there's SHIT on it. Just like Zelda TP. DAYYMMNN

    I've made pretty good choices honestly... though I kind of regret buying WarioWare day one for 50 bucks (it's a pretty short game).

    Soul Calibur legends, I was fooled by it; I saw "Soul calibur" in the title and thought it would be good...silly mistake.

    Super Smash Bros Brawl because of how bad online is.  The terrible lag in online play, the exchanging of friend codes, and lack of voice communication with people on your friends list sucks.  The Smash Bros series is great if you can get people to your house to play it, but if you can't it's pretty boring.

    I semi-regret purchasing Mario Kart as well.  At least with MK the online is lag free and the single-player is a bit more palatable.  Still no voice communication and the hurdles of friends code prevent online from being very enjoyable.

    Red Steel, day one purchase - turned out to be horrendous.

    Even though I have bought the fewest titles by far for my Wii compared to my 360 and PS3, they've all been good - just few a far between unfortunately.

    Prime 3, TP, Galaxy, RE4 port, etc. Definitely don't regret any of those.

    Red Steel the only fucking clunker I bought. Ubi's pre-release hype got to me I guess, those fuckers.

    Driver: Parallel Lines

    First and foremost, the controls. I found them awkward to say the least. The nunchuk steering/braking... YUCK! And the game was dull overall.

    I didn't buy it, so I might be disqualified... but "Mario and Sonic and the Olympic Games" was nothing to get excited about.   I've played it once in the last 4 months that we've had it. 

    Meh.

    Nothing so far. Rayman Raving Rabbids would be the one that came closest, but I do like a few of the modes, and I got it for the right price (about $20)

    None. I don't regret any games so far and I hope never to.

    The biggest risk I took with a Wii game was with Fire Emblem, which I hoped I wasn't going to regret. Turns out it became one of my favourite games of all time.

    Metroid on VC. I suck at the Metroid games. I don't know why, I just can't play them well. It's always like, everyone else always seems to know what they're doing and I'm always wandering around confused.... And that Metroid is the most confusing....

    FFCC:My Life as a King. I bought and never played past the first day. Bought all the first DLC too. I'll go back and play it, but I really wish I had waited longer for more reviews....I knew what the game entailed, but I thought it was going to be better than it was.

    Cooking Mama.  Much better on the DS.  And Red Steel.  That was a launch day impulse buy.  Also the Wii in general.   Had I known I would've been funding nonsense like Wii Fit and Wii Music and anything for babies with Wii in the title, I would've held back.

    Good job, you just broke the rules of the thread. Try reading the instructions next time, or read them twice, once before and once after writing your post. Do this, and you can avoid being a prick. Thank you.
