I think I'm embarrassed by my Wii

[DededeCloneChris]

Maybe if you think outside the box, you would find lots of nice titles for the Wii.

Brawl is still a very nice fighting game.
No More Heroes has been a very strong series.
Tatsunoko VS. Capcom is coming out tomorrow, and the game itself looks very good.
MadWorld is the epitome of action and blood.
Twilight Princess might look like Ocarina of Time, but heck, it has a strong plot.
World of Goo is one of the best WiiWare titles of the Wii.
The Phoenix Wright series are being released for the Wii, even cheaper than the DS version.

In fact, replay value makes most of these games enjoyable.

Replay value? Phoenix Wright? I don't think those mix.  At all.

That's why I said "most games", dude.

If we're making lists now (this isn't including wiiware/VC) going off of exclusives only, this and my own opinions

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Mario Kart Wii
Super Paper Mario (Sucks compared to all other Mario RPG's)
Mario Strikers Charged (...Better than SPM but only good with 3 other people irl)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Tons of mixed opinions)
Metroid Prime 3/Trilogy
No More Heroes
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
World of Goo
Boom Blox Bash Party
Muramasa

Future Stuff: No More Heroes 2
Sin & Punishment 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Wii Zelda w/e
Other M
Dragon Quest X

etc; My main problem? I wouldn't actually pay 50$ for most of these. This applies to the PS3/360 exclusives as well. That, and the whole "Superior Prequel" thing running around + being short on free cash.

I mean, it's not a winning formula.

if you're talking about formula's wii's selling almost as much as the PS3/360 combined

It's not bad to appeal games towards a wider audience - It's all based on how they do it to me. Take for instance Fire Emblem; My friends can start on easy while I can start with playing on medium then hard. There was a time when we all started games awfully too. Oh how I still remember being stuck on the beginning of Earthbound searching everywhere

While there may be "good games" for the Wii, it doesn't help that it's treated like nothing more than some gimmick by most everybody except for some people like me.

And I'm embarrassed by it.

[DededeCloneChris]

For the love of god, just throw your stupid Wii, pessimist. You're missing a lot if you do, though.

[Cornwad]

I would try not to get so worked up about what a few people think. The people who say the Wii is gimmicky probably never sat down and played it for a while, or decided to hate it from the start. There are probably a lot of people who think that videogames in general are a gimmick, and you still play non Wii systems.

You're getting embarrassed by what other people think?

That's stupid to do in general.

Also you're talking about the people who just by Wii Sports and a few other games that start with "Wii" In them? That's nothing new.

>Strong plot
>Link tuns into a wolf.
I'd be the worst Zelda game yet if the DS games did not exist.

I prefer portable gaming to console gaming if the games are the exact same. So PW doesn't count. It's the same as the DS version.

Also, most of those games don't have much replay value.

A lot of people believe the Wii is gimmicky because half of the games use it as a gimmick. WAGGLE ACTION!!!!11 The Wii could be a great system, but sadly it's been bombarded by horrid games and developers aren't pushing it to its potential.

So they're trying to cater to the frat boys, the ten year old kids with short attention spans, and the casual player?

I would say that the Xbox 360 and PS3 cater to the frat boys and 10 year old kids. The Wii mainly caters the casual gamer.



But yeah, OP, the Wii is lacking on good games. This is old news. There are a few gems, but they're in a huge pile of poop.

HERE IS MY SUGGESTION

BUY A GAMECUBE AND A PS2
PRETEND THE WII NEVER CAME OUT

Show me where I can get sealed Gamecube games cheaply then.  Seriously.  I want an extra Sonic Adventure 2 just in case the other one is unreadable.

I find it funny I've been doing that ever since my Wii broke. Unintentionally, of course.

And now, I'm off to buy Mana Khemia.

[StarWindWizard7]

I must agree, a good amount of Wii games that have come out, Is out, and is Going to come out Was crap, Is crap and is Going to be crap.

You want to talk about embarrassing? Talk about walking down the video game aisle and seeing all these..... cutesy mini games, and 7 and under childish games. It's rather pathetic honestly.
Like 85+% is shovelware while the other games are decent at best. (With a few Great titles)

Now I can understand Nintendo wanting the Money by catering to a huge audience, that is a GREAT Business move- However, why sacrifice the good games that people like me could/would enjoy. Putting more or All the effort into some games instead of using barley anything for others.

Over all, I'm very contempt with my Wii.
I still play Super Smash Bros. Brawl (the only game I play most of the time), and I have a few other games that I'm satisfied with.
I'm glad the Wii is doing better then the other systems over all though. lol

I just wish Nintendo could of made games Both for Non gamers and Hardcore games Equally, that way everybody is happy.

[Cornwad]

To be fair, Nintendo isn't exactly making all of the Carnival Games and Petz out there. Most of the shovelware stuff was on the PS2 last gen because everyone had a PS2. They sell a whole lot better on the Wii so companies make those kind of games for Wii.

Yes you would.  I don't see how those two ">" contradict each other.

It's actually a good idea in theory, they just didn't too good a job with it.
