Some may not know this since the case only lists the Wiimote and Nunchuck icons. Metal Slug Anthology is THE game that justifies getting a vertical Wii with Gamecube controller port capability. Even though it does not work with a Classic Controller, there are GC adapters for Playstation Arcade sticks.

That's just the default scheme. There's a Gamecube controller one that works the best.

The reason I highlighted the ports and remakes is that ports and remakes are not enough of a reason to defend a console (unless the remakes is like from SNES to 2.5D or PSX to PS3 graphics). Let us imagine that the Sega Saturn was a mashup of PSX+64 games and some ports from Genesis and 3DO . It keeps a very little reason to defend the console within itself because you either own those games from earlier generations or owned another console of the same generation that has the same games + exclusives.

Razzmatazz and prfsnl_gmr gave a much better Wii specific games that makes me rethink storing my Wii into the closet, even though most of those games are not my cup of tea.

Does anyone think that the wii has more exclusives than the xbox or ps3? I kind of feel like it was the last console of this generation to have more exclusive titles that the 360 or ps3

I'm going to have to look over that list and see what I haven't tried yet, as every single Wii game I've bought so far since I got the system has dissapointed me. That's the first Nintendo console I've every owned that I can say that about. So far, the Wii has been a colossal waste of money for me

Even with their small libraries the Gamecube and N64 gave me games I cherish like Resident Evil 4(which is and always will be a GC game in my eyes), Mischief Makers, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin 2 and Conker's Bad Fur Day

The Wii has just done nothing for me yet. I actually started playing No More Heroes the other day and it bored me to tears. That just seems to be the pattern with a lot of Wii games I try. I should give Batman: The Brave and the Bold a shot. It looks good from everything I've seen. And I have planned to play through Zak and Miri once, but distracted by other games

EDIT: My bad, I forgot The Last Story, which while I never finished it actually seemed pretty awesome
