These are the last 7 Wii games I've bought. Tell me again that the Wii sucks.


Quoting myself here. I just realized that every game I listed is not available in America. If you are saying the American Wii sucks, I may have to agree with you.

I think he means more that the console never quite turned out the kinds of games he wanted. We were originally promised lightsaber duels for instance, and then Red Steel came out and wasn't what we expected, so a lot of folks became upset with the Wii. I think that's the kind of feeling he's trying to convey.

Then Red Steel 2 came out and Red Steel was forgiven.

Yes, but we should have gotten Red Steel 2 quality from the start.

@Inzuma

Ack understands what kind of thing I am trying to say
yea, the Wii turned a totally different animal.

as for the games you listed,
No I don't talk japanese...I buy American games...
and am not sure if the games you listed beat those on the ps3/360
even if they are good enough , they have to be better than the ones on the ps3/360

for example, Mario Galaxy beats ps3/360 it has nothing like it or as good as it is
Metroid is another
there are few other examples...

am not saying you are wrong about your game selection,
I just want to know if those games actually beat the ones on the ps3/360

>>>>>
Billy boot Camp is actually good?
I saw some videos of this guy and I kind of like him,
I thought the game was just a quick buck to make money based off his name
or are you making fun of me?

hahahaha am not a fanboy!
i actually had 360 THEN bought a Wii...i really wanted the Wii to be Nintendo's come back
well it kind of was...financially...

but heck why not
1)LA NOIR
2)Gears of War
3)LBP
4)Uncharted
5)Demon"s Soul
7) Heavy Rain
8) Alan Wake
9)Dead Rising
10) Left 4 Dead
11)Mass Effect
12)Assassin's Creed

and I don't even know what do they have on psn store or the xbox market place

I also made sure to pick EXCLUSIVE and NEW IPS that are specific to this generation only
I know some 360 games are not exclusive as they share it with Windows, but I make an exception since both are Microsoft...360 was built to share games with Windows as far as I understand.

Here is a list of exclusive no old IP's from previous generation, no ports, high scoring games...
Its another story if I counted older IPs like GT5, Tekken, Street Fighter 4, CoD, KillZone, RE5, Banjo Kazooie, Fable...etc

That list is pretty much why I think you're mistaking 'I personally do not like the Wii' with 'The Wii is a failure and here is concrete evidence why'.

That list just isn't very diverse. Other than Little Big Planet and Left 4 Dead it's just 3rd person adventure / action games for the most part. I think you like that particular type of gameplay (and nothing wrong with that whatsoever, we all have our own inclinations) and it just happens to be a genre that the Wii doesn't offer much of beyond No More Heroes, Madworld, and a few others.

Now for someone like me, I prefer cartoony, unrealistic games with lots of zany moments and arcade fun. So if we reverse our positions, I would make almost every statement you've made if I was to talk about the PS3 or Xbox 360.

Still, that doesn't mean that either of those systems is a failure. It just means that my preferences as a gamer are not met on either platform as your gaming inclinations are not met on the Wii.

Fortunately, as gamers we have NEVER before had so many choices. In this situation everyone is a winner.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
