Don't Like the Wii?

[Dukey]

The Wii is great, I am buying one in a few weeks, I honestly can't find anything wrong with it =)

It's fun, i dont regret getting it over a 360 but, It seems like good games aren't coming out quite as fast as good games for the 360. i'm not to happy with brawl either, the online servers suck. I hope they release a patch for wii speak compatibility with all wi-fi compatible games...

i'm also kida dissapointed in the fac that the wii remotes don't come with rechargeable batteries.

I recently played Wii and...I thought it was pretty bad...I didn't like it.
I thought the controls were fiddly and rather got to me...and personally I think they wrecked Mario Kart by adding too many little extra things to the racetracks.
I used to be a big gamer but I'm not as into it anymore + I don't care much for graphics so that has nothing to do with my contemplation of the console.
Loved N64 + NGC...but Wii's just not for me.
Anyone else here not like the Wii?
Please share your opinions.

I share these views. I found the controls to be unresponsive at times, I also feel that developers haven't put enough effort into Wii games. The whole thing is a shamble, most of the 3rd party titles are really bad shovelware or film tie ins, most of the 1st party games are really poor rehashes or spin offs of already over milked franchises like Mario and Zelda. I can't name more than 5 exclusives that i would consider good. The wireless connection is pretty poor half of the time, and the channels are a pointless gimmick. Nintendo has pretty much abandoned their old fanbase in favour of the casual market, who will literally buy anything. I'm not sure why so many people have stayed loyal to Nintendo really.

When I first played the Wii at my friend's house, I thought it was very idiotic and it was to hard for me to throw the football or play ping-pong or anything else.

Now I love it. All I need now is a Wii.

I think there's something you're all forgetting:

Nintendo never exactly intended to make an ultimate game experience for teens and young adults when they made the Wii.
It was designed for younger kids. Why else would there be very few mature games? Besides, like a few other people
have said, there are great games on the Wii like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Brawl. If people are looking for blood, sex, drugs and
maybe a different way of playing a game, buy a 360 (or a PS3 if you're loaded with cash). If things like Mario and Zelda don't
give you a kick anymore because you have to be constantly waving the Wii-mote around, don't play the Wii.

It was designed for younger kids. Why else would there be very few mature games?

Byproduct of once having quality control, censoring games back on the NES and SuperNES, and then sticking with cartridge-based media for the N64. Basically Nintendo ticked off a lot of third parties.

Once Sony came along where there wasn't quality control and censoring plus the addition of a better medium third parties jumped ship and haven't come back. Nintendo had almost zero third party support on the N64 and the GCN, which then led to the kiddie image of the console.

A couple of M titles have been developed or published by Nintendo, but they are essentially the Disney of gaming. They want to make family-friendly games, always have and always will. But, they do welcome all walks of life on their consoles. Since Iwata came, they dropped quality control and censoring and we now use discs. Unfortunately, the third parties don't want to come back...or at least make anything that isn't a minigame compilation.

I've grown tired of the Wii, because every other system gets good games (Gears of War 2, Halo 3, LittleBigPlanet, pretty much games I wish I could play) while the Wii is hanging out with Wii Fit and a bunch of other games that offer no real hardcore appeal. Even when there's a game that's multisystem (Star Wars the Force Unleashed to name one), the Wii is lacking in ratings compared to the Xbox 360.

The only reason that the Wii is doing so well is because there are a lot of kids, moms, and old people that want the Wii. I have little hope for Nintendo's future (except Pokemon. Pokemon's forever 8) ) so Microsoft now has my soul.

But in Nintendo's defense, the reason why there might be problems with Multisystem games is because of the fact that it's the Wii. Third Parties don't want to bother with the weird controls the Wii has. Nintendo should've just stuck with making a good system with better graphics than at least the PS2 (seriously, I think the Wii has the worst graphics), but then again, Nintendo wants money. Guess what. They're getting it.

I'm getting a Wii for christmas. The funny thing is that I've never played one or even touched the controller. So this will be new for me. I'm mostly buying it for Super Smash Bros Brawl, I'm not really a fan of Super Smash Bros as my copy of Melee is covered in dust. I'm hoping this will be different and fun..If this dosen't work out I've still got my other N64, Gamecube and SNES.. *Oh and some other consoles, but I wont show off*

PS3 Force Unleashed = 71.8
360 Force Unleashed = 73.2
Wii Force Unleashed = 72.3
No massive difference in ratings there.

You can complain about graphics, power, online, lack of games, etc. But, I never understand why people complain about Nintendo making family games. They're Nintendo! They've been making these games since the 80's. We saw Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Music when the system was first announced. You pretty much knew what you were buying. @_@

First off, the Wii has better graphics than the original Xbox. Last gen went Xbox>GCN>PS2. If developers didn't utilize that power that's their problem, not the fault of the console. Same thing this time around. Also, third parties don't want to bother making a good game because for some reason the good games don't sell. The third parties are selling more with crappy games on the Wii than they are with good games on the 360 and PS3, so...from their mindset? Why screw up a good thing? It's not just Nintendo making the money.

Ill still hold onto the Wii, with Madworld and NMH2 coming out for it. Its more than enough for me to have a Wii.

Do you have 2 64s? Didn't think so.

First off, the average reason anyone would HATE the Wii is because of the games. Hardcore gamers want the games offered by the 360 and PS3. If you don't like the games, too bad, sell it. Just keep in mind that there are other games that can be awesome as hell if you can actually adapt to the controls. Yes, it takes some time. But with correct judgment of the games, it could be the best console of your life. Just keep trying to adapt. Remember no quality or ability is obtained overnight.

Sure there's not a lot of seri0s buziness sort of games for the Wii, but, the Wii seems to be selling perfectly well without a lot of them. There's a lot of fun games out there, quality ones too.

Sometimes I get annoyed if my wii controller doesnt work like I want it to, but I'm generally crap at directing it in the right position.

The motion gestures I can see having a problem with. I don't know why so many people have pointer issues. It works so smoothly on the system. I absolutely love it *__* I wish there were more FPS titles to take advantage of it.

Is your sensor bar centred? Have you adjusted your Wiimotes' sensitivity? Any natural light sources nearby? Have you adjusted the sensor bar settings (some games, like Twilight Princess, have their own separate settings from the system)?
