I have never said that the Wii itself sucks, my problem is with them ripping consumers off for what they get. I have a big problem with you and Nintendo not giving a shit if there are any good games ever made on the Wii, as long as they move consoles.
You have a problem with me because I am happy playng the Wii and my gaming diversity is wider than just guns, shooting, and Sci-fi story with HD graphics. You have a problem with Nintendo because you don' t even know what their direction with the Wii was in the first place.. Your expecting what games?? scaled down versions of Gears of War, bioshock? GTA4? I really don' t understand what you want from the Wii? The Name ' Wii' is a signal that its not just your average 360 or PS3, it' s aim is to draw new gamers to the market.. Nintendo had to make money, being 100% hardcore (GC) was not healthy for Nintendo as a business to compete against much richer Companies. Wii and DS are more or less the saviors for Nintendo (and gaming in general).. Your Thinking of just the Nintendogs and wiifits!! but totally ignoring the many, many great titles that came out and will continue to come out on these platforms simply due to Nintendo' s direction, especially with the controllers... which leads to:
Ultimately you buy consoles to play games on. Not to sit on your couch with your friends bragging about a new revolutionary control that has great potential but little to nothing to show for it
Again, because your lack of gaming variety or just sheer ignorance, you would know there are a good handful of great games for the Wii (taking in Nintendo' s new strategy) that are Exclusive to the Wii plattform, in terms of rights or of it' s unique controls.
Here are the Wii titles I own, play to death, replay and will never dream of taking off my shelf (take note, i consider myself a VERY fussy gamer, with high standards to please):
Mario Galaxy (to cut VX' s and Masters dribble)... is now the 2nd? highest rated game of all time and GOTY 2007 (and lets take in mind 2007 was one of the very best gaming years ever).. Ignorant people can argue all you wan' t but it won' t change these facts or the average view of what most gamers think of it.
SMG = Untouchable.
SSBB = Untouchable.
PES2008 = Untouchable.
Metroid Prime 3 = Untouchable.
Mario Kart Wii = Sheer class.
Zelda TP = Class (not OOT, oops)
No more Heros = Kick Ass (and not in the fake Ninja-gaiden sytle to please westoners).. TRUE manga Kick Ass)
Trama Centre: Second Opinion = Great
Super Paper = Great
RES4 = Great
Zak & Wikki = Great
For my Arcade-needs:
HOTD pack = Good (replay for Scores)
Ghost Squad = Good (replay for score)
Just for the Record, in comparison with other Consoles/PC games that' ll never leave my Shelf :
PC Quake III = In my DNA
GT-R2 & Live For Speed = In my DNA
Xblive Ikaruga = In my DNA
VF5 = In my DNA
Crysis = Sheer Class
Ace combat 5 = Great
Dead Rising = Great
Forza 2 = Great
..
Back To Mario Kart Wii, as you see, ive rated it as Sheer class. Because it is..3 Hours of challenging yesterday night taught me a lot of things. A F.ucking supreamly polished title, not just it' s engine / Visuals but the design. Soo much fun to play too. Overall, it' s by far the Best MK!!
