The Wii... Sucks

[Germ Hamee]

I've already got TP on the GC and may never play it again since I got bored senseless after two dungeons (it's OoT all over again no matter which way you look at it).

I'll agree that TP has an identity crisis during the first few dungeons, but it really develops into it's own thing after you get through the initial set of temples. The nostalgia factor was enough to get me through the same-old-same-old. Then again, I was a huge fan of OoT.

In that time, I've picked up seven games. Two being dedicated exclusives, and VF5 being exclusive until August. I have to say as well that I've enjoyed every one of them far more than every Wii game I've played. As far as I'm concerned, I've already gotten my money's worth out of the console, and by the end of the year, I'll be playing games like Lair, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Heavenly Sword, MGS4, Warhawk, and Socom, and those are just the exclusive titles that I'm looking forward to. Go ahead; ask me if I'm dissapointed with my purchase.

That's great! I haven't been impressed with any of the half-assed titles that I've played so far, but I'm sure it's just a personal preference. They were by all means pretty, but I didn't enjoy playing them at all. I couldn't even get myself to enjoy Resistance, which is apparently the best game PS3 has out for it right now. I am, however, looking forward to Lair, and a handful of other titles forthcoming. But if I bought one right now, the only thing I would be able to do with it is keep it clean and watch movies. With the Wii, I've spent far less than half of what you have with the PS3, and I'll bet I'm just as satisfied with it as you are with your Playstation. To each his own.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more great titles than the Wii has released at this point.

I really do think it's a bit unreasonable, especially considering the kind of system Wii is. Again, the DS went through the same thing. Developers were a little too excited to exploit the touch screen features and the library was just a pool of mini-games. It took awhile before they figured out how to really develop great games for the system. The same thing seems to be happening with the Wii, and it's to be totally expected. I'm personally shocked that they've squeezed out any decent games at all. Wii is the kind of system that takes some serious growing into.

I also thought the DS was a gimmick system when it came out. Now I think it is a system with a gimmick. Seriously, aside from EBA, everything I've played makes little to no use of the Stylus - Theme Park comes closest in fact, and there's little if anything there that can't be reproduced otherwise. It's an absolutely fantastic system that was worth every penny, but I didn't get it because it's got anything unique in terms of the console itself - I got it because it's got some unique games (Pokemon).

Well said!
