Bought my Wii yesterday, taking it back tomorrow!

This is not a flame. I am simply amazed at the lack of games on the WII. I have the upmost respect for long time nintendo gamers. However, I never liked mario, smash brothers, mario cart, pokemon, etc. The top rated games on the WII all belong in those categories. I only found 1 cool game "no more heroes" and thats it. I'm a 22 year old gamer looking for games, not childs play. Nintendo also wants you to shell out 35$ for component cables!!!How is this thing outselling the rest of the systems?

(ps if there are any good games not related to mario, donkey kong, pokemon, etc. please let me know)

What games do you actually have?

I kinda agree with you, but I love the Mario games, but I'm not a fan of smash brothers or pokemon so right now the games dont really seem all that great but you should try MP3 its pretty good and looks nice

I'm a 22 year old gamer looking for games, not childs play. Brandon_

That is such an immature statement.

Hey, next time you should research a product before you shell out $250.

why would you buy a wii if you know you didnt like nintendo characters. thats like buying a 360 and saying u dont like Shooters then there isnt much left. youre right, there are not many other great games other than mario, but thats the reason most people get a wii. sullivan352

That's true. That's why I won't get a 360. Shooters took the market and they oversaturated it. However, I want more Wii games than 360 and PS3 games and by the way I'm 24.

Here's what I'm looking right now for the immediate future.

Tales of Symphonia 2
Fragile
Little King's Story
Fatal Frame IV
Deadly Creatures
Sonic Unleashed
Spyborgs
Mushroom Men

as soon as you said "$35 for components" I know that you are pathetic at research.

I want a PS3 for MGS4 but that does not mean I will buy the console at launch. Whats worse is that

1) you are 22, kids show the same behavior as you

2) you are a hardcore gamer ie mostly hardocre gamers come to forums.

You're taking it back?

DUDE! Sell it on ebay!

I call fakeboy, unless you really are that dumb not to look into what games a system has before you buy it. eitherway, dumb.

on another note, is it still hard to find a wii where you guys are? you can usually find one here pretty easily, I went into a Shoppers Drug Mart the other day and they had a little section of games and four wiis for sale.

Shoudlnt' you have done this research BEFORE your bought the wii?

I don't really have any sympathy for you. It's your job to look at the library and decide if it's the right sonsole for you

I actually sort of agree with the TC. Although I am really enjoying my Wii so far (bought it last week), I can't seem to help the fact that there is just something missing. I have Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and Mario Galaxy, and those games are fun and all, but they do not seem to justify my $250 purchase.

I think the Wii has great potential, but right now it just seems a little boring to me. Don't get me wrong - this is definately the most inovative and coolest console I have ever owned, but for right now, I'll probably just go back to my 360.

This is not a flame.....I'm a 22 year old gamer looking for games, not childs play......

Coulda fooled me.....

I'm a 22 year old gamer as well, and the Wii is easily my favorite console out right now, I'm even saying that as an XBox 360 owner. You were acting childish by not researching the console and it's software before spending all that money on it. Better luck next time.....

On a side note, you can get component cables for around $5-10 depending on where you look. Good job.

You don't like Nintendo games and bought a Wii? Epic phail.

Oh, and you wonder why the Wii sells so much? Because most of the people do like at least some Nintendo games.

There are some good games in the FPS sector coming up that you should check out, mainly The Conduit and Call of Duty 5. Don't forget Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and MadWorld, too (although I wouldn't personally play MadWorld, because it's violence is too much for my taste...). Again, Metroid Prime 3, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Battalion Wars, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles are all great games as well. I would also advise at least renting some of the other greats, such as Mario Galaxy, if you haven't tried them yet.

I second the call of shenanigans. If you knew anything about the Wii, you would have known the available games, would have known that the component cables can be bought cheaper, would have known that you could net a couple hundred on ebay, and wouldn't be talking about how you're too old for this console.

If you somehow managed to walk into a store that had one and still know absolutely nothing about this product, then you're only begging the question of how you could be considered a "hardcore" gamer and know nothing about the fastest selling console in HISTORY!!

If you've already taken it back, then you've made a big mistake. Here are some games that you ought to try:

1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl

2. Super Mario Galaxy

3. Wii Fit

4. Mario Kart Wii

5. No More Heroes

6. Resident Evil 4 Wii

7. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

8. Wario Ware: Smooth Moves

18. Okami Wii

19. Rock Band

There. Now you have a list of things Nintendo and nonNintendo. If you don't like any of these then you either need to broaden your horizon or give up on being a gamer.

he said he didn't like mario, smash bros., donkey kong ect. but the other recommendations are good choices.

Off subject, but does your sig mean ticking prince... ticking?? i am pretty sure that is what it means.

wow... that is just idotic

i was 15 when i bought my wii and did plenty of resherch to make sure i had games i knew i would like

Wow, what a shallow view of gaming you have. What do you mean lack of games on the Wii? How could you not like Mario, or Smash Bros for that matter? I can understand if you don't like Pokemon, there's a lot of people that don't. But come on now, it almost sounds like you're afraid to give great games a chance. I'm 22 as well, and I've always enjoyed just about everything that Nintendo has to offer. If you're looking for games as you say, then Nintendo is the best choice and selling your Wii is well, absurd. There's a ton of great games that aren't related to Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, games like Zelda: Twighlight Princess, Wii Fit, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors, Endless Ocean, Guitar Hero 3, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Sonic and the Secret Rings. Not to mention there's a ton of Virtual Console and Wii Ware games to download. You should really keep your Wii and give it chance, you'll regret it later on.

*cough* implusive buyer *cough*

yea you must not be very bright to buy a nintendo console and not like there stuff

either that your not a real gamer and didnt do your reserach or you are rich and have money to piss away

either way its not good,

and espcially that comment bout wii being childish and you are 22 looks like you are the child who know what they want

lol the guy bought it and realizes after that there's no games he likes.

You're making yourself look really smart there.

Somebody I know said not everyone has common sense. I didn't believe him.. then.

But I research products so much before I buy them I end up not buying them. With that said research is never a bad thing, in fact the Wii has tons of fun things to do. It wont hurt anybody but you if you take it back.

?? Were you living under a rock? Why buy a system in the first place if you don't even know what games it has.

Zelda TP, RE:4, Metroid Prime 3.......all those are good games (at least I think so).

If you think No More Heroes is the only good game on Wii I feel sorry for you, thats the only Wii game so far I regret buying and I only paid $30 for it. Talk about the most over rated piece of beta trash.
