Do you think the Wii is pointless if you dont have internet?

I am not saying it is or isn't. I just want to see everyones opinions.

For me, the online capability to download VC games and use the internet channel and play against others through Wi-Fi makes the Wii a lot better, but it can live without it. What do you guys think?

The Wii is only good for downloading VC games at this point. As far as gameplay is concerned, Pokemon Battle Revolution was the biggest disappointment. Hopefully Super Smash Bros. Brawl will make Wi-fi worth playing.

It isn't pointless if you don't have internet, you just get a few extra features.

Definitely not...

While the wii has some neat online features, the bulk of the great games so far don't have any online features; If you want the system for VC titles, sure, it's pointless, but if you want it for games such as MP3 and SMG (which, imo, is the main reason people buy the console) you'd hardly know the difference.

No game system is pointless without internet.... except for your PC.EndlessPunisher

Hahaha true that.

No it doesnt. Of all the consoles it uses the internet the least..theICE_MAN

Pointless? Definitely not.

Does it make the experience better? Heck yes, it does.

Well, it's not exactly pointless. You can still play games and such. But without internet, you're severly limited. There's no Wii updates, very few channels become available to you, no VC downloads, and no Wi-Fi play in games.

Still, there are several games that you don't need the internet to enjoy like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3.

Thst is true. W/O internet on ur wii is still fun, but it gives extra features like Check Mii out Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, and Wii friends.

Was the NES pointless because it didn't use the internet?

Was the SNES pointless because it didn't use the internet?

Was the N64 pointless because it didn't use the internet?

Was the Gamecube pointless because it didn't use the internet?

Was the Gameboy, Gameboy Advance or the Gameboy Advance SP piontless because they didn't use the internet?

Or how about the Genesis, and the 3DO and the PS1?

Online gaming isn't everything. Sometimes a game is actually *gasp* fun to play because it's...fun to play, not just because of online multiplayer.
