Whats so good about Wii?

I honestly don't see whats so good about the Wii. Its cheap price tag, and innovative controller made it sell very large amounts of copies, but I am just not into it. The Controller may be fun for minigames, but it doesn't seem good for Shooters. All the current FPS games for theWii are terrible, Red Steel has cool controls with the Wii, but passed that, the game has nothing new, the game is just too generic and is presents nothing new. COD3 has no multiplayer. The game currently has no online, and thats where all the replay value comes from. The Wii is also left out by Developers because of its weaker graphics. While PS3 and 360 has huge upcoming titles such as Resident Evil 5, the Wii has some stupid looking Resident Evil 1st person shooter. They also have Devin May Cry 4, the Wii is left out because of its poor graphics. Game Developer's don't seem to take the Wii seriously, they just make it a sloppy port with some wackly control's that doesn't take the Wii's superior Controller to its advantage. Resident Evil 4 had increadible graphics, one of the best I have seen on a console, but developers are not pushing the Wii's graphics to the limit. Wii probably has slightly better graphics than Gamecube, but I haven't seen any games that look good like Metroid Prime and RE4. (not counting the port).

....ummmm ask yourself "When did the Wii come out"?

The PS3 also has crappy games right now so.....ummmm.....THIS TOPICFAILS

Here's what I'm looking:

Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Zack & Wiki
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers
NiGHTS
Opoona
Secrets Files: Tungetsa
Dewy's Adventure
Batallion Wars 2
Soul Calibur Legends

See I'm more open-minded than you and your boring shooters. That's what I can on Wii plus the VC with real hardcore games on the 16 bits era.

What's Tungetsa? Never heard of it before. I'm assuming it's some sort of mystery game (hence the name "Secret Files")?

I don't think it should be in system wars.

I have owned a Wii since a week or two after launch, and I am currently wondering What the hell is everyone playing?

Sure the jiggletronics are something we haven't done before, but once you've done it, you wonder to yourself...ok...that's it?

I am honestly sincerely curious as to what everyone is playing/buying that make it this insane crazy phenomenon, because I own Zelda, Paper Mario, and have rented a ton of party games. The thing is, when I have friends over, sure we have a good time with the occasional party game, have a chuckle...but we also have a great time with the smackdown of a Tekken game, a multiplayer FPS, or an MMO, and when they leave I still have some Oblivion type game, or online fun to jump into. Whereas my Wii I've exhausted my 1 player fun pretty hardcore...like I let my sister borrow it for 3 months and forgot I owned a Wii.

So let me just state my opinion on what has been said here. The concept for the system is revolutionary, but I'm beginning to wonder if its really something the industry needed, or if it's Nintendo's excuse to make a CHEAP console, sell it for way more than it costs them, and all the while they make you feel like they're cutting edge.

And just to clarify, yeah the PS3's games were a bit off at launch...but nothing as clusterkong as I've seen passing on the Wii for nextgen games.

Try Sonic and the Secret Rings. Fun game indeed. Or how about...Godfather? To tell you the truth I only own Sonic. I've played a couple Wii games and they'refun. Let's see, how about trying Madden. Even if you dislike madden it'sstill prettyfun.

Or how about Mortal Kombat? Or scarface? All you really listed are shooters and fighting and at the moment the Wii is short of games. Just don't sell it as you'll no doubt regret doing so when the good games come out.

Well either way, If they packed Smash Brothers into a box with a Wii, and said, only game to ever be released, I'd still pay full price. Me and my friends still have like 20 people big, 8 hours long tourneys and crap with Melee.

What I'm getting at is the Wii's 1 player experience, which has shown me basically nothing so far, since Zelda couldve been played on the Gamecube, without messing with the game's history as much as the Wii version did.

Oh and, I never sell games, ever. I own every game I've ever bought still, back to Megaman 1 and 2, in their boxes with books...so I'm not going to sell my Wii...I'm just concerned about it. Is it going to give me the epic, engrossing experience I look for in games, or a bunch of "slap your friends with a wet cat by flicking the Wiimote" kinda stuff.

Bottom line, it'll have some goodies...but I'm still itching for more.

IThe Wii is also left out by Developers because of its weaker graphics .... Game Developer's don't seem to take the Wii seriously, they just make it a sloppy port with some wackly control's that doesn't take the Wii's superior Controller to its advantage.

Not good for shooters...you played any exept a rushed red steel and bad call of duty? Wait for metroid prime 3 and some proper fps games before you bahs the controls with FPS. It should be just as good as a mouse and keyboard...on a console.

Graphics wise the games suck atm, but the machine can handle noticeably more then the gamecube, and in theory, more then the xbox1. You want to say mario galaxy video's don't look like xbox360 launch games??? It does, only not in hd res. Wait for games like that to come out, and then beg me for forgiveness about your graphic bash. Slightly better then GC...lawl.
