wii for serious gamers?

Alright, so essentially; im a hardcore PC gamer. I want to break into the console market and was looking at the Wii, but does it have any serious and good games? Im a huge fan of mario so that's why I was looking into the Wii but does it have any other serious franchises or good games?

Thanx in advance

If you are a huge fan of Mario, then you should definitely look into picking up a Wii.

As for other franchises, Nintendo has a lot of great ones...

Metroid, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., WarioWare, etc.

Things are a little quieter on the third-party front, but games like No More Heroes and Okami may hold you over until 2009, when the Wii is going to be on the receiving end of a lot of (potentially) high-quality games from third-parties.

Also, if you are into retro gaming, the Virtual Console has a lot of great, hardcore games available for download.

Thanx man, thats definitely spurred me on in my search for a good console! lol

thanx

The wii doesnt have many serious games apart from mario and zelda I think its mainly for little kids or familiesstarkiller4

Well my main thinking behind this is that the majority of the games i want from the xbox 360 come to the PC anyway... and I just plain don't like the PS3. Wii is the most likely option for me (+ my love of mario games!)

If you already play a lot on the PC then a Wii is a good choice, as it offers exclusives you won't find on the PC, unlike the other two consoles.

Its also good since you said yourself you like Mario games and it does have super mario galaxy, which is fantastic. It's also a good console to play with a bunch of friends and like people said, it has Virtual Console for retro titles and some good third party games for the core like No More Heroes and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles as well as games like MadWorld coming up.

Thanx for all your help guys, I think Ive decided that I'm going to pick up a wii when I've got a little bit more money lol.

Maybe see you guys online at some point.

Quality/Core titles like - Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Metroid Corruption, Smash Bros. Brawl, and Mario Kart Wii those titles can last you a super long time. Great games to say the least. This holiday season, there ain't much to look forward too, other than Animal Crossing (with WiiSpeak). Though next year (2009) we have Little King's Story, The Conduit, Punch-Out!! Wii, and many more. And, if you're into the retro games you can always hit up the Virtual Console amazing classics with the best price tag.

Goodluck on your choice.
