I really regret my purchase entirely. Since launch i may have spent no more than 10 hours on it. Its not because of the graphics because when i played SMG i thought it looke pretty good as well as SSBB. Neither have I finished them. I just dont really want to play them.

It's an interesting system, I know I've had a on-and-off relationship with my Wii, but I won't get rid of it, because you'll never know what crazy title will come out down the road; that and I always regret selling something from my gaming collective.

Funny enough those are the only two games I bought for the wii and I have put in a crazy amount of hours on it. Different strokes for different folks? I am also a PC gamer first and foremost.

well, many other wii owners have had plenty of fun with their wiis, and in all reality the wii doesn't cost THAT much money. In myopinion it is all in your frame of mind, whether you have fun with any of the gaming systems. a good quote I'd like to use here is; "what you see depends mostly on what you are looking for," if you don't think you'll have fun with a system than you likely wont, perhaps you should be more considerate in what you expect from said wii.

I haven't been too impressed with the Wii so far either. Although I will admit that Super Mario Galaxy and SSBB are both awesome games.

I am a PC gamer, and I 100% disagree with your opinion.


Why did you put that in your title anyway? To show that hermits hate the Wii?

Ah alright, well maybe those sorts of games just don't interest you. They were pretty great for me. A next generation Fire Emblem is enough reason for me to own a Wii, problem is waiting for it.

Your damn right you have to like it to be a gamer! I don't care if you think it's overrated and undeserving of Game of The Year, but if not one part of you is happy while playing it, your just some cyborg who can't shed a tear or spread a little love.

I just dont really want to play them.faisal123456

Nothing wrong with that. Of course, that doesn't really mean anything to anyone but you... The Wii isn't a waste of money for people who enjoy those games and others on the Wii.

I've had plenty of fun with my Wii... It's just taste; if you don't like the Wii I don't think anyone's going to kill you because of it. If you don't like it, get rid of it. What more could you want from us?

I'm primarily a PC gamer, and I have a wii. Mario Galaxy was a AWESOME game, but I don't want to finish it. Also, there are so little amount of good games on the system.

opinions and opinions threads are becoming more useless for arguments here in SW. I am a primary PC gamer that own an 8800 GTS 320 and own only a wii as my console. I have to say wii is great for me and offered me epicness and uniqueness in terms of the quality of games. PCWii is deefinitely the best combo for me this gen.

As a Wii owner I won't say it's a waste of money, but I will say it's considerably overpriced for what you get and a good majority of the games themselves should be $39.99 or less.

Agreed. I owned a Wii from Jan of 07 to nov of 07 buying SMG and LoZTP and i didnt play more than 15 hours on the machine. then i rebought a Wii after the SSBB launch and played a couple hours almost on the verge of crying SSBB was so horrible (i loved the last 2) and sold it again. So in all im going with about 25 hours of play on 2 wiis in the past year and some monthes. Thats how much time the Wii is worth imo (if that much)

im very glad i never got a wii, my friends play it when im over but tell my they get less and less out of it. stick with your 9600GT, great card, great price. ive ordered a 9800GTX (£200) so hopefully ill be enjoying top level gaming for years to come.

if you can get what you piad for the wii sell it, when ive played the wii ive enjoyed it for a while but then gotten a little bored
