I'm 27 and have been with my girl for over seven years. Yes I am the same guy who made the excercise thread yesterday. What I have learned in my years is ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP THE WOMAN HAPPY. Trust me on this one. I tried to convince her that we didn't need a Wii, We can play Dance Dance Revolution on the 360. She wanted no part of it and actually got a little pissed that I tried to change "our" plans. I told her that I would go half in on her for a Wii, xtra controller, and 3 games before xmas.. I figured she would of forgotten. Oh no, she did not.

To avoid being in the dog house, I am going to have to pay my part and hopefully like it.

Well, the 360 is not a machine that well rounded for casual female gamers, even I knew that.

I have seen some very selfish guys just not care, but they aren't allowed to play games at certain times, due to the females complaining they don't spend enough time with them.

Good for you, you woke up and realized the 360 doesn't cater to everyone the way the PS2 did.

Just so you know, the Wii doesn't have a lot of games, so she will get dissappointed after awhile, however a PS2 will keep her busy for years. Of Course, the Wii will eventually get more games up here alley, so it's a safe bet, as all the 360 can do is alienate her.

Oh, and some more advice. If you don't want to get the console all you have to say is "Honey, we don't need video games when we have each other!". It works like a charm! Trust me. ;)

Never let a girl define who you are. If she loves you, she knows this is important to you, then you can just talk to her...

She wants WarioWare Smooth Moves, Raymond Rabbits, and DDR.  I just want Zelda.  She can't use regular controllers because "I can't control them right"

I agree with you to a point. My ex-g/f like playing Geometry Wars and Hexic. But other than that, there really is nothing there, Viva Pinata would have been THE game to break the stigma, too bad Microsoft didn't market it.

You can play Mario DDR on the Wii also and the new DDR comming out sounds great. Rayman a blast I had so much fun playing it I put down Zelda untill I had beat Rayman.

I noticed the same with my girl, Geometry Wars, Hexic, and Viva Pinata...but in the end, those were just substitute games for what she really wanted. They were something to play, but she didn't love them as much as she loved Mario, Sims, Jak, Zelda, Champions of Norrath, and other puzzlers. There just isn't enough there at this time.

Even the old Xbox suffered in that category as well.

"my wife wanted a wii, and I didn't want to buy a wii...  So we compromised and bought a Wii."

Now maybe she'll won't be hogging the 360 all the time.

Mine doesn't consider video games related things present worthy but I'm expected to buy them for her either way so you could have it worse.

Have her pay for 100% of the Wii and go put it on your old TV. The woman should be far more concerned about keeping the man happy!

Wii has plenty of games to keep a casual female occupied for years. Wii Sports, Rayman, Monkeyball, Wario Ware, Mario Party? That would last someone who rarely plays games a very long time.

Yeah, that's how it works. :roll: Note the eye-rolling, implying sarcasm.



khansoul has never had a woman.  Also, I do still have my lovely 360 so no loss.  I'll buy DDR for the 360 because of the enhanced visuals and whatever else they throw in.

Wii Sports should not be underestimated...that's probably what my gf plays most, since we discovered the fitness and training modes. Rayman and Wario Ware are wierd and funny. She loves those, too. Dude, she's even entertained just making Miis! Trust me, it's worth $125 to watch her flail around and generally have a great time.

Don't waste your money on enhanced visuals for something like DDR since you're staring at arrows the entire game. At most they'd add different dances and songs.

She really wasn't. She never touched the things before me, but Champions she would only play WITH ME, never singleplayer, Zelda and Jak as long as We took turns and I played WITH HER, and Mario, Puzzlers, and Sims she would do without me.

Still, I did my work converting her to where she's at...

No, I have a Wii, and she doens't like Wii Sports or Rayman (I liked Rayman though.). Monkey ball is Bleh, and Wario Ware is the only one she will even touch...Mario Party isn't even Close to out yet...

W/E. Zelda is fun, and lasts a long while, Wario Ware controls extremely well, DDR - can't wait, and RRR is okay, not great imo.

I'm Recomending Trauma Center Second Opinion it is really fun.

Wow... that's sad when you let your own fanboyism control you, and would not shell out the money to cater to your girlfriend just to bye her a Wii. :| "OMG I bought teh Wii! :cry: I supported Nintendo! Now I'm forced to play it! :cry: " If you don't wanna, don't play it. Let her have it then, if you feel so much as "disgusted" to play the Wii when she asks you to, perhaps you should try and find someone else.

Financially, at least it isn't the powerhouse known as the PS3...:D...Lasting...??? I'm 17 and I find it difficult to swing air for the 4-8 years for a Wii...swinging that same air...yeah...I'm sorry for you...hopefully the Wii will make some game that lets you do something besides play with air...but how? :D That's right, they'll just give up after seven good games.

It's really not a bad console, you might actually have some fun to boot.
