I am a nintendo fan, console-wise. However, I think the PC is the best gaming system. Therefore, I will spend my cash buying/upgrading a mighty PC rather than a PS3 or an XBOX360. The PC will win in terms of Graphics and many of the hyped games for the two systems are coming on it. However, every now and then I want some of the unique console experience.
My theory is, if I get a Wii, I might have a cheap console with very nice games. However, where are the freaking games? I still like Zelda, but it no longer is a must buy for me. Super Smash Bros Brawl, Fire Emblem, and Metroid Prime 3 might be, but I won't buy a system for a few good games. And many of the other popular games are just party games. The 3rd party support is better than the GameCube (which was a disappointment for myself and my wallet), but the 3rd party support is all about lazy ass ports or minigames. So many minigames are coming out, they are fun, but where are the games that are epic and absorbing. Where is the creativity of Nintendo? It seems they are focusing on bringing as many half games and minigames as possible, which sucks (No I'm not looking for a Mario Party game, WarioWare should be enough).
I understand that the developers didn't jumb on the Wii bandwagon until after launch, but where the hell are the announcements then? It seems the PS3 and Xbox are getting really cool franchises like Winning Eleven and RE 5 and God of War. The thing is, it seems like game companies still view the Wii as a kiddy console(not an all-gamers' console as many of you would suggest), that's why Konami develops childish character games for it, rather than a Metal Gear game. That's why SquareEnix is not releasing a real Final Fantasy game for it (I hate final Final Fantasy but XII was a great game). Nintendo says the system will be for everybody, but they have nothing yet for the core gamers. I mean playing Mario games is becoming embarrasing no matter how fun it is. And before you give me the argument that how the characters look doesn't matter, imagine how crappy metroid would be if they made Samus a super deformed heroine and the space pirates as cute looking banana-throwing monkeys with sparkling eyes.
I am not a fan of Playstation games(aside from Shadow of the Coloussus, God of War and Resident Evil). So I won't buy one, nor will I buy an Xbox as I like the type of games even less. Therefor, my PC is fine for now, I hope to hear better news about the Wii in terms of better games, before I decide I want one.
