The Wii really delivered this generation.

Although the Wii gets alot of blind hate, as we draw near to the end of the generation, I think it really delivered.

Third party support wasn't the best, but we still got some games worth mentioning.

i'll admit things looked bad at the beginning of the gen, but Nintendo released alot of great games for their fans in the end.

The only thing they haven't gotten is StarFox and F-Zero. We have a new Zelda coming , If LS and XB are localised, if we get that new Kirby game and that Pandora's Tower thing turns out to be great (and localised as well), then they would have sealed the deal.

Here's a toast to the Wii , to the year ahead and to all its haters. No matter what you say, it turned out to be a great console in the end.

it's got great exclusives, but the lack of multiplats really hurts it imo

There is no denying, the Wii has done exceptionally well this gen, however, I am still goping to stick with the HD consoles and the pc :P

Just comes to show, raw power isn't everything. The point of a game is to enjoy it for as long as possible. Eye candy is fine, but it should not be the be all and end all of enjoying a game. (Here's looking at you, Crysis fans...)

Well im a huge Nintendo fan and my top 10 games of all time at least 8 of them are Nintendo games, but I have to disagree with you. The Wii so far has been the least played system I have ever owned and every major franchise game of Nintendos that has been on the wii I have felt has been the worst in their series.

Agreed. However that isn't what I hear from a lot of crysis fans....it's mostly "teh graphics" argument and that is what I get sick of hearing.

If you mean delivered tons of cash to the Nintendo pocket then yes, I agree. :P

I dunno, I'm happy for those who feel it delivered for them but for me, it's the first console I have ever sold before the next gen started so for me, it failed a bit. Again, I recognize for many including this website, it delivered so Enjoy. :)

Yeah the Wii really delivered.......................... a lot less than the competition.

coming up from behind and surpassing the 360 in high scoring exclusives was an impressive feat.

wii delivered a lethal blow to gaming

I love that little box, so many unique games on it.. I don't how Nintendo does it.

As far as multiplats go, i'm playing them on the PC at max., so no biggie there. :)

if it had 3rd party support and no motion controls it would have delivered for me

Haters gunna hate, the Wii has a lot of fantastic games and it's been fun seeing Nintendo innovate this generation completely.

Let's take a look at what the Wii delivered: worst exclusive lineup this gen, worst multiplat lineup of all time, worst graphics for a gen of all time, worst online structure of all time, most shovelware amount of all time, etc.. Congratulations, Nintendo. You guys really outdid yourselves. :roll:Messiahbolical-

Fixed. THAT is all raw power does. Everything else is done by proper game coding no matter what the hardware is designed for. Raw power has no inclusion of replayability. A good example is GTA IV. It does everything you touted, but the mission design and multiplayer design were virtually repetitive so in the end raw power was all GTA IV had going for it.

Don't forget to include AAE games

The Wii really delivered this gen, as a great secondary system to my PC. It was well worth the 250$ I spent on buying the system.

There is a lot more to a console's library than AAAs and AAAAs. The Wii has more AAEs+ than the other consoles, but significantly less AAEs than the PC.

The Wii delivered? Yeah to soccer moms and retirement homes.

The console has horrible graphics and shovelware. Not only do PS3 and 360 now have motion sensing (although the PS3 motion sensing is a blatant rip off of the Wii mote), they have better specs to run games at a higher level both graphically and speed.

The fact the Nintendo 3DS has better graphics than the Wii (or the 1st Xbox for that matter) is just sad.

if you are sick of FPS games this gen THE WII DELIVERED.

The most innovative and niche titles this gen were on the Wii.

Yeah but you also forgot to mention how games like No More Heroes and Dead Space Extraction aren't even exclusive anymore but are still on the list, how the Wii(lets face it) has lower standards, and how a lot of those AA games are casual stuff like EA Sports Active which(lets just face it again) none of us CORE gamers care about.Messiahbolical-

1. That is 2 games the Wii has a lead of 5 games compared to the 360 and 7 compared to the PS3.
2. Oh boy thet standards excuse yet again... some throw it around without any form of evidence to support that the wii has lower standards, Graphically yes, it has lower standards but gameplay wise no. an AA is an AA no matter what system it is on.
3. Those casual games you are trying to discredit are reviewed by avid/hardcore gamers who happen to think that the games are worthy of the 8.0 score. Believe it or not, but casual games can be enjoyed by avid and hardcore gamers as well.

In addition some AA quality Wii titles (according to other sources) has yet to be reviewed on Gamespot.

While everyone is entitled to their own opinions (personally I found myself bored to tears by both uncharteds). You are entitled to think that the wii's library is crap, however that is an opinion which many are gonna disagree on. What is a fact however is that the wii has the highest ammount of exclusives compared to other consoles.

Also, if we are going to add in AE rated games to the mix, the Wii has 70 AE+ games, which certainly isnt a bad number. especially compared to the 360's 37 AE+ and the PS3's 40 AE+ games.

I'm a hardcore PC gamer that has avoided consoles for the last 2 gens, the Wii deserves my respect for being a proper console and providing fun innovative of games I can't get on the PC. The same can't be said with the HD twins that have the same damn multiplats as the pc.

Yes there are a ton of awesome exclusive games on the Wii, if you call yourself a real gamer you must acknowledge this..

So...

A. We gonna act like you spent your afternoon picking from a list of 958 games, so you can offer us a factual observation about the quality of the games?

or

B. You hating on Nintendo, thinking your opinion & taste in games = absolute fact.

It don't even matter if i correct every bit of ludicrous claim you made, you won't read.

Because by reading your past comments, you got a thing with hating japanese people and ***. stuff. So obviously you're gonna hate on Nintendo.

So basically, you have a problem with Japan. C'mon now, don't say it ain't true, considering almost every post you've made about ***. stuff, you hated on. So.. you a racist or something?

Man, you're probably one of them boys that thinks CoD is hardcore, and sticking with the Hatin'-On-Nintendo crowd is 'cool'.

Life's short. Stop hating for the sake of it on a forum..

Highgear56

So the Wii delivered to 80 million moms and retirees?? Riggghhhht.

Horrible graphics? Go take a look at Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, The LAST STORY, Sonic Colors, Conduit 2, Red Steel 2 etc. Why is shovelware important for you? DONT BUY THEM

Better specs mean nothing, games can be fun regardless of the power. The PS2 proved that as well as the PS1

3DS hasn't been released yet, so graphics cant be judged yet, so how is it that sad? This isn't Titanic.

Also, the fact that a handheld (NGP) rivals the graphics of Ps3 is quite sad ;) See?

YEP! I prefer my Wii to my PS3 by a rather large margin. Nintendo is still at the top of their game when it comes to their first party offerings. Also, Nintendo is one of the only publishers not afraid torelease games that are actually challenging (Sin and Punishment, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Punch-Out!!). Most of the HD games focus on the cinematic experience which robs player of gameplay control and difficulty.

-Skeletor-

This I mostly agree with, the Wii serves the exact same purpose for me, to let me play games I can not access on the PC. However I disagree with the other part, there are still some innovative games on the PS3 and 360. Though that number is low compared to the Wii and especially PC.

Btw I actually used to be a huge Nintendo fan. Grew up with the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube. Loved them and loved the games. I simply don't like the direction they've taken this gen. And okay, you guys tell me the Wii has the most "good" exclusives... I wont argue that. It also has the least "masterpeice" AAA+ exclusives though. And the Wii's multiplat library is a complete joke... I don't think you or any of the other Nintendo fans would argue that. So why dismiss my points and simply call me a Japan hater? Just because you don't like my opinions doesn't mean you should just throw (an irrelevant to the discussion btw)label on me.

If you MUST call me a hater, go ahead. I'll take that as you don't have any valid points to discuss back at me. After all... isn't this System Wars? Isn't bashing the negatives of consoles you don't care for what this forum was built on? ;)

Once i stopped trying to enjoy RE4, the Wii delivered big time. I have a good 7 games just waiting to get into once i'm done with RedSteel2.

Although the Wii gets alot of blind hate, as we draw near to the end of the generation, I think it really delivered.

I'll toast them once I see Pikmin 3, Star Fox and F-Zero...

I don't know where you're getting anything about me hating Japanese products. I own a PS3 and I love it. I only think the "new" Nintendo is a joke compared to the old Nintendo... I don't "hate" them though. I don't take gaming serious enough to "hate" a company.

Damn it, that's a good post. I was expecting a counter-rant with some childish insults sprinkled over, so i could of had some fun. Why didn't you make a similar post back then? Oh well, at least you're more knowledgeable then i expected.

Yes, it does have a pathetic line-up of multiplats, and this year the situation regarding multiplats are grim. But that's why i have a mid to high end PC. I can play 97% of all multiplats on my PC, at max. settings, without the slightest bit of problems. I will miss the HD twins 360/PS3 exclusives, and i would love to play Vanquish, and so many incredible games that are exclusive to the HD twins..

But i can honestly tell you i do have many alternatives, and i can tweak on my PC any game i want, and play most of everything i want. If i, for example, want something more unique, i'm going towards the Wii.. and i won't be missing on any multiplats comming this year. It really seems like the best combo one can have, is a PC + Wii combo.

It has probably got about the same amount of good exclusives as the GC so lets not get carried away here, further more for me at least I haven't seen this motion controller (which is the reason I paid so much more for old technology) being used any more creatively in its life than what was patched on for Twilight Princess.

Nintendo delivered some great games this gen, but their console has been more disappointing with each passing year, I really hope they fix the problems with the Wii remote next generation (like lack of buttons and the ones it has being awkwardly placed).

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"] The old Nintendo was last place, theres nothing wrong with the new Nintendo. They're appealing to all ages and all gamer types and they're getting sales, how is that a bad thing? The AAA+ thing is determined by people's view and you know that.
