I'm thinking about buying a WII and I'm interested in the Mario and Zelda games except Mario Party but I would also like No More Heroes, is this enough games to keep an Xbox 360 gamer happy? I grew up playing Zelda and Mario so I know I'll enjoy those but is that enough to make the purchase of a Wii worth it? Are you happy with your WII or did you get bored of the games it has to offer?

dude, you will be happy with the combo. i grew up on mario and nintendo so i had the wii since it launched, and recentely i bought a 360 for my fps cravings, so im living the best with both worlds. there are a lot of other top titles for the wii that will make you happy too.

I don't like Mario Galaxy but the rest of the world disaggrees with me. Twilight Princess isn't the best Zelda but its still a good fantasy game. May I also recommend the Multiplayer Combo of Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros Brawl? Theres also another Zelda game coming out for the Wii in the future, hopefully at E3. Yeh I think it would be a great secondary system for you.

However you relise that Nintendo is superior will crush Microsoft and Sony at the end of this generation and they'll never release another video game system again :P Anyway... Enjoy your Wii.

It's definitely nothing like the 360, so if you're accustomed to the features of the 360 (online experience, leaderboards, achievements, hard drive, voice chat, etc.), and wouldn't have it any other way, steer clear.

Just do some research of the console before making a purchase, because the Wii is really not for everyone (even though they say it is).

I know the Wiis not a big powerhouse system like the ps3 or 360 but I often wanna play a more simple fun lighthearted game instead of just shooting games so I'll probably love the Wii as much as my Xbox 360.

Well then the Wii is most likely right for you. It's got plenty of lighthearted stuff.

It's kind of refreshing to hear a 360 owner say that they don't want to shoot people all day. Seems to be a rare occurance...

yeap... I do not think here you would find someone that say he/she is not... but I`ll try to be as objective as possible to help you out on your selection...

Having a Wii + ps3/360 combo is the best idea ever. You would have the fun of the wii + VC library (which was reason 1 for me at 1st). And beside the wii library (that is bulding pretty nice, you would have the X gerne you like, in m case horror and alike.

The multiplayre of MK is for me amazing :)

BTW: Radical: I agree about galaxy, so u are not alone. Is not that I do not like it.. but it was too much of a plataformer, like i said in the recommendation thread, is like having 3 Mario games (actually change that to 5) so I just play it for a LOOOONG time... I did not got hook into it...

enjoy gaming...

and to TC to see the list of games on wii go to the recommendation stickie thread...

hope this helps abit :)

I'm dissappointed with my Wii. Nintendo and other developers are not giving me enough time to beat all of the amzing games. I have $700 worth of games on my wishlist.

Each system is great in many ways. Online support is superb on the 360, while the wii has the best controller scheme and friendly games. MKWII and SSBB are the best games out for the wii, with the exception of RE4 which is a port. I owned a 360 for sometime and at times i do miss some of the 360 exclusive games, but the wii is so much more of a family and friend oriented game system so i am very happy with my wii. Welcome to the wii :)

I think it's a solid secondary system; that is if you consider yourself a hardcore gamer. If you are more on the casual side of things then it offers the perfect mix of simple family oriented type games, with a few hardcore games. Personally, I love the wii but I'm also a little bias toward anything Nintendo usually does!!

I'm definitely happy with mine. As others have mentioned, the multiplayer combo of SSBB and MKWii is unbeatable, and there are plenty of other games worth your while on the console as well. I say if you have the means of trying games (rentals, buying used copies then returning them, etc.) then do so because the reviews are definitely not always right for Wii games. The motion controls in many titles may suck for a "pro" reviewer but may just be fun for you.

I have a Wii and a PS3 and I play my Wii a lot more.

If you like simple fun Wii is a great console for you and since you also grew up with Mario and Zelda (i think many people did if they played video games since the 80s).

My fellow Wii owners have left out Metroid Prime 3 (fantastic controls and boss battles!). Personally, I thought that the Twighlight Princess is the best Zelda game ever (Some days I would say Windwaker). Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart - you either need friends or online capabilities for maximum fun.

One obscure but really fun game is The Pinball Hall of Fame-The Williams Collection. If you enjoy pinball, you can't get any closer to the real thing without an actual table (the ball physics and bumping and nudging controls are fantastic!)

The control system alone makes Medal of Honor Heroes 2 worth at least a rental. Pumping the shotgun, bazooka on your shoulder, twisting the zoom on your sniper rifle, even twisting the dial on the radio.

Don't expect the graphics of 360, but expect alot of fun.

I myself....am pretty bored with it. I'm not a hardcore Nintendo fan so find myself struggling to look for decent titles. I have like 5 games for it including No more Heroes (which is a very good game) but apart from that there is nothing on this console that really interests me at the moment. It just collects dust unless I have friends over for a bit of wii sports which is no reason to buy a console.

I would research titles you want carefully before investing in one if I were you.

You should be set, I don't get as much time to game as I did when I was younger but even I needed a 360 to pad out my game collection as a Wii owner from launch. When Nintendo release a game it is one hell of a game, but the Wii's third party offerings have impressed me no more than the GC did. Get yourself MP3, Galaxy, TP, MK and Brawl and you are set for sure :) and there is the odd 3rd party game which shines too (RE4 and Zack and wiki spring to mind).

I'm actually quite disappointed with mine. It usually just sits there and gathers dust while I play my PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. I have considered spending around $100 to get a two player Mario Kart setup however.

Well then the Wii is most likely right for you. It's got plenty of lighthearted stuff.

It's kind of refreshing to hear a 360 owner say that they don't want to shoot people all day. Seems to be a rare occurance...

Actually a lot of people prefer non-shooters. I for one find them to be fun and last a while but nothing memorable or worthwhile to look back upon though. Anyway i own an Xbox 360 as well and i have to say their first party games are where it's at. Secondary console or not there's gonna be at least one that'll end up being one of your favorite games. SSBB is a nice change of pace and Boom blox. Boom blox might seem pretty basic but you'll spend hours just messing around craeting stuff.

Oh, well I was just referring to those who only own a 360. Basically, the guys on SW.

Ever since i got my PS3 my Wii has gotten very little attention but i went back to it the other day, booted up a few games and oh wow, i forgot how fun the Wii is. While it does'nt do well in the graphic department compared to the other consoles, most of it's games are heck fo alot more fun to play. I started up Metroid Prime 3 and played all night. Just pure fun and immersion.

Hey i get bored with Every-thing and i'm sure You do the same thing.
The system rocks. With this thing i'm all back enjoying games again like i used to when i just begun. Not just on the wii but it made everything else more fun too.
It's retro, it's new, it's a cheap and durable party machine. I say everyone should have one but don't have impossible expectations.

I love my Wii. I think its the best game system ever made(Ive played every system ever made except Game & Watch and Virtual Boy). Everyone always makes fun of me though because most gamers I know are obsessed with systems like the 360.:( The 360 is a piece of crap compared to Wii in my opinion.

I like shooters a lot but I usually get bored of them in a a few weeks unless they're really fun and good, I'm probably gonna get Metroid Prime 3.

Ya I'd say the same, thats one of the few problems I have with it. (100 blocks of memory left, mediocre online)

Otherwise the Wii kicks ass!
