Honestly I don't think the wii is worth getting until games like Mario and Metroid start rolling in EXCEPT if you can have wi-fi and can take advantage of the virtual console, opera browser, weather channel, ext.

I wouldn't say im disappointed with it, but theres a tiny part of me that feels that way. That part of me will die once SSBB, SMG, MP3, and other good games come out.

Overall I'm not, but I have my gripes.  For one thing, WiiConnect 24 should be utilized better.  I hate going in and having to wait for a News channel update when I had left my Wii on standby for several hours before at night, it should update automatically.  The Wii has USB ports and doesn't use them well (Needs USB harddrive/flash drive support).  I was dissapointed at the lack of support of 720p, it should at least be an option.  There are no online games and there doesn't seem to be many coming anytime soon.  And the PS2 ports are ticking me off, we need some more quality ground-up games.

Nope. It does everything I expected it to do and it has great potential. I wish there were more games available at the moment but hey, it's only been out for a short time.

No online and really bad software support in PAL regions so I'm a little annoyed I got one at launch. Should have got a 360 then waited a year.

It's a new system.  Overall I'm not disapointed but I would like to see some more things just like everyone else here would.  As long as Nintendo keeps spitting out cool things like this new Everyone Guesses channel then I will continue to be happy!

Im pretty dissapointed with my Wii so far, but I am sure with future releases I will be happy. The one thing i absolutely hate is the lack of 720p, I didnt buy a 42inch plasma HDTV to have games look like crap, even with the component cables. I knows its not about the graphics and they dont have to be like x360, but they shouldnt look all distorted on hdtv's.

And so far the games have been lackluster as well, I like zelda a lot, and wiisports was cool, but the other games have been pretty bad imo.

Anyways, I cant wait for SSX, and i am actually looking foward to sonic as well.

While there are times when i love my Wii eg: playing super mario world and legend of zelda Twilight princess, i feel this small part of me that is kind of dissapointed. i havent played a wii game in 3-4 weeks atfer i beat Legend of Zelda TP. Ive mostly been playing WoW ,VC games and few GC titles here and there. i just picked up Tales of symphonia and its pretty cool. I really hope they ditch this Friend Code nonsense and get some real online gaming. other than that i think the wii is cool.

Disappointed Wii owner, here. Other than SSBB, SMG, and MP3, nothing else looks remotely interesting.  Zelda WAS fantastic, but I don't feel like playing through it again.

without a doubt, no. the games coming out seem perfect to keep me busy, and im always ready fro a surprisingly good game. and i just read in game informer about sadness, and even though its due out in 08 im so excited fro this game that itll be worth the long wait.

Same here thats the only problem I have with the wii is no online play with their games. They should of delayed Medal of Honor vanguard until nintendo released pokemon online feature so they could copy it. But anyways I'll just play my 360, so until then I am just going to wait until nintendo releases a solid online game.

Very, that is why I am waiting at least until next Xmas.  No online games and it pretty much doesn't offer anything but party games.

No I'm happy with my Wii. My roomate and I play each other at golf and bowling everyday and then i preform a couple of surgeries. I just want some more games to come out. Maybe I'll buy some gamecube games and play those since I never had one.

I am not an online console user, because I have Broadband internet right here on my computer, and I never travel anywhere so if I want news or weather I can either look on the internet or on the TV.

It might just be me, but I am actually disappointed with Twilight Princess, I completed it in 53 hours and the only time I thought "wow..", was with the extremely easy bosses, that looked absolutely awesome (such as Armogohma and Argorok). I did not like Midna at all, she does not give any hints about anything like Navi did in OOT (such as tell you about a monster and how to destroy it, or a hint at what you should do) and a major disliking was the Snowpeak Ruins level.. A HOUSE?! That was rather lame, I thought, and half of the items you receive are useless (ball & chain, hawkeye, slingshot)...  One more gripe:: the main evil boss dude, Zant, was a complete idiot.. I was very annoyed that they made him so easy and noticably mind-bendingly stupid.

I've also played Call of Duty 3, which was pretty fun, but the animations were horrendous and did not look good enough. The other game I tried was Red Steel, which was a bit fun, but ultimately terrible in every way.

Overall, I'm a tiny bit disappointed, but only at the launch period. Bring on Metroid, Brawl, Mortal Kombat.. etc

I love it. I'm looking forward to quite a few of the new titles. Fight Night will be huge if it does come out. SSB, SMG, and MP3 of course. I'm even looking forward to Scarface, a game I probably wouldn't have dared touching on any other platform. I want to see a lot more of Manhunt II because that looks very promising. All in all, it should be a good year for the Wii.

Other than Wii Sports and Wario I don't really consider any of the retail games worth owning. Sure Zelda is okay but I'd much rather play Oblivion on the 360. Wii Sports and Wario are the only 2 games that jump out and scream (to me) look here's a new way to play games! So what don't I like about my Wii? THE LACK OF DECENT GAMES!

What I'm seeing is a lack of good 3rd party games. I think some of them were rushed because of the surprise success of the Wii.

I got my Wii the day of launch because I stood in line for 4 hours for a preorder at EBgames.  I am disappointed with a few things:

1. Lack of HD and digital audio support

2. The Virtual Console games in general (Price, paying tax to buy points, lack of good games out now, how the Wii creates a whole separate channel for each game instead of separating them by console like Sega, NES, ect...)

3. The sensor (I have a 46" 1080p HD TV up on a wall and my couches are about 8-10 feet away I can not play accurate from there the cursor shakes around the edges of the screen a lot,  I looked in the manual and it says to stand 3-5 feet preferably if I remember correctly)

4. Lack of 3rd party support/games in general (Everyday I am hearing about companies only making the big franchise games (Unreal) on PS3 and Xbox 360 because the Wii's hardware is not up to par, the Wii seems to be following the Gamecube as of now)

Needs more good, solid games. (RPG's, FPS etc.) Too many minigames and stuff like that, and not enough things like Zelda and Tales of Symphonia.

Yeah, a bit... but launch was just three months ago. If I got my 360 at launch I would've been disappointed too. More games will be out soon and it looks like Virtual Console is picking up though (two Zelda games already, SMB and Super Mario World, DKC at the end of the month, Kid Icarus) so that's a positive thing.

IMO: Basically, if they don't screw up the online for Super Smash Bros, this system would be worth triple what I paid for it.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that I'm disappointed with my wii. There are however, things that I would love to see happen with it.

- Automatic Updates (Having to manually update the news and weather channel can be annoying at times. And if you can recieve messages while the system is off, why not updates as well?

- More online support. In my opinion I think Nintendo are still coming to gripes with deciding whether or not to continue with the moderated 'friend code' system. I understand their concern for their primary target market. But maybe a password system of some sort could be developed, where online play against strangers could only be accessed by those authorised. (Speaking of which I think that online support for SSBM is a MUST. It will still be a great game without it. But having this feature will extend replayability and add a whole new dimension to the game)-

Yes, I'm disappointed with my Wii console, first and foremost because online games are still missing, even though once announced for early '07 (we're in mid-February, when does early '07 end?!?!). Also, I don't understand why Nintendo is taking some of it's precious time to work on and open News, Weather and now Voting channels, the Voting channel being downright useless to me. But the News and Weather ones are just as obsolete (to me, again)! When I want to know what's going on around me or in the rest of the world or when I want to know how cold it is outside, I certainly won't take the time to turn on my Wii and click the channels. I'll use internet. I'd like Nintendo to concentrate on games since Wii is a GAMING console. Even though I love my Wii console for what it be able to do in the future, the only great thing about it right now is the Virtual Console.

Not disapointed - looking forward to online games. In response to your number 3: I have a 55" and sit about 8 feet back with no problems. You should think about possibly moving your sensor to the bottom of the tv (i don't know how high you have it mounted) and playing with the sensitivity settings for the wiimote in the menus. Also 8-10' seems a touch far for a 46" - optimum distance is more like 6-8' i believe
