I know folk will say I'm never happy but is anyone else struggling financially to keep up with all these top titles coming out on the wii just now??

I got my wii at xmas and since then I've bought SMG, GH3, Godfather, Madden 08, RE4, Mario & Sonic, NHL & Rogue Squadron for gamecube, MOH2, Battalion Wars2 which Ive hardly played and NMH which I've had for a week and not even had a chance to play due to me trying to finish RE4!! In 2 weeks time we get Pro Evo, 2 weeks after that its Mario Kart and theres a tonne of games I aint even played/looking forward to getting like Zelda, MP3, Zak & Wiki, Force Unleashed and SSBM!!!

I really believe that theres never been a better time to be a Nintendo fan, but I swear I'm gonna have to end up mortgaging my house and putting my kids and wife out on the street!!!

i know what ur talkin about. i've been having my wii since august last year and i only got sports,play,call of duty 3,cooking mama, red steel, SMG and tiger woods 07.

i was only able to finish cod3 so far and i'm only half-way through SMG. there's a lot of other stuff to do, so i dont spend that much time on my wii. and there are still a lot of other games to play with not havin Zelda or Zack&Wiki and PES 2008 and Brawl to come (europe).

I would suggest not buying games that you don't even have time to play.

I agree. :) Why buy the games if you can't play it?

If you're wanting to get more games, sell the ones you've beat or didn't like so there is more money on hand.

If there was any kind of good complaint to have about a system, it's having too many good games and not enough money to buy them. I truly spend too much money on games. Now PES then Okami, Mario Kart, Bully, One Piece, and a bunch more.

wii controls are more innovative then just a 360 pad, so they cost a bit more. and, why make someone buy 4 nunchucks when you only need 2. the system is cheap, the games are cheaper then 360 game, id rather pay 10 bucks xtra for a contoller 1 time then spend $60 for every game.

I've spent more money on VC titles than new Wii games. There's just so many great classics available I can't stop.

I know how you feel...

Although I only have one Wii game (cuz I just got the console recently), I also have to keep up with my DS, PS3, PS2 and PSP... :x

I'm trying really hard not to buy another game until April, when Okami is coming out. :P

BUT ONLY BRAWL IZ GUD!!!!

But seriously, in just under a year, my Wii collection has grown to almost the size of my Gamecube collection. In less than a year! That's a sign that Nintendo is doing something right this gen. Or I've set my standards too low...I'm not sure yet.

It's just only people who focus on games way too much. It's not really nintendos fault for them buying good games all the time. And struggling to get money because of their own choices. They can try to sue nintendo for this but they'll lose in court no doubt about it. Im sorry but this thread is just plain pointless. They just have way too much time on your hands. To start trying to find a way to blame someone of their own choices

Not if he's referring to "Nintendo" as plural.

Like "Look at that group of Nintendo over there. Those Nintendo are so majestic"

In fact, I think the singular of Nintendo is Nintendie.

I have yet to finish SMG, MP3, PoP, and SSBB. Almost finished SSBB, and finished GH:LoR, but I really want to beat the rest of my games. Nintendo has been sucking me dry since the N64, and they continue to now with the Wii and the DS. Plus, I occasionally play my PSP, so I have to keep up with that...

i fixed your post and took out all the games you should have never had bought..you'll would have more money in the fixed one cause you'd have bought games worth paying for.

Im not having trouble at all. Last year the only Wii games that came out that were any good to me were Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy. But they were so linear and lacked replay value that I didn't even keep them. I probably bought more PS2 games last year than Wii games.

This year the only games I got were Brawl and No More Heroes, and Im about to trade in No More Heroes. The only other Wii game I plan on buying this year is Mario Kart.

Maybe you people should stop buying new games and give me your money! That way I can buy a Wii, and some games for it.(J/K):D

Well, a few of the above mentioned games suck (like mario and sonic), but if you really want to make sure you like games, just rent them first. It's saved me from a ton of horrid purchases.
