The reason i wrote "for people who already have a Wii" is cause most people that own the Wii and another console bought the Wii for its core franchises (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin ect..)

I enjoy Nintendo exclusives more than any other games on the market.

That, along with with the availability of games from previous consoles (NES, SNES, etc.), was more than enough to push me over the edge.

I didn't buy a Wii for only Nintendo games. Yes, it's a reason however I can support 3rd party games. I'll have more 3rd party games than 1st party for sure like all the Nintendo consoles I had before.

I bought it for several reasons:

1. Exclusives

2. Awesome controls [this can fall into several categories]

3. I knew third parties would greatly support the system, shovelware set aside.

The exclusives and the new ways to play. The VC and Wiiware are big points for me too.

I bought it for the Nintendo exculsives. The motion controls was a plus. Also some of the third party games, that tend to go Nintendo. Mainly thinking of Treasure here.

Exclusives, Controls, Free Online Play, Virtual Console, Cheapest Console (at the time I bought it), and other reasons that have arose recently such as Wiiware and Wiispeak.

I dont care about vc, any Nintendo hype or games. In fact i dont even like most of the exklusives like SSBB or Mario Kart.

- I WAS a Nintendo person
- All my friends had one
- Wanted to play Mario, Metroid, etc...
- Didn't even look into comparing and contrasting 360 and PS3 to the Wii
- Cheap

I got mine to play with other people more often as a pose to playing alone with myself. Wii's control scheme supports party games so its a pretty gd deal IMO, I just use my PC for my fps experience so I'm not missing out that much.

I bought the Wii for the third party, first party, VC, and the GC games because the GC is the only Nintendo system I didn't have and it has some great games for it.

  • Nintendo only systems since N64.
  • Wii is a pretty crazy name.
  • Motion controls were cool when it came out.
  • TP, Excite Truck, and Wii Sports were cool
  • Least expensive system at the time (XBOX 360 Arcade is cheaper now)
  • Loved Nintendo titles and other cool titles coming out.
  • More kid friendly games for my little brother.

I wanted it for Brawl then I figured out it had the most orginial and standout games at the point that I got it which was last year.

Of course Virtual Console also helped. Also I didn't know the Wii used motion controls until I saw it at my cousins house about a month before I got it.

Cause I've been and always will be a Nintendo die hard fan. If I just got a 360 or something, I'd be crying in my room missing Samus and Link. XD

- I only had Nintendo systems so I thought I should keep the tradition alive.

- Mostly I got it for Brawl when I heard about it.

- Thought it would have a lot of good games

I actually regret buying it though. I had went to Best Buy, with my parents ready to buy me a system. I was 11~, and I had just lost my DS and gamecube due to me being robbed. So I went there with the intention to get an Xbox 360, and to buy some random game that I don't remember (it was some shooting game with some girl on the cover) or Fight Night round 3. The days before though, people on Gamespot got me hyped about Wii. This was about 6 montsh before it came out though, around april. Since I still had my Gamecube games, I bought another Gamecube (for $100) and decided I could wait half a year with Gamecube and a new game (Rampage: Total Destruction) and then buy a Wii. I did that. And after I had my fun with Brawl, buying both Madden games, being disapointed with MOH: Vanguard and NFS Carbon, I recently (3 months) started regretting getting a Wii. I want a basketball game. Live 08 was **** and 09 is made for All-Play and has no dynasty, franchise, create stuff, etc.

Now I'm thinking of going to EB Games and changing everything for a 360 and a few good games. The only sucky part is that you have to pay for online.

I wanted Brawl and some other Nintendo titles, plus the VC looked very interesting. The low price only made it that much easier to buy.

I've been a Nintendo boy ever since the NES, and I've had every Nintendo home console and handheld (aside a couple horrendous ones) so Nintendo first party software has always been must haves on any Nintendo console.

I bought one because my pc has all the best games from 360, and ps3 is just an expensive blu ray player with mediocre games. I love Zelda games and Smash Bros, etc, which usually seem to be the highest quality games around nowadays. So therefore, Wii = fun, everything else = don't need.

i only own a wii. i bought it because i like nintendo games more than what the other 2 have to offer. i never got a chance to play most of the nes/snes games, so the VC was another reason. i won't be missing out with the other 2 consoloes offer because most of the good ones will eventually come tp pc, and i have a gaming pc.

I originally bought it for the storied classic franchises of course but after playing Okami, RE4, Metroid Prime 3 and seeing the possibilities with the Condiut and FPS games this system could really be the best by far.

For Nintendo's games. If you don't care about Nintendo's first and second party games, I really don't see the point of buying a Wii.

The main reason I bought a Wii is because of the Mario games (including sports, kart, party, RPG, and platformer) and the Pikmin games. If I never got Sunshine, the Mario sports and RPG, Pikmin 2, and Pikmin I might not have a Wii right now because they are the games that really got me into the Gamecube.

The second reason is because I was interested in the new motion controls.
