What's the worst Wii related purchase you've made so far?

This includes accessories, retail games and VC games.

Mine would be Sonic: The Secret Rings, BAD GAME, VERY BAD GAME.

The back of the box has that symbol with the Wii Remote and a 2 in it, meaning 2 people can play concurrently on the same console. However, no such feature exists.

Mario Kart Wii. I can't even think about the stuff I could have bought with that money cuz everytime I do, I almost cry.

That and Super Mario Bros. 3 from VC. Not that SM3 is a bad game, I just plan to buy it on the GBA and it feels like if I do, there'd be no point to have it on VC and those points would have better used elsewhere.

Super paper mario. I hated that they swapped turn-based combat (the ones that were fun and needed stradegy) for real-time combat which is jumping on enemies to make it easier for 'less expierenced gamers' (the real-time would've been great for a 2-d platform mario game, but in this case, it's pretty bad). The lack of badges made me sad. Plus, most of the puzzles involved just pressing the a button (again, for the 'less expierenced gamer'). If they ever make a paper mario 4, i hope it's just like the first two.

Spiderman 3, the webswinging was fun, but the rest of the game was a real waste of an oppurtunity. and Wiimote docking station which would charge for hours and provide minutes of battery life.

Mario Kart 64. Playing with the GC controller overshadowed the fact that I still have it for N64. I wish I could get those points back and buy Toki Tori

I actually loved Sonic and the Secret Rings. My worst purchase was definitely Call of Duty 3. Unresponsive controls, full of glitches, horrible AI, and bad level design. It was even worse than Red Steel or Far Cry Vengeance (and yes, I owned both of those games too).

Why would you buy a game which you already have? Anyways mine would probably be Golden Ax. Actually my friend bought it with his credit card, so technically it wasn't my purchase. After that I really dont have any regrets.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, the story mode has nearly broken contols and all the minigames don't even work right or aren't fun to play.

Also, Mario Party 8... More like Awkward Silence Party 8!

I bought Mario Party 8 the first day it was released... Bad Move.

Luckily, I returned to it the same store a few days later for about 75% of the original price because the manager was there that day and I had the receipt.

I hate to say it, but probably Mario Kart Wii. That game has brought me far more frustration than fun.

Failing that, Lost Winds was a waste of Wii points seeing as it's over so quickly.

The Zapper: LCT wasn't enough to make the purchase worthwhile.

Super Monkey Ball BB: It frustrated the hell out of me.

PES 2008: A lot of people said it was good, but I just didn't like it.

You can play coop in Arcade Mode.

Um, for me it would be Fire Emblem, I liked it at first (and reviewed it reelly good) but as it went on the story got weaker, the battles got sadistic, and the whole experience was just monotonous.

Hmmm, my worst Wii purchase probably was Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. I loved SMB 1 and 2. When this was announced I was overjoyed. Monkey Ball should be a perfect fit for the Wii-remote yet they managed to screw it up. The story mode controls were bad, the camera was bad, the jump was a stupid addition to the gameplay, the boss battles were horrible and unneeded, the level design itself was mediocre, there were too many minigames and almost all of them were unplayable, also I wasn't a big fan of the artstyle that they chose for the game though it wouldn't have mattered if every thing else was good.

This is the only game for the Wii that I have not finished, Kororinpa was so much better than this garbage.

wow Mario Kart Haters?

how can that be, I haven't put that game down in four months.

Super Paper Mario, man that game is bad. talk about walls of text.

ugggg... and the humor was aimed at 10 year olds.
