Could you seriously gone through this genration with just playing a Wii?

Could you have gone through this generation knowing you can never play Fallout3/ The Orange Box (TF2 alone would drive me in-sane)/ Oblivion / Dead Space (off rails, yeah!)/ GTA4/ Bioshock/ VF5/ CoD4/ Grid/ Burnout Paradise/ Re5 / SF4/ P.o.P.

That's right gentlemen, these games are on every system but the Wii, so i ask you, how can the Wii be considered anything but a nice add-on when every single other platform already has such a huge shared advantage over it?How can we give the Wii the same creedance as the other platforms when it has not got the bulk of the shared library, as a stand alone i would go as far to say that it is un-viable, especially when you factor in it only has two games with properly functoining on-line.

To those Wii only owners, how can you live knowing even just Poral is out there? Nevermid an entire realm of RPG/FPS games.

I don't see how someone similar to me could... but everyone's different. Subjectivity reigns supreme in the end.

Absolutely, mainly because Im not one to really stress over graphics and Im not really into the FPS genre.

The Wii has some fantastic games IMO, Im currently playing Marumasa, Little Kings Story and Monster Hunter Tri demo and their all FANTASTIC.

I don't know but I do know that I can go thru this gen without playing a Wii at all and I'm doing it so far. =)

I couldn't, I need my Resident Evil/Burnout etc.

The Wii also has the same drawback that plagued the Gamecube -- game droughts.

Honestly I could and be very happy. The only games that were outstanding on 360 that I've played so far is Fallout 3 and Tales of Vesperia. The main reason I bought the 360 in the first place was for GTAIV and RE5 and they were very disappointing. If I thought I could get more than the $92 that Gamestop is offering for the 360 I would have sold it.

Yes, I absolutely could. There are so many games on the Wii right now that I could play, that couldkeep me occupied for that long. I don't have as much time to play games as others might, but still.

360/PS3/ and PC have way more quality FPS than the Wii, one genre the Wii severely lacks.

Indeed the Wii does have some serious game droughts but this year seems to be starting quite nicely.

If you dont mind me asking, how many games do you buy a year?

I have both a 360 and a PS3 as well, I play my 360 pretty frequently, my PS3 not so much because I usually use it for exclusives Im intrsted in.

I have had around a good 60 game over all for my Wii while Ive had an accumulated 34 for my PS3 and 360.

We'll see how long it lasts -- sheep said the same back in early 2008. Look at what happened.

Theres actually a pretty good RPG line-up this year too, Kizuna, Monster Hunter 3, Valhalla Knights, Tact of Magic and Crystal Bearers to name a few.

Not me. I need a PC.

The thing is, at this point last year we didnt have a clue of what the second half had. So many sheep were saying Nintendo would announce the 2nd half of 08 during E3. But E3 hasnt happened yet and theres alot of games from now till the end of the year, enough to satisfy a Wii only gamers apetite. What ever Nintendo announces at E3 will only be the icing on the cake.

The wii is the only console I haven't bought this generation... And Looks like ill live without it.... Online multiplayer is casi inexistant, this is probably the major reason why I'll never buy it, add xbox1/ps2 graphics and there's a big NO THANK YOU.

What's your point? It's still severely lacking in comparison to the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

No way. If it wasint mainly for NMH,LOZ and MP I could live without my wii. Hell I barely use it now it just collects dust.

While it lacks both in variety and to an extent, quality,the Wiis library still is good enough to satisfya gamers gaming needs, atleast IMO.

about 20 brand new, many more retrospectively. thegoldenpoo

Yeah its because you have a huge appetite, nothing wrong with that at allbut system wars is dominated by people who buy alot of games. Usually i only get around 4-6 new games a year. Same with the last 2 gens before. This year has been a bit different since ive bought 4 PS2 games already, although ive only got one 09 game, SFIV.

But yeah, theres no way a person like you could go a gen with a console like the Wii. I think that anyone that buys games like me is fine.

If you mean it by "you miss X amount of games on the Wii" Then thats choice. From the games you listed in your original post, i only liked 2 of them and i have a 360 and PS3.

I doubt I could even force myself to play games for any significant amount of time if all I had was a Wii. I'd probably need a new hobby...maybe pottery. Or knitting.

Out of the games you mentioned the only one I'd feel sad about missing is PoP.Haziqonfire

Fair enough. You must be a certain type of gamer, and hate FPS. RPGs and Simulation but fair enough. thegoldenpoo

personally, no. but i do like a lot of nintendo's exclusives.

[QUOTE="-Oath"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Yeah, and there's a few good shooters as well on the Wii. Metroid Prime 3, World at War, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, and a few upcoming shooters as well, like the Conduit (which can and probable will be average).

Because I prefer a Wii I hate all those genres?

If thats the way you fell then tell me, was this thread a sheep trap?

If some one doesn't like FPS's, why would they bother with it?
