10 signs that deep down, you really want a Wii

It's no secret that Nintendo's hot-selling Wii console is a commercial success and is a big hit with casual gamers. However, it still doesn't seem to have won over the hearts of hardcore gamers as it's continually dismissed by some as a child's plaything. Sure enough, those who take genuine interest in the Nintendo Wii are discouraged to get one for fear of being made fun of. If you want a Wii, there's really no reason to be ashamed of it. Its content orientation may differ from traditional gaming models, but that doesn't mean it isn't as much fun. We therefore suspect that underneath all that fanboy angst against the Nintendo Wii is a soft spot in ever hardcore heart. What are the symptoms? Consider these: 1. You're wondering what CQC in Metal Gear Solid games would be like with a Wiimote. 2. You can't tell any of your friends, but you're secretly thinking how much cooler Time Crisis games would be with a Wii Zapper. 3. Your first reaction when you saw Wii Sports Boxing was "Man, that could really work in Fight Night Round 3!" then you looked around to see if anyone heard you. 4. You get that "funny feeling" whenever you hear the old Legend of Zelda tune. 5. You're holding back a nostalgic grin every time Mario says "Mama Mia!" 6. You're getting sweet dreams of brutalizing Pikachu and Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Brawl at least once a week. 7. You've already made plans to buy a Nintendo Wii, and in the event that some of your friends discover that you did, your excuse is "But I just want to find out how Umbrella went down in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles!" 8. If you ever get caught playing Cooking Mama, your excuse will be "But those guys in Iron Chef are so manly!" 9. You're trying to convince yourself that the only reason you like Metroid Prime 3 is because Samus is so damn hot. 10. You keep telling yourself that if all else fails and the hardcore gaming community still doesn't think it's cool, you can always give the Nintendo Wii as a gift to your mom. Of course, you never will.

 

LOL, a little over the top though eh, like it's implying it's "uncool to own a Wii".

I clicked the link for I am not lazy

Well I am, but yeah.

Thanks man....I thought it was too big and annoying to paste but here I am proven wrong. Thanks again.

Actually, I have always thought that I never wanted a Wii and thought it wasn't going to be fun, but lately I've gotten the itch to get one and the more I think about it, the more it sounds cool.

I got burned with both the N64 and Gamecube so I have absolutely no desire to get a Wii. How does the saying go, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.". I'm done buying a Nintendo console only to have it collect dust for 7-8 months (or more) at a time while I wait for the few decent games for the system. It's far more economical for me to just borrow someone else's and wipe the dust off it to play those rare games.

With that being said there hasn't been the equivalent of a Goldeneye or Resident Evil 4 this time around that has made me even want to borrow one let alone buy one. 

So by the same logic, Legend, I should get a PS3? Because I loved the PS1 and the PS2 was a godsend.

yeah, legend, your logic is very, very flawed.

it's not like the Wii is anything like the N64 or Gamecube, after all.

Not to mention you can play most/all the good games from either console on the Wii, which gives you the classics without wasting time with the old console.

I could only agree with number six. I hate Pikachu

To each his own. Up until it's last 18 months, the 'Cube was a blast to own. For whatever reason, third parties were sour on the system. Still, if you got one, you were treated to some of last gen's finest. Same goes for the 64. Sony stomped a hole in Nintendo the first time they squared off, but the 64 had some truly amazing titles for the time. The Wii doesn't have the volume of A+ titles that the other two powerhouse systems have, but it's alreedy provided enough fun for me to feel the purchase is justified.
