Simple, play your games and ignore them. I'm buying a WiiU and I'm sure I'll like it for the same reasons i enjoy my 360/PS3/PC. That reason is I have a different reason to own each one. You dont want one then dont buy one, you do then buy one.

For me, the Wii had everthing I need to have on a Nintendo Console:

1) Two main Zelda Games
2) a Smash Brothers game
3) a Mario Kart game
4) two Metroid Games (Prime 3 being the best one)
5) Various Kirby Games
6) The superb Mario Galaxy duo
7) A really fun 2d Mario game
8) A great 2d Donkey Kong game
9) Good games like Monster Hunter tri, No More Heroes 1 and 2, Red Steel 2, Endless Ocean, Resident Evil the Darkside Chronicles, Dead Space Extraction, House of the Dead Overkill, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and others.

I would have liked if the Wii had got more third party support but I can proudly say that I had a lot fun with my Wii.

the people complaining about every minor factor are sony fans o MS fans so it does not matter they are not going to pick up wii U.

Wiis 3rd party support is far better than its predecessors, the fallacy has to end
The only difference is the grafix, the GC had top notch visuals, same with N64, Wii has outdated grafix, its just that, and its really sad

Edited your title to be a little less inflammatory - some people do see those complaints as legitimate; they're not all trolls.

I would argue differently.  3rd party support dropped during the N64 but was still semi there.  GCN, PS2, and X box were pretty similar in power so 3rd party support was decent.  The Wii however had a significant drop in third party quality titles.  There are only a few third party games that I would consider good on the Wii.  The best one in my opinion would be MH3 where Capcom actually put some effort into the title.  Most third party companies didn't take the time to produce quality titles or put their B teams on the title.  The only decent downports from the HD consoles on the Wii would be CoD titles.  Most of the other downports just plain sucked or little effort was put into them.



No, you are basing the quantity/ quality of Wiss 3rd p support on you personal tastes
ill come back later with a real 3rd party Wii titles list to prove this fallacy wrong

I would disagree personally. Gamecube had good third party support. Most multiplats got on there with exceptions. As for the people saying nintendo underpower things as usual, well that should tell you they only started playing video games. Sony and nintendo pretty much swapped places on focus this gen. Nintendo used to make some of the most advanced consoles of the times.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

These are my thoughts exactly.

The wii to me was the home of my favourite video games of all time: my favourite jrpg (xenoblade) my favourite 3d platformer (Galaxy) my favourite fps/a (Metroid Prime Trilogy and Red Steel 2), my favourite 2D platformer (Donkey Kong Country Returns), 2 of my favourite action adventure games (TP and SS) and my favourite fighter (Brawl). As a gamer that has been involved with video games since the SNES, the wii was huge to me in that so many of its games took top spot in my books where N64 and SNES games used to be. To me, the Wii truely was a Revolution, and I therefore place my trust in Nintendo to keep up the quality with Wii U.



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
