I'm losing interest in my Wii as well. I actually am selling it now to help fund a recently bought PC. That's not to say that there isn't enough games coming out for it, it's just that I have more systems than I have ever had for any generation and I simply don't have time to play them all... so I just cut out the one I figured I'd miss the least.

I'm sure I'll miss playing Dawn of the New World and Fragile and I still love playing Mario Kart Wii but right now it's receiving the least of my time and interest.

I initially bought my Wii for Fire Emblem (and wasn't disappointed) and I'll be kicking myself if another one were to reach the system. But I think the next one is scheduled for the DS? Am I right in saying that?

wow after reading some of the post

the thread title should be

" lost interest in the wii or dont like it come bash it here!"

if anything surely the system is going uphill?

No, it is just this is what the OWNERs of the system tell me when they come looking for games. I just did not feel like going through the long drawn out explanation of how I know this. Wii customers come in by the bucket load every so often, hoping there is something besides Wii Sports to play, I offer a few other games that have sold well, but they do not appeal to everybody or they already own it. They tend to be very starved for gaming goodness that the other systems have more of to a certain degree.

That's more than fair, and hey, it's your money, but if you're going to ditch an excess system wouldn't it make the most sense for that system to be a PS3 or 360, seeing as how they're mostly redundant with each other, and with the PC you're upgrading? Again, I'm not challenging you or anything, but it just seems like an odd decision to me.

again, i am waiting for tokyo game show, but it looks like my money is going to my ps3 and my ds instead of my wii this year.

I know some of the going has been slow for the Wii, but still, I can't believe people are stupid enough to just sell the system so soon. I paid $250 and dry spell or not, I'm going to stick it out and see what's next. Especially when you consider that there is an awful lot coming down the pipes as the "Upcoming Wii Games" thread shows.

The only system I ever sold was my original Playstation, and that was becuase I rarely played it and because I was in a financial crunch at the time. I later got another Playstation for free.

Somehow I doubt all these people saying the Wii has no mroe good games have actually even bothered playing many of the good ones. I may be playing other systems a bit more lately (mostly classics that I'm buying new stuff for), but I still flooded the Wii with 11 or 12 disk-based titles and 16 downloaded (one Wii Ware). That's much more in a much shorter time period than I ever supported a console before.

What, do you expect to be playing it 20 hours a day and if you're not, then the system is crap? EVERY console I've ever purchased has had highs and lows--periods of near constant use and periods of non-use. I haven't played the DS, SNES, or Dreamcast lately, but that doesn't mean they suck or that I'm going to up and sell them.

Here's the other thing, the Wii hasn't even been out for two years yet. It seems pretty stupid to give up on it so quickly, especially considering how well it's selling and how many higher quality 3rd party games are in the works. But hey, if you want to miss out on The Conduit, MadWorld, House of the Dead Overkill, Arc Rise Fantasia, Fragile, and all these VC and Wii Ware games, I guess that's up to you. But then, don't complain about not having enough to play. You're the one that chose to ignore what was there.

Again, I'm not saying the Wii has the best selection right now, it's still going through the early learning stages that the DS struggled through. And like the DS, starting around the 2-year mark, things are going to be improving big time. But while the Wii doesn't have the best selection, it also doesn't have the worst there's ever been. There's a lot of quality titles on the system if you just open your fucking eyes.

Go ahead and sell it if you want to. Someone less naive will get to enjoy MadWorld, Star Wars Battlefront III, The Conduit, and Spore.


Sorry if this sounds a bit pissy, but shouldn't these kind of foolish threads be dying off by now? I mean, the thread starter is considering selling the Wii and indicates being a long-time Nintendo supporter. So that means he supported the no-game N64 and the half-assed-port-flooded GameCube through worse, but a successful console like the Wii just isn't worth his time. Gimme a break. "There are no new games out right now for the Wii." Well shit, genius, aside from Soul Calibur IV and MGS4, there hasn't been a whole helluva lot going on with the other guys this summer either.


I'll put it like this, I've had the Wii for a little over a year and I have 12 regular games, 15 VC games, and a Wii Ware title. If you have fewer games than I do (and I'm poor), then you shouldn't be complaining about the "lack of games on the Wii so I don't use it enough," because it's your own narrow-mindedness that prevents you from playing everything that's good and getting use out of your Wii.

@ Rocco

I'm beggining to think you live on a different planet. What interest?

I repeat:

Nintendo raised its annual profit forecast 26 per cent on improved Wii and DS sales and a stronger US dollar.

Citing strong Wii and DS sales along with an improved US dollar, Nintendo raised its fiscal year profit forecast from 325 billion yen ($3 billion) to 410 billion yen (US$3.8 billion), an increase of 26 per cent. This represents an increase of 60 percent from the previous fiscal year.

Nintendo also revised its hardware estimates and expects to sell 26.5 million Wii and 30.3 million DS for the fiscal year, up from 25 and 28 million respectively.

For software, Nintendo raised Wii software to 186 million units from 177 million units and DS software to 197 million units from 187 million units.

That interest

As for myself, aside from apparently a majority of puchasers, NO WAY. With the third party developers finally getting a reality check and Motion Plus on the way, the best is yet to come.

You'd do well to read the things you link before you link them.

Hyperbole contains a significant, usually overblown exaggeration used to illustrate a general point of opinion. For example, take the statement, "There have been no good first-party games out for the Wii in ages!" The bolded words are the part subject to hyperbole. However, the speaker doesn't really mean that it has actually been ages since the last first-party Wii release. Instead, a non-hyperbolic version of the sentence would read, "There have been no good first-party games out for the Wii for a long time."

However, your statement reads: "Some of the replies in this thread make me laugh: 'I'm not tired of the Wii because I still have to play these 2 year old games!'" The bolded part, I'm assuming, is the part subject to hyperbole. However, it is not for two reasons. First, it contains no significant exaggeration; the Wii has been out for about one and a half years, so lengthening that to two years is barely an exaggeration at all. Second, there is no equivalent generalized statement of opinion. You may have intended the sentence to mean, "I'm not tired of the Wii because I still have to play these very old games," but "2 years old" is hardly "very old" in the video game world. Alternatively, you may have meant, "I'm not tired of the Wii because I still have to play these games that are at least a few months old, but that's a statement of fact, not opinion, and exaggerating a statement of fact by making another exact statement that's significantly, but not exaggeratedly, bigger than the first isn't hyperbole; it's just obfuscation.

If you intended your statement to be hyperbole, therefore, it should have read something along the lines of, "I'm not tired of the Wii because I still have to play these games that were released back in the Stone Age;" or, "I'm not tired of the Wii because I still have to play these games that are older than your grandmother." As it is, however, calling your statement "hyperbole" is just a lame attempt to back away from a blatant troll post by going, "whoa, just a joke, folks!"

And even if you did have an adequate understanding of what hyperbole is, your post still wouldn't have been funny.

tl;dr: Learn something about dramatic literary devices before you try to tell other people what they are, and stop posting if you're not going to post anything constructive.

I lost interest since I bought Wii Fit and beat No More Heroes. I haven't touched my system since.

Will I sell it? No, because there will always be that one game a year that will come out for it that no other system will have and it will be great. Next year It's going to be Madworld.
