I have a wii, and I dislike it because the motion controls in my opinion are pure rubbish and Nintendo knows this which is why they are releasing the motion plus to fix it.

The graphics are trash on my HDTv, and no I got ride of my old tube TV. Now I'm not saying Nintendo should of gone all out with it's graphics card, but it should of a least had a good upscaler to make it look decent on HDtv's, instead of penalising me for owning one.

The online is pure rubbish, no thanks to the friends code, could they make things anymore convoluted, I mean the PS2 had a system where every game had it's own username and password and although archaic it worked because it had a username system and if one wanted to and assuming they could they could have used the same username and password accross the board, but not on the wii, hell they took what the PS2 had for online and broke it even more, on the other side of the coin, the shop isn't to bad, but a tad pricey.

Now come the games, now I my self am no particular fan of mario games, or zelda games, so those are out. Mario kart and SSBM I feel were better on the game cube, and the rest of Nintendo's line simply doesn't interest me....now for 3rd party...well underneath the shit which is shovelware, and by god their is a load alot of it, are the rough gems like no more heroes, but their simply isn't enough quality games I like on it....and this all boils down to me not liking the Wii, of course there will be people who will disagree with me and that's fine, but this is my experience and my opinion, nothing more nothing less.

Now allot of you Nintendo 'fanboys' will read my post, most likely get offended, most probably report me to have me band, labelling me a 'TROLL' or a 'FLAMER'....but if you read my post in context of the thread, I am with in my right to give out my opinion as the OP asks the question "who hates the wii?", I am merely giving an answer.

are you serious!?

motion controls work ok if you have a brain, not in all games i must say, but they work great in most Nintendo games and 3rd party games, like NMH or Zack and Wiki, Mario Kart....

i got an HDTV with composite cables on Wii and Mario Galaxy looks amazing, yes, i have a Ps3 as well

online is great, Mario Kart has no lag, Animal Crossing works great when visiting friend cities, PES 2009 online works great and a lot other games, maybe it's not perfect, but not the rubbish you want it to be

everyone has a taste for this one, although it seems stupid to me to say Mario Kart and SSBB were better on GC, and to say Mario Galaxy and Zelda are not good, what a taste : P

 

they only one that makes sense is the graphics one, but still not a reason to hate a console

why not add "because it's selling more than my precious Ps3 and Xbox360" ???

 

 

 

Simple, because a consoles sales have no baring on weather I like a console or not, it's the games and the end of the day which is the deciding factor of which console I buy, which is why I bought my self a PS3.

Well I'm a ps3 fan and i don't necessarily hate the Wii
i just don't find Wii games challenging.
I personally own a Wii and a ps3 and the games for ps3 are way more challenging especially if you try to go for the trophies so as far as fanboys hating the Wii cuz its not their system isn't entirely true



"She said I'm F**kin Awesome!"

"Gurl don't be afraid, I just wanna cut, U can call me a squirrel, I'm just tryna get my nuts"

"Here's some daily science... The World revolves around the sun, not you!"

I dont hate the Wii, i just dont use mine. Last game i got was Wiifit (which i played few times, but it was boring).

so there you have it. I dont hate the Wii, I just find it boring



I hate it. I still play it every day, but goddamn, the anger keeps me awake at night. I just can't stop.

Somebody please help me.

This is an equally big problem on the PS3 when running 720p only games on a 1080i/p native display. The 720p image is stretched by the TV in order to fill the entire screen, which usually leads to significant image degradation and increased input lag.

The 360 is the only current console that comes with a high quality on-board hardware scaler.

I HATE the wii! You know why?

 

It was septembre, last year. I came home after a long day at university. The door was forced, everything was broken, on the floor or cutted down with some tipe of knife... Then i entered de kitchen... oh lord... that filthy console was raping my cat !! OMG, I couldn't believe my eyes!!

She saw me, but I was lucky to have a knife nearby, so I defended myself as I could... futile... a knife against a  nunchuck...

 

I woke up the next day... all my money, all my valious things were stolen... and the worst is... I felt pain under my trousers... and I knew... it was her doing...

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, sorry for the stupidity above but that's what I think about this thread. It's a damn console, an electrodomestic with no inteligence, unable to harm anyone. Hate the wii? Does someone hate the fridge? The TV? The PC?

I don't like the wii, but hate it? come on...

 

PD: brawl is one of the best games ever made... if only it was on PS3...



I hate the Wii because it killed Rayman!

No, I don't hate it. I just have no real interest in it. I genuinely don't like motion controls, whether they are on a Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo console. If I am branded a Wii hater for that, so be it.

EDIT: I love how people are allowed to hate the PS3 or 360 because it has no games that they are interested in, but if anybody hates the Wii, they are a fanboy or resisting the future.

are you sure!?

if Ps3 was the leading platform instead, you would not even waste your time to write proudly in forums about how rare you use your Wii, you would just ignore the fact that Wii exists, as people did with GC



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Of coure I would, if this thread existed in that parallel universe and things were different but that is note the case is it now.

Also, I owned the Gamecube and the Dreamcast back in the day, although I preferred the PS2 again because it had the games that I liked, but the GC and Dreamcast still had some great games as well.

 



I don't hate the Wii, I'm just not impressed.
