Forums - Gaming Discussion - Who has a Wii but isn't playing with it?

Final-Fan on 15 October 2007

My brother, that's who.  

I don't see my brother as much as I did when we lived together, but I met up with him recently and it seems he hadn't played Metroid Prime 3 ... at all.  In fact, when questioned, he said that he hasn't really been playing any Wii games (he also has a 360).  

"Basically, I knew when I bought the Wii that it was mainly just so I could play Galaxy and Smash Bros.," he said.  "I hate that I'm buying a console just so I can play two games, but I have to -- they're just going to be that good.  That's Nintendo for you."  

Thoughts?  Is anyone on this forum in the same position?  

P.S.  I am aware of the double entendre in the title.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

That was me, until I dished some money out on games.

I'm still disappointed. But my PS2 is just out of games that interest me, and the DS doesn't have any in the first place.

Nah I play it sometimes but I don't play with it when I am alone, only when there are friends.

I'm a big Metroid fan, and even I haven't finished Metroid Prime 3.

Right now my Wii is at my friend's house...it stays there more than my house probably hehe. I go over there a few nights a week, and we play SSBM, Strikers, and Sports typically.

So I play it a few times a week, but I haven't been playing through Metroid or SPM which I rented.

I blame both TF2 and my general fatigue lately...working every day with only Sunday off, I'm either on the computer at home or sleeping typically.

I need to get back to Metroid soon though. Same with Zelda: PH.

I bought the games, I will always have some dead period where I need something to play, and I'll have games to play then for sure. So much to catch up on.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

The disc drive in my Wii was getting very loud so I sent it into Nintendo for repairs while it was still free to do so ...

Thus I'm not playing with it :(

I'm not playing with it but I'm not playing with my PS2 either even though I should finish FFXII, GTA3, San Andreas, Vice City, Max Payne 2, MGS3, God of War, and so so. I just like playing games on my PC too much. Can't seem to get out of the habit of PC gaming and move towards console gaming. It won't be this way when the next Zelda comes out, though.

For me too my wii is broken so I sent it to Nintendo for the free repair. I really want to get it back to finaly start metroid prime 3! Stupid dog making my wii fall on the floor!

im not playing anything at the moment. College is brutal and time demanding.

As of right now, I am playing occasionally on the wii when i get time, but mostly to play VC games like Super Mario 64 (N64) or Donkey Kong for (NES). I dont know what happened all of a sudden. It like....im a....a.....CASual GaMer! NOO00ooo!

Hopefully when Medal of Honor (Wii) comes out im gonna try that as well as Brawl (Wii) next year. But to tide me over im gonna kill some hours with Warhawk (PS3) or Heroes of Mana (DS).
