| foxxycontin said: I've been thinking for a while now about getting a Wii, but I'm not sure if its worth the $200. There's a few games I really want to get it for, mainly Little King's Story, Klonoa, Muramasa, MadWorld, and a few others. Can anyone tell me why it'd be ok to purchase a Wii now and not have it be a waste of money and time? I know the systems 4 years old, and that sorta worries me. I'd also like to know if there's any games to look forward to, and some games that most people don't know about that I might be interested in. For the record, I bought a Wii at launch back in 2006 and sold it in 2008. So yeah, its been a while. =( |
First of all, some of the games you already named, like Muramasa and Little King's Story, are already great reasons to buy a Wii. But there's a number of other great games you can get. Just looking at the catalog from Nintendo itself, you have Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Smash Bros Brawl, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Punch Out, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess....etc. etc.
But as for your second main worry, is their good games coming out on the horizon? Yeah....just spend a couple minutes looking on this board and that question should be answered. 2010 looks to be the best year the Wii has had since its launch, if not ever. Games like Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Epic Mickey and Monster Hunter Tri, just to name a few. Not to mention many more big name games coming, such as Zelda Wii, Kirby Wii, Xenoblade, The Last Story and Dragon Quest X.
But the real decision you should make to gauge if you should buy a Wii or not is weigh how many games you 'want' on the system next to its price. Considering its $200, I'd say that's worth expecting about at least 4-5 good games out of the system. And the Wii easily has that many games out right now, plus getting twice that many in 2010 alone.
