If you really do have a wii I'd suggest looking at the games out now and the games coming out latter and with wii as big as it is and selling like it does I'd really suggest just keeping it because once wii hits 100million and used wiis sell for 90$ its going to get great 3rd party support...............

If he's only purchased those two games so far with all the previous great games that came out, then he needs to sell it as its just not for him.

Or it could just be that the OP didn't bother to research the Wii's library well enough. Unless someone happens to be a graphics whore who refuses to return to SD gaming, I don't see how they couldn't get some great mileage out of the Wii. It's all about doing research and picking out games that match your interests.

It's hard to believe that someone can't find at least a dozen games on each console that would appeal to them.

I sold my Wii last week, I did my research as I do before I buy all my games. To many the library is unappealing and the the games that are good are to hard to find among the piles of shovelware sold in local stores. Don't attack his opinion just because you have some sort of Wii loyalty.

If you can't find quality Wii games at brick and mortar, try online shopping. Especially when Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop offer free shipping these days and have great selections online, online shopping is very worth it these days. If you still can't find what you are looking for from those merchants, theres always ebay and what not. I have yet to have encountered any problems yet with finding games that I want after acquaintaining myself with online shopping 7+ years ago.

There are literally hundreds of games on the Wii, I don't see how you can't find at least a dozen games that would fit with your interests. The same goes for the 360, PS3, DS and PSP. Unless you really need the money for something else, I wouldn't advise him on selling the Wii. Especially with all the jrpgs coming out for it and his interest in the genre. Unless he only wants to play in HD.

 

There are heap's of games I'd love to buy on the Wii, but I don't like online shopping and the effort to find the specific games I want is a nuisance considering it's much easier to buy games for my other consoles. I don't know if it's Nintendo's fault or the retailers, but the Wii games that I do find are far to expensive, Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl are all at launch price l in Australia. The Wii isn't for everyone and despite what many may think, it is a casual console drowned in shovelware, it's sad but true.
