Does anybody not like the nintendo wii

[Lord N]

I don't hate the Wii, it just doesn't suit me.

I'm not taken in at all by the Wiimote. It can be fun to use for some games, but for me, it just doesn't add anything that's all that great. As a matter of fact, it can be very tedious and cumbersome at times. This kind of ties into my next point.

I'm a big fan of Nintendo's first-party titles, so this would have been enough of a reason for me to purchase one. But upon learning that LOZ: TP, Mario Strikers Charged, MP3: Corruption, and SMG only allowed for use of the Wiimote, I was put off. The Wiimote made Mario Strikers almost completely unplayable, and MP3 and Mario Galaxy just didn't feel the same. I honestly don't know why Nintendo didn't allow for use of the Classic Controller or Gamecube controller with these titles. Is that asking too much?

There's also the price. I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but $250 is way too much for what you get, even if it does include a bundled game.

I can understand why so many people are so crazy about the Wii, especially those who have never played games before, but for me, it's all style and no substance. I'll pass on the Wii this generation and stick with the DS as my Nintendo console of choice as I find its unorthodox control scheme and game library to be far more impressive than what the Wii has to offer.
