Superb console and a generation won virtually on the strength of Nintendos brilliant first party efforts alone.It got people into gaming that would perhaps never have been interested in the past.As is always mentioned 3rd party support was hit and miss (mainly miss),but games like Goldeneye,red steel 2,cod games,epic mickey,zak and wiki and no more heroes prove that when effort was put into the system you could get great results.It does sadden me that the bigger 3rd party devs couldnt make wii exclusive games,built from the ground up of their big franchises,instead of ignoring it altogether in favour of the high def machines.The old underpowered hardware excuse does wear a bit thin when Nintendo show us that epic (and good looking games) can be made for the system time and time again.I really like motion control and find it does add immersion to games,but on the flip side many games had motion control tacked on as if it was neccessary to have it on every game.On the whole though i really rate the wii,and im sure in a few years time people will see the significance of this (love/hate) console.I have owned all the consoles this gen and even though i have experienced the HD consoles in all their glory,i still have no interest in bashing Nintendo or the Wii like some of the many fanboys have over the years.Perhaps that makes me the real hardcore gamer :)
