Fair enough as it's your opinion. However, I'd like to point out that Wii BY FAR had much better 3rd party support than the N64 did. And in some respects, even better than the GC did. The thing is, N64 got some really great exclusives but didn't get many multi-console ports. GC got a lot of key multiconsole ports (though not enough), but didn't have many really stand out 3rd party exclusives. Wii had a really fairly decent combo of both, to be honest.
And really, I can understand some people not liking motion controls, especially with games where it was just tacked on or used too much. BUT, allow me to point out:
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, NSMB Wii, Wario Land: Shake It, Mario Kart Wii, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Monster Hunter 3, Smash Bros. Brawl, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Retrun to Dreamland, DKCR, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, The Conduit, Goldeneye, Okami, Little King's Story, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, etc., all as games that are either solid or even great, and all of which that either make minimal use of actual motion gestures, or provide the option to not use them at all (or simply just plain don't use them at all). And that's not counting many great WiiWare games that also fit that bill, such as Tetris, Dr. Mario, Cave Story, Konami's ReBirth series, the Blaster Master remake, La Mulana, etc.
In my opinion, the Wii had a lot more games I actually wanted to own than N64 or GC did, even though both of those consoles had some truly great games.
"viJilance said: NES was an abomination of terrible programming. What a glitchy pile of pubes. I'd rather inject gasoline into my retina than look at another 8-bit mess ever again."
This has GOT to be grade A trolling, otherwise I don't know that you've ever really played 8bit games. Most gamers, even ones who prefer modern gaming, still recognize the actual GREAT games that came from the 8bit era. The NES was the most popular console of it's generation, and every top selling console of any gaming generation has had loads of shovelware and sub-par crap. That goes from the Atari 2600 all the way through the PS2 and Wii. For that matter, I'd say it's a safe bet that just about every single console ever released has had MORE shit games than good in it's library when all was said and done.
But having said that, the NES had SO many fantastic games and series on it, from Super Mario Bros., to Zelda, to Metroid, to Kid Icarus, to Kirby, to Star Tropics, to Tetris, TMNT, Ninja Gaiden, Double Dragon, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Crystalis, Battletoads, Adventure Island, Mega Man, Castlevania, Power Blade, River City Random, Mighty Final Fight, Gradius, Punch Out, Excitebike, RC Pro Am, Metal Gear, Bionic Commando, etc. etc. etc. etc.
There was a LOT of greatness on that console. An argument could be made that it had perhaps the best overall library of games of all time. Not being a big fan is one thing, but flaming 8bit tech for being old? Kinda pointless.
