If it's any Nintendo console that's underrated it's the WII ... I don't understand the hate for a good console.
NES got the credits it deserved, SNES was a little overrated, N64 and GC were trash because they didn't come close to delivering a worthwhile experience.

I almost agreed with an entire post of yours! But yeah, the Wii has plenty of worthy games for serious gamers that never require you to wiggle. I hate it when people act like every game makes you shake, rattle and roll.

Most of them do, and thats what the problem was.

It's not a problem if you read reviews beforehand so you know what you're getting into, and only play what sounds relevant to your interests. How is that any different than any game on every console ever?
Most of the good third party games made for the hardcore gamer crowd let you forego motion controls entirely, and many even gave you the option to play with a Classic Controller. There are a few that required motion input, like Okami, Zak & Wiki, and Red Steel 2, but if you have a problem with motion controls in games like those, that's a "you" problem, and I question why you ever bothered to own a Wii at all. Okami was truly enhanced by motion controls and turned combat from a button masher into a timing and rhythmic brawler, and painting actions more seamless and natural. If you take the motion controls out of Red Steel 2, you have no game.
There was a lot of crap that was born from motion controls, but anyone who thinks it never enhanced any games is only kidding themselves.
By the way, when I say "you," I don't mean at oniyide, I mean "you" in general.

only core gamers are gonna read reviews. We all know that and even them only some of them do. Hell if reviews were that important Just Dance would have died years ago.
I dont have a problem with those games. Red Steel 2 is one of my fav games on the system. I bought the Wii for those games. But my problem is there werent ENOUGH of those games. There were way too many crap like Bachelor or generic game collection #443 than there were things like Red Steel 2.
And IMHO it didnt enchance ENOUGH games. Besides FPS i cant really think of a genre that truly beneffited from the motion controls. IMHO i think alot of gamers felt like this hence why they are not enamored by the Wii. But thats just one issue.

Again, if someone doesn't bother to read reviews, that's their problem, and that's the reason Just Dance is overrated. In fact, it feels like the post above is augmenting my feelings that the Wii is the most underrated, because people didn't bother to do their homework on finding the good games.
When you say the unique control scheme didn't enhance enough games, you're mostly thinking of games that were completely defined by their controls, a la FPS and stuff like Zak & Wiki and Okami. There were plenty of games that made more subtle use of motion controls and/or the IR pointer that replaced typical button inputs in ways that weren't memorable, but didn't hurt gameplay either.

you just think Just Dance is overrated? Interesting. But IMHO thats my problem. Why should you HAVE to do research for a system like that I shouldnt throw a dart in a store and hit some shovelware title. If i have to do research just to get to some decent games, not even good decent then that console's library in the end really isnt that good. IMHO. The irony is that people who think is overrated are the people doing the research they are forum goers liek me. Just Dance people love the system for hte most part.
See thats the thing thats not good enough, nto when you are basing your entire console around it. It aint hurting gameplay but it aitn enchancing it so whats really the point at the end of the day? Better off just sticking to a regular controller at least then you know its gonna work. And there were some games they just shoehorned it in just to say they had it that did make it worse (looking at you DKCReturns) Thats just me.
