I will be referring to GameCube a lot because its the Wii's predeccesor. Here's my opinion, what's yours? I'm talking about in terms of NINTENDO games.
To me the Wii was a dissapointment as a hardcore Nintendo fan. It just didn't have that Nintendo magic when I played Wii games. Yes Super Mario Galaxy was amazing but thats one of the only Nintendo games on Wii that had that Nintendo magic.. plaus I like Sunshine better. Mario Kart Wii was a let down for me. It was amazing at first but the long lasting appeal wasn't great. I still to this day love MKDD or MK64. And it felt like they didn't care about their own fans as much as casuals. I like Melee a lot more than Brawl. I like how you can build your own stages in Brawl but Melee had better multiplayer and the controls were a lot smoother and faster. I don't think Metroid Prime 3 was as good as the first 2.. or at least the first one... Twilight Princess and Wii Sports was the only must have Nintendo games in 2006. In 2001, the GameCube had 4 must have Nintendo games... Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Pikmin, and Super Smash Bros Melee. GameCube feels like it was made for hardcore Nintendo fans and at times hardcore gamers.. and the Wii seems like it was made for mostly casuals and sometimes Nintendo fans. Nintendo 64 was made for pretty much the same audience as GameCube. The Wii didn't have an F-Zero, Star Fox, Wave Race, or Pikmin game. A majority of 3rd party games on Wii is just party games or games that were cheap. The last good Nintendo game on the Wii was TLoZ: Skyward Sword which was released nearly 3 years ago. The GameCube had its last good Nintendo game only 3 months before it got discontinued. TLoZ: Twilight Princess. The Wii U so far is not dissapointing me. They had a 2D Mario game at launch along with Nintendo land. After launch Wii U had Pikmin 3, TLoZ: Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8. Coming soon is Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, Smash bros, Splatoon, Kirby, Yoshi, Zelda, and more....
Before anyone hates on me I still love the Wii.. It's tied for my favorite console of the 7th generation with Xbox 360. I just think in terms of Nintendo games it was a dissapointment compared to N64, GameCube, and so far Wii U. Share your opinion and tell me why you think it was or wasn't a dissapointment.
