I didn't like the tacked on over-use of motion controls that many (especially third party) games had.

But ultimately, no, the Wii had far more games that I actually wanted to play than more or less any of the previous gen consoles' combined. It had a lot of cool 2D/side scroller type games, both retail and WiiWare, it had some great 1st party games like Mario Galaxy (1, not 2), Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime 3, and it even had a fairly good amount of good-to-great third party titles, like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, the Okami port, Muramasa, MH3, Red Steel 2, etc.

The GC was a decent console, but I think some people overvalue it far too much. And personally, I think those who overvalue it probably do so because it was basically their first console. Because to me, as a long-time Nintendo fan whose first "IT" console was the NES, GC, while it had many good games on it, also had many games that I just didn't care for. Wii had for more that I actually was interested in and wanted to play.

So no. It wasn't a disappointment. Except for the silly name, lol.
