Because of Nintendo.
But playing wii sports's tennis and laughing like I was little kid again at a friend's house helped too.

I got if for the mario games,nothing else. I bought the conduit,which I regret. That game is complete garbage.

For the Nintendo games, mainly Mario kart. They never let me down.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I was initially going to sit this gen out. But I played Wii Tennis at a friends house in July 2007 in August I bought a Wii for Prime 3..and knowing that Brawl was coming so, the rest is history.

Likewise, I wasn't going to really be gaming anymore but I decided to get the Wii for some casual playing with the good ol' Nintendo games but then I decided move over to HD gaming.

I'm the opposite. HD gaming was probably the reason I was going to sit this gen out. Too much 'been there done that' for me.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Nintendo games. No one can match their quality imho. I love Smash Brothers, Mario Kart and even Animal Crossing. I loved Zelda but haven't put the time into beating the new one (I beat Wind Waker on the GC as my last Zelda). They truly have unmatched first party support, and even if no one made any games for the system besides Nintendo I would still buy a Wii at $150ish.



It's just that simple.

I don't play video games. But I'm renovating a house and I've been told the Wii has amazing dust collection abilities so i bought it to clean it out.
