@ Resident_Hazard: Sadly, no. I don't live near a store that have these two games. I have to ask them to order the games if I want to buy them, which is a hassle in my opinion. Geometry Wars is interesting though, but it's not what I can call a traditional shooter. Paying full price for it is a bit much. Also, I have R-Type, Gradius I and III, Soldier Blade, and all the other ''hardcore'' games from the 8-bit/16-bit era (Contra series, Gunstar Heroes, etc.). That's why I said I still go back to play my Virtual Console games, because they are cult classics! It's still fun to try and get better at these old games, but now, all the newly released games are too easy... Thus my complain about replay value. Is there a point to get better now? The only satisfaction I can find from them now is to do speed runs, but even those get boring at some point.

 Both Geometry Wars and Blast Works have dropped to $19.99, so go ahead and pick 'em up.  Amazon.com if you have to.  I don't get what all the fuss was over spending $40 on Geometry Wars since, in all reality, it's actually a pretty freakin' massive game.  There are over 60 or 80 areas, each with their own quirks and challenges, and going for different medals is often extremely challenging, plus there's the online leaderboards.  I have bronze medals on everything, and Silver or Gold on about half of them.

I think most games have lost replayability as they've become more "realistic."  Geo Wars will likely give you that replayability you're looking for.  It's not a scrolling shooter like Ikaruga or Soldier Blade, but it's still one helluva hectic blast fest.  Some of the helper options are pretty damn lame, though.  It could be that I just haven't found a logical use for about half of them, but then it really could be that they just suck.

It is naivety when you boil the Wii down to having only "mini game collections." That shows a lack of knowledge of what is actually on the system.

It was a general statement to emphasize how "clogged" the Wii is with mini games.  Poor choice of words, my bad.

When you say, "games for me," what are you referring to? Because the Wii seems to have a fairly wide selection of genres, in fact, a much wider selection than either the Xbox360 or PS3 which are both clogged to the gills with First Person Shooters and sci-fi/military/war-based titles.

It's ok for you to generalize the 360/PS3.   Do you see the similarities?

I see that you don't have a game collection listed under your profile. Perhaps you're one of those people who think that the only way to make a true hardcore game is to make it an FPS or RPG these days. Do you ever try other genres? I own and play games from pretty much every genre that has ever graced a video game console. I hardly care for one over another as I simply enjoy good, fun, high-quality, creative games. Turns out the Wii has those, even better than the N64 ever did which was clogged with crappy 3-D platformers and whatever else Rare came up with that wasn't Goldeneye. However, the N64 has long been a mystery to me since so many Nintendo gamers sing such high praises of the machine, and I feel that, aside from the Virtual Boy, it was the crappiest thing Nintendo ever made--and the system that nearly caused me to stop gaming.

You got all that insight from me not having a game profile?  So the N64 is crappy to you and that's ok because it's your opinion and N64 wasn't for everyone.  However, if I'm loosing interest in the Wii then that's blasphemy.   No, no, I'M LIEING!! No, no, I've got mental issues ;)

The odd point you state is that you now dislike the Wii but have always been a Nintendo gamer. This makes the "I'm tired of the Wii" sentiment seem irrational since the Nintendo has delivered all the same stuff for the Nintendo gamer that all previous Nintendo systems had. Strong support of chief franchises, creative new titles, niche titles, and fan service. This is what's most puzzling. Because it's like you just woke up one day and decided that now, for no reason at all, you suddenly hate all the stuff you used to love, and in that, you feel the Wii is a failure--because the fan service you used to swallow up is now something you dislike.

Either that, or you were actually never a big Nintendo fan and lied about that in your original post in order to better sell the Wii short of your supposed expectations. However, being the fan-service-needing Nintendo fan makes sense for you since you liked the N64 and disliked the GameCube since the N64's only quality titles were all 1st or 2nd party Nintendo games and the GameCube's shining stars were often not built by Nintendo--Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, Viewtiful Joe, etc. In fact, as far as fan service goes, the GC was the worst Nintendo system because it had on of the worst "regular" Super Mario games ever made and the weakest and easiest Zelda title ever crafted.

You nailed it!! I'm lieing... made the whole thing up.  I never owned a Nintendo console ever.  Would you prefer to believe this lie?

That all said, it seems that if you were in fact an actual Nintendo fan, that fan service is something that you were drawn to--and again, in that regard, it doesn't make any sense that you would so dislike the Wii since it's done more fan service for Nintendoheads than any other system--especially when the VC is factored in.

I think you're misunderstanding me.  Dislike and loosing interest are two difference things.  I may sell it eventually but it wont be a rash discission.  I am hoping that good third party support will indeed come.

Do you suffer some traumatic brain trauma or something? I hear that can alter personalities...

Resorting to insults, I like your style ;)

I think you nailed it. Those games were and to me still are very memorable. I can't even tell you how many hours I spent playing WCW Revenge, Goldeneye, and Zelda.

As far as I can see he didn't ask for a lock.
