It is probably the same amount of time you take, but it just annoys me. Especially if I don't know what I want to do next.

 

Ah =) I have a fairly consistent layout.. Spinal twist/stretch, followed by jack knifes, onto cobra, then plank, then push ups, then rhythm boxing. If Im in the mood, I'll go onto soccer or step dance.

Try animal crossing then. That lasts as long as you want it to.

 

try before you buy on that one ;).

 

came with my ds, it quickly became a used copy of castlevania dawn of sorrow.

 

mariokart wii is the true endless game on wii, you can play that till your hands bleed.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

strategy, shooters, rpgs, etc

deeper shit, but still skill required.

im dying for fatal frame to drop. I am eager about wii's future, but its been a slow 6-10 months for it now. COD5 came out, but I'm prolly grabbin it for 360 cus of the online/graphics.

i might get dead rising, cus i thouht it was impossible on 360 and maybe i could do it on wii

 

Have you played Bully or RE4? If not, the Wii versions are pretty good. Umbrella Chronicles is solid too. Metorid Prime 3 is pretty deep, and combined the shooter with adventure. Picture Zelda + Halo. Tales of Symphona:Dawn of the New World is a very cool RPG with good art direction. These are some of the games I own and have played thoroughly.

the only people who can't find good games to play are the ones who refuse to look. All 3 systems have more than enough good games at this point.

 

whatever.

at one point i owned probobly 35-40 wii games.  beat em or hated em, sold a bunch, still have 15 or so.  To me nothing has come out since mario kart.  I look believe me.  Game stores all around my work, I often wonder if theres some wii game I overlooked.  I am looking.

Name a game, I played or beat it.

Theres a bunch of wii games I do want comin out, but I been waitin for months for anything.

I think last game i bought and liked was powerpros, or endless ocean.

Yes there are good games on wii, but theyre so cheap and so short generally (aside from godfather, bully, etc) that you can go thru em in a month or two.

Or wait, maybe I refused to look.

 

Well, then if the Wii is badly in need of games, the X360 and PS3 are way worse off, as most of their games only last 6hr. But most my Wii games are generally long and last ~20hr or more, so I'm good.

And if NOTHING has come out since Mario Kart, then I'm sorry nothing suits your taste, but I could name 15 games easily that are quality games for the Wii.

If you want to say the Wii badly needs some FPS that aren't gimped (other than graphics) comared to the X360 & PS3, sure. If you want to say it needs more racers, sure. But there are plenty of games in plenty of genres.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Well it seems 360 is your lead system so not surprise you are more apt to play that over the Wii. Just how things roll. And of course if you don't buy anything for it you'll never play it haha. Once again how things are.

But it's good that Wii Fit is getting the job done for ya.

^You played through 40 games in one short interval and got bored so fast? No console would satisfy your needs!

(And playing through 40 games in a row sounds a bit too far. I mean, I myself take a month to finish each game, and I play them regularly!)

Well I picked up Wii in February of 2007 and WiiFit for myself for Christmas and this is the basically one month experience with WiiFit.

Although my kids (2 boys, 1 girl 6, 5 and 2) have never asked for a Wii or Wii Fit they were excited that we got one. They have played WiiSports and WiiPlay a good deal (not as much as the other toys they got for Christmas, but they played it.) and also fooled around with WiiFit. My wife and I played a WiiSports, WiiPlay, WiiFit some as well as many other games and as for me, it was really what I expected. Turning a button into a flick of the wrist OR I could actually play as intended and it was really fun and very immersive. I could play and beat most people in really all the games without mimicing the motions of the real thing, but that is cheesy and cheating in my opinion. Its a lot more fun to actually try to play the game instead of being a douche like other people often do. However, keep in mind all games generally have some way of cheating the computer as they are merely programs that follow the same routines.

The big thing is that my wife and I decided to really give WiiFit a chance. That after all is why we wanted a WiiFit. We have been getting spending each night to each get 30 minutes in on WiiFit and another 30 minutes on a separate exercise bike we purchased. We have both lost some weight. So I guess that as a exercise device the Wii and WiiFit is doing its job, especially since we are also eating better and using other forms of exercise as intended. As for a console the Wii does get a lot of use, especially by me. Not intending on purchasing any additional software for the Wii any time soon. We received a lot of other toys and plenty of other games already in my library. Though once Conduit and a few others come out I'm sure I'll have to pick them up.

Contrary to popular belief, you can wake up an hour earlier every morning and exercise for 30 minutes to lose weight without WiiFit.

 

There are also ways amuse yourself without playing video games. For some reason, people still buy video games, though. I'm sure there's no rational explanation why.

Of course Wii Fit isn't needed for exercise. Nothing is needed for excercise except working muscles, and nothing is going to do the exercise for you. Wii Fit isn't selling exercise, it's selling motivation. Virtual trainers, stat tracking and high scores help motivation a lot more than just making a new year's resolution and rolling back your alarm clock.

This is exactly why I bought WiiFit and am very happy with how it works. Plus, everytime I have had any type of family/friend get together at my house its turned into a massive everyone vs everyone to be best at the various games and aerobics.
