Plus a SHITLOAD of NES, SNES, N64, Master System, Megadrive, Turbografx, C64, Neo-Geo, MSX and Arcade games on the Virtual Console.

All these games are worth a look, so look them up if you really are interested.

I am never doing this again.

See redded. And i couldnt be arsed to look around th net eny longer for the other video's they are harder to find then i thought

So that's already close to 20 games you'd play if you owned a Wii. I'm glad my list of awesomess wasn't in vain.

correct me if im wrong, but you missed muramasa and super sluggers. mario super sluggers provides hours of drunken fun with your friends.



It seems like you found a reason to buy one, then, serious. You seemed to want enough of those games.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

@ Chrizum

Yh but the only problem is most of them games arnt worth the purchase of the Wii to me. They are games i would get for dirt cheap if i had one but not games that would make me purchase a Wii.

Games in your list that need to be played some day

Mario galexy 1 n 2
New super mario bros

And thats about it to be honest. The rest of the games to me are in the same catorgary as prototype. A gmae i would probably play when the price comes down but would never purchase a ps3 or 360 or pc for.

Games like smash bro's and tales are games i would probably pay full price for. And MK Wii is more of a purchase because of loving mario kart snes years ago.

So even though the are games that i would play on the Wii. I wouldnt enjoy them enough to justify a purchase of the Wii because they are too shallow.

That hack and slash game looks really good though



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

dude come on now, the wii is only 200 dollars. there are games out now that you want, and games that will come out that you will want. and i dont believe that those three mario games are the only games that 'need' to be played. are you telling me that metroid: other m doesnt intrigue you? fucking cant wait for this game. also, there is a fucking ZELDA on the wii, and there will be another one next year (maybe 2011).

not to mention the wii has THE BEST downloadable content of the 3 consoles this generation. Virtual console and wiiware can stand alone as its own system if you ask me.

the is a big difference to a game that i like and a game that i would spend my money on. Another problem the Wii faces with me though is that the PS3 PC 360 will continue to have higher quality games that take my attention away from these "decent" games.

 

That hack and slash one looks really fun though. And all them mario games. For me to get a Wii. The would have to be a game on it or a few to be honest where no other console has no equal.

eg.

Mario, Wii Sports, that hack and slash game.

For me PS3 has like. Uncharted, GOW, Heavy Rain, TLG, LBP, GT5, FF13, MGS4, SF4, UFC, Ratchet, AC, KZ2, HS, DMC4, BATMAN, YAKUZA GAMES. and way way more. These are just games that i have to have not just games that i get because of them just being good.

I hope you know what i mean

I am really a hard person to please. I buy consoles first and formost for games that i will play from begining to end. Not games that i will be like oh thats good then play for a bit then never really play it again.

The only thing that bothers me about the PS3 is that it doesnt really have pinball games and stuff like that, I like them kind of games but i just cant find non.

If i had a Wii only i would be like WTF. I really really aint trying to diss people who have it. But i just dont understand its appeal. Maybe it gives people new experiances and if thats the case then i need games that dont have an equal on the PS3 or 360/PC etc

I wanted a PS3 really, but I bought the Wii so my mom can maybe enjoy it too, and boody hell, she plays the snot out of that thing, I am liking it a lot myself.




I picked the Wii, believe it or not, was because the PS3 was $600 at the time. Virtual console, ability to play Gamecube games, and Brawl were the number one reasons why I picked the Wii. I was also a self-proclaimed Nintendo fan. Although it is collecting dust at the moment, every time I play it, I have fun (Well, sometimes). I really wish that most Wii games weren't redundant. They're good, but I find myself having to repeat various segments, which gets boring. Other than that, its a pretty good system. It has a set of great games, but also a noticable amount of Shovelware, which really prevents it from shining like they should.

As for the DS, I love it. I was initially against it because it looked like a gimmick, but as soon as New Super Mario Bros. came out, I reconsidered, and I don't regret any of it. The DS is probably my most played gaming Peripheral. I play it in bed, I play it regularly. The good aspects the DS has is its games. There's a series of excellent games. You will never run out of games to play, whether you are "Hardcore" or "Casual". There's game for everyone, and for everyone to like. The only downside is how weak the DS Lites are. My second one is barely hanging by a thread. Other than that, the DS gets my vote for best gaming peripheral this gen. Not even the consoles can match that.



This is the true definition of owning.

Its appeal is that Nintendo made it. For me, that's literally it. I will buy any console Nintendo puts out because I know what is going to be on it. They have never failed me in the past, I don't see why they would now. Nintendo games don't appeal to some people like they do to me and many others, I suppose.

If you like pinball and have a DS, I would recommend Metroid Prime: Pinball. =]
