Ok, so I'm a big Nintendo fanboy, but... I've barely touched the Wii in months. I waited in line and bought my wii on release night at walmart. And of course, I enjoyed the hell out of it. WiiSports was great, although something was lacking in the precision, but it was so new and revolutionary I let it slide. Redsteel was meh, though at the time I tried to convince myself it was awesome. Now Zelda, that was a game. But it would have been pretty much the same game on GC, though admitedly the clawshot slinging around probably wouldn't have been as good.
Later on the in Wii's lifecycle I've played Super Mario Galaxy, and Paper Mario, and wow, also awesome games. Still playing No More Heroes and that is very. Got Madworld from Gamefly and looking forward to it.
Yet I haven't played any of these in a long time. I stick to my ps3 and my xbox, hell I use the PS2 more than the wii. WiiFit is the biggest reason I want to keep the Wii. I love that game and it's good for my back. Writing this post has helped me identify the good parts of the Wii, but I'm still quite disappointed.
WiiMotionPlus? Weren't we supposed to have 1:1 from the beginning? Didn't they tell us we did? Now we have to buy something new for that. "Waggle" just isn't doing it for me anymore. With recent showing by Sony and Microsoft that both blow away Nintendo's motion control, what am I supposed to love about the Wii? The motion control is meh, and at best an addition to normal controls, rather than a whole new control scheme.
So what's left? Graphics? Nope. Easy online play? Ha. Friend codes are almost enough of a reason to sell on their own. First party nintendo characters I can't get enough of? Well, yes, but those are few and far between and I'm having a hard time justifying owning the system and all accessories for Mario.
Suppose that's enough. I guess I'm just disillusioned. Someone show me i'm wrong?
