Why do you Love the Wii So much?

[McMad]

Simple. Just answer the title question, your answer can be long or short but I personally just want to understand why you; the core Nintendo fans, love the Wii, something I just can't seem to comprehend right now.

In this thread people can question others reasons for liking the Wii but I don't want any flaming, that's not the point of this thread.

[Slaggis]

I don't love the wii, no. There have been no really appealing games I've wanted untill now. With Mario Galaxy just around the corner and much much more I'm sure I'll change my opinion on it though. It's a good console with so much potential, that's only just starting to get realised.

This year, the 360 has had the better games come out for it, so far at least. Though taking into account the Wii isn't even a year old, mind.


edit: the poll is worded a little badly, I'm sure people like the Wii, but whether you love it is a different matter surely?

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

It has a different flavur. You can only eat so much of one thing. With the Wii you can have many more types of flavours.

[Hellfire]

Taken from the other thread:

"I love the fact that I already have more good and fun games than I expected from the first year, I love VC, I love that I can finally play with non gamer friends and family, I love it that games, like sport games that I didn't give a rats ass about before are now fun because of the controls, which is Tiger Woods and Madden's case, that should suffice no? Each one has different reasons for liking a console, most of the things you like about 360 I've been doing on the PC for years and most games don't entice me, that's why Wii was and is my first choice. Again, to each one their own, no problem.
Now talking like that, "oh they broke their promises" and you'll be done with Nintendo next year and whatnot, seems a little sad to me to be honest. Of course that if in 2/3 years you have a Wii and very few games you like, sure sell your Wii, but saying "I'm done with Nintendo" is a tad extreme. I didn't and don't like PS1 and for most of its life PS2 had mostly uninteresting, generic and bad games. I got one and it was mostly unused, but with time, great games came and I play it very often now. I never said "I'm done with Sony", I just kept the damn console and eventually I got to play great games like God of War, SHadow of the Colossus and Persona 3. I just think that going to extreme positions like that heavily reduces the enjoyment you could be taking out of games. It's like you view videogames as politics or something with that talk about promises and whatnot. I know you guys think I'm just a blind Nintendo fanboy, but the truth is, as soon as I get the chance, I buy other consoles and play them and I'm honest about their games, for example Shadow of the Colossus, was withtout a drop of doubt one of the best games I've ever played. I'm also dying to go to my friend's house and play Halo 3.
Rant over :P"

[jammy2211]

Cause it's new. After playing a PS1 and PS2 for about 11 years with all the games being similiar and not alot of progression, I guess I just got bored sooner or later. Sure, the games could still rule and there were some refreshing and new games, but for the most part it just felt like I had played everything before.

And this come this generation, 360 and PS3 still feel the exact same. The best games on their line ups are sequels, they're pushing for uber realism in graphics when I want a more artistic approach and it all just feels a bit bland to me. Of course there are games which are exceptions, which could end up with me getting a PS3, but not at it's current price.

Wii games just feel new and different, well not all of them, but the ones I'm looking forward to do, which is enough for me. The console's line up for the first year has been a bit medicre, but I don't think I've ever owned a console from launch which hasn't been hit with delays and droughts. For me, it makes it better in the long term, I guess it just helps me appreciate it alot more.

[khilafah]

so far I have not taken to my Wii as much as I would of liked too. I love the VC games but thats about it. If I was not downloading VC games the Machine would be collecting dust. There has been hardly any software I have wanted to buy. Luckily Mario Galaxy is out soon so the Wii will be used much more often.

[Hero-of-Time]

Do I love the Wii? Yes and no.

Since having a Wii since launch day I have had my ups and downs with it. I loved Wii Sports when I first got it but the novelty soon wore off. Luckly I had Zelda to play and although I loved it to bits it was lacking something that to this day I still cant put my finger on. Then came the release of a few games here and there but nothing really got me buzzing except Excite Truck which was in Feb time.

Sure other games have come and gone and have game me enjoyment such as R Evil 4 Wii, Eledees, Rayman and Wario Ware but nothing has had me hyped since last year when the Wii was actually launching....until now.

The next few months are going to be killer for Wii owners. With titles such as Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Resident Evil U.C and Mario and Sonic all coming out we are in for a hectic lead up to Christmas. I kid you not when I say I preordered 7 Wii games just last night off Gameplay which came to around £220 and im still missing some off the order that I wanted.

The VC is where my love really lies for the Wii. Having grown up with the NES, SNES and N64 the VC system is a great setup for those wanting to relive their youth, if only they would release a freaking hardrive though :)

So, do I love the Wii? Not yet. Do I enjoy the Wii? Most definetly!!

[McMad]

edit: the poll is worded a little badly, I'm sure people like the Wii, but whether you love it is a different matter surely?

I did that on purpose, I want to see how many people just like the Wii, and who are the people that really love it.

[Pit-Jr]

I like it as a 'game playing device' because of its VC and GC capabilities but it doesnt really excel at anything because Nintendo wont let it

[ThePigMarcher]

I had my doubts as to whether the Wii could work , but the moment I first swung the remote on Wii Sports Tennis I became a believer. It just worked , and worked so well.

The first proper game I bought was Madden '07 , a series that had been slumping in recent years , and the way the controls were implemented in that convinced me further. The level of immersion reinvented the game. Granted I could use smaller movements which didn't feel too much unlike pushing buttons , but if I wanted I could also imitate Matt Hasselbeck at Qwest Field.

After being sold/convinced on the controls all there was to worry about was the games.

Granted , there have been a few too many mini-game collections and the focus does seem to be too strongly in favour of the expanded market , but all the while Nintendo are still able to deliver on their well-established franchises , and there have also been some 3rd party gems , then I have no real concerns and will continue to enjoy everything the Wii offers.

[dynastygal]

I don't like the wii because I prefer to sit down with a dual pad rather than look like I've had a few too many. The novelty of the controller also wears off pretty quickly, and there don't seem to be that many new and interesting games for it.

You'll love 08 then, look forward to my review :P

[Maiky-NiSuTe]

because some of the games that come out on it. well same reason why i have a 360 i guess.. but the big diferance between them is Wii ill never play it alone. 360 i always play it alone (yes i consider playing online as alone)

[Jordan]

I voted no.
Hopefully Metroid will sway me, but right now nothing has impressed me very much.

I have 7 games on my Wii and i'm buying 4 more before the end of the year, but so far nothing has really sold it to me.

[ThePigMarcher]

You'll love 08 then, look forward to my review :P

Perhaps not :heh: , I have a few concerns about '08 and it does feel like a step back in many respects.

Saying that though , I still play it more than is healthy.

[The-chosen-one]

in dont love it but i like the wii becouse it is something really different it is something that i just wanna pick up and play



with my 360 i get bored very easily but that will change when i have virtua fighter naruto and assassin creed

and for the wii i hope metroid will wipe me from my feet after that i want Online multiplayer games it doesnt have to be better then the 360 stuff like that becouse for the wii its for free .

[McMad]

but saying "I'm done with Nintendo" is a tad extreme.

Maybe it is a bit too extreme and untrue to some extent, but seriously so far this year I have only bought one game made by Nintendo (I would have bought Zelda and Metroid on Friday if I had some money to be fair), normally I buy about 7 games by Nintendo every year, the reason being is because most of the games they've released this year aren't really worth my money, I don't want to have to spend £40 on Mario Strikers because it's the only game out at the moment.

But personally I'm just losing interest in Nintendo, and if there's more of the same next year and all the games worth a damn by them are released within one month of each other then I'm probably going to sell my Wii because then, it will just be a £180 paperweight to me.

[Phube]

I don't understand eveyone who says the novelty wears off?? It's the way you play... did the novelty of a D-pad wear off, or the analogue stick???

Play RE:4 on GC then Wii...If you prefer a pad still then there's no hope for you!!!

[Mikey]

It's ok, I guess. Nothing compared to the 360 though.

Er... Nintendo ALWAYS released few games. In fact, they never released so many games in such a short time.
But if you don't like the games, there's nothing to be done though.

Well d-pads are common design - pcs, xbox, gc, ps have similar shaped pads. Where as this new controller design was pretty much a novelty/gimmick. Mind, I didn't like the design before it even came out.

I don't like FPS.

There's been about one game every month this year for DS and Wii by Nintendo and none of them have interested me. (except for this month's offerings and next month's :heh: )

[thirtynine.]

Yeah, but the D-pad was new/novelty/gimmick once... like everything else!!!
Before that it was all sticks and paddles :P

[dynastygal]

Yeah, but the D-pad was new/novelty/gimmick once... like everything else!!!

When I started gaming it was a common controller so I can't comment.

[Tellyn]

Yes, I love my Wii. I think it's 'that Nintendo charm' (sounds like an American sitcom) again, I love the games, software, controls, everything. I'd love it even more if third parties started to give a damn.

Well d-pads are common design - pcs, xbox, gc, ps have similar shaped pads. Where as this new controller design was pretty much a novelty/gimmick. Mind, I didn't like the design before it even came out.

Guess who pinoeered the D-Pad? :heh: Nintendo know what they're doing.

[ThePigMarcher]

I would have thought the fact that the novelty of the Wii-mote has worn off is only a positive as it would mean that using it has become second nature. Just a thought ;)

[dynastygal]

Doesn't matter if they designed the d-pad or not, point is the wii-mote is poorly designed imo. Once you've swung it once or twice, it gets boring. And well, playing with a remote is no fun at all, tbh.

D-pad offers lots of buttons close together so easy to do lots of combos and stuff.

[Phube]

This is my whole point... I tried to use my GC controller a few months ago.. It just felt wrong.. Moving a cursor to chose things from a menu, sooo last gen!!

The D-pad is the cross on the standard controller (the + bit)!!!

The Wii-mote does exactly what it is supposed to, therefore it is well designed!!!

[dynastygal]

When I say d-pad I think of the ps2 controller and stuff...seems I've got my terms mixed up oh well.

And it may do what it's supposed to but it is poorly designed. Don't know about you, but I've played games using a remote control and it's uncomfortable as is the wiimote. You're forced to move your thumb up and down a large amount of space (in comparison to the size of a thumb). Where as with something like your generic controller design there is no stretching your thumb up wards (as in the skin between your thumb and the finger next to it isn't being stretched as much as it would on the wiimote).

You also have to have your arm pretty much mid air which can be a strain if you're playing for a long time.

[khilafah]

I am more excited about my DS rather than my Wii.

[Kurtle Squad]

dynastygal - Your arguments are amazingly flawed.

The analogue stick was once "exciting" and a new way to play, the same as the Wiimote was; ALL novelties wear off because then they become the norm.

Playing with a Wii Remote is no fun at all?!....It's the same as any other controller, with less buttons (which is kinda what I don't like) and a lil added wiggle instead of a right stick (which is a lot better). THEN it has the possibilities to be used in games such as Wii Sports, or wanking minigames in Mario Party 8.

[Hellfire]

dynastygal - Your arguments are amazingly flawed.


Of cours3! gurlz can't play gamez! lollerz nub!

But, yeah they are :P

I've played TV games too; the Wiimote has far less distance (i.e. it's normal distance) between things.


You also have to have your arm pretty much mid air which can be a strain if you're playing for a long time.No...you don't, and no, it wouldn't
Guys wouldn't be too happy with that stamina.

[dynastygal]

My arguments aren't flawed as I have played a wii myself and even google images of the hand on the controller prove you have to stretch upwards. The adverts prove you have to flail your arm about in some games as well as actual gaming experience.

And as I said before, ps2 controller shape and type wasn't a 'novelty' when I started gaming. But it was certainly better to play with.

I find the wiimote to be annoying to play with - come on, it's got a piece of wire hanging between it and the analog stick - wth? The generic controller design allows you to play with your arms resting in your lap, with your hands close together and easy access to all buttons with little effort. You also don't have to be continuously trying to aim with the controller - even just trying to select an option on the screen was a pain in the ass cus sometimes the cursor wasn't showing on screen for whatever reason.

Plus, ultimately, the wii mote is dangerous. Less so due to the new straps, but there is still the danger of it slipping out of the hand/strap breaking and flying across the room. Generic controller doesn't possess that danger.

Yeah, in wanking minigames; the adverts are an exaggeration in most case, with many games just to show the Wii as different, you can't use adverts as proof for ANYTHING, they're generally a sack full of lies aimed at morons.


And as I said before, ps2 controller shape and type wasn't a 'novelty' when I started gaming. But it was certainly better to play with.
I find it rather gross that you refer to is as a "PS2 controller shape" A PS2 controller is a SNEStroller with added growths.


I find the wiimote to be annoying to play with - come on, it's got a piece of wire hanging between it and the analog stick - wth?
So?

So does the Wii, though ur wrists rest.
You also don't have to be continuously trying to aim with the controller - even just trying to select an option on the screen was a pain in the ass cus sometimes the cursor wasn't showing on screen for whatever reason.
Move the smegging bar.

Google images? Tv adverts? yeah, these are certainly going to convince me, the Wii owner who has played a range of games with absolutely no problem from the Wii Remote whatsoever.

I find it extremely comfortable, and have no problem with fatigue or anything. Before you go praising the Dualshock3 or whatever it's called, why don't you try playing Lair with it's SIXAXIS controls and find out what bad motion controls really are? :P

You must be the first person I've come accross who thinks the Wii Remote is harder to use then a normal controller or something. Sounds like you start gaming during the PS2 days anyway, which means you've not really felt how controllers have evolved over time.

[dynastygal]

So you're a slimey, weak handed person ey!? Maybe strength is the biggest gain from not eating just rabbit food.

Not even going to bother with a person who clearly has no clue about other diets. It is more likely I have a far more varied diet than the majority of meat-eaters. So you can shut the fuck up. And besides, there have been vegan gold medal winners in all sorts of sports, including strongest person, so shove that up your rotten meat filled intestine.

So maybe get informed before spouting your mouth off.

And I have played the wii enough to know it's got a poorly designed controller.

And my first console was a megadrive @ whoever.

@Hellfire, there's even a site dedicated to photos and such of damage that's been done due to the wiimote being accidently hurled across the room.

Most of those photos are wither fake or from people playing the wii wrong.
In no wii games go you have to slide your hand up and down the wii mote. none at all. Also, its the best designed controller on the market, followed by the 360 then the ps3.
Also i think your flaming another member there...banz0r.
Also eating meat is natural. And correct. Dont force your views on others, but that disscution is for another thread really.

[dynastygal]

I never said anything about sliding the whole hand, I said stretching the thumb, big difference.

And I've flamed nobody - flaming means insulting someone which I have not done. He goaded me with his pathetic meat-eating bullshit. So I responded to him telling him where to shove it - not an insult, just rude.

Meh you told him to shut the fuck up, which was not nessasery, i thought you would be teh bigger woman.
Also, you dont even have to stretch your thumbs unless you have minature thumbs like that of a baby seal.
Also stretching your thumb crap have you ever played a psp or a ps2? ever tryed to use the analouge sicks? you have to stretch dont you...

Now I was going to argue with your point about how dangerous the Wiimote is - until I saw this. 100% genuine proof that the Wiimote can injure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxbkomoFLss).

http://img.youtube.com/vi/SxbkomoFLss/default.jpg


You've now convinced me of the potential deathtrap that is the Wii - I'm selling mine tomorrow :heh:



I think you should spread the word about these dangers and wear a t-shirt like this:

http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/01/wii_killing_me.jpg

[DCK]

Well, at any rate your opinion doesn't seem very educated. You should really play the Wii more. It is very possible you don't like motion controls, but the arguments you're bringing up show that you don't quite understand what the motion controls are about.

[Kurtle Squad]

Actually, I'm a pesco-vegetarian;)

And I have played the wii enough to know it's got a poorly designed controller.
Even though you've kinda proven that you're holding it wrong by saying you hold the controllers out and don't rest them in your lap or anything?!
And that whoevers Bar it is seems to be in the wrong kinda place.

[dynastygal]

And his comment about 'rabbit food' and strength was unnecessary - it was baiting/goading.

Also, the wii-mote is a similar size to my house phone, probably a bit bigger. I have to stretch my thumb up and downwards to tap in certain buttons.

[jammy2211]

You might think the Wiimote is dangerous but just think how dangerous the PS3 could be if you dropped it on someone.

[Kurtle Squad]

Also eating meat is natural.
Go eat a dog then.

Meh you told him to shut the fuck up, which was not nessasery, i thought you would be teh bigger woman.
She can say that if she wants; I'm no pussy.

[thirtynine.]

Go eat a dog then.

I would love too.

Can we stop with the stretching crap. YOU HAVE TO STRETCH ON ALL CONTROLLERS.

[jammy2211]

Also - hilarious jokes aside - have you ever though the button layout is intention? I think the point is the D-pad and 1 / 2 buttons are supposed to be harder to reach, seeing as they're pretty much there for if you play it NES style. (er, horizontally)

It's hardly the controllers fault if stupid developers map key inputs to the up on the d-pad or something. I think you need to establish the difference between what could be a design flaw and what was intentionally done on Nintendo's part.

Yeh, I actually can understand that now I think about it; So I retract my streaching argument, though though buttons you have to stretch for aren't used very much.

[AshMat]

Dynasty, your comments are ridiculous.

I think you've got it down to a T; whatever that saying actually means.


Also dynastygirl, If you found the rabbit food thing overly offencive, I am sorry, it was supposed to be a poke rather than a punch, if that's what it felt like. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think you could take that:)
Though I don't like veganism.:heh:

[dynastygal]

Say what you want, my opinion stands and I feel it is true because it's what I'VE experienced.

[dazzybee]

How old are you dynatygirl, seriously? Yous ound very very young which woulld explain your insanely ridiculous comments, and if you are 9 or 10 maybe people should stop picking on you.

Though I did find it hilarious when you said:

"So maybe get informed before spouting your mouth off."

That is irony at its most clear!

Seriously, you clearly have never, EVER played the Wii - you amazing argumnets include google images, the Wii adverts, the fct it looks like a similar size to your home phone, and a website that has pictures of Wii destruction! I would recomend leaving this thread and only post on topics you can talk sensibly on because you're just going to (and already have) annoy people; though actually, I find you pure comedy so stick around!!

Anyway, back on topic. Yes I love my Wii - I have over 20 games, I'm getting another ten in the next 2 months and I have shed loads of VC games - clearly more than I have time for, very happy, very excited about whats to come and the Wii has got me back in to gaming when i was thinking of stepping out!! Thank you Nintendo!!!

[jammy2211]

Say what you want, my opinion stands and I feel it is true because it's what I'VE experienced.

It's fine for you to have your opinion, but if you're going to be making statements like that expect a response. Perhaps you just need to play some different games or something, some games control lay-outs are horrific on the WIi, but they're the ones which were ported from the PS2 and were never designed around the Wii Remote anyway.

I would recomend leaving this thread and only post on topics you can talk sensibly on because you're just going to (and already have) annoy people; though actually, I find you pure comedy so stick around!!

Anyway, back on topic. Yes I love my Wii - I have over 20 games, I'm getting another ten in the next 2 months and I have shed loads of VC games - clearly more than I have time for, very happy, very excited about whats to come and the Wii has got me back in to gaming when i was thinking of stepping out!! Thank you Nintendo!!!

I'm 18. What of it? At least I'm not as big of a brat as to bring something totally unrelated as someones diet into an argument. And it's not irony, because he clearly knows fuck all about veganism so has no right to insult it. I know about the wii due to my experiences playing it, watching the news and shit as it unfolded before it's launch (which, even before it's launch I held the opinion that it was a crap design - and it's gone to prove me right).

And yes I have played a Wii. Sheikah ( MY BF ) has one which I've played on plenty of times.

So it's not that it LOOKS, it that it IS a similar size.

I have played a wii, and formed an opinion on playing with it. Can't hack the truth? Well tough.

The media lies.
Im sorry to have to tell you this.
Also your main argument is the stretch one.
Please explain how you play other consoles. As you have to stretch for them all.

I don't stretch my fingers and thumb as much as I would have to on the wiimote. Fact. And showing the wiimote design before launch is hardly a lie. Plus I'm well aware the media lies, I'm a vegan ffs.

Actually, there's a complicated reason why; all parts of society, peoples actions and beliefs etc, are affected by each other... blah blah blah, this is also proven by your above post ;) I'd carry on, but then probably get done for flaming or something stupid.

I know enough

I know about the wii due to my experiences playing it,
Which everyone believes you're doing wrongly
watching the news and shit as it unfolded before it's launch (which, even before it's launch I held the opinion that it was a crap design - and it's gone to prove me right).=Even though we're sure you're doing something wrong.

Why; If you hate it so much?!

I can hack the truth that you don't like it; but it seems you've just been plauying wanking games, or games with bad button layouts to me.
OR
It sounds like Shiekah's Bar's in the wrong place, or you're sitting in the wrong place.



Anyway; I also retract my apology; seeing as though you never accepted it, but then I wouldn't expect it from one of them:indeed:(i.e. Any non-meateater)
They're so hard headed and shit they give people like me a bad name.

I'm a vegan ffs.

You got the "I'm Different Brag Award"; you get 20 Lifeypoints to add to your Lifeyscore.

People trying to get that award on in their LifeWorld 360 is the exact reason I hate "camposexuals", but love Steven Fry (plus he's hilarious, and makes gay jokes:))
He gets 100 Lifeypoints for the Respectable Award :heh:

....Sorry; I've been trying to get Captain on CoD3, as I've always really played unranked before.

Agreed. You're drawing way too much attention to yourself, try and tone it down a little and you might find that less people would snap at you.

I had to go with no as well, nothing has swayed towards me playing it more than my 360 ever since I got it.

First of, lack of decent multiplayer games. This is meant to be a family orientated console but there aren't actually any good multiplayers on it other than WiiSports.

No online support. OK, there's one online game, but if you don't like that then that's it.

Poor graphics. Yeah, graphics aren't important and all that. When you play a 360 game then go back to the Wii, you'll realise how much you miss good graphics.

It's simple she's a dwarf - photographic evidence shows her cuddling a rat - look at it - it's massive next to her. I blame her diet :heh:

Seriously - Your entitlled to your opinion, however you are in the minority on here and some of your comments are just winding up the people on here.

Can't we all just get along? :confused: :wtf: :confused: :wtf: :confused:

I'm the same; though it's mainly CoD3's fault...oh, though I play quite a bit of multiplayer (I'll talk about next); that's Wii and GC:)

Yeah, although the Wii's better for "Next-to-mates Multiplayer" the range of games isn't great:
Wii Sports
Wii Play (2P:()
Mario Party's okay for a match of about 15 turns.

We usually end up playing N64(VC) or GC games:heh:

It's not THAT bad; you've probably just played the 360 and no other console for a while previously though. Going back to CTR after months of the Gamecube felt weird to me.
Once you start switching back and forth more often (Smash Bros. time) You'll probably forget about graphics:)

Ok im locking this thread due to the fact its turned into a slagging off match.
