I got my reserve for Mario Galaxy this thursday, but I'm not hyped at all. I never liked Mario 64 and found Sunshine okay. I HOPE Galaxy turns out to be awesome, but I no longer have faith in Nintendo's console games to turn out this way. The GAF hype thread is out of control, but I haven't really bothered reading it. I haven't even watched a single video for the game yet. I kept reading "Man, Nintendo is going ALL OUT in Japan! ADS EVERYWHERE!!!" and I have seen a grand total of ONE commercial for it on TV so far. This commercial featured a little boy and his father playing together: The father is moving a "2P" cursor around the screen blowing up all the enemies with the press of a button, and the kid moves Mario over to collect the shit they drop. YAY EXCITING.

Great way to sell the game, Nintendo!
But I'm not hating. I'm not enough of a fanboy that I don't realize that this console isn't geared towards me.
I saw a lot more WII titles when I was in Japan this summer but I bet they're mostly crap too.
Nothing Japanese-only comes to mind that's worth it other than Gundam. There is this one mini-game collection with Taito stuff in it I want to check out one day though. It's also on the DS.
I dont get the classic control hate, its a sweet pad.
Yeah, I agree. It's a good pad; it's been fine for SNES games and Guilty Gear, but then I don't mess with the analog part so for all I know that sucks.
Theres actually only 2 Wii games Im looking forward to, No More Heroes and Battalion Wars 2. Everything else looks bah. Smash will be ok when Im on drugs, and I cant get excited about Mario.
When the Wii has actual REAL games, and not "casual" or "non-gamer" crap, it's okay. I fucking loved playing Biohazard 4 with the Wiimote, and now I'm enjoying Ghost Squad. The problem is that this machine clearly isn't made for the hardcore gamer, and Nintendo is making fucking boatloads of money off the non-gamer stuff to care. The system is full of ports or generic Nintendo mascot sequel #2320003203203. That's the problem, but there still are some good titles available. I think the Wii has an overall better line-up than the PS3 does right now, as sad as that is.
Just take the Wii for what it is: The party machine. It's what you break out when people are over who aren't really into video games. If you don't care about that and/or don't care about owning every current system, then don't fucking buy a Wii.
Path of Radiance is a turd, avoid that one, just play the GBA ones
I thought this was the Wii version, cuz GC = Wii. I LOL'd.
