the wii is gone!

[Van Cruncheon]

and i am 262 us dollars (that's like .085 euros) richer!

A GREAT WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM MY HEART. if my daughter ever asks where the doggy game went, i'm kicking her outside to play in the bramble pile.

[demi]

You should buy Too Human to celebrate

[cool breeze]

Save that money up and buy a PSP 3000 in two months.

[BlueTsunami]

Put a portion of it aside for Infinite Undiscovery

[Joe Molotov]

Save that money, and with another $100 or so, you'll be able to buy this year's hot Christmas item: The Nintendo Wii!

[permutated]

Save your money for an 80gig PS3 with BC, or an iPhone.

Consumerism fucking rules.

You should have sold it to her... 

[huckleberry]

It feels so liberating to get the fucking waggle box out of your house.  My kids asked what happened to the Wii exactly one time.  I replaced the Wii in their bedroom with a 360 (for being able to watch movies too) and they never looked back.

[Shuri]

The wii is the shittiest console I owned, and I own a 3DO

[MyNameIsMethodis]

STFU the 3D0 has SSFT2T and Gex.

[Mrbob]

Good job.

I sold mine off in January for 300 bucks and haven't looked back.

Wii success is good for true gamers.  Allows us to resell a year old+ console for a profit!

[duckman2000]

Go Prole!

LOL, you want him to get the only system with less good games than the Wii?

[Rman]

Prole already has a ps3.

videogame hatred  :'(


i would never sell a console  :'(

[Guybrush Threepwood]

i would never sell a console  :'(

Me neither, but the Wii is definitely the worst console I've ever owned.

If I was the kind of person who sold consoles, my Wii would have been gone six months ago. If MadWorld wasn't a Wii exclusive, I'm sure the thing would eternally collect dust.

And worst of all, it seems that Wario Land Shake isn't that great. What a bummer. :\

[WrikaWrek]

My sister was enjoying Indiana Jones Lego yesterday.

I guess the console ain't all that bad. Not selling.

Man, I can't wait to sell mine. I'm just waiting for the holiday rush to maximize profit or minimize loss. I'm counting on Nintendo to get the gimmick train rolling around then with Wii Music or something.

Of course, the only part I'm not looking forward to about selling it is that I'll actually have to make up some good things to say about it (which'll be more difficult than a perfect play-through of MGS4) so that someone will actually buy it before realizing his or her mistake.

It's not that I hate videogames, I just hate the Wii, and I'm never buying another Nintendo product ever again because I've never felt so ripped off by a company before.

With LittleBigPlanet around the corner, I am pretty sure that I will be immune to any and all bouts of nostalgia whenever a new Super Mario game is announced. I'll just remember that LBP is next-gen and infinitely replayable, and any Super Mario game in the future will be gimped because of the gimped system it runs on.

Also, they turned the Zelda franchise into one that is about herding sheep, jumping horses over whatever the fuck those fence things are called, and retrieving runaway cats... all in the first five minutes of a game. I'd rather just play Harvest Moon on the PS2.

Also, I love this forum. I thought I was the only one who thought the Wii is a piece of shit.

[cool breeze]

I can't ever sell my Wii, or any console, no matter how little I may play it.  Although, I have been playing my Wii since yesterday; going back to Donkey Kong Jungle Beat now that I brought my Bongo controller from my old house and dusted them off.  This game is awesome.

[Great Rumbler]

I don't sell consoles. Especially not ones with Super Mario Galaxy.

Besides, I still have a lot of Gamecube games.

You mean he can just keep the cheaper easier to find Gamecube that has a lot of games and is more enjoyable instead of the Wii which is the polar opposite, while keeping his money? I never really thought of it that way. Thanks for the insight.

[muckhole]

My Wii got kicked out the door a while back. I haven't missed it yet in the slightest, and there's nothing on the horizon making me regret that decision so far. And believe me, I am easily excited.

[Tundra]

Seems i am in the minority here... I liked the Wii so far, and i am even a big fan of the Wiimote and Nunchuck control, but it seems i have all the big titles i wanted to play (SMG, Zelda, Metroid, and a few others) finished by now, and there are absolutely zero interesting games on the horizon. Nothing to look forward to, just vague promises.
 I mean with the notable exception of MadWorld, but i am not sure this is even my type of game, and i don't want to fall into the distinguished mentally-challenged Wii owners trap of buying things, because it's better than nothing ("Yeah, Conduit may look like shit, but at least someone is trying")...

edit: Plus it may be refreshing to be able to play something, that is not made by Nintendo/Miyamoto...

And when i go to the local gameshops, and see all of these petz and dogs and babiez games i am cry.

So, i will sell the Wii soon, and get either a PS3 or 360...Even on the PS3 i counted 15 and more games i am interested about (Multiconsole games included)...

Kind of hard to play SMG on a Gamecube.

[demi]

I'm sure he'll live not playing Mario is Jumping XXXI

[Guybrush Threepwood]

The solution is simple.

1. Buy a Wii
2. Rent Super Mario Galaxy and complete it
3. Sell your Wii (preferably during the Christmas season when a lot of people want it)
4.
5. Profit

[demi]

Alternatively, find a sucker who already owns a Wii and just bum it off them

Works for me when I need to play a PS3 game

[Madrun Badrun]

You sell a console your child loves but buy a new psp just because you had to have it in blue?  SMH

[demi]

It's not always best to put the children first. Children are scum.

[Madrun Badrun]

Is that what your mom said right before she beat you into a cripple? 

[demi]

Yes, and why God gave you a second butthole

[Crushed]

now these children will grow up hating games, and so you will ensure the collapse of the gaming industry

[Madrun Badrun]

Well my second asshole is slowly going away so nah!

Not if I can help it!

The Wii was doing pretty good until Nintendo realized that they didn't have to make games for the thing to sell.

[Oblivion]

Meh, I really do hate the fact that Wii is an overclocked GC, with a waggle thingamajigur, but I still think SMG is better than the entire Gamepube library. *SHRUG*


Well, at least Drinky made a profit, so it won't be that bad when he eventually rebuys one for the next Zelda.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Did that $262 include all the games or just the system.

I think I got screwed the most, I sold the system for $235.

Selling the Wii is the best idea anyone with two or more functional brain cells can do right now.  It is one of the few rare moments where you can play though what is going to be the best of its library (it won't get any better on the Wii than Super Mario Galaxy) and then sell it at a minor loss or a profit.  If you're that desperate to play Wario Land Wii or Twilight Princess 2, you can just buy it for $10 sealed when you get the Wiii, or on an emulator.

[Van Cruncheon]

system and an extra controller and a classic controller and resident evil 4.

what about if a person has an entire library of wii games that they like to play through when they feel like it, and is looking forward to many more wii games in the near future

[MoxManiac]

Wii is sucking but i have a shitload of VC stuff and I need to keep the thing around for Mario Galaxy and Fire Emblem.

Still, FU Nintendo and your piece of shit console

then that person is either a 10 year old girl or AN distinguished mentally-challenged and should never be on gaming forums

[Crushed]

alternatively, they love videogames and do not sell their consoles (not even making a profit! :'() just to make sure that there are less videogames in the home

[demi]

that would classify that person as AN distinguished mentally-challenged

[Van Cruncheon]

loving videogames means not tolerating crap

[duckman2000]

370 for mine, including 4 "games"

[Crushed]

no crap to be tolerated, just good videogames

Games that are worth playing for Wii:

Super Mario Galaxy
Zack and Wiki (but only because I am a sucker for adventure games)
...

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I don't know how many good Wii games there are.  I can think of 4 or 5 that will hold up after six months of release.  Most of the "OMG Wii has a ton of good games" are the DS fanboys that thought C-Grade games like Hotel Dusk are considered classics.  In other words, if it is remotely playable, it is now considered awesome.  I don't care to spend my hard earned $50 on games because they weren't total shit.  I expect better and the Wii just isn't delivering.

True, Wii does suck

[Crushed]

i have no interest in trash such as mario party or donkey kong's butt-racing adventures, and i found twilight princess to be merely somewhat enjoyable during the more clever dungeons, if middling

[Van Cruncheon]

buy a ps2

[Crushed]

i own one, i enjoyed it

[Van Cruncheon]

did you enjoy it more than the gamecube?

[Crushed]

i really only played mgs games, ssx, and zoe on it, so about the same level of satisfaction

and okami and sotc

[Van Cruncheon]

you didn't answer my question. ps2 or gamecube: which would you pick?
