Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4443 Joined: 8 Jan 2009    | Keep it, never know when another game is going to come out for it that you might want. Save up for a PS3 anyways as well. Join us in the holy order of multiple console owners! |

I hear otherwise about The conduit... As for keeping the Wii, most people I know who raved about it when they got now leave it well alone. It doesn't seem to be a console for gamers, more of something you pull out when your friends arrive. The PS3 would be your best bet, if you're looking for some good solid gaming. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4420 Joined: 26 Apr 2009    | Well, I have the homebrew channel, and it adds to the entertainment quite a lot. Go research it to find out more. I use my wii to play drunken Smash Bros. and MarioKart, but I always have fun with it. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1688 Joined: 24 Jun 2009     | Well, if they got boring pretty fast, you might want to ask why they got bored. If it's just genuinely unfun, then a switch to PS3 might not help actually stave off boredom. If they just ran out of replayability, invest in a rental card, and browse around, pick up some new titles, or some old titles, if you missed any GCN games that you might want to play. Beyond that, I'd say it's a question of current savings and income versus how much you'd get back for a used wii, and go from there. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1508 Joined: 17 Apr 2008    | Depends on how much money you could make on it... I'd say if you want, wait for NMH2, play that THEN sell the Wii. |

Kazaa for Homebrew! Do you utilize the usb loader, at all? |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 748 Joined: 7 Jul 2009   | Get rid of that pile of junk and get a PS3. You're on a site mostly devoted to gaming, I'll assume you're a gamer like myself. I got a Wii shortly after I got my 360 because it was cheap. I figured with Twilight Princess, the Wii must have some games that aren't going to suck hardcore. I was gravely mistaken. I still have only Red Steel, Wii Sports, and Twilight Princess. However, I am thinking of getting No More Heroes... Anyway, the Wii isn't a console for real gamers. It's a console for families to pull out during a birthday party and everyone can play Super Smash Bros. for five minutes before they drag their ADD-addled heads off to stuff their faces with cake. I'm surprised all Wii systems don't come with a bottle of adderall or something. Nintendo is just a plague on the gaming industry anymore, if you ask me. |

1. I could get the games for free as roms. |

What is a real gamer? You consider the industry that brought gaming back a plague? |
Copy Clerk Posts: 110 Joined: 5 Jul 2009 |
Get No More Heroes that's the only reason I kept the Wii. |

Let me clarify. First of all, my post was purely opinion. Second, I used to think Nintendo was great. They did a lot of good things, but now Nintendo has changed, and yes, it's now a plague. Someone can save your life, but they can bug you about it for the rest of your life and make it crap by saying "I saved your life, y'know." Oh, and I think a real "gamer" is someone who has a passion for gaming and does it regularly. My father plays games occasionally, but I would never call him a gamer, because he doesn't play any game seriously nor does he play them often. However, his friend Lyle who lives across the street is a gamer because even though he's a busy guy, one of his favorite hobbies is gaming. |

1. Eh, just adds reassurance to my belief that most of the internet are selfish and dishonorable. |

Let's see now Zelda Wii the same as Zelda 64, Galaxy 2 same as Galaxy 1, New smb Wii same game from the DS game just added Multiplayer, the other M looks like it changes up gameplay in a new way for metroid but I'm not crossing fingers |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 91 Joined: 9 Jan 2008   | No More Heroes 2 is coming out, so yes. |

My main problem with Nintedo is that they release the same games all the time and people really buy the same game over and over. I never understood that, I know fans will eat anything up but come on |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 514 Joined: 29 Nov 2008  | No More Heroes 2, The upcoming Legend of Zelda game... that's about all I can think of at the moment. I have a wii as well and I was wondering if Redsteel2 was responsive enough, because the only demo footage I saw at e3 seemed to show noticeable lag and unresponsiveness between player motion and in-game motion, I'm not sure though |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1796 Joined: 26 Apr 2009     | Keep your Wii and save for a PS3 at the same time. This way you'll have insurance incase the Wii doesn't deliver.
They're too scared of lawsuits that don't exist. |

I just got bored with Zelda because it's the same game. Zelda gets kidnapped, Link goes saves her, that's how you explain all the Zelda games |

It's kinda ironic that all their major franchises were milked until they had lost major interests, yet the strange and bizarre titles flopped stateside. I have yet to buy any new release of Nintendo's favored franchises. Some personal boycott until Mother makes it's way to VC. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4746 Joined: 3 Jun 2009  | I would keep it, just for Mo More Heroes 2. Honestly, the PS3 doesn't have that many great exclusive games, for the most part, the 360 will play the best games for it. The Wii also has Zelda games coming out which is one of the reasons i still have mine.
True, but look at how far the concept has come, each game introduces a new and original feature. Even Twilight brought in a few new things. The overall story doesn't change, but each one is a bit different. And besides, i hope for the best, that is a new game from Zelda that, like Majora's Mask, creates a story away from the princess. |

So Nintendo is bad for the gaming industry because they want to bring out the gamer to the non-gamers. Makes sense to me. After all, we ahem "real" gamers were never casual when Nintendo came out with the NES. It's the same marketing strategy that they used over 15 years ago and it still works. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 674 Joined: 5 Mar 2008   | I'd hang on to it. A game might come out that you want (check a list of future releases) and it is a good way to kill time with friends or family. Plus, you have a 360. Not a whole lotta reason to get a PS3 as well. If you really want a PS3, start saving your money and wait for the price drop. |

this to a nutshell. And only get a ps3 if the few exclusives they have that are different than the xbox's actually make it worth your while to shell out 600 bucks. If you don't like the exclusives, it really just ends up being a big clunky expensive blu ray player. |

yeah that's a good point |

But one new feature doesn't cut it for me I rather find a new IP to sink my teeth into. |

All systems have some functional equivalent to VC, though I find PSN's selection of past system titles a bit underwhelming. There are a considerable number of exclusives to the console, but like stated if you don't really care about them there is no need to get them. Multi-console games aren't vastly different anymore to really warrant comparison. Easier to just go with what you have. |

I really got bored with the Wii now It's just here collecting duct the only reason I kept it was for No More Heroes a game one of my friends suggested for me. I have a 360 and now I'm thinking of selling the Wii to save for a PS3. Part of me wants to keep it because of No More Heroes 2 but is there anything else I could get to make it fun or should I just sell it to get the PS3?
//Note: I had all the Nintendo Exclusives(Super mario galaxy, Super paper mario, Brawl, etc) but they got boring and fast.//
