The wii hasn't lived up to it's potential. I would give it time, maybe midway through next year before you'll a steady flow of quality games.

I think as a rule of thumb, the majority of currenlty available Wii games are crap... but they are coming. AFAIK all games developers were looking at the Wii and not knowing what to make of it, and probably thought the nobody else would get it, and it wouldn't sell. What the Wii has done in sales is nothing short of mind-blowing. It hasn't even been out a year yet! And there still people in the world that are waiting for there Wii's because they're still not in the shops.

Now that's it's sold as it has, virtually every developer has taken notice, and if they haven't got something in the pipline to come out for the Wii, they will.

It takes time to get games done, and my prediction for next year is that we'll all be broke, due to the amount of quality games that will be available.

When you look at the Wii games that have been released so far, the ratio of good games to bad is pretty big, most of them are crap.

But look at what the Wii is, and what they're aiming for. It's a console developed in such a way to be appealing to people of all tastes, all ages, casual gamers, and long time gamers. A Jack of all trades, if you will. To do this obviously there are going to be a great number of games that don't appeal to everyone.

I am pretty happy with the games I have so far, not stoked, but happy. I have a ds aswell so I'm kept busy. But if you're looking at the Wii to give you a 'hardcore' gamers fix all by itself, you'll be waiting a while.

Now, that's just the Wii at the moment. I like the games that I'm seeing in the to-be-released section. And as Stuzz78 said, developers have been taked by surprise by the Wii's popularity. You see it in the news all the time 'developer jumping on board to develop new games for the Wii, wasn't expecting it's success'. There are labels popping up that will be designing games specifically for the Wii.

There's also WiiWare, which probably won't be anything mind blowing, but it has great potential. And who knows, if a little game turns out to be popular on WiiWare, it may turn into something huge, a new franchise giving a small developing company the start they need.

I suppose the big word with the Wii is 'potential'. It has a lot, if they start making games that take advantage of it we'll all be happy, if.

There are only 2 Wii games i consider "GREAT" so far - Zelda TP and RE4. The rest are either good or average.

However, the bottom line is, I enjoy Wii games. That's all that matters really.

Yep, I'm the same. I'm happy with what I have. I'm kept amused pretty easily and don't play countless hours a day like some people. I mean, I still have fun with Wii sports!

I just think that there's still a lot that the Wii has to offer. I think everyone will be happy with what their Wii has to offer in the future, even you desi

i'm with you there Omi (hear that, desi?)

the Wii only costs around $388, and the games are generally cheaper than those for the other consoles - it represents real value because you can get enjoyment out of the console and it won't cost you a month's salary. i never expected the Wii to be the answer to all my gaming needs, and i'm ok with that.

Thanks for all your opinions. You have all made some points. Some of which I agree with, some I disagree or would like to respond to.

1. Why am I here if I don't love Wii?
Well I like what the Wii could be. Just like Omi and many of you have said. This console has a lot of potential.
I own a wii.
This site is called mywii, not OnlyThoseWhoLoveWii.

2. Its a budget console and wii games are cheaper.
I don't know where you are from Hainaku but wii games are most certainly not cheaper where I am. (brisbane australia). I find myself looking at the shelf of wii games in a store, shocked that they are selling a ported title for as much as a new release title off another console. Either that, or a multiconsole title where the Wii version is MORE than the rivals. (sorry I don't have title examples but thats what i've observed)

3. The good games will come.
Yeah I hope so too but when? This relates back to the point about potential. I've been waiting for boogie. That had so much 'potential' but its scored very low and the motion sensing has been noted as very rough.

4. Its not for hardcore gamers.
Is that a nice way of saying that the games will be over simplified? I guess in the past I did play a lot more than what would be a 'casual' gamer. But I still wouldn't call myself a hardcore gamer. When I think hardcore I think of strategy,stealth, black ops, or role playing games where you have to do a lot of thinkin

4... continued

I prefer fast action, less thinking, instant gratification.
I think that almost defines a casual gamer. But like someone said... yeah just not warming to the titles.

Hopefully I don't offend too many ppl by saying this but MP3 looks like it might be really good for a wii game. ...yeah for a wii game.

5. There were a couple saying this debate is pointless or I should just get over it and play xbox
Well maybe I should. But I think a lot of people have contributed their ideas and thats good. Thats what this forum is for.

Ok ill stop my rant for now. I'm just saying I want more.
Thanks all.

Those whole think it's "kiddy":

The Wii has Resident Evil 4, soon to have Umbrella Chronicals, and Manhunt 2 (A game that was originally rated AO).
The Wii is too "kiddy"?
Please.

Besides, the system hasn't even been out for a year, of course there aren't a whole lot of good games out.

telljoolz, wii games are "generally" cheaper. yes, you still have those which are worth 99.95, but many wii games are priced at 89 or lower. i think warioware was 79 when it was released. i got RE4 brand new at the shops for 69 when it was released. maybe i'm wrong, but it just seems more affordable.

also remember, that many kids today have never played the old titles, especially those who are just getting into gaming now. for a lot of people, the Wii is their first console, so these classic titles are new to them.

the statement that the wii games are crap is a very thoughtless remark i believe..there has never been anything like the wii on the market..the way games will change for ever is still mind blowing....when you take in to consideration the price difference between competitors consoles and the wii......the stupid smiles that people have doing something as base as sawing logs in the mario party 8 gleefuly mind you. and how after months of owning one i still am entranced by what it can do. i think people are missing the basic fundamental joy and fun the wii and its games are...
