Sold my Wii...not bashing...hear me out.

I know people may think I'm bashing, but I just wanted to share my experience with the Wii, from getting it, to playing, to finally selling. I had the Wii a few weeks after Launch, and since then I have only purchased the following:4 Wii motes
Super Smash Bros
Twilight Princess
Wii Play
Super Mario Galaxy

Mind you this is all from late 2006. So here we are, almost 2 years later, and I only purchased 4 games. And I must say, the lineup of games coming just seems like old hat.

On to the online portion...Friend Codes? I mean, i guess they help little kids from getting stalked or whatever. But the point is, the parents really should be controlling how their children access their wireless router, but I won't get into this topic, let's just say that friend codes are pretty weak.I was able to sell the whole bundle for about $350. They are still relatively in demand, so it wasn't hard to sell.Have I sworn off of Nintendo? No way. I still have faith...just not in this console. Now with WiiHD (or whatever it's called,) coming out, will Nintendo change their direction of titles? Meaning, can we expect to see such titles as Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Final Fantasy and other A calibur 3rd party games? Or are we doomed to more Mario games?Please, again, I am not bashing nintendo, the console wasn't for me, and didn't meet my needs. I had fun with Wii Sports like everyone else...but after that I was wanting something more.Sold my Wii...not bashing...hear me out.
I'm sorry about your current financial problems, it seems to be more and more of a concern these days.



Though you may not mean any harm, this may be better served in System Wars



I hope everything works out for you in your next endeavorSold my Wii...not bashing...hear me out.
You seem to have missed out on an awful lot of good games for Wii. I suppose it doesn't matter now, but please check out [URL=http://www.metacritic.com/games/wii/scores/]this list[/URL] to see everything you missed in the past and [URL=http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26410733]this[/URL] and [URL=http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26478407]this thread[/URL] to see what you'll soon miss.
Sorry that you weren't pleased, but you could've always bought stuff off the Wii Shop Channel, liiiiiiike... Super Mario RPG. Anywho, it was your choice, and if you want to wait for WiiHD to come out, that's fine.

I have had my fair share of experience with all three systems.XBOX 360...7 of them got the RROD...got rid of it.
Wii, kept it for close to 2 years...it was just a paper weight
Been on PS3 since June, so far so good.
Still have a DS...great handheldSo I'm not bashing...I've owned/own them all. Just stating that I gave the Wii two years, and still nothing. I'm just as nostalgic as the rest of you, but I can play ROMS if I want VC titles.

Let's hope the next Wii is geared more towards ''gamers,'' and not family gatherings and 5 year olds.[/QUOTE]You may have wanted to make this a blog or posted it somewhere else. You can't just say you're not bashing and then refer to the Wii as a paperweight that isn't for real gamers, and then mention that you're having more fun with the PS3. You're sounding borderline system wars to me. And that last sentence is almost trolling, imo.
Why do people find it necessary to tell everyone when they sell their wii? We honestly don't care.
It sounds like you just don't like what the wii has to offer. Fair enough. Not everyone is going to enjoy the experiece that the wii brings. From your old wii library it sounds like you prefer to stick with the standard stuff rather than try out new things anyway. If thats true then yeah, xbox360 or ps3 would suit your needs better.
MadWorld, Sin %26 Punishment 2, Punch-Out, Tales of Symphonia 2 and the next Tales of, Fragile, Little King Story, Muramasa, The Conduit, Kizuna, Arc Rise Fantasia, are not enough for you? I think you'll have to rebuy a Wii in 2009.
Eh... To each their own... i love the Wii; I have enough games coming up in the next year or two that will keep the wii entertaining for me. However, if I had my way I would try to own 1 more current gen console;this would just allow for even more options over multiple genres.

The reasons he cited are some of the problems that are afflicting the Wii at the moment and his feelings and actions are far from uncommon; I see comments just like this all the time on kijiji. It's true that posting about it on forums isn't going to fix it, but at least we'll have something to do while waiting for more games. :P
wow, you failed miserably TC.
I really am clueless as to why we get the play by play for everyones decisions. Hey guys guess what I wore a blue shirt today instead of a white shirt, I think I'll make a topic about it.

[/QUOTE]Wow, that's it? You didn't even TRY to enjoy your Wii, did you?
Whether or not you think you're bashing, this is pretty much a classic System Wars thread, especially given the fact that you referred to the Wii as a ''paper weight'' for ''family gatherings and 5 year olds''. Please take it there.
