How many people on here have a wii?

Banjo · 12-29-2006, 05:53 PM

I have both PS3 and Wii. Not really a lot of time for gaming since I have a full-time job.

Not only to mention that I'm an avid movie collector.

I was dyeing for a Wii, but the impossobility of finding one, coupled with Zelda on gamecube, and seeing how few games are actually coming out, i have no more desire for one. January has a big whopping 1 title for the wii. I think the luster of the system has worn off a lot from all the early adopters who are hardcore gamers and are now looking elsewhere. Just my opinion.

Wii will never interest me! I heard and red about its capabilities and distinct functionalities but the Wii will never become part of my purchases anytime soon! Now I go to the gym to work out. I have weights at home too and I do cardio exercises as well.

BTBuck1 · 12-30-2006, 05:24 PM

Only two ways i'll buy a Wii. & Both ways have to happen

1) My Gamecube Dies

2) The price drops to $99 or less

Blubaru · 12-30-2006, 06:35 PM

I have one.

Blackraven · 12-31-2006, 01:46 PM

Release an ASIAN VERSION (220V) first.

No way I'm buying 110V Japan or US versions or European 220V PAL versions just yet.

Asian version games are always the cheapest (ie. PS3 and X360 games)

Nismobeach · 01-19-2007, 03:12 AM

I bought one on launch day. It's pretty neat, but I prefer my PS3 more. IMO the Wii doesn't really live up to the hype.

maRzMesT · 01-19-2007, 03:33 AM

i got one, and sold one on release for $1000 on ebay

theyre actually pretty fun and based for the entire family, along with ps3 its undeniably the best combo.. and who can ignore the upcoming titles like super smash bros and mario kart... they arent for everyone, especially the teenage-middle age gamer types, but for familys and teens who arent all about fps games theyre definitely worth it, if u can find one

jedivball · 01-19-2007, 02:49 PM

I don't have a Wii. I don't plan to get one until EB Games starts offering deals on trading in you Gamecube for a Wii AND my cost is around $150. Until then I will stick with my PS3 and 360.

phranctoast · 01-19-2007, 03:15 PM

my younger step brother has one. It seems cool for parties, but when hes alone he plays the ps2. Im kind of suprised the wii isnt getting an okami port. That game would utilize it more.

mikejet · 02-10-2010, 02:36 PM

I have one, honestly though I haven't used it for quite some time. I should pick up Super Mario though.

pokefan · 02-10-2010, 02:45 PM

I bought the wife one for christmas so she could use the wii fit. It's also good to play with the family especially with young ones. It doesn't get used near as much as the PS3 but I still enjoy it from time to time.

I like how they're advertised as cheap but by the time you get everything needed to actually play it seems like I could have bought another PS3!

Iron-Blu-123 · 02-10-2010, 02:59 PM

Don't have a wii , I like PS3 and Xbox 360 batter.

BTBuck1 · 02-10-2010, 03:35 PM

I bought the Wii for ONE GAME. Tatsunoko vs, Capcom. Excellent game with Excellent graphics. Now that I have the console, I've also picked up New Super Mario & really enjoyed that.

Aside from some random Fighting game from capcom that will never see the light of day on the HD consoles, I won't be buying any games OTHER than 1st party titles. ie, Super Mario-Mario Kart-Zelda etc.

I think if you stay 1st party with this system it can be a lot of Fun. Nintendo knows how to have a "good time" and make you feel like a kid again!

Mr. J · 02-10-2010, 03:50 PM

I bought a Wii for my 2 kids....How the hell do you turn the controllers off when you're not using them?

OrlandoEastwood · 02-23-2010, 05:17 PM

Have one, but I'm partial to my PS2. The Wii is fun, but tiring after 15 minutes. I'm starting to get fat on me, so, it's a good work out.

OG Pooh · 07-20-2010, 05:44 AM

Yup. I've got a Wii, a PS3 & a 360.

My favorite Wii game is The Sims Castaway. It's actually one of my favorite games this generation.

Rob71 · 09-01-2010, 02:48 AM

I've held out long enough I believe. With the new Zelda, Metroid and Donkey Kong Country I think they finally hooked me. Plus looking at the other games I easily see 10-15 that really interest me. Maybe I should have taken the plunge sooner.

Suntory_Times · 09-01-2010, 04:45 AM

The wii is good, but I think the overall weakest console of this generation. However thanks to games like Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, I think it is well worth the money.

Can't you just change the language option in settings.
