Has anyone actually kept their Wii that has bought one?

[hailmagus]

I'm only asking because my folks just gave me theirs for my birthday after having it for like three months. And I've only known of two situations where people have gotten rid of theirs. My folks, and some old room-mates, which in-turn got their second modded Xbox.

It was really cool to be able to go to my folks house and hear them say something along the lines of, "hey, let's play something..." after years of them giving me shit about playing games.

I do have some beef with Nintendo right now, as far as... idk them putting out some fucking video games. They seemed more concerned with pumping out the peripherals than actual titles. They're back catalog seems a little lack-luster, too. But I suppose I wanted to play more CG games than Wii. since a good majority of Dreamcast games were ported over to the GC.
SHIT I'VE BEEN DRAGGING ON

My fambily still has the Wii we bought... we just never, ever (ever) play on it. I tried, honest I did, but Red Steel was just SO bad I couldn't bear to continue.

Also, your avatar disturbs me greatly.

I have had mine for aaaaaaages

selling it on ebay soon to pay off my shiny new PS3 and GTX 260 graphics card xP

so no - I'm not keeping mine.

 

[Hot'n'steamy]

resold mine for a profit within the first 3 months. It got old. Fast.

 

[Amplify]

Got it the day it came out. Still have it and about 25 games.


That's not stopping it from dust colecting though. (Not really the wii's fault, in recent years games just keep getting added to my "to do" list and never escape that list.)

Wow another person aside from my mum who says fambily! We still have our wii and I occasionally play Guitar Hero on it with mates butt hat's about it.

And yes, that avatar is rather disturbing.

 

[chimmers]

Still got mine, middle of a mini revival due to having cash for games

 

[Gormers1]

Yes (I have). How else am I going to play super smash brawl with friends and other original and wii exclusive games?

 

[ohellynot]

I swaped it for an N64 a whole bunch of games and controllers and 90 quid.
Never been happier, actually I would have been happier if it was the pikachu N64 but enough of my mental problems
EDIT.
Oh shit what is with that avatar, I yake it back I don't have mental problems, you do

It's not like it's me or anything. Just some fat guy playing with has boobs.

I've kept my wii since the release date, but recently it's been just gathering dust in the corner of my room for like 3 months...

kinda makes me wonder what i saw in Nintendo 2 years ago before all this "new way to play" tripe with the old gamecube games.

We gathered that, also it doesn't make it acceptable or OK just because it isn't you

 

[quack35]

I still own my Wii. I usually use it to play Brawl with friends.

 

[Splitter]

everyone I know that has one is either playing through the few hardcore games on it in alternation with another console/pc or still thinks that playing wii sports drunk is fun after the first time.

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

I had mine from uk launch to June '08. Nearly 2 years. It's not a bad console, I just got bored with the constant waiting and traded it in for a 360. I like my 360 much more. More games than just first party fanservice and third party shovelware.

 

[Stegofreak]

Still have mine and play it from time to time. Mostly SSBB and MadWorld. My sis let one of her friends borrow most of my games so I don't even know what I have.

 

[sky14kemea]

we traded ours for an Xbox 360 =D

it wasnt my decision, i miss resident evil: umbrella chronicles but hey, now i have rockband, so all is good

 

[gibboss28]

i've still got mine, its not gathering dust either.
