I'm a bit of a Nintendo fanboy, as I am a Bioware fanboy. The Wii however is suffering from a lack of good games. The last game I bought for the Wii was SSBB, which was over 2 years ago. I'm waiting for a new Metroid game and the new Super Mario Galaxy 2, actual games, not the 90% shovel ware crap the Wii has now.
I'm not going to deny it. You are right that the wii's library has too many shit games and not enough good games, but you are obviously not looking hard enough.
No more Heroes
Okami
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
Red Steel
Red Steel 2
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Muramasa:The Demon Blade
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Tales of graces
Elebits
Rayman Raving Rabids
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
A Boy and His Blob
Madworld
Klonoa
Huh...I could have s
Yes, I have most of those, but what I mean is, considering how long the Wii has been out, there is a very poor selection of good games in terms of numbers.
It's good enough for me, and better than what the other two consoles have to offer that I can see (By better, I obviously mean "I looked at the games and found the Wii's ones the most interesting")
There's also:
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Super Paper Mario (well, I liked it!)
Mario Kart Wii
Lostwinds
Every Gamecube game ever made
A good selection of games from NES, SNES and N64, as well as other old non-Nintendo consoles that I can't name off the top of my head
And almost certainly others that I can't think of right now, but I haven't yet woken up completely.
What's most important to understand the "Wii fanboy" (defined here as "someone who, given the choice, would pick a Wii over any of the other consoles), at least those like me, is that first of all we look at the actual game selection. We dismiss the shovelware as beneath our notice, as it should be because, let's face it, the existence of shovelware doesn't preclude the existence of gems. The second point is that, upon comparing those games
which we would actually buy given the chance, we find the Wii to be preferable. Obviously, given that it's a Nintendo console, being a fan of the major Nintendo franchises (the production of which, incidentally, has not slowed down in the slightest despite ubiquitous cries of abandonment) is a big help.
There's obviously going to be the deluded fanboys amongst them who swear that the Wii has better graphics than the PS3 (I knew someone who attested just this fact), but that's hardly any different from the rabid fanboys of any other console. It's basically just like the other two in terms of who would buy it, really: People who look at the game selection and are pleased.
Of course, there's people who will stick their fingers in their ears and deny that shovelware exists on the Wii, but they're far outnumbered in my experience by the people who stick fingers in their ears and deny that the Wii is a games console.
OP: There you are. An explanation for why people would prefer the Wii over the other consoles. That is to say,
because they like the games better. I hope this isn't too alien a concept for the more hardcore among us.
