Poll: My Wii

[Adragon45]

I don't know why, but lately, My Wii has just been sitting around. It's weird, every time I think about using it, Something inside me just talks me out of it. Is the Wii just boring?

It was a gimmick. You have seen through it. Congratulations!

EDIT:Oh, and welcome to the Escapist!

 

[Hazy]

You've been playing the wrong games.

I like the Wii. It's a fun outlet to play a game with friends that doesn't require much skill and is fun to play. I only use it for parties, but its still fun. Games like Rock Band, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., and Mario party are all things that I play with multiple people, and I love it. The only single player I play is really Fire Emblem, the Metroid Prime series, and Zelda games.

Ya, the Wii has fallen. I'm now an Microsoft ***** because Nintendo is hanging with a new crowd.

The only thing that keeps me going back to mine is Guitar Hero.
That and the occasional Wii Sports round when I want to get rid of energy without leaving my nice comfy house.

I do exactly the same as OP. As for xxhazyshadowsxx, I have Madworld and find it too grindy and repetitive.

I think of playing the Wii and I just can't be bothered most of the time. I honestly play games more often on my phone, SNES and PSone than my Wii.

Until No More Heroes 2 comes out, anyway.

The Wii's fine for some things. Honestly I've been playing my Sega Genesis/Megadrive more than it, go Shining Force 2

I LOVED the Wii.
I defended it when people called it a gimmick.
I told them about WiiWare and the potential of it providing a platform for underfunded developers.
I reminded them that the graphics WERE'NT bad as long as developers gave a shit.
I gave examples of how it could be used for traditional games e.g. FPS, Adventure, RPG...
I always have fun at partys with it.
I. I. Why did I sell mine again..?

And yet you still have a Nintendo character as your avy....

I still play my Wii nearly every day. In fact, I'm anxiously waiting for WiiSports Resort to be released. Only 4 agonizingly long days left!

Correction. I have a character who was in a game that was on a Nintendo console when Nintendo was still hannging with me. Also The Black Knight hardly counts as a Nintendo Character.

No, he, along with the rest of the Fire Emblem property, are definitely characters from the Nintendo universe. There's no "hardly" when it comes to owning intellectual properties.

Call me extremely girly, but if I want a FPS or a RTS game, I usually head to my PC. The Wii is my "relaxing buddy" as well as my door into little problem-solving challenges.

So I guess I can go up to anyone who knows about Nintendo and they will know everything about the Black Knight because he's in a game owned by Nintendo. Look it doesn't matter if I like Nintendo or not, I like Fire Emblem. It just so happens that it is owned by a company that has lost my faith. And like before, I said he is from a time when I did like Nintendo.
