It seems that the Wii has lost a lot of popularity over the years, as well as good ratings and good games that are forcing some of us to purchase new systems and leave our Wii's to...well...get dusty. So I ask: What was your original reason to buy it?

Mine? Eh...I got it for Christmas.

As a gift for my girlfriend to try and get her a little more into gaming. I've had some decent fun with a few titles (boom blox, the mario games) but for the most part it's a dust collector.

I got mine for Christmas, but I actually wanted it for the few months that it was out before then. I've always been a fan of Nintendo (and multiple other developers), and that's not about to change.

I had other Nintendo consoles, and I love the Mario, Zelda and Metroid games. I go with Nintendo because you are almost guaranteed to get a quality product at some point, and you don't usually need to think about buying a Zelda or Metroid game, you just buy it (not so much Mario though, as Mario games have decreased in quality generally (excluding Mario Galaxy)).

I also love the IR for shooting games.

I got it for the exclusives e.g. Nintendo Classics, Zelda, Metroid etc.

It is a good console people, Nintendo have just ruined it by allowing all that bullshit shovel ware on it and being overly "casual". If you stick to the non Mario exclusives it's all good.

For LoZ, though since my wii mote is a bit shaky anymore I usually play gamecube games and stuff of the virtual console.

I still play it from time to time, especially on multiplayer. Super Smash brothers and Mario Kart are as fun as ever.

Although it's sort of a strike against it that I play my N64 more than I do the Wii.
But you're a recovering Ocarina of Time Addict..

We got it for Christmas, despite my protestations. My little brother wanted Brawl.

Honestly, the Gamecube is still the right console for me.

The only reason for getting a Wii would be because of the controlling system, and I just don't find it accurate enough to be great.

Never had a console anyways. PS 3 is the only somewhat tempting at the moment, if I ever get a console.

My reasons? Well, I dunno, always had Nintendo's but didn't know the Wii would have such a serious lack of good games in the future.

Though Metroid Prime 3 was pretty darn good...
