Yeah I sorta have to agree with ramirez in regards to Super Paper Mario, while it is a fun game and everything it really feels like a chore to play toward the end, I'm up to chapter 8 and that's where I've been since December...
Thing that pissed me off most is that optional flipside training tower thing, you get all the way to the end, then get killed by this uber powerful boss, then after getting through it all a third time and winning, you find out there's also a flopside version of the same place!

geh!

Mario Galaxy is money better spent, but don't expect it to be as replayable as Mario 64

I regret buying a buy. Not because it's not cool it's just............ not cool. I've Zelda, RE4, Okami and No More Heroes, will get Smash soon. And that's it! There are few titles I'm interested on right now, mainly Mad World and Sadness, lets see what happens.

I've never played a Paper Mario game, so I can't wait to see what it's like!  :woop:

PM1 and 2 were epic, SPM was crap. Sure it was HILARIOUS(lizard nerd, lol :p) but the gameplay is repetitive. Turn based RPG combat was not here and was always a series strong point in the first 2 as well as comedy so just avoid the wii one. If you are getting it, I won't stop you :/

idk if people are tired of me posting this but I had a wii for about a month last summer and I sold it. I really bought it on an IMPULSE, i was at Walmart buying jeans or someshit and they had a few in stock. WELP I had money sitting in the bank so I said "what the hell", partly because these things are apparently ridiculously hard to find most places and partly because it was a NEW system and I rarely buy new shit when it's still pretty new. I bought the Wii Zelda and Super Paper Mario.

Long story short, I barely played Zelda because I found the control scheme more annoying than REVOLUTIONARY as we were constantly being told it was. That and I found it a pretty dull outing with the same slow, dull dialogue. The dungeon design and everything was great as I've come to expect but I was still pretty bored with it! Super Paper Mario WAS very repetitive as ramirez said. I almost beat it but the cutscenes were often overlong and sometimes redundant and it sort of just dragged on! It wasn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, far from it, but I wasn't thrilled with it either. I think I spent most of my time playing the Virtual Console release of Ocarina of Time, which is definitely my favourite Zelda ever, despite the presence of generic Zelda dialogue. And owning a Wii to play OoT was hardly enough. I wasn't interested in more than one or two of the games on the horizon either, so I said fuck it and ebayed it to buy a new graphics card for my PC.

The Wii does have a fuckton of shovelware, and Nintendo really doesn't seem to care. There's always Nintendo's first party stuff to look forward to, but like every Nintendo console since the SNES, it's just not worth waiting in my book. It's a great party system or second console or something like that, but I guess I just want a system that gets those big ticket blockbusters and shit, like Fallout 3 or Metal Gear Solid with the WHOA GRAPHICS and NEXT GEN THIS AND THATS. The latest and greatest, you know, not just MARIO PARTY 9: NOW WITH MOTION CONTROL.

It's sort of funny because I am in no way a hardcore gamer and I pretty much suck at 95% of games I play, so I should be into a more casual system like the Wii, but I'm not!
WHY SO SERIOUS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

I kinda regret getting my Wii. Its mostly nice for some multiplayer games with friends and such...but I already have a few friends who have wiis anyway, I don't use mine very much.
As for virtual console, well, I own most of the old games worth playing anyway...
fuck it all, dd is dead

Haha yeah Super Paper Mario was definitely the worst of the 3 PM games. The first and second one were so excellent... about on par with each other in terms of quality. SPM is decently fun but there are parts that are seriously boring.

Prepare to do a lot of reading in Super Paper Mario, but if you can stick it through at least play on through to Chapter 7 which I think is one of the best if not THE best chapter in the game. (the ending to it is kind of sad too ;_;)

I used to regret buying Wii as well. There are only a few games that are really worth playing, and games like them come pretty rarely. Now I don't really regret buying it anymore, mostly because it's so cheap and I waste my money on even more pointless things, plus there's a couple of games out now that really save the system for me. Having all the next-gen systems, I definitely think that Wii is the worst one of them, in terms of technology as well as games. But hey, at least it's cheap (although you can get 360 for pretty cheap now as well). But in the end I guess it's all about what kind of games you want to play. I would never even consider buying games like Wii Fit.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!
