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
