Not really and it doesn't seem like anything worthwhile is coming out. This is the reason why I sold my wii almost a year ago.

Nintendo needs to pull their head out of their ass and drop the casual bullshit.
Sadly, too many idiots bought into the gimmick. I'm sure you all already know this though.

i'm glad i got my wii, it was pretty cheap and i needed something to play my GC games on. but they need to fucking make something worth playing, they released all their good games at the start.

agree. everything thats come out in the last 2 months is utter shit.
Good games were twilight princess (probably best game on wii) metroid prime 3 was pretty fun. Mario galaxy was decent, wasnt too big on that though. and resident evil. Skate it doesnt seem bad but just stupid. The balance board is used to turn and thats it.
Everything else pretty much sucks, alot, and nintendo does need to pull their head out of their asse and stop making fucking reality games. Since when are video games supposed to be THAT FUCKING REAL?! I ply video games to escape reality for a few hours. I dont need to buy a game to loose weight, i can go to the gym for that.

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle
Mad World
House of the Dead: Overkill
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Punch-Out!
Deadly Creatures
Sin and Punishment 2
Monster Hunter 3
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse
The Conduit
Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
What a great list too, because it's not just a bunch of shooters, in fact every last one of those games is quite different from the other and they're all Wii exclusives. Also, those are only games I'm personally interested in, there's a few more than don't strike my fancy. The Wii definitely had an incredibly poor second half of 08, but there's a lot of good stuff just on the horizon, and to claim there isn't is just retarded. If you can't find at least a couple games to be excited about in that list, then you're just not a gamer.

Sadness and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. look pretty sweet too
but nothing good is coming out for awhile or has for awhile, so i need some virtual console suggestions :)

Sadness is probably vaporware and Project Hammer was cancelled :(.
As for a Virtual Console game, I'd go with Sin and Punishment, Super Mario RPG, Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, or Super Mario Bros. 3.

So, is there a reason they haven't made a game for the Wii, in which there are realistic physics, and the rotation/position of your controller ALWAYS represents the EXACT rotation/position of a sword you're holding? Because if they did that it would be awesome just to hit things around.
From what I've heard it's mostly gesture based and there isn't that kind of precision though.

tbh im going to say their all crap on the off chance u just copy pasted them from an upcoming list without giving much thought to whether they suck or not.
for example i had a quick look at Muramasa: The Demon Blade which looks like something from the snes era.

Nope, I wrote them all out by hand, because they're all games I'm interested in. I'm sure a couple might not live up to my expectations, but I know most of them will.
And Muramasa looks fucking awesome. It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen, from the creators of Odin Sphere, and I have very high hopes for it. It looks like something from the SNES era? Because it's 2D? Honestly, I feel sorry for someone who would write off good games just because they're 2D.

They are releasing a new wii-mote that does that. Has exact duplication of your movements. Of course one of the first games for it will be a fencing game.

I think it's still in development, or at least I heard rumors about it. Also, I can't fucking wait for Madworld. No more heroes 2 better have better vehicular control.

I own a PS3 and a Wii, myself; while I play my PS3 more, I treat both consoles equally.
it's funny that between the most powerful console and the least powerful console, which one sells the most and which one sells the least. the wii has really gone to show alot. I mean, sure...it's heavily aimed toward children, but you have to admit...Nintendo's first party games are pure gold and make the console worth the investment, and the waits.
I mean, look at 360...it's recently gained some acceptance in japan by winning over some (rather shitty) JRPGs; now who do they have left? children...their technique? Madagascar 2: The video game. this is a 3rd party title, that's really not that exciting to begin with. the Wii is a tremondous success, thanks to children. but it's fun for all ages. it hits every demographic. I'm sorry; I'll play Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, this and that...but I'm just not hyped for Madagascar 2. especially not enough to spend over $300 so some damn kid could play it. and if I was, I'd probably just get it for the Wii. what does this go to show? it's not the console. it's the games.
if you want an endless wave of new and promising games this console genoration, you'll want not only a Wii, but a PS3 or 360 to accompny it. that's just how it is. but when Mad World and Sadness (which IS still in the works, by the way) come out, you know damn well I'm dusting off my Wii.

I have been thinking of buying a Nintendo Wii purely for the Clone Wars game. It would be so fucking sweet to dual with a lightsabre!
Other than that, I am worried that I'll be stuck with a bunch of weird Nintendo games. I have never been a fan of Nintendo consoles since the Gameboy. Gay-looking Jap graphics and annoying sound effects that stick in your mind for 17 years!
Not saying it's a shitty console. Far from it. Just the games and life-help software annoy me.

I don't recall hyping Sadness.
I said it had potential, but it's always been from an untested developer who's never really made anything of note before. Sometimes that's a recipe for win (anyone play any Valve games before Half-Life?) but most of the time it's not.

Can't you just admit that I'm right? I'm right. That's final. Mean Laura Croft isn't even that deep of a character, just some dumb slut with guns. But you're like OMG SHE'S AWESOME CUZ SHES IN SADNESS. You know what? JUST SHUT UP. THAT'S FINAL.

What am I doing right now? I'm unemployed, broke, live at home, my girlfriend of 3 years just dumped me, and despite all that I'm having a wonderful time being alive and I'm enjoying the life I'm living, which consists of playing videogames, jerking off, and having absolutely no obligations to anyone or anything. I tried having a different life, I tried having a job, I tried going to school, tried being social and having a girlfriend, and I've realized that I'm just happier alone doing what I want than being around people. Some people think I'm a loser, some people envy my life of freedom and emptiness, but I don't care either way, I'm just happy with who I am.
What I find funny is that I've somehow affected you to the point that you were willing to crawl through my rather large post history to presumably try and find something that would prove I was a huge Sadness fan to make me look foolish, but instead you found a post I made while inebriated and depressed and decided to bring my personal life into a discussion about a fucking video game because you couldn't find what you were looking for.
So excuse me if I find it hard to believe that you're Mr. Bigshot, rich out of his mind driving a Porsche around town all day, because I just can't imagine such a person spending his time digging through the post history of some random no one on a forum he trolls poorly on the internet.

Ah jeeze... I'm sorry...
I was looking for the Sadness thread I remembered, and upon finding it I saw that you weren't really 'hyping' it per say. I noticed that thread, and I was genuinely curious as to how things went... and instead of coming outright and asking I posed it in sort of a mocking manner.
I think I'm just as broke/down on my luck as you... since I'm nearly in the same situation. Consider yourself lucky to even have had a gf -_- it's more than I can brag. I highly doubt I will ever have a sports car... hell I don't think I have enough pennies to chuck at you.
