Yeah, if I would have known then what I know now, I would not have gotten the console. Shoot I would have waited a bit longer to get a PS3 as well.

Nintendo released a subpar console under the guise of innovation and originality. The fact is a lot of us fell for it. I have the Wii collecting dust in my living room, although for the next few weeks I will actively blame GTA IV for it. Aside from the DBZ games, Trauma Center and SSBB, nothing on the Wii has caught my attention except for Fit.

Thank for writing this. More people need to realize that Nintendo has sold out, and is screwing their faithful userbase while trying to capture casuals who will stop playing the Wii a month after buying it. Sadly, Nintendo keeps relying on gimmicks, rehashing ideas they originally created on the NES 20 years ago, and creating fake software shortages (& hardware through diverting USA shipments to EU & JA even though the latter have enough supply). Let’s not even get started with rehashing the same sequels for 20 years instead of providing any new IPs that appeal beyond the casual gamer. Luckily, I saw this before purchasing a Wii, even though I was a hardcore Nintendo faithful for every console they released before it, for 25 years. So I did not waste my money on that pos.

@ Orakga - LOL

Truth is I grew up on Nintendo, NES and SNES. So I ran out ot buy the Wii because of the kool new controls, etc. After playing with Wii Sports for a while it just lost the appeal for me, few games really utilize the motion controls and the Wii is geting more gimmicky, Wii FIt, etc.

The thing with the demos is that it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have demos of games that have started to lose support at retail. You need to focus your demos on games that are prominent at retail. I think it only makes sense to cycle through them.

“If you don’t like it (Wii), don’t buy it. It’s that simple.”

Except… how are you supposed to know that BEFORE you buy it? Here is what you should have said instead:

“If you don’t like it (Wii), eBay it. It’s that simple.”

@ binge - I see we have an internet tough guy here, man am I scared. Dude I put out my opinion, if you disagree that is up to you. Why are you so protective of NIntendo, do I smell fanboy? Someone can say something about any system and I wouldnt care eithr way, I state my opinion on the Wii and get labeled a heretic, hilarious.

@ the won - i can accept your points on the demo, but as fo my skills on Brawl I have to differ, that has nothing to do with it at all, the game just isnt fun playing single player and I dont like the online and dont have buddies over enough to play it, so for me it ccollects dust.

I wish I had a gaming blog. So every week I can write a topic on how Nintendo is ruining the world. His copy of Brawl is dusty. I’m sorry you don’t have the basic skills of a gamer who plays fighters. Since Brawl, Mario Kart, Okami, Bloom Blox and WiiWare has come out. All with in a months time. So there are games to play on the Wii that are good and fun. Once Nintendo starts “Charging for their Online!” Then I will start demanding X-BoxLive Quality. Now for the Demo thing. Why keep a demo of a game that’s been out for months. When you can just have new release games on there instead. That seems like common sense to me. If you didn’t like the demo of the game when you first saw it. You probably will not get the game. How’s having the demo on there long after the fact going to change your mind. Oh I thought the demo sucked, but now 5 months later. I played it and realize I was wrong. For real what kind of sense that makes. Nintendo is just one of the many things we love to hate. Just like the NY Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, LA Lakers Etc etc. When they are on top we have a problem with it. When the are on the bottom. We like to point and laugh at them. Regardless Nintendo is always on every one’s mind.

Complaining about the Wii not having an online system comparable to PSN or XBOX Live is a waste of time. If you don’t like it (Wii), don’t buy it. It’s that simple. Nintendo isn’t going to change for one ignorant little b*tch such as the author. And people like me don’t give a f*ck what people like this author think about Nintendo because people like me are on the same page as Nintendo. What’s that page you ask? It’s the f*ck-what-pathetic-blogging-douchebags-write-about-Nintendo page.

Al Zamora needs to get the f*ck off Nintendo’s back already. Bashing Nintendo is now considered to be a past time for lazy and uncreative author’s. Al Zamora is definately both.
