Is everyone happy with their Wii? - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum - Page 4

I am new here and thought I'd start with a question..... (okay statement then question) I have used this place lots in the last couple of years since I have bought my Wii, it's been good for game info and so on. Now I'd like to know just how happy everyone is with their wii? I am beginning to doubt that it's going to remain the main console in my home much longer as the wait for good games proves ever fruitless (NOT GOOD MINIGAME GAMES there are plenty of those). I have enjoyed a lot of the new games and especially the new controls adding life to gaming. My first console was a SEGA Master System, then NES, a bit of a lull as I realised there was a real world out there, then Ps1, n64, xbox and now wii as I realise the real world isnt always that great ;} I remember when I was real young and my old man bringing home his mates Atari for the weekend and spending hours on games like H.E.R.O. and of course Space Invaders, Pitfall and so on. I am finding now that the novelty of controls wears off, that there's not a lot of substance in the games that are being made for wii. And to add to that there is a shift towards "re-newing" old games. An example is the upcoming Metroid series - looks good except they are the main games I've been playing since buying my wii. I am not going out to buy games for a new control system. A lot of anti-wii has been stirred by the decision a little while back to stop Fatal Frame 4 coming out of Japan. If Nintendo want to keep games aimed at the 5-10 year old bracket and the casual gamer then they are going to squeeze their own way out of our place. With two teenage boys, one not far off and myself being the main gamers at home the wii has lost it's shine and the xbox is currently muscling it's way back in. Until I can afford a new console the Wii remains shadowed by a big black box. That's another thing; talking of affording things. The Wii was cheap to buy, BUT THEN another remote, two nunchuks, classic controller (Which is hardly used in favour of GC controller), 2 gamecube controllers, SD card, Gamecube memory card, usb wi-fi connector (lasted 6 mths before frying) wireless internet router (wasn't buying another usb connector) second sensor bar (first one died), new dvd drive after 14 mths (According to Nintendo it had something in the drive "not manufactured" but they wouldn't say what, yet my xbox is now 10 years old and still chugging along - not to mention the 3 working ps1 consoles I still have), Third remote, Charging stations for remotes (In case you haven't noticed these remotes chew some power) 2 gun zappers, 3 steering wheels (one did come with Mario Kart), NOW Extra sensor needed to play the likes of Wiii Sports Resort and (of course) future titles, so that's 3 of those I'll need. So that's nearly a PS3 I'd reckon.....an Xbox 360 well set up. DAMN these sneaky guys at Nintendo by the time I realised what was going on I'm left with a pretty empty and disappointed feeling. I'd love to hear what others think, and if your experience has been a happy one or a bit of a bummer.

I got mine on launch day and I've been thrilled with mine. It has 100% lived up to my expectations.

I like it so much I have two! Seriously, the library is pretty large; I'm still buying games that are over a year old which I ignored upon first release.

Absolutely no regrets; even about having four Wiimotes since it helps spread out battery wear and the fact that I have two Wiis means I have two remotes each!
