I used to support the Wii, but my faith in Nintendo dwindled after I got a PS3 and learned what real next-gen gaming is. I used to own a decent amount of Wii games, now I am down to 3 and don't plan on getting anymore. Why the sudden shift in perspective you might ask, a question I will gladly answer.

The Wii is a toy, plain and simple. The name says it all (and leads to more bad puns and innuendos than any other console name in history). The word is only used by little kids or when talking to them (and sometimes by the Irish and Scottish). "He made a wee on carpet," or "I gotta go wee-wee,"are two phrases that come to mind outside the shout, "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The game line-up sickens me. Name 3 games that are 1-Not an old Nintendo franchise built upon 20 year old characters, 2-Not a minigame collection or rail shooter or 3-Not from Sega. I can't think of that many, I really can only think of the lackluster verison of Star Wars: Force Unleashed. Besides Sonic titles, the only 2 other non-mingame collection or rail shooters are No More Heroes and Madworld (both made by Sega).

Another hit to the morale of US Nintendo fans is that the game Fatal Frame is not being released outside Japan. Nintendo denies one of the few mature titles left unreleased for the Wii. Reasoning is probably that they don't want to scare the little children, though they will probably say different.

I bought a Wii for Smash Bros just likeI bought a GC for Smash Bros. I will probably end up buying the next Nintendo console just for Smash Bros.Brawl is worth the $300 total I spent on it and the system, considering I haveplenty more than300 hours spent playing it. It is just sad that (unlike the GC) there really isn't anything else for it worth a darn.

I am still waiting for a Star Fox game on the Wii. Should be good as long as they don't butcher it by implementing too much motion control gimmicks, letting Fox run around on foot when he should be flying an Arwing, or but by making it stupid easy when all the ones I have played are difficult.
