Regret getting the Wii?

[Lord Helmet]

I don't regret getting my Wii. I have fun every time I turn it on. I just wish there were more games. That's what I get for getting a system at launch though.

 

I waited a year to get the 360. That was a good decision because by the time I picked it up, there were a ton of good games.

I don't regret it either. I am a little disappointed at some of the offerings during the first quarter but I am excited for what the end of the summer will bring.

 

I've heard a lot of people say lately that the Wii is just another kiddie system but you'll realize that it's pure FUD when you take a look at Manhunt 2 and No More Heroes, among some of the other M rated games the system already has.

When you own a Nuon and a CDi, it's hard to regret picking up any other console.

 

Seriously, if only for my kids getting lots out of Wii sports on rainy days or as a treat, it's probably worth it (at least for me) if I never buy another game for the system.

 

Which, actually, might turn into something of a problem for Nintendo, as well as Ubisoft, Majesco and any other publishers jumping in with both feet.

I waited until last month to get a Wii (and, they were impossible to find). I wanted to hold out until fall, but my 2 sons REALLY wanted one, so I did. Since it is still pretty new to us, I don't regret it at all, Sports is awesome to me -- the control really works, much better than I'd hoped! The kids are playing Super Paper Mario which is really cool too, the 2D-to-3D mechanism is neat, as is the way you shine your Wiimote as a spotlight on the screen.

 

The shear ... "joy" if you call it that, of playing tennis or golf or boxing is so cool! Everytime someone comes over, I am hooking it up in the main TV room.

 

After we digest these games, I'm getting Sonic and also Excite Truck, and I plan on renting Tony Hawk and some others over the summer. We'll be happy until the real big guns start coming out -- Smash bros, Mario Galaxy, etc. Anyway, buying a system at launch is always a gamble -- more expensive, and you must wait for the games you really want. So I stopped buying at launch after the Dreamcast, which was the last great launch IMHO. I can understand you launch Wii players getting ants in yer pants, but just play your older systems in the meantime.

lol. I guess if you look at it like that then I made a wise choice.

[shep]

Regret owning yet another console? Never.

 

 

Aside from that, nope, I'm a very balanced gamer and appreciate all but sports titles so I've found lots of love on my Wii...and I may make my modern gaming side more complete by owning a 360 as well. But I'm not regretting the Wii at all.

If I could only get one system and I chose the Wii, I would regret it.

 

The only reason I got a Wii was for Zelda which made it all worth it no matter what.

 

However, if I had nothing to look forward to but Super Smash Bros. 57 and yet another Mario platformer I would

be sad.

 

While I am playing Mario 3 zillion, I could be playing Assassin's Creed, BioShock, Halo 3, etc.

 

(Not that I don't want to play Mario 3 Zillion, but I would be sad if I couldn't play the other games that are coming.)

 

I mean has anyone SEEN BioShock. Holy crap does it look freakin' amazing...

(And Assassin's Creed makes me pee my pants a little with excitement.)

[Atari Master]

Yeah, but Bioshock is another FPS to me.

 

The Wii will get some games, no worries. It already has a few interesting titles in the works.
