35 reasons that the Wii isn't just for little kids, bratty teens or the elderly
zakurowrath:
It's actually not the Wii's fault, it's the perception of Nintendo over the years. I mean when you think Nintendo you think of Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, Yoshi, etc which are cute characters, and it's the systems most kids grow up with.
And also the Wii was marketed as a family system, everyone from little three year olds to great great grandma can easily play the system easily so the perception from these so called hardcore gamers, actually lets call them what they are FANBOYS, is oh the Wii, is an underpowered kiddy system. Remember fanboys are stupid and have nothing better to do than rant and think their opinion matters, which it doesn't.
Most gamers are between the ages of 18 and 35 and most own a Wii but in tern, almost everyone owns a Wii so it's an "Everyone" Family System which is fine Nintendo wanted that. As a gamer, of course I'll play it, I'll also play a 360 and a PS3, why because each system offers something unique.
And it's not this generation of consoles, lets go back a few, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn & PlayStation, oh you own a Nintendo 64, you must be alittle kid, well yea, I was only born in 1990 and all the stuff marketed toward me was mostly on a Nintendo system.
Just because the market for Nintendo is for kids growing up, doesn't make it a lesser console. Infact those kids are now grown up and are STILL playing Mario and Zelda and Kirby and Goldeneye and Super Smash Brothers.
Nintendo will always have a place in my heart, because it just has games that I grew up with, if I want something different, I'll play another system, simple as that. Besides, most gamers are kids at heart anyway :)

I guess I did say I only like about a dozen of those M-rated games. I just thought he was dissing the only 11 of those that I'm getting; which is why I jumped to conclusions, I guess. Yeah you are right about Nintendo's fame being in their own franchises, but it's nice to see 3rd party games take the spotlight every once in awhile.

owning all three systems i play my ps3 the least,basically got it for console exclusives.i love my wii and dont care if people call it a kiddy system.its true they get alot of the better m rated titles much later than the 360 /ps3 but it has plenty of original options, i guess it gets a bad rep because of all the "shovelware" games developers put out for it , but the virtual console was the best idea ever just wish nintendo released more games for it at a faster pace as this point there is no reason that almost full libraries of game consoles shouldnt be release.

Its funny. I own all 3 current gen systems and I think I played my Wii the least. I got it at launch. I just hate motion controls.

Same here...
PS3 = console exclusives only and maybe some misc games here and there for cheap
Wii = Also console exclusives but IMO it has a better selection and more franchises I enjoy
360 = Everything else...I play my Xbox the most of all 3 systems and any multi-plat game I'll get for xbox first.
But in terms of games...I have just as many Wii games as I do 360 games...with just a handful of ps3 games.
Anyway back on topic, I've played RE: Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles for just a bit to try and they were both a lot of fun. When I really get into it I'll play it with the Wii Zapper lol
