Yes, there are a few hardcore games for the Wii, and some I do play, but as a owner of a wii since launch day, I have felt that I have been disappointed, as a gamer, and as a Nintendo customer. The Wii is innovative, and it is drawing in new gamers, but quite frankly, these new "gamers" aren't becoming more hardcore, but rather staying at casual levels. They rarely check the ratings and reviews of the games, and they are perpetuating a cycle of shovelware. Carnival Games? Wii Sports Resort? Ninjabreadman? I know I have had quite a bit of fun playing Wii Sports Bowling, and I know Mario Party is fun (with other people), but honestly the Wii isn't very much value for playing alone. I am usually alone, and I don't invite friends over, so I don't have much fun playing a lot of my Wii games. I don't mean to sound like a fanboy or anything, but I've got a lot more fun out of my PS3, plus it can actually do some stuff like play music. The Wii has only 512mb of memory, and although I have a 2gb SD card that I use with my Wii, theres not much you can do. The Wii lacks DVD playback too (as far as I know of, correct me if I am wrong), but the PS3 can do a lot more. Not speaking about graphics, but with the PS3, you can download demos and movies, but unless Nintendo releases a hard drive, I can say I won't have much use for my Wii except for when some little kids want to play.<br><br>Nintendo should have done the same as Microsoft and Sony, and they should have released two models, the current Wii, and maybe (I could be pushing it) a Hi-def Wii or a Wii with a hard drive. I feel the Wii is wasted potential, and if at least a few companies could make some good Wii games, then I'd be happy. I hope games like Mad World will hope to see the light of day, but the stupid watchdog groups want to stop it from coming out.<br><br>The game library of the Wii is terrible. There are only a few diamonds in the rough, and if this continues, then that sucks. The ignorant uninformed average Wii gamer buys rubbish games, and now we see that the Wii industry is dominated by crappy games that attract reckless buyers.<br><br>Take a look at this:<br><br><br><br>1: WII FIT<br>2: WALL-E<br>3: MARIO KART WII<br>4: GUITAR HERO: ON TOUR<br>5: LEGO INDIANA JONES: ORIGINAL ADVENTURES<br>6: WII PLAY<br>7: MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES<br>8: SUPER SMASH BROS: BRAWL<br>9: DR KAWASHIMA'S BRAIN TRAINING<br>10: BIG BEACH SPORTS <br><br>(the source is <a href="http://www.videogamer.com/news/29-07-2008-8937.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.videogamer.com/news/29-07-2008-8937.html</a> )<br><br>Most of these games are absolute shit.<br><br>I know many of you are like "Hurr hurr, this won't happen of the PS3 or 360". Probably true. But when the PS4 and the next Xbox come out, this cycle will repeat, and the same cycle of crappy games will continue during the hecktic upgrade cycle.<br><br>Of the hardcore games avaliable on the wii, some don't work correctly. Sure, this may should like a stupid generalization (like the myth Macs have only 1 button, pfft), but in all honestly, from a person who has owned the Wii from day 1, the Wii is by far a kiddy, soccermommy, granny console.<br><br>Sorry to disappoint. Bring on the low ranks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haikibutsu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 6:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sights and sounds of IFA 2008: look how far Wii've come]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</guid><description><![CDATA[im only ranking your low becuz ur sooo pessimistic :P]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KAIKAI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 8:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sights and sounds of IFA 2008: look how far Wii've come]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why?

I don't care about hardcore games on the Wii, I just want more innovative games. Dreamfall, Indigo Prophecy, Bloomblox, games like those. The Wii isn't meant for hardcore gamers, so I see it as the best platform for unique games (though it seems the 360 is proving to be that, with the XBLA and all). ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reader]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 9:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sights and sounds of IFA 2008: look how far Wii've come]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</guid><description><![CDATA[I own a Wii, too. and this is not my first time to blame it....<br>I want new games.<br>Please don't just give us repeating gamessssssss with just different characters.............!!!!!!!!<br>Angry. my Wii is dusted for months.<br>The problem is, even for party gaming, it bores us already.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[霽月瀛台]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 11:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sights and sounds of IFA 2008: look how far Wii've come]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sights-and-sounds-of-ifa-2008-look-how-far-wiive-come/</guid><description><![CDATA[Paul Miller, I just wanted to say that I still love you and your insight even if some of those in the younger crowd are more into silly console war/hardcore gamer posturing.
