What the heck doesn't this thing do?

They should make feet sensors for it so players can walk through games by marching or running in place.

Doesn't clean my house.

Already do.





To answer the original question, it doesn't produce many good games or games with any depth. The average review scores for Wii games are 2 points lower on a 1-10 scale that their counterparts on other systems. The controls have been shoddy, but Nintendo is about to sell us another add on to fix that.

The Wii has just become a dumping ground for crap games. If you can avoid those, it still provides some fun in small doses.

MoonCat said:

Best invention ever!
You have fun while you exercise.

MoonCat said:

Why?

morningsong said:

Most definitely!! I've had the privilege of working with a couple of female one-star generals...and one of my former commanders is up for her second star...Gen. Dunwoody may be the first 4-star, but there are lots coming up from behind....great day for the services!

morningsong said:

Sorry ladies but I have to call boolsheet!



just in time for Xmas!

Somebody still has to sell 'gaming' to me as a whole.

HamsterHuey said:

Nah... you've got better things to do...

RenHoek said:

Like Orging?

Sure. Uhu.

HamsterHuey said:

Orging ain't the half of it... perusing old photos, admiring a wide variety of fine arts, expanding your musical spectrum, that's the HH I've come to know... I don't see you as the gamer type, but I could be wrong...

Well its the first nintendo in 20years to make me buy competing consoles.

Its built for women and small children. "video gamers" should look elsewhere for fun...

mine is collecting ALLOT of dust...only gets used when my nieces and nephews come to visit...

wii makes me

EDIT: altho i do have an unhealthy obsession with Samba De Amigo:

I still like my Wii, but I go in spurts. I'm on it a few days a week, then I'll leave it alone for months at a time

that's why i just save my money and stopped buying that shit, i never play them after taking it out of the box

although i looovee mario kart

RenHoek said:

Nono, I am trying to understand the lure. Up to a certain degree I like gaming, but I am addicted to repetitive, to some, boring games like Tetris2 on the Gameboy. But I see how it consumes my young nephews and how important it is to their 'status' in their pre-teen/teen circle of friends.

And how some of my adult friends geek out on game nights and stuff. I tried Mario Land and the first two Pokemon on my gameboy and my attention span is just too short, as is my patience.

Ooh, and I liked Tombraider, back in the day, on the computer. That is maybe one of the only games that made me addicted, come to think of it.

I hear ya there HH, it is sort of fascinating to see how some people are seriously attracted to gaming. I think a lot of it revolves around gaming giving you the ability to do the extraordinary or just break you out of your shell.

For example, I prefer simulators, real-time strategy and first person shooters. It's my thing so to speak but I can say that I've flown a virtual 747, Apache Attack Helicopter and X-wing fighter. I've stormed the beaches at Normandy and I've saved the world from alien attack on hundreds of occasions. These are things that I will never, ever do in RL and I think that's what is SO appealing to gamers.

I also play a sailing game which to the casual observer is about as exciting as watching moss grow and my wife and friends ask me "What's the appeal?". Basically it helps me practice my sailing tactics. I can virtually race 10 or 12 times in an hour whereas in RL I might get 1 or 2 real starts in a weekend.

Tomb Raider is a classic for it's time and I imagine you appreciated it for it's puzzle solving more than anything. Those were really great games!

HamsterHuey said:

play Zelda.

CalhounSq said:

Is it any good for hard core exercisers?

having just shelled out $249 for a wii system, and another 49.99 for a second controller with Wii games..... the girls wanted this for hannukah...

BlackAdder7 said:

Don't forget to go back and shell out another $60 for the second part of the controllers!

Actually, it's been 2 years since I got mine. Maybe one comes with it.
