Anyway, other than the lack of originality, that's pretty good. As people have said, you may want a plow instead of casters.

The Wii pretty much sucks.  The whole thing is based on a gimmick.  Once you get tired of being amazed at how flailing your arms does stuff there really isn't much else to it.  Take away the wonder of having motion controls and you realized that the graphics are terrible(1.) and most of the games(2.) are boring at best.

Still, gimmicks sell.  Thus, the Wii is a huge moneymaker.

It's kind of funny how Microsoft and Sony jumped on the bandwagon with motion controls.  It's even funnier that Kinect actually turned out to be pretty cool rather than just a useless joke.
1. That's never effected great games before. In addition, the Wii's processing power in terms of graphics is not often apparent with the better games of the system. It may not be as good graphically, but games like Super Mario Galaxy can look better than the common generic brown you can tag to 70% of the PS3's shooters, at least in my opinion.

2. Most is not all. Do you ever plan to own all of the games on any system? No, you buy a few, and there are a few great games on Wii.

Your arguments have been used before and are subjective enough to destroy an English Teacher. Come up with one that's original.

As for  the last bit, don't buy it since there are good games on Wii that aren't shovelware. It's not like you buy some random mini game compilation when there's something vaguely decent like Monster Hunter Tri on a console.

The only redeeming factor IMO is the Virtual Console.
There are good games on Wii; Okami, Metroid Prime, Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicle, Goldeneye 007, Murumasa: The Demon Blade, Sin and Punishment 2, LoZ: TP, Super Mario Galaxy.

The library was mostly filled with shovelware, and most of the 'good' games feel like the same games from years ago.

Examples:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
SSBB
Mario Kart Wii.

That's just what I see.


Every COD/generic-blockbuster-shooter game feels different? News to me ;p
Pahaha

3DS (purely for the browser, so not much of a gaming choice) > Magnavox Odyssey (purely for retro reasons)

Hipster consoles?

You say that all games are made for are "the money."

...isn't that what every nonvital product is made for?
Perhaps, but certain things are more heavily aimed for commercial acceptance than others. Simple as that.

That is true. What about BF3?
Not a fan, but it is much better than its contemparies. If it had split screen multiplayer, that would be great.

Friend told me to check this band out, and may even be able to get me their EP album (apparently a friend of his gave him a load of them)
It's not a bad album, as I found out earlier this year. But I prefer Worlds Torn Asunder by Warbringer, personally.

Also, the Wii's processing power is inferior. It can't do as much.
Maybe, but it's how you use it that counts.

MAG
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAG_%28video_game%29#Reception

256 player matches.
Which is indeed impressive.

However, the game has no single player. That's pretty much fodder to online players only.

This is my console war view:

PC > PS3 > 360 > Wii

PC > PS3 > Wii > 360

I personally enjoy both the PS3 and Wii, so the 360 is kinda behind for me.

The Wii may not have as many good games as the PS3, but they are generally games with more originality and identity than its competitors.

Plus, since when has processing power been used to its fullest on the PS3 or XBox? They tend to use a lot of the same colour, and that's never been a big problem, according to you. Galaxy, as I have said, can use its processing power to the maximum, and it shows in the game's overall quality and aesthetics.

This happens to be the stupidest thread in existence.

While most Wii games suck (mostly the ones made by Ubisoft and other third parties) there are some truly essential and great games on Wii. Okami, SMG, Metroid Prime Trilogy, LoZ: TP, Hydroventure, and World Of Goo, and in many ways is more mature than the PS3 for the majority of the games. The PS3 has kids games too.

In addition, the Wii can look amazing, sound amazing, and play amazing, all of which brilliantly demonstrated by the original Super Mario Galaxy, that looks much nicer than many games on PS3 and 360, simply because they use appropriate colors to make it look better. Games like Shadow Of The Colossus and Ratchet and Clank are visually great games on the PS3, simply because they aren't always some dirty brown colour, which seems beyond common games like CoD, Battlefield, and others. Add to that a greater variety of game styles and the Wii in many ways is better than the PS3.

Credit to the PS3 for games like LittleBigPlanet and Mass Effect 2, but the Wii is not crushed by its competitors, you just need to know where to look.

So a big budget title is on the same level as a shovelware game?
This is the only real argument left which I feel is legit; there are too many third party mini game fests on the Wii, which is an undeniable weakness.

Lol you can sit down with any V. You just need to have it classical guitar style, with the lower spike going between your legs.

Trems are fine once your used to them.
