I previously was an avid Nintendo fan. I thought the Wii had it going and would be the most innovative console in the history of gaming. I was wrong. Not only were there very few good (story, action, non-linear) games for it at first, but after a year nothing had improved.
In my mind I was disappointed, but I wasn't going to let that ruin my gaming experience. After around year and a half I started to pay attention to my friends with Xbox 360's. They were talking about the games they played together and all the fun they were having. Meanwhile I had played out everything on the Wii that I was interested in. The Wii hadn't been used. There were only a few titles that could compare in quality with the titles available on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
My Wii slowly became a dust collector and eventually was placed in the box pictured above. I intended to keep it there until something interested me. I have since decided to sell it.
Here is why I left the Wii:
- All the new games are what seems to me like Wii Sports Rehashes.
- A new gimmick comes out every month it seems.
- There is nothing you can do with these add-ons that you can't do without.
- The Wii is overpriced (it costs more than a system with four times the power).
- Online just isn't fun on the Wii.
- There are too many Wii Fanboys blind to the slow destruction of their favourite brand.
- All the good games are Mario, Zelda and Metroid.
- Everyone knows all of this, but some won't admit it.
