Wii Owners Do Not Want New Games?

new york times

The New York Times - These new gamers are content with the games they have, often going no further than the Wii Sports game that comes with the machine. They don ’t buy new games with the fervor of a traditional gamer who is constantly seeking new stimulation.

What?

    Buy new games so that Nintendo will make even MORE! :P

    Not going past Wii Sports? That is pretty much like buying a $250 game…. ouch…

    This article is semi BS… I personally have bought more Wii games than any of my friends that own an XBOX or PS3.

    1) Metroid Prime 3
    2) Mario Galaxy
    3) Mario Strikers Charged
    4) Bomberman Land (back off, I shared the wii with my girl)
    5) Super Smash Bros Brawl
    6) Guitar Hero III
    7) Excite Truck
    8) Sega Bass Fishing
    9) Resident Evil 4 Wii
    10)Twilight Princess
    11)Super Paper Mario
    12)Wii Play

    Not to mention all the old Gamecube games I’ve been buying cuz I don’t have a gamecube… on top of that I will definitely be getting Mario Kart this weekend. Since I got my Wii around February of 07, that means I’m averaging almost 1 Wii game purchase a month… pretty steady if ya ask me. Stupid NY-Times.

    As a counter-point… and also to slightly back their statement up, I have one set of friends who have only bought SSBB and are still enjoying WiiSports… but they have only had their Wii for about 4 months.

    Very stupid NY-Times. They don’t know what they are talking about! :D

    I live in Finland and new games costs here around 60€ per game (95 USD) and I have bunch of them. I’m not rich but I do have daily job and I do love Wii.

    Btw.. I wouldn’t buy PS3 of Xbox 360 if I had money because they aren’t as fun as Wii.

    Other than the actual nintendo main games tho the wii is pretty boring, hell yea the marios, zeldas, and metroids are better than any other systems best games and always will be but other than nintendos main games the rest are either childish, developers don’t put any effort into them, or they’re for other platforms as well.
