    I just wish Prime Trilogy wasn't all content that I played previously. Nintendo's efforts on the Wii have all felt like re-hashes of the same stuff that was on the Cube. Aside from Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess/Brawl/Mario Kart/Metroid all feel like they're largely the same games.

    Isn't there a Shiren game for the wii?

    I could use a roguelike on it (besides Baroque, which to my understanding, was kind of bleh) to get more use out of it

    twilight princess was originally a cube game, too

    they just slapped on wii controls at the last minute and a lot of them didn't work all too well

    still waiting on a wii zelda game

    There is that scribblenauts game, but I guess that's sort of a puzzle game too

    honestly I would have paid the price of a gamecube just for ssbm
    the fact that it also had other games was an added bonus

    it had some neat ideas (I liked the part with the big empty white expanse)

    but the core gameplay was pretty damn boring

    I hated the part with the big empty white expanse because you had to walk through it for like an entire minute

    also Paper Mario:TTYD was the best game ever so it did not meet my expectations

    Brawl, deBlob, Batallion Wars 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, and Guitar Hero III.
    Those are fun, and I can't wait for Galaxy 2 and NSMB: Wii.

    fuck that
    I kept leaving, assuming that I had missed some obvious way to get around doing that so it ended up taking like a half hour to do that level

    gamegrrl that looks very rentable

    Yea, there were some terrible parts to Super Paper Mario

    the whole axis flipping idea was really cool, but I never felt like it was used to it's full potential

    and the platforming itself was pretty bland

    So does anyone still play their 360's? The only 360 games I've played in the last 8 months were Rock Band and Forza
    Oh my gosh I am so clever. Did you see how I turned that around?

    I use my 360 everyday

    might not be to play games, mainly because its my dvd player

    if the wii had been compatible with dvds it would have been a different story, at least for me

    I actually sold my 360 and kept my Wii because I was really only playing N64 and SNES games anyways on my consoles.

    I'm afraid of new things apparently.

    Im looking forward to the new super mario brothers wii game.

    Otherwise yeah it hasnt been played much, mostly because I dont want to shell out $50 for a new game lately. Though a wario shake or punch out price drop would get me playing again.

    The Wii in my house plays DVDs just fine, though we usually just stream movies off the network with it.

    I think when it shipped it did not have a DVD player function.
