I agree with Waveboy on multiple points. There are just a whole lot more Wii games that I own and want than N64 or Gamecube combined. Also the third-party exclusives really didn't tickle my fancy except for Sonic Generations and Batman Arkham City(Wii U version ). I'm not a fan of the FPS genre and games like Uncharted were ok, but i'd much rather play SMG or DKCR. One thing I always thought funny was how well received Little Big Planet was. I thought it was a mediocre platformer but with them being so rare on the HD consoles it was like something nobody had ever seen before.

I also agree with Waveboy, the N64and Gamecube had some great games and I think there are more great games for those consoles than Waveboy but I still think the Wii has a lot more interesting games while there are around 15 PS3/360 games that interest me but there are a lot more on PS1 and PS2 so I may get a PS2 at some point for those but I'm still undecided on that.

Only genre I think the wii lacked in was rpgs in my books. Honestly the best thing was to get two systems one for nintendo stuff and an xbox for everything else.

Also waveboy how did you like dead space and alan wake.

Yeah, nobody played LittleBigPlanet for the platforming. They played it so they could make their own stages and show it off to their friends. With that said, LBP2 is so much the better game it's not even funny. The singleplayer is a blast in comparison, and the customization lets you do loads more, you don't even have to make them platformers, you can make Shmups or RPGs or Racing games if you want to.

in my opinion the Wii had the best Library of games compared to the PS3/360.

It had variety.
Didn't have a game come out starring "same generic tough guy" starring in "dull boring brownish world".
Made FPS more fun with motion controls. (Play Metroid prime trilogy and tell me I'm wrong.)
Backwards compatibility with gamecube and the VC store. Sorry PS3 can't play the more amazing ps2 games D:
and it didn't have the whole "hardcore" crowd.

of course the wii was not without it's flaws.
Online was not there (well it was in MHtri)
Third party games were mostly piss poor compared to the other consoles.
The wii shop channel and it's problems.
Friend codes!!!! Run for the hills!
the fact Motion plus came too late in the cycle. Imagine if it was there in the beginning?? a man can dream...
Motion controls for most third party games were awful.

And I didn't state the whole graphics thing because the Wii was perfectly capable of making games look amazing. Skyward sword, Mario Galaxy, muramasa, Kirby's epic yarn. The blame mainly falls on the fact how the Wii was designed. from what I've read, developing a nice looking game on wii was very confusing compared to Xbox360 ps3 and more time consuming. So most developers didn't bother trying to make their games look nice because of this. Which is understandable.

What genre do the other consoles not have? lol

They have three times the critically acclaimed games of the Wii yet people think they're all the same. And yet Nintendo fans criticize others for not doing their research when it comes to the Wii's library.

Irony.

I think the Wii has a lot of good games.
It's just hard to find them on mainstream retailers...

Well I personally find about 1/3 or so of my 360 games (at least 50 retail titles) to be overrated and mediocre at absolute best, almost all of which despite critically and commercially success (which almost never happens as I am fairly easy to amuse and even something like Other M would be like a 5/10 for me, for example). But yes, fanboys are consistently ignorant and hypocritical. Wow, what insight into something no one's ever known. Did you get an award for your groundbreaking ideas?

Wait a second. From what I understand the PS3/360 only have grey brown shooters with Balde space marines but what are these.

@Sony_70 The 360 has variety but if you look at all the games Metacritic scores over 85, you wouldn't be wrong to say the Xbox 360 mostly has shooters and action games. Not to mention 3 Fifa titles.

...in my pants.

CanisWolfred

Yeah, I have more good Wii games than I do for the PS3 or 360, and I actually found the Wii pretty disappointing. Granted, I still got a dozen PS3 games left to get, but I also got a dozen wii games left to get, too. Of course, none of those consoles are as good as last gen. I got over 100 PS2 games and over 50 Gamecube games, hardly any of which I'd ever want to get rid of. I can't say that for any of my current gen consoles. There's barely any current gen games left coming out that I want, too, whereas there are quite a few old games that I still need to get.

No, you still would be wrong. You'd be very wrong. Because metacritic scores do not denote a games' existance. Just because it has a score below 85 does not mean it no longer exists. They are and will always be there. If you ignore their existance for such an arbitary reason, that's your problem. You'll still be wrong when you complain that X console doesn't have games in y genre, and you'll have to deal with the fact that you look like an idiot for doing so.

One day you will post something that isn't completely biased and actually contributes to the discussion at hand, I swear. Just keep working on it.

Again, someone name a genre on the Wii that has more critically acclaimed games than the other consoles. This should be easy since the Wii is all about diversity and the other consoles are one trick ponies, am I right bronies?

I don't care about everyone's opinions. Of course you all think the other consoles completely suck, this is a site tailored towards Nintendo fanboys. But when you say a library is a lot more diverse, you have to at least back it up. That's not an opinionated statement.

I can live with this conclusion.

Says the person who constantly changes the discussion of a topic so that he can attempt to start another Wii VS. 360/PS3 or Nintendo VS. Sony/Microsoft argument.

Backing something up doesn't mean people have to use your rules. Sometimes games receive a completely different reception from gamers than they do from the critics. Take the Tales of series for example. The user score on metacritic for games in this series is (almost) always higher than the the metascore as critics rarely give the series the appreciation it deserves. Even so, I'll answer your question, platformers.

@Waveboy

Yep VP and Banjo nuts and bolts are probably two of my ravorote games visually speaking this gen. Thats what I want from rare and nintendo next gen. Lots of charm and color.

The other game is fez which is one of my contenders for goty this year. I still havent beat kt yet but its just a joy to play.
