is the Wii worth it?/pros and cons of the Wii

**m0tl3sl4y3r** · 13-11-2009

I was thinking about getting a Nintendo Wii just for fun.

I don't really know why but I'm tempted to get one when I get some extra money or someone whos willing to buy me one

please tell me the pros and cons of it and if u guys think it is worth the money and your opinions on the system

**trediddy** · 14-11-2009

to me it depends what type of gamer you ar

**Jordan** · 14-11-2009

Pros: Fun for a couple hours

Cons: Only fun for a couple hours

**SaintAvi** · 14-11-2009

I'll buy a wii when the next Zelda game rolls around.

Zelda and Metal Gear are system sellers for me.

**Darren** · 14-11-2009

It's not really worth it tbh, it's a fun gimick only for a couple of hours, like Jordan said, but after the whole "I move the character moves !!! WOW!" effect wares off it's just another console and that's mostly because of the the 3RD Party support, although its good, they just seem to make the same games rather than make anything new out of it.

Plus count in all the shovelware the Wii gets and the fact the graphics suck *** compared to both the PlayStation 3 and the 360, the recently released Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Reflex for the Wii is a perfect example. Well that and the release schedule for titles that you might actually want is so long most people get bored with their console just waiting for something else to release.

Pro: Best few hours you will ever spend 200 dollars on

Con: 200 dollars only gets you a few hours

;)

**m0tl3sl4y3r** · 14-11-2009

I guess it is worth..only for a few hours lol

**xEN7xASSASSINx** · 14-11-2009

Pro's: the wii is f*cking amazing! seriously its soo good motion controls and a balance board! and tennis and sh*t

Con's: i just lied, its not worth it :)

Sadly I've never played any Zelda game (forgive me) I wanna try one but I don't have an N64 or any other Nintendo system

I mainly want a Wii for the Mario games

Ah man you are missing out, Ocarina of Time is largely regarded to be
the greatest game ever created.

It sits at the top of my favorite games list along with it's sequel , Majora's Mask

Both are available on the Wii Virtual Console

**Darren** · 19-11-2009

The zelda games are often pretty good, saying that though I've only played Minish Cap and Twilight Princess

I played bits of Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, they're good, but for some reason I prefer the old SNES Zeldas.

I dunno, seems a little fishy to me.

**saxxon20** · 11-12-2009

If you have kids and a family it can be fun but other than that I just play my PS3, it's not like I sit down and pop in a Wii game and play, I only play it if my boy wants to play some Mario Kart or something like that.

**Lonewolf** · 21-01-2010

The wii is lots of fun, but if you are a serious about your gaming I wouldnt go for it. Personally ive got a wii and PS3 and the wii is awesome for when aload of friends come round but when I wann sit down for some serious gaming the wii just doesnt cut it
