What happened?

What happened to the Wii?

Early in development it was to be the biggest innovation in gaming since someone sat down and made a game called Pong. Well early on it all looked so promising. What could be better than sitting in your living room waving your arms around and taking out the odd TV/ window/ girlfriend in the process. It would be a revolution to game play.

Where has this revolution taken us.

Well Red Steel tried early on to make the Wii into what I imagined it might be. This however failed! not because of any issues with the console or the idea of a fps on the Wii. Just because it was a bad game.

Well as they say "If at first you don't succeed make baby games and milk it for all its worth!"

With over 25 controller "enhancements" (read cheap bits of plastic that fit onto the controller), a controller motion sensing enhancement thingy which renders the aforementioned enhancements useless, nun chucks only used in the fishing and boxing games, a controller that resembles the NES controller and a Wii fit balance board that's only use appears to be yoga you have ample things to spend the money you saved on not buying a PS3 or 360 in the first place. At least you wont waste too much money on games as the lineup for gamers is very limited.

Mario Kart is pretty good, as is Super Smash Bros. Zelda is meant to be amazing but i cant think of much else I'd actually want to spend my money on that cant be picked up on other consoles.

There's Imagine Baby Parties (and like 40 other imagine games where SRJ can act out all of his secret fantasies), Wii music (which isn't even a game(no really it isn't even the developer said its not really a game)), Samba De Amigo (v good but a direct port of the Dreamcast original), a whole library of Nintendo Originals and half a million games designed to tell you how stupid you are (I use the term game lightly).

I really wanted it to be good but I knew it couldn't be because Nintendo "Opened gaming to the masses" (read sold out) and have found there to be allot of money lining their pockets very suddenly.
