Wii - How long do the good times last?

[Josh-H]

I went over my mates last night and had a go on his wii. I thought wii sports and wario were good fun. Therefore I was tempted to TRY and get one if they are in stock now but I'm hesitant as I'm worried its just a gimmick and i'll get fed up of it.

Can people who own a wii give me some opinions on it? Does it get boring?

I own a 360 + PS3 and my favourite games are Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 2, Guitar Hero, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament. Not exactly wii orientated games, except GH.

They're good for gatherings like with a couple of mates or whatever but if you want to play real games and not just the party games then I'd suggest getting something else.

That's what I was worried about tbh.. Hmm.

It's good for the internet and for party games involving a few friends. But it can get boring after a while, but that's probably the games that get boring. Good games are on their way, like SSBB

I've had mines a year and I play it on average 1-2hrs a day.

It get's boring yeh but if you get the decent games for it etc I guess you'll keep yourself entertained with it.

Not forgetting the controllers! You need to buy loads of different controllers for different types of game. :rolleyes:

I haven't got bored with mine at all. It's all down to the games. If you like the games, you'll enjoy the console. Plus theres even more to do than play games. It is not a fad or a gimmick.

You don't own a Wii.

Party games? Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Resident Evil, No More Heroes, MOH, plus a ton more. The Wii isn't just party games you know. Theres a LOT more to it than that.
