Disappointed with the Wii

[Nick:]

If you don't want it then sell it on Ebay since people have been selling the, for £800 and easily selling them.

lmao £800 yeh right man, the most i seen 1 go for was like £450 with 5 games, but still if you want to sell it put it on ebay you will make a small profit they sell for about £250 on ebay at the moment

It was like that when I bought the wii, however you do tend to find that when you play the Wii for a while you get accustomed to the controls. Since the controls are being used by two hands, you exercise both parts of your brain. Give it a chance for longer and you'll soon find it fun!
P.S. Try the army games; they are the best!

Indeed and to add to this, they're trying to make it different, so the controls you had for the Gamecube/N64 would be different. I used to use my left hand for Gamecube which is where the Wii is similar to, and my right hand for the N64, which is different completely.

Just get used to it really, you shouldn't expect a console to have the same controls *glares at Playstation and PS2*.

Just for your information, Wii's are selling in excess of £300 inc.p&p.

So, after weeks of trying to track down a Wii (including some very early morning trips to Virgin Megastores and bus journeys a-plenty) I finally got a Wii that my Mum's mate had ordered but didn't need.

And after being so excited, I just feel underwhelmed. Wii Sports is absolutely brilliant, and for a good few hours I've had a laugh playing. However the system's really not offering me anything else. Zelda... I thought I'd love it, but it's just not my cup of tea. I also thought that the Wiimote would be PERFECT for FPSes, but alas after borrowing Red Steel and playing CoD3 at a friends I find the controls extremely flawed. I could run rings around a Wiimote user if I had a joypad any day. There's just no games at all that interest me given the shovelware-filled launch lineup. The only games I really want to play are SSBB, Super Mario Galaxy and WarioWare. But do 3 games warrant the purchase of a console?

To exacerbate the problems, I'm also in the pickle of being left-handed. Not only would I normally use the movement analogue stick with my left thumb, but I hold a remote with my left hand. That means I'm left at a disadvantage whatever way I hold the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

Not to mention that the whole Wii interface is pretty pedestrian compared to that of the 360 (and even the PS3 if you get over the plainness of it all).

I'm just not as impressed as I thought I'd be, really. And even after all the "new console excitement", I just want to go back to playing Gears of War. I feel like I've just wasted £185, and I can't even return it.

Oh and by the way, none of the "omgzorz ur an idiott!111!", because opinions aren't what make intellect. And none of the "give it 2 me", because we both know that's not happening.

If you like wii sports you NEED wii play. Legend of zelda bored me at first infact i played it for about 10 mins and then didnt play it for like a week but give it a chance get into the goron mines and thats when it really begins to shine. As for Red steel i bought it and was rather dissapointed but after a few levels i got into it and understood the control system then it becomes great while it lasts [Its pretty short]. Oh yeh raymans great fun too

I agree with the bit about Zelda. First place is easy, Forest temple is boring and takes ages, Goron mines is easy aswell but when you chase the moblin onto hyrule field, that is EXCELLENT!

Yeah I'm also left handed.. I would want a Wii but Zelda etc isn't my cup of tea. The only games I'd probably play is Warioware, Mario, COD3 and Wii Sports. (With the annoyance of COD3 being hard with the remote left hand.)

Thanks for the help guys, I've been playing Wii Sports a bit more and well... I'm not really sure what to do. If I get rid of this one there's no stopping my buying one again down the line when there are more games I want (SSBB, Elebits, Trauma Centre) available.

And I know I go on about gameplay over graphics (and I love my DS because of that) but after playing the 360 for a year the Wii's graphics feel dated, especially in games like Zelda. I really wish they hadn't gone for realism, and instead stuck with the cel-shaded from Wind Waker. At least then it would have been stylised and not looking so ugly compared to the PS3 and 360 games.

I'd sell it on Ebay. Even though it's post-christmas you could get quite a bit of money, maybe a slight profit.

yeah i'd recommend eBay selling it.
