Does anyone else feel that the Wii has been a terrible disappointment?

Really? Ehhh...I always thought using an analog stick has lowered my accuracy. I mean I dealed with it in Halo, but I always felt like my thumb was my weakest link.

The closest on the list would be PokeMon Snap, but even then its kind of a stretch.

Hahah, yeah....well, I was just trying to defend myself. Still, Starfox 64 and Panzer Dragon make up for my short list.

Sure the same thing happened with Wii Fit.
Hell the same could be said of anything really.
I'm not disagreeing just saying it happens.

Hmm...again, I think this was just great marketing by Nintendo. I think it is both the fault of dumb consumers and good marketers.

Disaster: Day of Crisis is out everywhere but America. Captain Rainbow will never make it over for obvious reasons.

LOL @ Captain Rainbow

I enjoy simple games like Bomberman or Tetris, while you can argue for Tetris, Bomberman is pretty casual for me.

They can be for hardcore gamers, and I'm sure most hardcore gamers have played Tetris and Bomberman. Tetris is still an arcade game, and while some people may invest a life's worth of time in the game, I think most people enjoy casually playing it as a diversion from more serious games. But any game can technically appeal to a hardcore gamer.

Especially back in the Genesis days.

If Nintendo built a time machine I would buy that shit, give it an A+, and love Nintendo forever. I would also forgive them for all their shortcomings over the past 3 gens.
