Thinking of selling my Wii, try and convince me not to

Zen · 12-07-2009, 02:14 PM

So yeah... What's coming out for wii that might make me want to keep this? I know Zelda.

PS: Dont care about Mario Galaxy.

BlueFire · 12-07-2009, 02:57 PM

Sell it.

manasecret · 12-07-2009, 03:01 PM

New Super Mario Bros.

Silent Hill just got a very good review from IGN.

You mentioned Zelda, but who knows when.

Probably a project from Retro waiting to be revealed.

Red Steel 2 looks potentially great to me.

New Super Mario Bros.

Sell it.
I'm going to do the same pretty soon.

Bond · 12-07-2009, 05:46 PM

Sell it. Use the money for something fruitful.

Combine 017 · 12-07-2009, 08:32 PM

Yeah I'd say sell it.

Fox 6 · 12-07-2009, 08:50 PM

Dont not sell it

Zen · 12-08-2009, 12:49 AM

That's the thing, I barely play this thing, I mostly play virtual console games on it, LOVED zack and wiki, No more heroes was fun (not really cus of the gameplay though, more like the game's style), prime 3, zelda and smash were all good. (dont play either anymore) and.... uh.... I know I would love new super mario bros because the one on DS is amazing. but so far Im thinking im pretty much on the sale bag.

But honestly, in the time it took to construct this thread, you could have just went over to IGN or something and compiled a list. I mean that simple really.

passive aggressive.

New Super Mario Bros.

Even I got my family to pick it up and I am the last person to defend the Wii.

Angrist · 12-08-2009, 06:04 AM

Isn't NMH2 out soon? Might be your cup of tea. Silent Hill: SM also sounds great.

NSMBW is the only reason you need though. If you have ever liked a 2D Mario game.

I for one almost never sell anything game-wise or movie-wise, especially a console I feel like I will have any inkling of using in the future. Because if you want to buy it again in the future, in all likelihood you will end up losing money on the deal. Whatever you make on it now most likely won't cover the cost of buying it again in the future.

Good point. If you have an inkling that you may want to play the Wii again then I would keep it, but, if you don't, then you might as well sell it now while its resale value is the highest.

Well I already sold mine on the good faith that one of my friends/family members would have one for when I actually wanted to play something. Even my mother has a fucking wii with wii fit.

Here is what I was/still am looking at to play for the wii:

The next Zelda - Like everyone says, no idea when that will be out but I predict we'll see stuff this coming year and probably a late 12 release.

Metroid M or whatever - This is being developed by team fucking ninja. Enough said. I can only hope they bring me Ninja Gaiden type hard to Metroid. I never thought I would see something like this collaboration but fuck yeah, bring it.

RE Darkside Chronicles - Looks like a very fun light gun style game.

Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragile_(video_game)

This game has a unique art style and I wanted to give it a whirl

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories - It has gotten great reviews and does look hella fun.

Other than that really can't think of too much. Unfortunately just not enough for me to justify keeping the Wii. Resident Evil is definitely just a play and done game. Maybe a couple of plays since it's a light gun game, but after a few days I would be done. Same with SH it can be completed several times in a week and done. I don't know much about farewell but it's art style intrigued and it got pretty good japanese reviews including a 31 out of 40 in Famitsu and those guys are hardcore.

I expect great things from Metroid, and of course like all Zelda game I will be able to beat the game in a few days getting everything accomplished and I'll be done with it.

I love the 2d metroids, but hate the FPS prime games, and I'm pumped for what team ninja can do so I'm crossing my fingers but still, it's one of those games you play a few times and you're done.

Just unfortunately the Wii doesn't have enough substance. It's a great party machine, it's cool for 4 players. The serious lack of online play in pretty much every game, and the fact that it's one big whore console for the family makes it just not very fun for the hardcore players.

I feel like there is nothing on the Wii, now, or in the future that I can't wait patiently to play when a used wii is less than 100 bucks and all the games sell used for 20.

/wii hate rant

Also if you do decide to sell it I would say wait until after the holiday season. Gamestop will probably run a special deal around Feb. or March to compensate for all the used systems they lost. When I sold mine the wii was still selling for 250 dollars and I sold it to gamestop for 180.
