Wiigret

I can honestly say that I am one of those people who have Wiigret. I’ve always loved any game that has dealt with any of the Mario characters – or any game that I just felt had a care free feeling of fun. Some of my favorite games have been Katamari, Warioware, and the Paper Mario’s.  But when it comes to the Wii, I feel as if something is missing.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the concept of the Wii. I love its controls, the online store, that many features you can download and use, etc… but games it self for the Wii? I have a great disappointment. The first games we bought were the newer Mario Party, Zelda, Elibits, and Wii Play. Mario Party was fun, but we soon grew tired of it. I don’t feel like it was as great as the past ones. I didn’t really get to play Zelda before my boyfriend pawned it off, and would have loved to try it even though I haven’t played any of the past games. And as fun as Elibits is, it gets old after awhile.

I think my Wiigret really hit me after playing Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.  That game to me was remarkable, and unlike the type of games I have seen previously released for a Nintendo system. After playing that game, I want more. I’m no longer that 10 year old girl playing games, and I want a game that goes with how old I am. I know that during the year 2008 Nintendo is planning on releasing many games and I can only hope that they way greater than many of the games that came out in 2006.

Also, I feel as if with the Wii you dont have as many options with the games it self. Like many I am a big fan of Guitar Hero and currently have Guitar Hero III for the Wii – but was kind of bummed out about it when I learned that with the XBox 360 you could download extra tracks for the song. I wish I could do this with the guitar hero I have because I’m slowly getting sick of the songs that are on there currently, having played them many many times. To me with all the Internet and Download options they have on the Wii I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be possible to the Wii to have the same option for the extra songs as the 360.

I really hope that soon things start looking up for the Wii. I am already excited about Wii Fit with the new balance board, and Mario Kart with the new controller for that – but after getting four Wiimotes, four Numchucks, two classic controllers, and a guitar for guitar hero what I’m not excited about is buying more controllers for more games for the Wii. As if games being 40+ dollars now a days, I’m really not excited to see the prices that will be coming along with these games. That’s not saying that I wont end up getting them, but still – stop trying to get into my wallet Nintendo!

All in all – if things don’t really turn around for the Wii. I’m afraid I will be getting a 360 and the Wii will end up gathering dust on my book case.
