Who wii is sitting gathering dust?

Well had a little play with one last night whilst at work, for the first time, and thought this is cool, but got bored incredibly quickly, if I had one it would definitely be gathering dust.

In my case its down to the fact that there is always something more appealing on the 360 to play.

Snap. I turn mine on when I see a blue pulse only to be disappointed that it's nothing decent. MP3 and Paper Mario are the only games I should get. I haven't completed Zelda. Red Steal sucks. Super Monkey Ball is only good multiplayer. Same as Sports.

I play more XBLA games than I do any game on the Wii. That can't be good.
 
I went through a stage of not playing it but since Super Paper Mario came out I have been on it quite a bit. I tend to do the fitness thing on Sports every couple of days and am just working my way through Trauma Centre. Metriod arrived today as well so I'm going to play that after work. I see my Wii as something for family and friends to play on when they are over and for me to play the franchises I love such as Mario and Zelda etc.
 
Was busy playing Res 4, now Metroid has arrived and been playing it.

Before that tho it sat for ages, but I cant see the point of selling it in its first year, its the old story of not enough games to choose from in its first year.

Out of curiosity - are there just no games that appeal to some of you guys, or you don't know any people interested in playing?

I still play Wii Sports and Wii Play regularly - the competition between me and a few friends has become quite fierce now - and have enjoyed various single player games.

The Table Tennis game in Wii Play has become quite awesome now we've all learnt to play it well.

don't really know that many people playing that are intrested in playing, I pretty much mastered all the sport games within a week. There not really complicated enough to get into them.. Wii play is the type of game I'm really upset to spend 30 quid on its so light weight its unreal..

edit
from what I read it seems a lot of people are the same as me.

I got mine at launch. Hardly played since new year. In fact I lent it my m8 to see if he liked it (he is gonna get one for Xmas) and he had it for over a week (prolly more playtime than I put in).

My 360 gets most use (Halo 3, PGR4 etc.). It has the best and biggest selection of
games that I want & like to play. Online is great etc. On top of this I've got Orange box on the PC so plenty to play.
 
Played it for a few hours when I got Metroid Prime 3 but then not bothered ever since. The console's also FUBARED, half the time it gets a disc read error and I can't be bothered to get it replaced. It's probably just MP3 itself, because the VC works fine and so does Wiisports.

The same goes for 360 and PS3, I haven't touched either of them since Halo 3/Warhawk. Maybe I'm just not liking console gaming as much as I used to? The majority of my gaming is on World of Warcraft, Counterstrike Source, Day of Defeat Source and Crysis SP/MP beta. With a high end PC like mine, you really just can't see the draw of console gaming, especially in the face of something massive like WoW or the spit-polish of Valve online shooters.

Wii Sports only gets interesting once everyone has 'mastered' the games - that's when the all night Bowling sessions kick in. We've had quite a few 10+ person Wii Bowling evenings and they're always superb fun - very close, high scoring, with people picking up tricky splits to edge a victory by a point. Come round one evening, we'll see who's mastered Wii Sports ;)

I don't get what there's to dislike about Wii Play, either, especially considering it costs a fiver! Duck Hunt is pretty fun (my brother is awesome at this game), as is spot the Mii. Lazer Hockey and Table Tennis seemed completely throw away untill one drunken evening me and a mate had a bet to see who was the best. That was almost a year ago now, you should see our Table Tennis matches now - uber fast tests of reactions.

Wii party games are bit like having a football - ok on your own, good fun with a mate, awesome with a big gang.

Dude - WiiPlay costs £30 because it comes with a WiiMote worth £25. I agree that it's lightweight, I wouldn't have got it if it didn't come with the WiiMote, but it's exactly the kind of game one would expect for £5.

:eek: That be flame bait around these parts :p

I haven't used my 360 much recently either. Been playing WoW, TF2, Vampire on my PC. I've got games on my 360 which aren't complete but I just don't want to play them, it feels like I have to force myself, like it's a chore. Maybe it was Halo 3, it made me totally lose my faith in console gaming.
 
Havnt touched mine much at all since paper mario, got to the 3rd world and got a bit bored!

I may have to play it tonight, getting MP3 through on rent soon!

maybe so But I still think all them games you mention are totally light weight and only have any creadability due to the remote. why not play a really multi player game like Street Fighter, I still stick by my guns by saying it is a big fad. I'm not saying its not fun and if I had a load of people to play these games with I would, its hard to find people to play Multiplayer games against these games, no proper hard core gamers around.

I'm still hoping that they release something like wii Kendo or a Starwars lightsaber game, then and only then might my wii get some play time
 
Something like SF2 just doesn't appeal to most people and, despite how much I adore SF2 (see sig), i've been playing that game for what, 15 years now (must have bought the same game 5+ times so far). Picking up SF2 doesn't begin to match the fun that can be had with drunken Wii Sports and a bunch of guys and gals.

doubt you'll be playing wii sports in 15 years time, probally not even 4 months
 
We've been playing it every week for almost a year now and it's still going strong. Probably not 15 years though - we'll be on Wii Sports 6 by then ;)
