Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Well I haven't really been playing my Wii. The main thing that's keeping me from selling it is a little game called Super Smash Bros. Also I'm waiting for a really awesome Star Wars game!

I have a 360. I hadn't touched my Wii in forever until No More Heroes came out. It's really good, but after playing the 360 for long periods of time the graphics on the Wii seem very sad. Mario Galaxy had decent graphics, but no more heroes reminds me of PS1 mixed with PS2 style graphics. I'm excited about Brawl, but unfortunately the xbox is my main system until Wii gets it's 1 or 2 good games released.

I'm actually playing my Wii on a regular basis. What keeps me there are two titles that I'm slowly working my way through: Super Mario Galaxy and Zack and Wiki. But those are actually on hold while I tackle Paper Mario on the VC. The guys at Four48 inspired me. I also have a PS3 but there are even less games for that system(that suit my taste) than the Wii. But like Jacob, I'm eagerly waiting for SSBB.

For me, a full time worker and married, I am playing RE:4 when the wife's not around and Mario Galaxy on coop with the wife.

I also still get in about 10 hours of WoW a week.

Up until now it's been Super Mario Galaxy but with only 3 stars remaining and no hope of finishing these impossibly difficult Purple Coin levels, I've put it aside. Right now, and I know I'm a little behind, I'm playing Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, which I missed the first time around.

I work, and I am married. Every time I turn on the Wii, my dog wants to play fetch at that exact moment as well, so it gets a bit hard.....and I am only ranket 8th on NMH.

Wow, I just invented a new way to spell "ranked." "Ranket"....it's still early.

Mass Effect on 360 is taking alot of time away, and Uncharted and Ratchet are taking up PS3 game time. Haven't payed the Wii since Mario.

I finished No More Heroes the second day I had it (yay sick days) and I'm still trying to finish Zack and Wiki. Still loving guitar hero and can't wait to get another guitar so my wife can play co-op. I own a 360 on which I'm currently playing Mass Effect. I generally play the 360 in bed. I've also been sinking my teeth into some Advance Wars: Days or Ruin on DS when I'm not busy with everything else.

I got Mario Galaxy and Guitar Hero III for Christmas and played them for a month. I got all 121 stars in Mario Galaxy, got as far as a normal human being with four fingers and a thumb on each hand can in Guitar Hero III, now I'm trying to find a copy of No More Heroes. Stupid late Canadian release date and being in a crappy town of crap.

For the past couple of weeks I've been playing non-Wii games on my Wii. I blasted through Paper Mario on the Virtual Console and now I'm about to finish Paper Mario 2. I also went through Killer 7 in anticipation of more Suda goodness. :P

Like Jacob said : Waiting for Smash Bros and a Star Wars game - maybe not the Force Unleashed, but something with real lightsaber controls.

Instead, I'm playing WoW (still), Advance Wars : Days of Ruin, Pokemon Diamond (why I don't know), and Team Fortress 2.

I'd be playing Guitar Hero still, except I had fever dreams of "when we were young" by The Killers after playing it for too many hours in a row. That, and it's in mono still.

For the Wii, I've been playing lots of Super Paper Mario and Super Smash Bros Melee. Eventually I will work my way to the original Paper Mario, which I've never played, but I doubt that will happen before Brawl comes out.

I haven't played the DS in over a month, but in my mind I'm still in the middle of Contra 4, Drawn to Life, and Final Fantasy III.

As for the PS2... FF12 from two Christmases ago still lies untouched (blame the Wii!) so it mostly just plays DVDs. Okami WAS going to be the next PS2 game for me, but I'm pretty sure I'll just wait for the Wii version. Because, you know, graphics are really important to me and I can't settle for anything sub-par.

I'm married, work full time, and have dog. Slowly but surely, I'm working my way through Mario Galaxy. I'm ranked 3 in NMH and loving every swing of my beam katana. And a little Mario Strikers peppered in for some online action and Guitar Hero every now and again, when the mood strikes.

I am going to be clearing my schedule come 3/9 though. I've even planed on taking off on 3/10 with a couple of friends to play Smash all day, kinda like when we were in college.

I'm a Wii60 gamer and even though the 360's been getting more time lately, I have more games for and more overall time with the Wii. I've got Nintendo's big games but also Tiger Woods, Z&W, and NMH bringing me back. My 360 play is dominated by Halo, Rock Band, and Madden.

Honestly, with these two systems I'm more than happy. I haven't been able to keep up with the awesome releases, both in terms of financing my addiction and actually playing through everything. The Wii holds it's own for me; if I didn't have it, I'd be almost bored with gaming right now.

Like a few others I'm married and work full time. I'm playing Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Party 8, and I'm going to get Galaxy a little later this month hopefully. I'm just too busy to play games lately.

You know, interestingly enough whats holding me to the Wii this week was the dusting off of F-Zero GX. I totally forgot how amazing this game is. See, I downloaded F-Zero X this weekend, and am somewhat disappointed by Nintendo EAD's effort. But that's what I get for having played GX before X.

Oh, and I didn't even know GX supports not only 480p, but 16x9 mode as well. Please Amusment Vison, make an F-Zero Wii!!!!

Like Vidguy, I to claim I'm a Wii360 gamer, I've been playing a lot of virtual console lately, Finished Zelda Oceania , I missed it the first time, I finally got Assassins Creed and Bioshock for xbox, needless to say Im very busy with gaming at the moment

On PC, lots of Team Fortress 2, Portal (beaten it twice, but just can't get enough), started going through Half-Life 2 again....

On PS2, just a dvd player right now....FF12 sits half-way completed, NCAA Football 08 I haven't touched since MP3 came out, the Wii releases have been so steady since then.....

On Wii right now, GHIII and Fire Emblem are in the heaviest rotation with a smattering of lego star wars and mario galaxy....need to get back to Zack and Wiki.......

Anyone playing TF2 on PC needs to leave their Steam ID here so we can add each other......we should create a WiiFanboy, or Fanboy etal group......mine is.....

Like others here, I'm married, have kids and a job. Not a heck of a lot of time for gaming. When I have an hour to play, I'm usually playing Mario Galaxy as coop with my daughters. When they and the wife are asleep, I fire up the PS3 to play burnout Paradise.

Married/Kids/Big Job

For me it has been Endless Ocean (my four year old is fish crazy so he loves watching and trying to play a bit), Wii Sports (can't stop), and I actually dusted off Links Crossbow last night. I need to get to 120 stars in Galaxy at some point. I rescued Peach, but Ive stopped at like 80 stars or something like that.

Reply

I have only a Wii and a gaming pc. I was hassled by my girlfriend that I've spent way to much time on the Wii so I've cut back to almost 2 hours a day.(She now plays more than I)

Reply

I have Trauma Center, NMH and Zack & Wiki sitting unopened. I just got them. I've been playing VC games, Marvel: UA with my brother, and RE4 when I'm by myself.

My PS2 lures me away from time to time to play football or older, cheap, quality games that I never got around to. Good games for under 10 bucks is a nice distraction. I can't even recall the last full price PS2 game I've bought. Maybe GTA:SA way back when.

Wii & DS being the only consoles i have (and my PC graphics card now having been officially declared defective), i gravitate towards Wii most of the time

Between now and Brawl, i'll finish No More Heroes (currently ranked 4, where did his cat go?), finish Radiant Dawn (w00t), then replay through Metroid Prime 3 (which i've wanted to do for a while, but too many Wii games)

Reply

I havnt been pulled away from my Wii recently...

I either play my Wii(Internet Channel or MoH H2 Online), watch TV, or play on my N64(still hooked up with SSB :D)

Married, no kids, full time job

Well I own a wii and 360 and pretty much I bounce back between the 2. On the wii Mario party 8 and RRR2 as party games as well as smarty pants, I blew thru Galaxy 72 stars peach rescued. Z&W some time, Geometry Wars I hardly play. And on the 360 side of things my time currently is absorbed by burnout paradise, but usually I'm playing scene it, or guitar hero 3 or rock band, or CoD4, so yea I'd say pretty even somewhat, I dunno.

Smash Bros. Brawl has kept me glued to my Wii.
My fingers need a break though, so I'm off for a bit.
advance wars has also gotten some love.
I have 360 collecting dust somewhere, I'm sure of it.

Bleh. Full-time internship while in college and being an officer in a fraternity and student government takes up most of my time, but I shoot for an hour or so of gaming late at night before bed. Ranked 8th on NMH, 50-ish Galaxy stars, a few levels into Z&W, and untouched copies of the Simpsons and RE:UC from the Toys R Us sale a few months ago-- completing any game these days takes so much time. After I finish the grind of NMH I'll probably swing over to UC. The DS sits in the rest room for some quick Sudoku Gridmaster play :)

I haven't really used my Wii in a long time. My house also has a 360 and my boyfriend has been playing of lot of that lately; I play Katamari on the 360 occasionally. I'm waiting for the guitar for GH3 to come out so we can play together - the game gets dull on single player after awhile, since it's the same songs over and over again. Finished Mario Galaxy in a week with all 120 stars and that was a blast, but now I feel like there's been a bit of a dry spell in terms of anything new or exciting. Am excited for Wii Fit and am hoping for news about the Wii Animal Crossing.

I'm still gradually getting through Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess (yes, I'm slow :P) and Metroid Prime 3. Plus a few other Gamecube games like Tales of Symphonia (really need to finish that one before the sequel hits).

But I've recently been dragged away by Kingdom Hearts on the PS2, which I've vowed to finish. I'm up to End of the World, and getting my arse handed to me. Then I've still got KH2 and Chain of Memories! The trusty old PS2 isn't going anywhere for me yet.

Reply

Ive been mainly playing my PC... why? Luck as much as anything. I have 1 more game on it to complete (Super Mario Galaxy) and over 35 PC titles to get to...

....and dice tend to pick my next game.

Ill get more titles when I thin the heard some, but let me say.... Metroid Prime 3... that alone says to me the system was worth it.

Reply

i want to play my wii more, really i do. But there has been nothing released That i truly wanted. Galaxies was too much like sunshine as i borrowed it from a friend to see if i should get it. I am waiting for No more hereos to release in the UK and waiting for amazon to get guitar heroes back in stock and when the new dbz releases. then we will see what play time the wii gets. But i only play team fortress 2 on the pc right now, I dont even play my ds. I think the ds titles have gone downhill in the last 6 months.

Reply

haven't really been playing my wii lately. i've been addicted to team fortress 2 on my ps3 and rock band. although i did play it yesterday for like 6 hours and finally beat super paper mario.

Reply

I have my PS3 hooked up to my 47" 1080p lcd through HDMI and to 5.1 surround with optical. That was simply for rock band and GH3 which I couldn't find for wii in stores last year. I basically haven't gone back despite a VERY extensive collection of games and peripherals...honestly, it's mostly just immersion. crisp, lifelike graphics and surround sound get me into ps3, and now wii's graphics just hurt my eyes.

Well lets see, since Phantom Hourglass, my DS hasnt been touched. And upon NMH's arrival I havent played any of my normal PC games lately. I reguallarly play Team Fortress 2 and am still trying to beat HL2: EP2.
