Never had an interest in the Wii. Played them at friend's houses and never had a desire to get one. Looking at the Wii U and am strangely drawn to it.
I'd really like to have one but am waiting it out because there aren't enough good exclusives yet. If you own a 360 or PS3, there's not too many games you haven't played yet that are on the WiiU. Once a new Zelda comes out, that's when I'll get it as I'm a Zelda lover.
A new Zelda would be at least 2.5-3 years out though. Can Nintendo survive that long? I also feel that they rely way too heavily on the following formula:
Mario game, Mario Kart game, Zelda game (whenever it's done), Mario Party game, 2nd Mario game, Mario Golf game, and near the end of the console 2nd Zelda game.
Their new IP is sorely lacking. The last time I was excited about something original from Nintendo was Pikmin, and I actually only bought that game because they were sold out of SSB: Melee but was pleasantly surprised.
No new IP but at least they actually try to innovate and give you a whole new game with a new world and new unique and unforgettable experience. Not like they add some levels and items to the same game again and again.
I broke down and bought one. Mario in 1080p looks awesome. Waiting for more games. Oh well.
what was innovative about dkcr, nsmb, mario kart wii, metroid prime wii, latest zelda?
i thought galaxy was very well done on wii, although i think the waggle controls played no part in that game.
and don't get me wrong, i loved dkcr and nsmb on the wii, but there was nothing innovative about them. they were just classic platforming fun.
i just don't think they are really innovating at all anymore like they used to be. i'd personally prefer a mario 64 sequel over a mario galaxy sequel. to me, their classic IP's aren't bring anything new to the table at all. not that it's necessarily a bad thing, i'm just personally pretty burnt out over it.

I'll probably end up getting one for Zelda. Although after playing Skyward Sword on PC via Dolphin emulation and seeing how freaking unbelievably awesome even Wii games can look if properly rendered and then output in full and glorious 1080p
1080p Mario on pc
A lot of artsy Wii games hold up rather well if all you do is increase the internal rendering resolution. The lack of HD is huge reason why I strongly disliked the console now that I think about it.
where can I find Wii ROMS?
Interesting. More info?or buy a very specific IDE-based DVD drive that can read the Wii discs.
