I'm not a fan of the motion controls, but the Wii has been and will continue to be a cherished system for me, there's so many first-party and third-party games for it that are fun to play. There's a huge amount of shovelware for it, but then the supermarket's full of food I don't like, I just don't put it in my basket.

I like it. At the time the Wii and the NDS were essentially the only two systems I played the most on. Regardless of the massive library of shovelware that the system has, which is a constant gripe most everyone always has, and for good reason, there are some truly great gems that I think everyone that has a Wii should experience. Like with most everything, the Wii has it pros and cons, but it’s definitely a great console.

I try to collect the good games for the Wii, however I don't really feel like picking up the Nintendo published ones except maybe Zelda.
Finding obscure good third party games is more exciting!

If it wasn't for Operation Rainfall I wouldn't have a Nintendo Wii at all. All 3 games got me very excited for the system and upon purchasing 1 I never regretted it - Xenoblade Chronicles was worth getting the system for alone and among the greatest JRPG experiences I've ever had.

I've always struggled to align with Nintendo & it's not for the lack of trying but there is always something that just puts me off, wether it be dungeon crawling, silent protagonists or that Sphere level design in Mario Galaxy there's always something which stops me from really enjoying the majority of Nintendo titles - This applies to all consoles and not just the Wii. It's bizarre as I like cute creatures in things & generally enjoy children's TV shows so you'd think I'd eat up all of Nintendo's properties but I never do.

Most of the games I like on the Wii are very Un-Nintendoy. I've already mentioned Operation Rainfall but another stand out title is Silent Hill Shattered Memories - the Wii version being the best as the PS2 version is technically inferior. That game was great it's interactive narrative. Epic Mickey was a brilliant Platformer which utilised the Wii's controls effectively and I loved how they explored the past characters of Disney.

Beyond that though, I don't have much else to say about the system, sadly was it was not built for HD all my Wii content is put in storage. I had a Wii-U but not much really stood out on that console for me to keep it out - I had it on my TV Unit for 2 years and barely touched it. While the Wii-U console is in HD, the Wii games aren't upscaled which is a big set back for me.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Wii probably like many of you. There are some really great games that utilize the motion controls really well and there are some games that just don't. I bought a Wii in the early days and after a while I just found that I played my PS3 and 360 more while the Wii just collected dust so I ended up selling it. When the black Wii console came out with Motion Plus I bought it again and actually have enjoyed it quite a bit more than I initially did. One thing I do regret is not purchasing more games from the Virtual Console library before Nintendo discontinued it.
