I have less games for my Wii than for my 360, but all the games I have for it are really good. Both Mario Galaxy games are very well done and a lot of fun (rare example of a sequel being better in almost every way for Mario Galaxy 2) and I had a ton of fun playing Monster Hunter Tri online with other people. The controller was definitely a gimmick (especially the stupid nunchuck) but some developers were able to take advantage of it and do some cool stuff. WiiU's touchscreen controller definitely has potential and I'm excited to see what developers use it for. If Nintendo really does go with Android, I can see it making a huge difference in software availability. If any developer with Android experience can start making touchscreen-ready games for the WiiU, it should bring some exciting stuff to the table.

Nintendo Considering Android For The Wii U?
- Thread starter HardOCP News
- Start date
heh, super mario galaxy is the only game i actually played all the way through on wii, and i have to say the ONLY thing i didnt love about that game was the wiimote controls. i tried to play with a GC controller on like 5 separate occasions until i finally had to accept that it wasnt supported. 
the wiimote was a good idea, and a innovative try on nintendos part to revolutionize console controls, but i think it was a complete failure and im glad theyre going back to a real controller for wiiU. although, im more than a little apprehensive about its comfort/useability just going off pictures.
anyone think the controller might end up doubling as a standalone portable device? i dont see why it shouldnt since it should have the processing power, controls, and screen already on it. and its wireless right?

I've been hoping for this from the moment it was announced.
Remember all those funny jpgs about how the DS was going to 'fail miserably'? yeah.
The Wii is more of a family console (especially good for younger kids).
We got alot of use out of games like Mario Party, Wii Ski and Snowboard (not only fun, but good exercise with the balance board), Wii Resort, Super Smash Brawl, Wii Party, Spyro, Kirby, a couple Pokemon games, etc. Some of the board game collection are good, as they are alot easier to pick up when you're done playing, and you don't have to worry about losing pieces
Been playing Xenoblade Chronicles (not for kids as it's rated T), which is probably the best RPG to ever hit the Wii. While the graphics can't compete with the other consoles, it's still pretty amazing what they where able to do with the limited graphics on the Wii.
Yeah, Xenoblade is great as well. Have you played Monster Hunter Tri? It's got free online play in instanced areas for small groups, like Guild Wars. Even without the online play it's one of the best Wii games, but the free online (including voice chat with Wii Speak) really pushes it over the edge and rivals the online experiences on the PS3 and 360. If it had been for PS3 or 360, I'm sure it would have been very highly regarded, but it was kind of a sleeper hit, being available only for Wii. If you own a Wii, it's a must-play IMO. Online community is still active and you can get the game for about $10 used. If nothing else, it's proof that the Wii could have been so much more than it was, at least in terms of online experience.
I'll have to give it a try.
Not much for multi player games any more due to lack of time, and having to play after the kids are in bed
I've already spent way too much time on Xenoblade the last few week and need to start getting some sleep
