What can I do with homebrew? All I've done is region-free'd/DVD'd mine with geko and downloaded a few crummy homebrew games on the HB channel. What else can I do?
I'm not disappointed in the Wii, but I'm hesitant to take the next step. When I bought it, I knew I needed to invest the extra cash in a balance board so I could play Wii ski&snowboard and Shawn White. I keep waiting for a Wii surfing game (SERIOUSLY, WHERE IS IT?!) which hopefully lives up to KSPS, but for now it's hard to justify spending the entire purchase price over again (BB + games ~ USD 200) just to go digital snowboarding.
I liked Wii sports resort. I played the one-player fencing "quest" until my eyes bled. Same for the Wii Sports boxing.
Tried a few RP games like No More Heros and Shattered Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. Both became boring and repetetive pretty quickly, and didn't do enough with the motion controls for my taste.
I was thinking about Monster Hunter Tri, but I hear the same story with the lack of use of motion controls. I loved ICO and Shadow of the Collusus for PS2, and Monster Hunter Tri seems in a similiar spirit. However, the Wii is not a powerful platform. If I wanted to sit down and press buttons, I'd have bought a PS3 or Xbox360.
I hear that one of the zelda's makes good use of the controls, but... he's just so green. And with pointy ears.
Also considering rockband, now there's a BIG investment!
You can hack Mario Kart and cause havoc in online races, but it isn't a good idea unless you join a hacking group. Same with Brawl. However if you are all motion controls then you are going to be bored quickly with the wii as 90% of the games that mainly have motion as its point are kinda stupid, or kiddish. I like most of the games Nintendo made, except for Wii Fit and Wii Music, both I really hate.
I guess I'm one of the few out there, although I am still a teenager. My parents never bothered to get an HDTV, though its not like they can't afford it. There isn't much on the PS3 or 360 I would go for either.
Okay. Scrap what I said above. I just got Donkey Kong Jungle Beat New Play Control off of amazon gift card money (I never owned a Gamecube), and that game is crazy with the motion. Not really a big fan of the motion, as it tires my arms out after 10 minutes because I haven't played a mainly motion controlled game for a while. Its good, its kind of like a side scroller.
There is one thing that I am mad about, but this may be more of a pet peeve.
Mario Kart online sucks sometimes. Because the lower VRed players often are able to attack the people with higher VR repeatedly. I lose a lot of VR when this happens. By the time I'm done with 10 races with this happening, I'm looking for a fight myself. This is bad news for anyone behind me. I think after school starts back I'm leaving the online Mario Kart for good. Anyone want a Mario Kart Wii disc?
Kidding of course.
