Sold My Wii

[Guilmon and a shotgun]

The 360's bin games are expired sports titles with increasingly large numbers and a frightening number of Halo clones. But it'd be a mistake to judge a system by its bad games, either in badness or in quantity. The SNES was practically drowning in mascot-themed 2D side-scrollers by the time it retired, but does that make it a bad system?

Firstly, what Halo clones? If you're talking about Mass Effect then i can't help you there, nor with Bioshock because i don't own them.

Warning: Long ass point making below.
Second, you're right about the SNES. I just don't like the controllers that you get with the Wii; I'm all for new technology, just not for the ones that alienate me. For instance, the 360 has wireless controllers. Now, this is an acceptable form of new technology because the old Xbox had roughly the same handsets and making them wireless was just a really good idea. Letting the handset control a movie instead of needing a DVD Remote add-on was also a good idea.
But this wasn't the case for Nintendo. Before the Wii, Nintendo made the Gamecube. This had comfortable handsets, tiny discs and it was very good (although i never bought one); after all it introduced me to SSBM, a truly funtastic game in it's own right. The handsets weren't really bad either, although the thumbsticks were rather annoying as they were curved outwards on the top (not inwards like the 360s) and this caused my sweaty fingers to slide off like they did on the 64.
Now ideally, they would run with the same handset idea, maybe tweak it a little and only change the performance and size right? Nope, Nintendo thought it would be a great idea if they made a completely NEW controller for their new console, one which required you to use physical ability to play your games. One where you could also attach it to many (profitable) pieces of plastic, which were given unique names such as "Wii Blaster" (not Gun for some reason) or "Wiichuck". And thats what i really don't like about the Wii, the controllers were not only wrong but terrible to use!

Take for example if i'm playing Wii Tennis or whatever it's called at Ghostiemon's house, and it's my turn to swing. How am i supposed to know how much power i put behind it and where i swing? I don't get a meter, i don't have any buttons to press, i just swing! and it doesn't work because i swing as hard as i can at the middle of the screen, thinking that the console would sort it out with some hidden handicap system. but no! all i get is a ball clobbered in the net and stress levels that not even Left 4 Dead can endure. So i use the old Gamecube controller instead; this is perfect for playing! it's got the right handset, it's not shaped like an X wing (Nintendo 64 handset) or a phallic object (Wii), it's just two handles and a nice layout of buttons, bumpers and thumbsticks.

I wanted to like the Wii, i really did. i wanted to have my own trippy blue lighted disc drive and being able to play all the great old and new games on it, but now i just can't bare to even look at one anymore. You even admitted Senjuro that you don't even play Brawl anymore. How the hell is it possible to neglect a game where Konami, Sega and Nintendo characters, accompanied by epic music, fight each other into submission? How can a game which was hyped up in the gaming community then suddenly become "Super Smash Bros: Brawl; Meh"?
