That's why I bought a Wii, though. If it weren't for Wii Sports and the possibility of playing other games that are radically different than the ones I've been playing for the past 15 years, I wouldn't have bought one. All I want is another Wii Sports. I think Wii Fit is a good idea, but I don't want a balance board to deal with.
In the meantime I end up buying the Nintendo rehashes. And I like 'em. That's my problem -- I'd like a 360 and a PS3 and a new PC. But I'm afraid of all the money I'd spend.

I'm a jaded, cheap gamer. I haven't picked up a PS3 because it's too much money and not many of the titles are appealing to me, and I don't want a 360 because most of the games I want to play wind up being available for the PC. I like a few of the titles on the Wii, but I want to wait till the price of the Wii drops and a few more unique titles are out. I'm a Nintendo fan so I'd happily play my way through all the rehashes, but I know I won't enjoy Mario Galaxy like I enjoyed Super Mario 64. I don't think anything at this point will bring back those amazing memories, or inspire me to beat the game over 10+ times. The same goes for all the Nintendo franchise titles, but what can you do. I just wish more Nintendo fans would be honest and admit that they're just suckers for more of the same old. I'd pay for Ocarina of Time 2. In fact, I did, I bought Wind Waker.
The Wii has the mutliplayer down for sure. If I get a Wii I'll definitely be getting it for the 4-player awesomeness that it rocks at. Nintendo may have dropped the online ball, but they know how to make mutliplayer in person fun. I still take out the Gamecube and N64 just to do 4-player in Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Mario Party, and Super Smash Bros.
