Skyward Bored: Anyone's Wii Permanently Shelved After Zelda?

my backlog is deep so no

I finally got Mario Galaxy last weekend

Still playing Zelda TP, Kirby Wii, Kirby Epic Yarn

Also play Just Dance 2 and Golds Gym for my regular workout.
 
Haven't played anything since Zelda (which I beat in January IIRC). I do have several games on the backlog, but since I got a 3DS and playing portable games is much more convenient for me, I haven't touched it since.

I don't have any sense of rhythm (had to ask my brother to beat the mini-game in SS), so I can't play Rhythm Heaven. Not much interest in RPGs. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the Captain Rainbow translation patch.
 
I swore after the Gamecube that I would never depend on Nintendo's release schedule, so no.


It's a fourth console and I treat it that way.
 
I'm still playing it. Just because it doesn't have many current releases doesn't mean that it didn't have releases in the past. I haven't played everything the system has to offer.

The Wii for the most part is a multiplayer machine at this point. Games like Wii Sports/Resort/Party are still fun, and I've been having a blast playing various Mario Party titles on it recently. In fact, Mario Party 9 just came out and I should be getting it in the mail soon. So...there's something.

In terms of single player experiences, I'm still working on Kirby's Epic Yarn, which I only bought a few months ago. Never finished Sonic Colors, either. I also have Metroid: Other M still sitting there in its shrink wrap. I have some uncompleted Virtual Console/Wiiware games as well, especially since my brother took the liberty of buying a couple of them during the last month.

As someone who owns a Wii, X360, 3DS, DS Lite, and now a gaming-capable laptop as primary gaming systems, I can't understand why people are so easily "done" with any of them. Again, even in times when new releases are sparse, do people really keep up with the many worth-playing titles at release? I'm way behind and I'm never going to catch up.

I could probably see it back in 2007/2008, but in 2012 it's just weird to hear when people have nothing else to play on their Wii. I guess if you don't play it with friends you might run out of uses for it, but for the average person it seems like there's always something to play, barring personal taste.
 
I went back to Disaster : Day of Crisis. If you like Time Crisis, get it! It's very fun, totally over the top and crazy as a japanese game. Lots of different gameplays and short sequences. It's quite long too with a nice replayability :)
 
Mines been in the closet getting dust since Trauma Team was released and beaten (I was the 10K sales. ;___;). I may get Xenoblade, but not at launch. Depends on how available it is and when it goes a bit cheaper since Nintendo took forever to release it.
 
I've got a huuuge backlog on Wii.

Pandora's Tower looks interesting too, will try that when the price goes down. Also I'm still hoping for Rythm Fever to be released in Europe.
 
I finished Last Story recently. Currently playing Mega Man X, which was recently released on VC in Europe. After that, I'll be waiting for Pandora's Tower, Rhythm Heaven and Project Zero 2.

My Wii will probably start gathering dust after Wii U is released.
 
After beating Skyward Sword back in December I took a little break from the Wii and just recently started up Okami. Will continue to play it and complete it by the time Xenoblade Chronicles is released. After that I am looking to purchase and play The Last Story. I do have a backlog of games to play for the Wii though that I must start soon. I will start those probably in between Xenoblade and The Last Story. I did just purchase a Wii about 6 months ago so that probably has much to do with my backlog.
 
I enjoyed Zelda SS. After that I enjoyed playing Fishing Resort and recently I saw Sin and Punishment 2 for €16 in stores, so I will probably get that one soon. I still have a nice backlog for the system, so my Wii will get plenty of playtime.
 
Nope. VC games I still need to beat, Xenoblade, Last Story, other games in my backlog like Baten Kaitos II, and I go back and mess around in Kirby Return to Dreamland, Mario Galaxy 1/2, New Mario Bros, DK Jungle Beat, Smash Bros Brawl, and Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

If you're talking about the NA version, it'll probably get more expensive seeing how limited the release will be.
 
Well, according to Backloggery I've got 19 unfinished games that I already own plus another 19 on WiiWare and 6 on Virtual Console. All of that together with a wishlist of 7 retail games and 2 WiiWare games. I've also either beaten or completed 83 Wii/WW/VC games and I only play games I think I'm gonna like.

The Wii has been my main console since it came out and it's going to keep me busy for some time to come. Actually, there are a lot of games that I want to replay but haven't had a chance to because of my backlog. So no, I'm not gonna shelve it.
 
I don't think I've shelved any console. My SNES is still set up and ready to go!

With Xenoblade coming out shortly, various classics on VC, Metroid Prime Trilogy. My Wii still gets a lot of use.
 
System will probably still be in use even after the Wii U hits...unless they let us transfer all downloaded content over to the U.
 
For the most part yes. I'm pretty much just gonna use my PS3/3DS with a little 360 mixed in, while I wait for the Wii U.
 
Mine's been in storage since Galaxy 2 launched mid-2010.

Nothing has released since Galaxy 2 that excites me enough to dig out my console. Metroid Other M became an industry joke; DKCR and Zelda came close, but both have irksome elements that turned me off right away based on comments. DKCR with the waggle moves, and Zelda for being another dumb modern Zelda with all the issues that entails. All of the complaints against SS sound near identical to the same garbage I hated in TP.

So the Wii began and ends its lifespan with disappointing Zelda games. :/
 
Hopefully NOA helps fill out 2012 with a decent VC lineup. There's a ton of great stuff in the pipeline (MegaMan X2, Lufia, Monster World IV, SSF2 online, Double Dragon II, Adventure Island II, Metal Slug 3, Samuari Showdown IV, etc, etc) and it's getting to the point where it's now or never.
 
Yeah. I thought Zelda would have revitalized its purpose but I didn't even beat it. I beat the first dungeon, got to the second, and just stopped.

I was pretty unimpressed.
 
I still play my Wii everytime I go home. I plan on finishing and 100% Skyward's Hero Mode, as well as getting Mario Party 9, Xenoblade, The Last Story, and a host of other great games I missed in the Wii's life cycle.

I also need to 100% SMG2 and DKCR...so my Wii will be in use for quite some time.
 
For me it's the other way around, the Wii is the only console I still (albeit not very often) play. At least it's got a good range of local multiplayer games. I've pretty much gone handhelds + mobile + PC last year.
 
The dust has fused with my Wii, need to scrub it clean. Looking forward to Xenoblade, Last Story, and might get around to Zelda...maybe.
 
I doubt I will shelve my Wii anytime before the Wii U comes out. I did enjoy Skyward Sword, Xenoblade is coming out, and there is still the Virtual Console. I still need to go back and get more stars in SMG 2. Heck, I still haven't played nearly as much New Super Mario Bros. Wii as I would have liked.
 
Nope.. been playing a lot of Smash Bros and some Wii Sports from time to time.

I'm looking forward to Xenoblade..
 
I have a few sealed wii games I haven't played yet but I disliked Skyward Sword so much that I boxed up my wii and sold the golden wii remote.

I am sure I will play my wii again, just not anytime soon.

I think the last big release I was anticipating before Skyward Sword was No More Heroes 2.
 
The beauty of not playing as much as I used to means the Wii could last me for another couple of years. I have around 15 games in my backlog, and there is at least that many games I'd still love to buy.

I think I have somewhere around 50 titles that I've played through.
 
Made a new character on MHTri, this time a gunner. I have at least 100 more hours to play in that game. Then of course Xenoblade and maybe the last story. And I'll keep playing Mario Kart till I have 4 accounts with 9999 VR. Halfway there...
 
Wii games bought or about to buy after Zelda:

Got
The Last Story
Mario Party 9

To buy
Rhythm Paradise
Pandora's Tower


Still playing Xenoblade and PES.

3DS games are monopolising my gaming time now.
 
I'm still playing MH Tri and I have Xenoblade to look forward too. There's also the Last Story which I'm also interested in and I still have to play Rhythm Heaven so yeah, I'm not gonna shelve my Wii anytime soon.
 
My Wii has evolved into my go-to classic gaming machine. Sure the virtual console has been slim pickings lately but there are still a ton of gems I've yet to play. VC is way better than emulators in my opinion.

You could try those games and form your own opinion, maybe because of the low expectations you'll enjoy them. :p
 
Since finishing Xenoblade and Skyward Sword last year, I went back to replaying old titles including Punch-Out!!, Super Mario Galaxy 2 (first 60 stars), Sin & Punishment 2, No More Heroes 2, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Sin & Punishment, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits, and Lost Winds: Winter of the Melodias.

I'm currently playing through Donkey Kong Country Returns and Monster Hunter Tri (as usual, but I have recently started to use the great sword). That reminds me, I still need to go back to Majora's Mask! I haven't touched it in weeks. Anyway, I plan on starting a new file for Red Steel 2 probably next week. Later this year, I'll tackle Skyward Sword, Killer7, and GoldenEye 007 again, and perhaps even Xenoblade (Not sure if new game plus is worthwhile and it's a daunting task to do all those side quests again despite being optional).

I don't play on buying any more Wii games except maybe Retro City Rampage (comes out in May for $15). If Dragon Quest X offers extra features in addition to better graphics, then I'll wait for the Wii U version.

Same here.

I don't know, just hasn't feel like there's any good games. Also I'm not a fan of the shovelware and lackluster ports.

I guess I'll wait for Xenoblade before selling it.
 
Skyward Sword is definitely the last new game I plan on buying (already played JP versions of Xenoblade and TLS). I thought about packing it up but there are still a lot of Wii and GC games I plan on replaying (I'm looking at you Killer 7).
