  • My biggest issue with the Wii.

    Games are hard to come by. Despite the fact that they've been out for at least a couple months, finding some games such as Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Guitar Hero 3 or Rock Band has been nothing short of an impossible task.

    I don't really understand why Nintendo has such logistics problems, but it's really pissing me off. I'm tempted to retire my Wii entirely.

        I don't think you can blame Nintendo, I have no problems locating most Wii games in Denmark.

          Trust me when I say that I blame the retailers too.

          However, I waited patiently for Guitar Hero 3 to come out for the Wii many months after the initial release for the PS3 and X-box 360 - only to discover that there hasn't been a tangible copy of it in the entire lower mainland for the better part of six months, simply due to licensing issues and logistical problems between Nintendo, the third-party developer and whatever shipping companies they have. Of course I blame the retailers for this too... but when Walmart, London Drugs, EBgames, Future Shop, Bestbuy, Circuit City and even more non-franchise game sales retail outlets say the same thing that it's a problem with nintendo, I find myself more apt to believe them over Nintendo who still fails to recognize this problem on their forums and customer service replies.

          Everyday seeing that PS3 and X-box 360 version on the shelf, was torture for me... I finally just gave up and got it for the PS3.

          I still want Fire Emblem though, since I can't get it on the PS3 or X-box 360.

            yeh i know what you mean. i borrowed Mario Kart for a day or two and loved it so tried buying it. that was nearly 2 months ago and i still don't have it.
            i have it ordered on play.com, and check the shops if i'm passing too, but to no prevail as of yet. all i can do is hope.

              There back in stock in store at the minute, not for too long though matey. But yeah Nintendo are the worst for this sort of thing.

                I don't usually have trouble finding games for my Wii.. well, I should say, games that are out. The lack of blockbuster games for the system is kind of a downfall.

                  This is where ordering online can really help, You can find all of those titles besides mario kart somewhere online.

                    Its not surprising. The Wii has out-sold than the 360 already, and the 360 came out a full year earlier.

                    Its in extremely high demand still.

                    Its mostly because of high demand that you'll have problems, not because of nintendo. I have never really had much trouble finding anything for it as long as I looked looked around a bit and waited 3 months after it initially came out.

                              Does anyone else have a Nintendo Wii Display Issue? Anyone else having issues with little weird looking things on your Wii Home/Channels and games you know aren't supposed to be there? Sometimes they barely appear and other times they're big enough to annoy you in your opponents court in Tennis. I just recently noticed it's moved away from just games and it seems to be on my Wii Channels/home... Pretty much anywhere thats light colored you'll see this weird lines and stuff.. I think this is an already known issue, but I'm not sure if its recent because I just bought mine 3 weeks ago and I see threads dating about this subject since Feb.. soo, whats the deal with nintendo and what can I do about this?
