5 Reasons to Buy a Wii

I recently came across an Article online spouting 5 good reasons for buying a Wii. The 5 reasons, according to the article, are as follows:
  1. Controls are intuitive.
  2. Everyone loves it. (I would argue this point. "Everyone" is a big word. Throughput my gaming experience, I have spoken with many people who do not love the Wii. More on this in a moment.)
  3. It's Nintendo.
  4. Less expensive games than other systems. (Mostly, but sometimes not.)
  5. It's family friendly. (Since it's inception, maybe too family friendly.
So there you have it. Umm, actually, no. I would like to offer my take on 5, no, actually 6,  good reasons for buying a Wii. Ready?
  1. Red Steel 2.
  2. Monster Hunter Tri.
  3. Metroid Other M.
  4. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
  5. The Conduit 2
  6. As can be seen by the list of games above, game developers are recognizing the need for developing hard core games for the Wii utilizing it's full potential, as well as the fact that it can be done with the Wii.
Now, as for those who do not love the Wii, I believe that lack of love is due to the family friendly thing, and the fact that the Nintendo arena has been severely lacking in hard core gaming development, and too much time spent on family friendly games. I believe that is changing, as stated above. So, for those of us out there who are Wii and hard core gaming lovers, get the word out. The Nintendo world is changing.
