Is having good games the only thing that is required for a console to be good?Ah ah, one of the weirdest statement I've read on GAF (of all places).
And don't think I'm agreeing with what he said, I'm asking you.

IMO, yes. Wii plays a ton of great games, therefore I think it's a great system.Is having good games the only thing that is required for a console to be good?
I can't disagree more, arguably the worst console I've ever owned. Worst Smash Bros, worst Mario Kart, worst Zelda, worst Metroid Prime, Its only saving grace is Mario Galaxy, which are incredible. I think the Wii U has already surpassed it.
Disagree. Out of all the consoles I've ever owned, it's the one I've used the least.
lmaoooAnd I can't disagree more with your statement. The Wii U is a total failure, compared to ANY Nintendo consoles. And its sales prove that.
Worst Smash Bros? I can't really get the difference between Smash Wii U and Brawl and I have both, except for the nice story mode in Brawl. Worst Mario Kart? Well, yes MK8 is better I give you that. Worst Metroid Prime? Nah. Prime 3 was great. Worst Zelda? Eh, WiiU doesn't even have its own Zelda game. Atleast Wii had one which was pretty good (but also the worst in the 3D series, yes I agree with that)
And most of those games you mentioned aren't yet on Wii U which is extremly disappointing.
I weekly hook up 25 years old console to play old games (what features do you think a 25 years old console could have? Just the right one ;-) ).Is having good games the only thing that is required for a console to be good?

The Wii was great. People trying to disconnect the awesome game library it had from the console itself don't do that with the Super Nintendo, or the PlayStation 1 I would bet. They just say, "that console was great".
For me it had a lot of really good games, and therefore it's a good console.
lmaooo
sure
When you compared it against the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, the Wii looks really anemic. To me, it was the first time that a console won in market share without winning in terms of game library and features.
At the same time, I understand that the Wii's audience wasn't the same as the other two systems. To that audience, and long-time Nintendo fans, maybe the Wii's offerings were pretty good?
Nobody's even mentioned the three Trauma Center games on the Wii yet.

It had lots of great niche titles. Trauma Team and Sin and Punishment 2 being my favorites. It also gave us the amazing Punch Out revival.
I disagree. I think, for example, Metroid Prime and Pikmin work better with the Wii Remote. Can't go back to traditional controls.I have to disagree. The Wii was the worst console I've ever owned. The motion controls ruined everything to me. Every game they were featured in was made worse because of them.

What are the "many mediocre or of discutible quality games"?
What are the "many mediocre or of discutible quality games"?It was so good that you had to include many mediocre or of discutible quality games in your list.

In what world is Kirby's Return to Dreamland the worst.worst Kirby game,
I kinda feel the Wii library stomps all over the Gamecube's.
I didn't even know there were three. Megaton.
The last console with a worthwhile selection of lightgun games.
Gladius, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, Rogue Squadron, Freedom Force, Pikmin, Tales of Symphonia, and non-motion control Metroid Prime.
Mmmnope. GameCube forever. Selling it is one of my biggest regrets.

Wii is also a GameCube though

Though I agree with you that the Wii did lack features other console had and I wished for them to be there, what else defines a console more other than the library?
