Not really. I've enjoyed most of the games that I bought. Of course, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was only worth it because of the in-game hijinks that I got into with my sister.

I usually research my games well before buying, but the game I found most disappointing for the wii was Strikers charged. They just made it too crazy. And I don't get the brawl haters either, but being a lover of the game, I'm not going to start a discussion on it

God
Melee, you thought those games were going to be good?
um, for me..the only one I can remember is Drawn To Life.
So much potential. I played it far longer than it earned.
And, um...Halo 2.
EDIT: Oh, and the Wii itself.
I have a feeling that if I had gone for a 360 instead, I would be much happier.

Those who say the Wii itself is a disappointment are either...
a) Too lazy to dig through the shovelware crap to find the good games.
b) Fanboys
c) Ignorant
All three platforms have a great library... yes, even the PS3. But with the Wii, the good games aren't gonna stare in your face. You have to look for them beneath the heap of crap games.

People are always trying to get attention or make themselves look like some sort of veteran or elite person by saying they don't like something. And I'm not just saying this because of Nintendo. Take Halo for example. How is Halo 2 "better than Halo 3?" (I hear a lot of Halo people say this... funny thing is, is that a lot of them haven't even played the first game)
You need something to back yourself up or you need to be more specific. Let's take AC for example. I might say I like AC (GCN) better than ACWW, but that's because I don't like handheld games in general. Or I might say I think Nintendo could have done a better job. Or I could point out a specific thing and say the fact that there is only one house is more bad than the new-and-improved features are good.
Bul, I would say this is #2 of your list. Except it's like Hateboy... opposite of fanboy. While a fanboy is obsessed with saying how great a game is for no valid reason, a "hateboy" (heh) is obsessed with saying how much it sucks for no apparent reason. And they might compare it to their favorite as well.

Excellent post, I totally agree. Apparently it's "cool" to hate on the classics. Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, you name it... a lot of these games are getting a surprising amount of hate lately, and for no apparent reason.stormcommander said:
Or how about all that Twilight Princess hate? First it was the Holy Grail, and then it was "the worst Zelda ever"? Makes no sense to me...
Personally, I like AC GCN better than ACWW, and I can also back myself up.
a) the frame-rate was lower in ACWW (hovering near 25fps compared to AC GCN's I think 60), resulting in a lot of "lag" even in singleplayer
b) furniture limitations in house
c) it was on a handheld, I prefer console games
d) they cut out NES games, and some of my favorite furniture items
etc.
So yeah. If someone wants to say something, especially something inflammatory, they gotta be prepared to back themselves up.
People hyped brawl way too much.
That is what happens when you sit here on a message board talking about a game, scrutinizing every last detail, and getting your hopes up far higher than any designer will be able to satisfy.
If you all expected brawl to be so amazing, you were all just that ********.
Sure, I'll agree, it wasn't as tremendous a leap forward as Melee was, but it was still Smash... You can all be critics, but only Yahtzee can point out everything worth *CEN-4.01-SORD*ing about.

Yep, I honestly thought those games would be good.dragonflamez said:
I thought that the Mario Party advance game would be just like the traditional Mario Party games, but it turns out that you can't even do a standard party mode with four people. Instead, you have to go through a ridiculous adventure mode. Also, you can only play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi.
Then there's Rebel Strike. I thought it might be awesome to fly ships and shoot down TIE's, but after playing for awhile, I just got bored quickly.
And, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics was a total waste of money. The games are just plain boring. I thought Nintendo would find away to make it more interesting like they do with their other sports games.
But, I have only myself to blame. Bottom line, I should done some research before buying.
It was for the GBA.. what were you guys expecting?Koehler said:
Not only is it impossible to find 4 people and all the necessary equipment to just play the darn thing, but it's on a handheld, which just makes it lame... you can't have a party on a two and a half inch screen, doesn't work.
Same goes for the DS.

Hmm, Disappointments? I think the most recent one for me would be Halo 3.
