Well, although I see the points, I disagree with them. (Let me point out right now that I'm not a fanboy, I just really like the Wii and don't see many flaws in it)
1. Actually, this is a good point. Friend codes are a bit annoying. It's nice to just be able to play against other humans regardless if you know them or not. Still, I don't see this as a major flaw.
2. I've said it many times before: I don't care about graphics as long as they're decent. In my opinion, the Wii has decent graphics. Sure, they're about the same, maybe a tad bit prettier than the Cube's. But hey, if I was looking for good graphics, I would've gotten a PS3 or 360.
3. That's an opinion. I love Wii Sports, Wii Play is pretty good too. I've played Mario Party 8 and have liked it, played Warioware and have loved it, and based on the reviews of Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario and RE4, I'd say they must be pretty awesome as well. True, their is a good handful of games in the "okay" range, but I want to play those games (such as Red Steel and others) before presuming that I won't enjoy them.
4. Not to be obvious, but the Wiimote is the point of the Wii. The Wii wouldn't be the Wii without the Wiimote. Sure, it's a bit frustrating, but it's still new to developers, so it'll get better over time. Also, it's not too bad once you're used to it. Like the Wii codename "Revolution" the Wiimote may very well be a revolution for gaming.
5. I suppose I have to agree with this one. But hey, there is always the virtual console.
EDIT: Actually, after I thought about it, playing Wii is relaxing. Sure, you may have to move your arms a bit and maybe stand up to get a good sensor postion, but in general it is very relaxing, both physically and mentally.
since the wii jus came out about 9 months ago no one can really say anything bad about it. online is currently bein worked on, i believe there is an option to use friend codes if u want to, the graphics really arent that bad, the games r gradually getting better, i mean it jus takes time to make a system and get everything perfect. so really patience is a virtue.

Here's an article about 5 things bad about Wii. I thought it was kinda interesting. http://www.lasersharks.com/?p=60
If you go to the homepage there's an article for the 360 and one for the ps3 too if you wanna bash them.
-The browser could have been a tab better. The Wii doesn't store enough cookies!
-I don't see anything wrong with add-ons, like the tennis racket. Some younger kids enjoy that, or even older people perhaps. Whatever helps Nintendo become stronger in my opinion.
-I'd like to see a game that pushes the Wii's capabilities, I don't expect one right now, I'd just like to see screenshots or some sort of video.
In our home, we all love it. Just as much as we love the Dreamcast and Super Nintendo. The only thing that it really needs is a vending machine add-on lol.
Edit:I'd just like to add...Friend codes are nice in a way. You know who your'e playing against and don't have to worry about cheaters.
Yeah, come to think of it, I've never been so tired that I can't physically play Wii. Playing it is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Still, I guess I can see how it could not be relaxing to some.
people complain waay too much about having to move while playing games. well god forbid people get off their ass and function, and we wonder why everybody talks sh*t about america being the fattest nation in the world.
People moan about little things too much, the wii's got a long long way to go yet and im sure it'll be even more amazing as time passes. Personally the thing i find most stupid is saying it takes too much effort to play! Theres plenty of games you can play sat back with minimal movement. Even if there wasn't, its no bad thing. Everyone should exercise everyday, and games like wii sports encourage that in alot of people who wouldn't usually. I know i can get just as hot and sweaty while wii boxing as i do when i goto the gym, which is a bloody good thing.
Also about the add ons like tennis racket and stuff, they aren't forcing you to buy them. If you want them, get them. If you don't, just shut up and don't buy them!
My biggest problem with the wii is some of the stupid games they come out with. I mean...zelda? It's pretty much the worst game I've ever played, and anyone who liked it is obviously an idiot. It's pure mind-rot, what kind of redneck would find it enjoyable? I mean...you're controlling some stupid elf who prances through the forest swinging his little sword around and trying to stick it in everything he sees. That's stupid. Hey nintendo, how about some GOOD games, like maybe acquire the Battlefield license, or make a game based on the ninja turtles movie? I mean, seriously, what the hell?
5 bad Wii things (in my opinion)
1. Friend codes
2. No real online interaction
3. not a very powerfull system (graphics)
4. Little storage space
5. Gimick controllers are just...too....much
I agree with the first two things; however, I think 3-5 is just dumb. First off, the Wii has good graphics, Zelda had really awesome graphics. I'm sure you can tell what is going on in the game with the given graphics right?
Second, there is an SD card slot that you can use in front of the Wii, but what is more important is, what are you downloading? So far I have downloaded 12 VC games and stored game info from 6 games and I seem to have a lot of room left.
Finally, the controllers are not a Gimmick, they didn't just slap on motion sensors to a normal controller to sell more, they made this controller from the ground up. They made it because it is easier to use, and even making it into a Zapper, makes it easier to shoot too (I have tried it at E3 and I know first hand). The wheel makes steering easy and all of these "gimmicks" are more than just a piece of plastic, they extend the functionality of the Wiimotes. I'll tell you what's a gimmick though, adding motion sensors to a last gen controller and tossing out a boomerang controller that no one liked.
5 things bad about fedex
1. dosn't comment on anyone else's threads
2. dosn't participate in his own thread
3. who cares about fedex
4. goes to a wii forum and starts shit
5. posts one thing and it is completly useless
1) wiimote uses regular AA batteries (and sucks them down)! The 80's are over people, we have something called lithium ion now and its rechargable...
2) wii discs are hot when you leave them in the console in standby. not good for longevity for the discs and the console!!
3) wii console sounds are annoying
don't get me wrong, the wii is hella fun, but its be better if Nintendo didn't cheap out on this stuff, just to make a profit on the console. At least Ps3 and X360 are selling us a deal with the consoles and we know we are getting our moneys worth.
