I'm trying to decide between a 360 and a wii, I have a PC that I use to play COD4, WoW, Day of Defeat etc. I've looked thru some of the WII game listings and a few jump out at me, Zelda, MLB08, No More Heros, but then it seems to turn into alot of games that seem set on the younger crowd. Am I missing out on some "older" oriented games?
More "adult" games? No not pron lol

ok you dont want pron, but would you like "porn?"
lol jokes, xbox is the one for you, im an inbetweeny kinda guy, so i have both
wiis line up is really strong, b xbox already has games good enough so 360 imo just in your situation, i personally prefer wii
if ur more on the side of a hardcore gamer, which i think u are judging from the game u play on pc, then get a 360. their online play is much better and games are better although i do believe that wii will catch up with the 360 in most aspects this year at E3. nintndo said they're releasing a "gamer's" game

There are some games that are great (and I'm 23 so I'm kind of old).
Including the games you mentioned, Resident Evil 4 is amazing, along with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. You should know about RE4 (only 30$ or cheaper everywhere) so check that out. RE:UC is a on rails shooting game which I happened to like.
Metroid 3 is a first person shooter which is a great game (just like the first two Primes). And of course, the ever so controversial Manhunt 2 game. It's been toned down from the first one, but it's still brutal and sick in a twisted way.

I'm almost 33 and I prefer the Wii over the XBox.
I have Zelda, Metroid, and Resident Evil. There are plenty more "adult" games out there. Besides the ones already mentioned:
Medal of Honor Heroes 2
The Godfather
Need for Speed Prostreet
Tomb Raider

Stop trying to convince him Wii has more "adult" games which btw, some of the games you guys are listing sucks.
Wii shines in it's 1st party games which most of them are "childish". Not that they're not fun, they are fun, but they're not "Adult" type games. Zelda, Metroid Prime, SMG, SSBB, RE4 etc. are some good games. The rest of the games are mediocre at best, even Medal of Honor: Hereoes 2, which is the Wii's CoD4 divided by 10.
But the 360 is what you are looking for. Think of the 360 as a cheap PC with a great online and alot more games. Some of my games are...
Call of Duty 4
The Orange Box
Gears of War
Mass Effect
Call of Duty 2
Oblivion
Fable - Fable is Xbox's Zelda, but more serious because you can kill whoever you want, it has blood, etc. Plus the gameplay, is just fun as hell. Sadly it's short though, very short but still worth it and Fable 2 is coming this Fall which is gonna be way better.
Halo
These are more "adult" games that aren't so "childish" and im guessing thats what you are looking for. Also if you were looking at No More Heroes, 360 has Ninja Gaiden II coming soon which is gonna be No More Heroes, but way better.

I'm not saying it has more adult games than the Xbox or PS3. I'm saying it has more adult games than he's listed or perhaps aware of. He asked if he was "missing out" on some other adult-ish Wii games. The answer is "yes".T3kNi9e said:
If you're going to take everything as a personal affront to your precious 360, perhaps you shouldn't be hanging around on a Wii forum.
In your opinion. Meanwhile, some of us like them. Some of the games you listed suck, in my opinion.

No **** it's in my opinion, Im the one who said it. Do I need to label everything with "IN MY OPINION"
Also it had nothing to do with the 360 or even PS3. It had to do with the Wii. The guy is asking whether a 360 or a Wii would be better for adult games. Obviously Wii has some adult orientated games, but why even bother listing them if you already know that the 360 would be better suited for him. You are not helping him by listing those games, you are just gonna screw him over.
He would end up going down the line saying "God damn, I shouldn't have listen to that idiot, there's still almost nothing else left, while 360 and PS3 are getting everything"
Thats just like when I first got to these forums and asked about GOOD games thats worth buying for the Wii EXCLUDING obvious good ones like Zelda and Metroid Prime and you know what everyone says? "Get Zelda, thats a good game and Metroid Prime 3 is pretty good too"
The point is, stop beating around the bush and get straight to the pussy. Tell em whats up.

Well, get the 360 first. Don't miss the first party Nintendo though. Not like an adult can't have fun with are #1 face of video games plumber pal.
The AI in most 3rd party Wii FPS games suck.

I agree
360 first because I can tell it would be your style, but if your a gamer, then it would be a good idea to get a Wii in the future because Nintendo's first party games are still good even for adults. Sadly there's only a few because Nintendo isn't some kind of godlike game developing machine.

Actually, no. Read his post. He asked one, and only one, question:T3kNi9e said:
He is, and I listed them.
Are you totally unable to discuss something without insulting anyone who disagrees with you? Do you think it adds credibility to your argument, or somehow makes you seem "cool"? You calling me an "idiot" is uncalled for, unnecessary, and out of line. Especially since I was only answering the actual question the original poster asked.

I can see he said that, I saw it the first time I read his post. But one of the first things he said was he's trying to decide between a 360 and Wii. Then he said the type of games he said, so why even bother when you know the Wii doesn't have those types of games. You could hold the amount of adult orientated games for the Wii in one hand.
I see what T3kNi9e is saying, I mean yeah this is a "Wii forum" and I love my Wii but I'm not going to push it on someone and end up screwing them over because that's what will happen if someone buys a Wii for adult games - they'll get screwed. So I would say to this guy GET A 360 and then if you have the money and you like Nintendo first-party games, get a Wii too.
