...Metroid Prime Corruption 3.

I guess you could say I'm the type of gamer where if I'm not winning I want nothing to do with the game. Whenever I play Brawl with other people I always seem to come in dead last, and that frustrates the fuck out of me. And somehow, just playing All star mode to get the "you beat All-star mode with every character," just seems like a moot point when you can't hold your own in multiplayer.

Mario Kart Wii is not quite the same story as I barely play with other people at all, but I just can't get a one star grade, it is impossible. When I do online play I'll come across people with two, three star rankings and I'm like "What kind of miserable existance do you lead?"

And Metroid Prime 3, which I have beaten in Veteran mode, is just fucking boring. Having to go to Hypermode for every fucking boss is not my idea of fun. Plus there is that one level I get nauseas (sp?) in on more than one occasion.

I'll probably trade em in for Twilight Princess, Resident Evil, No More Heroes or something else I can't think of.

Anyone disagree with my choices; philosophy on games?

I'd say go for it. You seem to be not having fun with them anymore. Unlike how I used to (unfortunately) be, where whenever I was stuck in a game I would just trade it in. I lost a lot of good games that way, and it's a bitch remembering how fun they were and trying to track them all down on eBay later.

Do what you please.

However, i tend to be a pack rat with games (I never want to get rid of anything), therefore getting rid of any of those AAA games would never even cross my mind.

On the other hand, considering you have not played Twilight Princess or No More Heroes I suggest it, those are great games.

I have the exact same feeling on video games, Andrew Man. I would never do such a thing with my video games, especially Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.

Keep mario kart. Girls like to play it. It doesn't seem like it would work, but there have been several times that girls have come to my place after the bar to play mario kart. They might have left and thought I was a sketchball when I tried to hook up with them after, but at least I got to say I brought a girl back Wink

Zelda is pretty good. TP wasn't necessarily the most innovative Zelda game ever, but I'd say play it for the sake of playing every zelda game in the series.

If you're really in a pinch, you could bootleg your wii. It's less satisfying than actually buying the game, but a quick google search will give you all the info you need.

Yea, there was actually this one time I was subleting a room from this hot girl, and her three other hot roommates came over to pick some stuff up while I was playing Wii. They saw I had Mario Kart 64 and wanted to play it, so I let em.

Really? I've heard TP is the best Zelda game since Link To The Past.

Eh the storyline is nowhere close to OOT, there really aren't any major innovations and the graphics aren't as good as they could be as it is pretty much a gamecube port. Don't get me wrong - it's a good game and the first game I bought for my wii but I wouldn't add it to my top games list.

You thought Ocarina of Time had a great storyline?

The storyline wasn't as good as ALTTP but certainly better than any of the others. Maybe I was just young when I played it, but it completely sucked me into the world of Hyrule. By far one of my favorite in the series.

I picked up a habit back in high school (96-00) of trading in whatever games I had at the time toward purchasing the next one I wanted. This resulted in my usually having no more than one or two games at a time for my systems. It's not quite as bad, but when I'm certain that I'm done with a game for good, I trade it in. I have/had all three games you mentioned (and then some); traded in Mario Kart Wii because of its asylum-worthy rubberband AI. I traded in Twilight Princess after I'd seen the ending for the 5th time from showing it to my friends. I'm keeping Brawl because it's still fun in multiplayer. I haven't broken all of the glass on the wall of stuff just yet, but I only really break the game out when I have company anyways.

Brawl has multiplayer capabilities, and it's something you can play with friends(I know girls who play this too.). Mario Kart Wii is terrible and incredibly generic in comparison to it's predecessors, so I nominate selling it for a decent amount of money if you want something else. MP3 is great in my opinion, the best in the series, but if you're finding it not your cup of tea, then I guess you could sell it.

Also, No More Heroes is hit or miss for most people. I hate it, as I find it really repetitive, it just makes me think of it as a Dynasty Warriors, but with a dumb main character and no cheesetasticly terrible voiceacting.
