about to stand on line for the wii

well im about to go to toys r us and wait on line for the wii. i just got off playing xbox live and couldn't go to sleep so went to grab the sunday paper outside.. i see that toy r us is selling a deal with spiderman 3... i don't really like the game b/c 1 and 2 weren't so good so i'll pass on that. but i have few questions for you wii guys tho ...

 1. what games? .. i'm def going to get smooth moves and paper mario

2. am i fine with just the wii mote or do i have to buy the nun-chuck also? (to play smooth moves and paper mario)

 3. never had a gamecube but i might pick up some used gc games.. do i need to buy the gc remote or can i just buy the classic controller for the wii?

... i might have a few more questions. i'll bring my laptop to keep me entertained for 4 hrs

1. Get Zelda if you like Zelda games.

2. The nunchuck comes in the Wii box.

3. Yes! Yes! Yes! Get Killer7, Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime. You will not regret this I promise you. 

I advise the following:

-Zelda (Wii)

-Gamecube controller

-Gamecube Memory card

- Killer7 (GC)

- Metroid Prime (GC)

To play GC games, you will need a GC controller. The GC controller can also be used for many VC games. I have been playing a few GC games while I wait for new Wii games to come out, and some of them are awesome. Metroid Prime 1&2 and Eternal Darkness are good examples. RE4 is great, but it might be best to wait another six weeks and get the Wii version that is coming out. For right now Zelda and Excite Truck are good games for the Wii.Nomadandsuzie

i've never actually tried it myself, but i think the classic controller does work with GC games.... but tbh, the reason i haven't bothered to try it is that i have the GC waivebird controller, and and that wipes the floor with the classic controller imo...

Incorrect.  You can not use the Classic Controller in place of a GC controller for GC games.

btw, what games would need the wii classic controller?

Wii60 FTW!!!

thanks guys! .. just got back. waited on line for 3 hrs.. got an extra set of wii mote, paper mario and zelda: tp.. i'll stop by gamestop to check out the used gc game. i'll buy a gc controller and a gc memory card when i go.... but how does saving work for wii games? ... i already got a 2gb sd card for my pda. can i just use that? how many virtual games would i be able to fit onto a 2gb? ... thanks a lot again! .. i guess i've give my 360 a break for a lil bitImajinMyFX

How exciting for you! :D

You can use the 2gb SD card from your pda, it should work fine. You'd be able to fit a lot of games on that thing, dont need to worry about that. But remember you can also use the Wii's built in memory for the games. The SD card comes when you need more space to store files you arent using.

Oh and I'd recommend a Classic Controller as well.  GameCube controler works fine but it feels kind of weird when you are trying to play SMB with the lower D pad and all...

I just rented and played through Batallion Wars and I found it to be an amazingly fun game. Now I'm psyched for Batallion Wars II online on the Wii this year. So just another recommendation for old Cube games. -Despacio-
