?Is it worth it?

My brothers and I are thinking about getting a Wii. Now it definately looks very fun, Madden 08, Mario Strikers Charged, Zelda, Ghost Squad, and MLB Power Pros and a few others are what we'd get. I just have some Questions.

Is the system fun?

Is it worth the 250?

Is it repetitive?

Does Wii Sports come with it?

Thanks

I appreciate the feedback.

thanks

1.Many of its games are fun.

2.IMO yes.

3.Consoles don't get repetitive, only certain games.

4.Yes it does.

Oh, and if you what a game that'll challange your brain, I seriously recommend looking into Zack and Wiki. The puzzles are excellent (except perhaps for the very early ones), and I can think of no game that exploits the Wii controls nearly as well.

2. Simply put: yes.

3. What do you mean? Everything can get repetitive if you play too much. And it's more about the games than the console. Bad games get repetitive earlier, but when they do, you know it's time to buy a new game. Same as with every system.

4. Everywhere else except Japan. You'll need another Wiimote to get the most fun out of it though. Party (and most sport) games are nothing without friends. On the bright side, you get Wii Play with new Wiimote.

Wii is worth all it's money. You will have a great time playing games on Wii. Zelda is very good, and the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy is looking amazing.

So my recommodation: Go and buy a Wii.

1. imo.. yes.. I`m 27 yo.. I consider myself a hardcore gamer (a broke one now, reason why i do not own a 360 :( ) But most of my friends are casual gamers or even non-gamers. With the Wii I have made 3 great parties. and even the non-gamers had a blast. And as a gamer myself.. I love the system (there was a time when it was just standing there, I got it almost at launch. But now the library is growning with great games :) )

2. Yes.. imo... Now, i would advice you to look at the library of games and see if you would like more than a couple of games.

3. :? Wii play.. yes. Others like MP3, RE4, Zelda TP, Super paper Mario, and others coming up... NO!! :)

4. yes. And is a great game for parties :P Would pry add Mario and Sonic if after the rent i like it :)

Oh and if you are a old-school gamer... you may like the VC :) (no a good think for your pocket... :lol: )

1. Uh....yeah, no doubt.
2. Yep, worth the $250. You get Wii Sports, one Wii Remote and one Nunchuk attachment, though, so you're going to have to shell out for extra controllers: $40 for each Remote and $20 for each Nunchuk.
3. It's a matter of opinion on which games you play.
4. Like stated, yep.

I think it's worth noting that THE game to get for Wii is Super Mario Galaxy. Ghost Squad, Madden, and Mario Strikers Charged look very good for multiplayer, too. Not to mention Brawl...

i have got a wii my self it is really good. The system is great fun with lots of friends. 250 what !!!!! i got mine for 180. it depends if you really want the wii for xmas you should get it. yes wii sports does come with it. i am recommeing some games you should get for it if you do get the wii you should get zelda twilight princess, mertroid prime corruption, super mario gaxley i would definitly get these games.
