Well I know this is the Wii forum, but i would just like to know your side of things. Do you think that the Wii is good for me. I already have a xbox 360 and my B-Day is coming up and my parents wanted to know what i wanted. To help you make a decision for me, i like shooters, fps, tps(third person), i hate scary games, i love online play, and i love online competitive gaming AKA MLG and Gamebattles. I also like Free-Roam games such as Saints Row or GTA4. I also like sports games such as NBA 2k7, NHL 07 and Madden. So do you think the Wii is for me??

No. Maybe in a few years, but right now there aren't enough games that you'd like that you couldn't get on the 360.

Online just started today with Pokemon Battle Revolution. Then there are other games which will be released later which have online, including Mario Strikers and (hopefully) Smash Bros. Brawl. There are very few sports games right now, with Madden being the most highly-rated. There are GTA-type games on the Wii now, such as The Godfather and Scarface, but not a lot of exclusive games like that. This could change in the next few years (hopefully), and if it does then you can pick it up at a discounted price. But right now, I don't think the Wii is for you.

It's very early for you to decide because the Wii is still fairly new. As for sports games I'm waiting for a hockey game to be announced as well as a basketball game. The Bigs comes out tomorrow...which I'm hoping is good since I liked Wii sports. Any of your friends have a Wii? If so give Madden a try. The only FPS game that's highly anticipated is Metroid Prime. So far the only game I play for multiplayer purposes is Rayman.

You're better off waiting until the fall/winter to get one, if you want my honest opinion. Your 360 should do you just fine until then. I'm waiting until probably Christmas to pick one up for myself, there are enough upcoming games on the 360 to keep me plenty busy until then.

Wii fps games- Call of Duty 3: GS Rating 7.2/10

Far Cry Vengeance; GS Rating 5.5/10

Medal of Honor Vangurd: GS Rating 5.5/1

Red Steel: GS Rating 5.5/10

As for future fps games, there is Brothers in Arms: Double time, Metroid Prime 3, and MoH Airbourne. But as of now, nothing very good in the FPS category.

Wii tps games- (some may not be shooters) Prince of Persia: Rival Swords: GS Rating 7.2/10

Godfather: Blackhand edition: GS Rating 7.6/10

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition: GS rating 9.1/10

Splinter Cell: Double Agent: GS Rating 6.2/10

POTC: At Worlds End: GS Rating 5/10

Scarface: World is Yours: GS rating 5.8/10

LoZ:Ocarina of Time: GS Rating 8.9/10

LoZ: Twilight Princess: GS rating 8.8/10

As for tps games, there are some good one out for the wii. However, many of these are NOT traditional shooters, just third-person. there are also some more tp games comin out, such as GRAW 2, Manhunt 2, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Tomb Raider Anniversary. Right now, your best wii tps is Resident Evil 4, however iti is a scary game.

I also am an x360owner and enjoy fps and tps games. i will be gettin a wii soon, because i like the mario games(Smooth Moves, SSBB, Galaxy, SPM) and also want Metroid 3 and Twilight Princess. If you dont enjoy the light-hearted mario games or third-person action-adventure games, and are solely relying on the wii for fps and tps games, you shouldnt get it.

your best bet is too stay with the 360 and wait for halo 3, BFBC, COD4, GoW 2, Mercs 2, and White Gold.

but hey, maybe we can play on live sometime=)

The Wii is a completely different gaming experience from every other console I have ever played. It's different because the new controllers engage the player. The movements make you part of the game. Not only that, but just the entire interface from when you start the game up to when you launch a game... It feels like my old NES, a console that still remains near and dear to my haert. With that said, there are some things the console lends itself well to and others perhapds not so well. I have yet to play a shooter, but the motion sensor seems a little too twitch for a game that requires a dead pan shot and the online play, well, it seems to be chancy at best so far. For now, your probably better off to purchase a XBox 360 or a PS3.

Maybe later when more FPS games come out. It doesn't seem to me that you would like the Wii right now, because the best FPS game on the Wii is Resident Evil 4 and you said you don't like scary games. When Metroid Prime 3: Corruption comes out then maybe check into it again.

Since your a shooter fan, you would probably enjoy Metroid Prime 3. After that Battalions Wars II hits which is online and has some of the greatest war gameplay you'll see. Madden 07 on the Wii was received very well. You wont get the graphics you get with 360, but the controls more than make up for it. Madden 08 Wii improves what was so good about 07. If graphics is all you care about then you dont need a Wii. Live 08 is also coming out for Wii. Even though you said you like NBA 2K which will not be coming to the Wii this year. You still have your 360 so that should'nt be a problem. I'd say go for it. The way the Wii is selling, you might not be able to find one later. Madden 08, Metroid Prime 3, Battalion Wars 2 will keep you very busy.....
