Hope to have you in the nintendo club.
There are many reasons to get the wii. The wii has an amazing motion control system, that really brings out the "action" in gaming. Imagine interacting with things in the enviroment such as opening doors, loaded weapons, and just simulating the things on the screen.
I recommend some mini games at first, just to get the feel of the wiimote. These include wario ware smooth movies, raving rabbids. These games also are fun for family and friends when they come over. Its like, lets see if you can keep up and keep moving kinda games.
For great new Wii games, you have, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Resident Evil 4, The Godfather : Blackhand edition. Loads of gameplay time. You'll have fun waiting for the next release.
For some old school/new school feel there are game like super paper mario, metal slug anthology.
Those are some of the Wii games out right now. There are much more to tinker around with.
In the virtual console you get to play a lot of the older school games, like original mario, mario kart 64, ninja gaiden, older zelda's which are fantastic, also the older metroid primes. Needless to say there is a lot of contect from nes, snes, 64, turbo grafix , and sega. Every monday, you get new releases.
There are still loads of games that are going to come out fo the wii. Not just kiddy games either, don't let the graphics fool you, this system is about content, and about interactivity, not much flashy lights, graphics, eye candy. Hey, I'm going to admit, i would love to have it, but so far i think the strategy isn't the worst. Although next generation they better let these shinanigans go and get with it. But anywhoo, the system is very fun. The games like metroid prime 3 and twilight princess don't look bad at all in my opinion though, and still offer loads of fun. If all you play games for is its graphics then stay away, you won't get much out fo the wii, but if you enjoy playing the game for its story, for just playing it, then give the wii a try.
Other problems with the wii are its weird online system, you need friend codes to play other people if not you get matched with someone around the world, who might be like uber times better than you, a hacker, or wateva and you'll be @#$!#%$ at the screen while you get owned lol. Hey it happens. The friend code is annoying because you can't just meet other people or talk to them and play you have to know people and coordinate a time to play. I suggest you join some wii forums so you get to exchange friend codes with people and have more people to play with once the online games start coming in. Right now you have a few games with online gameplay. Mario Strikers Charged for example.
Anticipated games are manhunt 2, very adult, very graphic, very wanted. Other remastered classics offered are the new mario game, mario galaxy, the new mario kart, the new super bro brawl. All coming out soon too, in the next few months.
This system came out this year and is still evolving. There are so many games, old and new to try.
If you can find out and buy it, I think you will enjoy it. When your friends come over they will also. If one of your friends drinks a lot and then starts playing, its going to be hillarious to watch him. ahHhhmmmm. hahhaha.
Good luck.
