i actually think the wii is a great complimentary system for the PC (also a big PC gamer fan here :D). theres very little cross over between games. the controller also feels nicer to use compared to a normal controller imho, its alot more accurate. in some ways the wii and PC are similar, in others they are complete opposites...which is nice imho.
if ure not interested in any of ninties own games though then it might not be worth ure while.
anywho:
for fighting there is brawl coming along. this is greatly anticipated and hopefully it delivers. i greatly enjoyed the last one on the GC so im also looking foreward to it. its not ure traditional fighter mind, u dont just knock health off someone.u need to knock them out of the arena. great fun though, especially in multiplayer. if that doesent interest u then soul caliber 2 might be of interest. this is a GC game mind so u will need a GC memory card and controller but its considered to be one of the great fighting games. there are also some ol school fighters like street fighter on the virtual console.
action adventure: well theres zelda of course, great game. no more heros is also suppose to be very good. if u want a reminder of the old broken sword days then zack and wiki might also be of interest. not big on the story front but the puzzles in it are crazy. great game. if u havent played it before then resident evil 4 wii edition is the best version of RE4 and a very good game. okami is also due soon wich is brilliant (i played it on a mates PS2 for a while). batallion wars wii might also be of interest. from what i hear, its an action game with a strategy element to it, a bit like hostile waters on PC.
FPSs: Metroid prime 3 is top priority here. it is more of an adventure game but theres alot of shooting in it, from a first person perspective. its not like halo or crysis though...its an adventure game with FPS elements. if u get a GC memory card and controller then i would also recommend MP1 and 2, both crackin games. medal of honor heros 2 is also supposed to be quite good. i would also recommend trying red steel (rent/borrow first of possible). its not the best game ever made and u may hate it to bits....but, although it had quite a few problems in it, i thought it was quite enjoyable overall. it had alot of good ideas, just the execution is quite a few places was lacking imho.
for flight sims: well theres nothing at the level of detail of flight sim or IL2 or anythign like that. but there are a couple of arcadey flight sims out for it. theres one from codemasters i quite liked, but i cant remember the name now :S.
platformers: well there is only one (that matters anyway), mario galaxy. theres also a few great on the VC like mario 3.
id also recommend trying out some of the more unique games like trauma center. very cool game that imho.
