Should I buy an Wii?

Hello all thanks for viewing my thread,

I'm debating on whether I should get a Wii or not. I already have a 360 for a long time. I've owned Wii before, but I only had Mario Kart and there was still no online for it, so I sold it back shortly after buying it.

I see that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is coming out and I feel like I could have fun with a Wii and some of the games.

Right now I can get a Wii with Wii Sports and Mario Sluggers NEW for 179.99 + tax. What do you all think?

It's up to you, but that isn't a good deal.

Right now you can get a white or black Wii bundle (comes with Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus peripheral) for $200. That's a much better deal. Sluggers can be found for cheap anyway, and isn't a great game from what I've heard.

But again, it's up to you to decide if you want a Wii. Do some research and figure out if it's for you.

All the other poster is saying is that a new Black Wii bundle is coming out soon. For 200 bucks you get the black Wii (which may interest you more than the white one), Wii Sports, and Wii Sports Resort which comes with the Wii MotionPlus control. It's just another option to consider. If you want to save 20 bucks and don't care about the color or MotionPlus controller, then go for that other deal.

Ultimately the decision is yours. Just do some research.

Well instead of sluggers I can get the New Super Mario Bros or Mario Kart or a bunch of other games I choose one. How is 179.99 not a good deal for that. What's so big about a Wii sports resort?Sonny360Elite

Don't get it for Mario Kart. The Mario Kart on the wii is utter crap - stick with Mario Kart: Double Dash for your Mario Kart fix (the gamecube version). Even though it doesn't support online play it's still the best.

Oh yeah, I was looking at that deal. I recommend games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Super Smash Bros. Brawl to get you hooked, before you go for Sluggers - besides, those games are still $50, while you can get Sluggers for half that.

You're not going to get an honest answer on this board.

Agreed mkwii along with mk64 is the best. Online play is amazing and imo can hang up there with the big ps3 and 360 titles. But dont get it for one game of course. I would go for twilight princess btw its one of the best games ever.

You mean, you are not gonna get a PS360 view on Nintendo games, go to other boards for that. From here you will get answers from people who actually like the system.

Resort is a must buy. You get a great game bundled with a soon to be must have add-on which is WM+ (Zelda Wii is gonna require this one.)

MKWii is still awesome for multiplayer / online. Expect some heavy rubberbanding on single player.

if you are interested in getting a wii, get that new black bundle. and if you are still deciding to get one or not, then look at all the wii exclusives and decide whether you like them or not, games like New Super Mario BrosWii, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid other M,Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Mario Kart, and whatever other games there are developed by nintendo themeselves. i have my wii so i can play those nintendo exclusives, along with my PS3 for the other games not available for the wii.

You should decide based on the games you will play, not the tech available in the console. If you are not interested in playing many games on the wii, i suggest you dont buy the wii, but if you are, go ahead and get the wii black bundle cause its worth it.

I'd just get the black bundle probably. But there are tons of great games coming soon. From Nintendo and Thrid parties.

It's all right I guess.
