So I think I´m on the rigth place to ask some questions.

Aside from SM Galaxy,MP3 echoes and Zelda,what games do you recomend?

Keep in mind that i´m basically a PC player,so any adventure,strategy,rpg or even fps are welcome.

Btw,I am under the impression that the Wii has a regular controller.Does it work with all the games,or it´s for the classical ones?

The wireless controllers work with batteries like the 360 ones?Or it´s nore like the PS3 controllers?

Any insigth will be much apreciated.

Thank you

i suggest if you buy a wii get the charging station too or you'll be buying batteries once a week or more. i don't think you need the classic controller because the remote that you get works for all the old games but i could be wrong. COD WaW is a good fps game....the graphics are decent but dont compare to ps3 or 360. rapala fishing is fun too. i have blazing angels too..it's a flying game it doesnt have the best reviews but I think it's pretty sweet.

Here for recommendations for games Here for games that are coming out, and for reviewed games for 2009. As for the controller -- it uses AA batteries, much like the 360. What I suggest is buying a pair of rechargeable batteries and a charger. Also not all games work with the classic controller. Only some games do -- you basically have to look on the back of the box to find out what control types are supported, or look online.

wiimotes run on batteries like an xbox 360 controller. id recommend a charging station. as for games: no more heroes, madworld, and okami (if you missed it on ps2) are all good choices. fire emblem: radiant dawn is a good game too, though its not much of a wii experience.

I can't recommend any games because I haven't played a lot. But Call of Duty World at War is a great FPS if you're interested.

As for the WiiMote, it uses AA batteries. Alkalines probably last the longest. For rechargable batteries I suggest using NiMH type, they seem to work pretty well.

Dude, don't forget that the reason to own a Wii is the controller itself. Using the Classic controller on all games would be a crutch. Then you'd have.....just another system that does the same stuff as everything else out there. The classic controller is great and has it's uses, but don't go looking for games to use it. That defeats the purpose.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there's a list out there of games that do support it? I bought a used one just so I wouldn't have to waggle my way through NFS: Undercover, but I didn't even realize its use was limited to fewer games.

I have an important tip. you probably already know this one, when buying games for a Nintendo console one must still buy many third party games even thought the first party games are great. Everyone needs diversity.

I just got a wii, and I found some good things here. I bought Metroid Prime Trilogy. I never played the fps Metroids, and I'm getting into it. I suggest getting this instead of MP3...Which I haven't played yet.
