dont do it TC....you will hurt gaming by buying that casual trash. stick to proper, true gaming platforms..the only 2...the PS3 and 360. if you buy a wii then you will contribute to change which can not be tolerated and true hardcore gamers will suffer. *whisper* go nuts TC....im just spouting out the above nonsense to look cool here. if you havent played a metroid prime game yet then get the trilogy also....3 top notch games. just dong go in expecting a halo...there not like halo. galaxy is of course a must. little kings story is great also. world o goo and lostwinds on wiiware are also brilliant and okami is top notch if you havent played the PS2 version. pikmin 2 is also great if you didnt have a GC, de blob is very kewl and wii sports resort is great fun. just dont tell anyone i told you...if anyone asks the wii has no good games */whisper* yea..er...boo wii.

Nothing wrong with getting a Wii, my man ;). I got one, and I've had my fun with it. Although it's my least touched console, the games I've played are awesome. Just because it's the butt of every gamer's joke doesn't mean it can't offer a great experience. I mean, I play Age of Conan nowdays...and I'm ridiculed by my WoW playing friends every single day. Doesn't stop me from enjoyin it. :)

Well right you are. Owning 3 consoles > owning 2 consoles.

Considering the amount of hate the Wii gets on this board I'm getting a good amount of positive feed in this thread, ha I wish I had the money to get one right now but if everything goes right I should have the money by the end of this month and a Wii will be mine :twisted:

Super Mario Galaxy's good, but not worth getting the system for.

Wii is a great system! Is it going to blow you away and become your main console? Most likely no, but it sure does fill a void when you want good, unique fun. You'll probably buy it, play it for a few hours, and go back to your current systems. But you'll find yourself playing it for a few hours consistantly if you get the right games.

Plus, prices for goodgames have been dropping, at least at my GameStop. Deblob, House of the Dead 2 &3, Umbrella chronicles...$19 new.

Good to hear, it's an excellent console only shunned by those who have not played it since 06/07 - And then actually boast about how they ave not played it since 06/07. : D

For game advise, consider the following illustrated lists:

Some of what's available

Some of what's coming.

Have fun. : D

*UPDATED*

So I just got a nice check today and well I decided to roam the internet for a good price on a Wii...to my surprise I was able to find one for 130 bucks on ebay

It's missing the Stand and a Nunchuck...so I just finished buying a new nunchuck for 10 bucks and SMG for 26 on Amazon....so the grand total has come out to 176 with tax and shipping...oh snap!

So if everything goes good I should officially be a Wii Owner soon

Can't say I've ever really enjoyed past Zeldas...but giving TP a rent wouldn't hurt.

So those things are needed to play a good game? I guess with achievement/trophy makes a game down right unplayable. God forbid any game without HD should ever be played. wow that is funny

Yea all of those reasons are pretty lame, and why would I want 3 identical consoles anyways? I needed to add some variety into my gaming life :)

Did, you buy one for 130$ on Ebay, Or is it still on Ebay. If Memory serves, Wiis almost alwasego for more than that retail price on ebay. If you did, Nice perchase. There is no reason why you shouldn't get a Wii for 130$. Although most people may not recommendthis game, I will. You should get Wii Play. It comes with a Wii Remote. AndI personally love itas a 2 player games. Wii Sports and Wii Play = Awesome 2 player games. Also with the Wiis current 2010 line-up, you can't go wrong with a wii.

Games to look foward to:

  • Super Mario Galaxy 2
  • Monster Hunter 3
  • Zelda Wii
  • No More Heros 2
  • Metroid Other M
  • Red Steel 2 and many more....
