I'd suggest picking it up before Smash Bros Brawl.

Do keep in mind you'll have to buy your games from US retailers (By online means or whatnot), as the Wii is region-coded, and games not coded for that region won't work.

Yeah, I'd get one. I enjoy mine.

And like he said, Smash Bros. and Mario Galaxy within a month of each other guarantees it is going to be *hard* to find a console come november-december.

Ignore the hate. Pick up a Wii with Metroid Prime 3, Resident Evil: Wii Edition, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Warioware: Smooth Moves. Then later this year pick up Super Smash Bros Brawl, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Radient Dawn, and of course Super Mario Galaxy.

First off there's no guarantee your dad can get one when he visits the US. Second you need to take a look at what is available now and what's coming out and see if it is something you like. No one can tell you to get it or not only you. You may not see any validity to owning one if there's only two games you want to play. Think about it and decide if it's something you're gonna want to pay for and get use out of.

Get it in January, and you will be able to play SMG and SSBB, and maybe even score some post-holiday discounts.

I might get it at some point so I can play No More Heroes.

I will definitely be getting one before the next console Zelda comes out.

I consider Zelda to be an essential gaming experience.

If the games interest you then you should, although I am currently disappointed with the Wii.

I live in Israel and we use PAL here (used in europe too...) butI think that there are stores that sell NTSC games too...I was is it worth to spend that amount of money for it or should I just get a ds lite?

I'd say it has enough games to justify a purchase already.
