Ok so yesterday I took the plunge and got a wii. now I still believe that the wii is overpriced but hey I wasnt going to wait forever, with sales as they are now we wont see a price drop for a long time.

So now I am wondering exactly what I should get for my wii, being by no means informed about the wii lineup I need help. To sum up my gaming preferences I would say I love FPS like UT and Halo however appreciate the fun things like mario kart offers. Also just not to wacky like wario ware. I know that I will most likely have to wait to get any good games but I am a patient person.

Another problem I have is hardware, I am wondering exactly how many controllers would be best and whether I need numchucks for all of them. Also if anyone knows how to go on the internet using ethernet cables that would be very appreciated, (I have wireless however I find it slow and I really enjoy using the browser but videos are really slow. Also is usb keyboards compatible with the wii, I tried my wireless keyboard hooked to my 360 and it didnt want to work.

Basically any advice that you might have on the wii is greatly appreciated except if you just want to make fanboyish comments, I own a 360 and wii now and most likely wont get a PS3 because of price and unappealing games (In my opinion you are welcome to yours) and anything you people say arent going to change that so dont even try

Well I didn't read the last two paragraphs so I might not know about this but If you haven't played the GC version, TP is still the best Wii game out (that I've played) and SPM is supposed to be equally fun. RE4 got AAA so it must be pretty good so if you haven't played it before get the Wii version. If you're looking for an FPS, I enjoyed Red Steel but only after I beat Zelda (it doesn't hold a candle to Zelda).

For the internet, I don't think you can hook up an ethernet cord to the Wii because I don't see a plug for one (good logic there on my part :) ). As for keyboards, I don't know of any. I can put in words on the Wii incredibly fast however. Just take some time playing around with it and you'll be able to type out some stuff quickly.

I have 4 controllers for my Wii and 3 nunchuks (I'm working on the next one). If you have friends over a lot, obviously you're going to need more controllers. Warioware (I know you didn't want) only uses one controller and you can have up to 12 people playing with that one controller. Other games on it only use a controller and nunchuk.

You should definetly get zelda and SPM, those games are excellent, other games that i would recommend but not as highly would be trama center, and excite truck. And you should definetly check out resident evil for the wii if you haven't played it on the GC. Alot of people like warioware, but i just found it short and i didn't have fun with it for very long

I have two controlers for my wii, both with nunchucks and i think that it's enough

I'll wait until Wii sports is taking off the bundle and Brawl or Galaxy is added in as well as a new colour. White sucks. Especially with the blue light. It's all about black wii. Anyone who quotes this and starts making jokes will be murdered.

At the moment, the games I would reccommend to a GAMER are Zelda and RE4. Both of those should keep you busy for the next 2 months at least, assuming you do other things than play games all day.

But part of the appeal of the Wii is that there are games that you can play with your non-gaming parents. You obviously have Wii sports if you bought the console outside of japan, so you can try picking up brain training if your parents are more into intellectual games. It supposedly has a great multiplayer mode.
