Great insight, thank you Jolly. I don't own a DS, sadly, and I suppose Advance games (Ruby and Sapphire, my last Pokemon purchases) won't cut it. Too bad, I was almost 100% on those :P It looks tempting, and with the 3DS out, the DS' price has dropped considerably, at least here. If anything, I will consider buying this once I get a (3)DS and a cassette for it. Also, I'm 99% positive on buying this:

It's black, will fit on a shelf below the other two consoles, which are black as well. Can anyone confirm it's GameCube compatible?

Hello everyone! I've finally gotten around to keep money for a Wii, which I'll buy in a couple of weeks, maximum. Thing is, I'm almost clueless about Wii games - I know the major hits, of course, and I've already bought the limited controller edition of Skyward Sword, since it was - duh - limited, and I didn't want to risk getting it more expensive.

This is the Wii console I'll be getting, which, I think, is blue due to the fact that Sonic is 20 years old anymore (1991-2011). A question, though: do consoles have different hardware specifications? Think X360 Arcade console, and regular console. Also, does this console allow GameCube backwards compatibility?

Now, I'm asking for help on games from you, Wii owners. Which games should my library not miss? I'm currently interested in:

- Twilight Princess
- Monster Hunter Tri
- Red Steel 2
- No More Heroes
- Maybe some Resident Evil Wii-exclusive titles
- Xenoblade Chronicles
- Disney Epic Mickey
- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
- I'd get Okami, but I have it on my PS2. If it's had critical changes in the Wii version, though, I'll pick it up.

These, I know for sure that I'll get around to buy, soon. Generally, I'm interested in 3rd person games, be it shooters, adventure, action, platformer - anything that has something that can attract me. I'm only interested in Wii exclusives, since I own a good PC, a PS3 and an X360. My game collection is huge, so don't hesistate to bring examples and compare them to other games. The first examples of favorite/unique games are: Demon's/Dark Souls, Uncharted series, Assassin's Creed series, God of War series, Castlevania series, Sly series, The Witcher series, Mass Effect series... I can go on, but you get the idea. I don't really love FPS games, but I've heard good things about the Conduit series.

I hope it wasn't too tiring to read, and excuse my noobishness. Thank you very, very much, since it was a long read, with some questions that will decide my purchases.
