You all know I'm a die hard PC gaming fan and not a console gaming fan but the Wii is just awesome Wii Sports in particular is great fun Tennis in particular. How many of you have a Wii out there? (I didn't even know it had Wi-Fi...pleasant surprise!)

You should purchase the internet channel for it, if you're connected to your network.

This quote is me.
I am the same....
I have a Wii!
Okay, first line of business... Get Bomberman '93.
This game is... beyond great to play with friends. Endless entertainment and very, very cheap. It's a VC game.
Also, get Mario Galaxy. Tons of fun.
I have Mario Strikers: CHARGED as well. It's a soccer (football) game and is quite fun. I recommend it if you have some pals who would like an arcade-y sports game.
Also, we could swap Wii numbers and play sometime.
Ummmmm. Get Gunstar Heroes. It's absolutely great. Another VC game.
And Super Mario World. That's great too. Anyway... Peace. Time for burritos

Get drunk and triple the fun factor, although for sober gaming I still favour my 360/PC.

I got bored of tennis after a few minutes, its nothing special, all you need to do is violently shake the wiimote.

The other games are toss too, especially the heat seeking fielders on Baseball

I'll stick to CoD4 over waving my arms around like a twat any day.

Nice example, pity youve obviously never played Wii to give an opinion worth anything

-------

anyway if you havent played it before, check out resident evil 4 on the wii. If your grown up enough to not have a cry over the fact its a port of the GC versions graphics, the new controls make it one of the best games youll play, ive never even owned a single RE game so my opinion is hardly biased

I tried Wii, and I don't like it.  The sports feel clunky (well, the tennis does) and some of the less-thought-through games leave you with numb arms too quickly.

I have a Wii and it's fantastic. I have Sports, Play, Mario Galaxy, Heatseeker, Monkey Ball, and Resident Evil Four.

It really is quite enjoyable and if you are a first time Nintendo owner there is a whole back library of not only virtual console games, but also the avenue of Gamcube games, of which there were many great titles (F Zero GX, Smash Bros Melee, etc etc).

Oh, and jumping around and waving my arms in the air like a tool > Playing the same game (Call of Duty 4) that rehashes the same gameplay elements that have been around for years and have gone stale.

lol

the cieling fan strike hehe

been there, done that.  Rearanged half of my living room to accomodate mr. Wii.  How sad is that? :s

A decent flight sim (the control requires a nunchuk) would be "Blazing Angels".  Its WW2, and the control is awesome.  Put out by UBI the graphics are nice for what it is as well.

We have Lego Star Wars...decent game, its fun, more so than I expected really.  Single or Multi-player.  Second player may join at any time.
Its loaded with little puzzles and what not etc etc.

If you happen to be a Star Trek fan I found one called "Star Trek: Conquest".  Its starship combat in a 3rd person (outside of ship).  You can conquest the galaxy or simply skirmish other vessels.  Unlocks available are races, ships, and maps.  If you arent a star trek/starship fan tho, you may not find it worth looking at.

I plan on getting a couple of shooters, I have seen a couple of the weapon attatchments for the controller/nunchuk...they look pretty cool, and smg or a shotgun style thing are available.  When i have a shooter, I'll have one.

I havent seen much for the Wii that was more than $20 US save the controller.  90% of the accesories I've seen/touched are worth their price I think.  Over all, I'm quite satisfied with ours.
