So I just ordered a wii....Follow

<insert lame jokes and cue silly laughter about Stubs obtaining his appendage by mail>


Still waiting....




Are we done yet...?


OK, so...

My b-day is coming up, and my sister wanted one for Christmas anyway, so I figured, why not hit two birds with one stone. I actually got a customer choice bundle that came with several accessories and 5 games of my choosing. I got the typical choices - Zelda, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Party, and a couple others, but I'm wondering, what are some of the Wii games you guys would recommend, and why?

Zelda and Metroid prime are about all you will get for deep single player games.

My best suggestion would be instead of picking up more party games, buy a crapton of wii points and just have a field day in the virtual console.

Mario Striker's charged is ok, though a bit frustrating if you're not talented with it


either way, you'll like wii, wii wiins

If you liked Zelda for the N64 back in the day: Pick up Zelda - Twilight princess.

Freakin amazing game, very VERY similar feel to the gameplay from the moment you get in-game and the story is just as good, not much richer and not lacking in comparison... they added some creepy HL2 twists in the feel as well. That "off" or "this is not right... mentally" is kind of part of the awesome element added into the game.

Metroid is awesome too.

Super Paper Mario is good funtimes.
Also, that Trauma Center game where you do surgery is kinda neat.
It gets a little crazy about the middle of the game though when you start finding people with this odd disease that seems to be smart or something.
And you have to draw a star on the screen to evoke this super sekret hidden power that only truly talented surgeons have or something like that.

I wish I head Allegory on skype lol

There is no awesome in Alabama.

I reccomend Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition if you have not played the orignal number 4 on the other Consoles. The remote and style of the game compliment each other like Ham and Cheese does on a sandwhich its that good its unreal.

Tell me how Mario Party is when you get to play it.

I've only played Metriod Prime the last time I went to the mall. I'd say the controlls are a little sensative but I can see how people enjoy it.

I thought about getting one but I have way too much crap cluttering my office already...

Grats now you can play all the crap titles from the PS2 with a new controller. Seriously I am so unhappy with my Wii its not even funny. I haven't played a decent 3rd party game on it yet. I guess if Nintendo hadn't made it with about the same technical stats as the freakin Xbox 1 more multi console titles might be on it. Actually I take that back, the Xbox 1 did have a hard drive built into it. The controller in alot of cases just makes games harder to play then they should be (especialyl the ps2 ports I mentioned). I swear I think 3/4 of the titles on it are movie/kid titles from the PS2 ported to the Wii. Virtual Console is way overpriced for what you get. $8 for Sonic 1 on Wii virtual console compared to $5 on Xbox live. Plus the Xbox live version has save support, on-line rankings, and better support for HDTV's. Plus you don't have to buy a 2nd controller to use xbox live.

Super Paper Mario was a pretty decent game that you might consider. Pretty much that and the games you listed are about the only titles worth a crap on the system ATM. Wii Play isn't a bad deal since your probably going to want more then 1 wiimote. The game itself is fun for about 30 minutes. Mario Galaxy might be good when it comes out.

Mario Party is fun, although you are sure to get some looks from your friends when you play it, nsfw arm movements and whatnot, but nevertheless a good game. Also Resident Evil 4, although a port is still a good sold game, even if you played it on the GC or Ps2. The controls are different but it's fun once you get the hang of it.

Enjoy your wii
