Sup all, its 7:41 here in New Hampshire and I'm going to Circuit City around 9AM - for they have Nintendo Wiis in their weekend advertisement!

I've been trying to buy this goddamn console since I came back from Taiwan for winter break, and what I want to ask you is: what else do I need to buy for it?

I'm definitely getting Zelda, but what other games are recommended? Any must-have accessories (does the Wii come with one of those motion controllers or is that separate)?

Time is of the essence, so advice away!

The wii definitely comes with a wii-remote. What you want to buy is a classic controller if you're planning on getting smash bros brawl and ur quite a fan of melee. Then again if you're an uber fan of smash bros melee you probably already have the old gamecube controller which is compatible with the new wii.
Oh no

You know, when you're an adult you can actually buy games and don't get ruined.

If everyone would rip games Nintendo wouldn't even have the money to launch the Wii in the first place so think before you speak

wii is a trashy gimmicky console

the only good game on it so far is mario galaxy but the automated camera controls unfortunately try their best to ruin the game for you by giving you a constant headache while you try to play

id save my money if i were you

Got owned OBV, arrived there a little before opening time at 10am and they had a sign out saying that they had no Wiis. Apparently some people went there at like 5:30AM and got vouchers for them, bleh

Will probably end up picking up some controllers, Zelda and Mario. Not really interested in Guitar Hero since I don't like Guitar music (blasphemy!). I would TEAR the game apart though, maybe I"ll get it eventually.

Are you really interested in a buying a Wii?

I bought one about 7 months ago and I've played it maybe 15 times. I never use it and would like to get rid of it. Right now I have 2 Wii-Motes, a classic controller, the USB ethernet connector, 2 Nunchucks, Rechargeable batteries for each of the wii-motes along w/ the base. I have Metroid Prime 3, Mario Party 8, Wii Play and Wii sports along with 7 games for the virtual console (Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario World, Super Mario Brothers 3, Super Mario Brothers : The Lost Worlds, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles for the nes).

Games for Wii:

1. Brawl
2. Older games/ports (Okami, F-Zero, Ikaruga)
3. Galaxy

I'm in the same boat. Waiting for Wii to restock at a Gamestop or something. I knew the CC wasn't going to pan out.
hmm.

there's one good reason to get a wii: smash bros. that's the reason i got mine over a year ago and it's gonna be bitchin.
zelda's alright but playing as the wolf is lame, super mario galaxy is extremely fun but very easy, other than that there's not much unless you're a fan of resident evil or metroid prime. i've heard good things about mario strikers too.
good vibes only
