Finally...got my Wii today!

**UltimaEnder** · 09-18-2007

So it has been almost a year now since the Wii launched and I finally was able to add one to my collection, as of now I own only two games: RE4 and Zelda...I really need some advice on must own titles, accessories, VC games, whatever....treat me like a Nintendo Newbie! Thanks!

How is it. Was it worth the wait.

RE4 and Zelda already?
Hmm Metroid is freakin awesome. Paper Mario is good for a playthrough, maybe a rent. I love SSX Blur as well. If you have never played Trama Center on the DA then check it out for the Wii as well.

So far in a short answer YES. I am loving RE4 and my wife is finally playing games with me (Donkey Kong on the VC). I mainly got it for Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. but for now I am very happy with the purchase. I should have done this with the PS3 as at launch I was disappointed when I got my PS3....

congrats on your wii .... i was in bets buy yesterday and they had a few in.
some guy was buying one for his kid

**Blu_Ray_Fan** · 09-20-2007

got mine Sunday at Best Buy. I had 1 before and sold it new in box. I've played it several times at my buddies house. They're fun!

mine was only played for about an hour un Sunday (between football games) and hasn't been turned on since. It will get play as soon as I get more then Wii Sports! lol

**Mist** · 09-22-2007

Mortal Kombat, SSX Blur, and Mario Strikers are great fun.

**newps3man22** · 09-22-2007

no offense but i dont see how it could be the graphics of the wi are incredibly awful, i would guess the play mechanics would get old after awhile but maybe im wrong.

personally i have to have graphics in my games

Ocarina of time
Mario 64
Star Fox 64
Mario Kart 64
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic 2

Those are all good VC titles >I< would buy if I owned a wii

**Behemoko** · 09-22-2007

Why'd you wait so long to get it in the first place..? >_<

**TheGreatDane17** · 09-22-2007

Maybe lack of funds? Or... Couldn't get one as they are out of stock in most stores.

**SolidSnakeUS** · 09-23-2007

I hope that you have a ton of fun with it. Play the crap out of Metroid Prime 3 and Brawl

Instead of buying OOT for VC, I would buy the Master Quest for GameCube. That way you get 640x480 resolution, and more importantly, rumble support.

Then again, I personally just play it on my computer and get those features anyway, except for the Master Quest dungeons, of course.

I got my Wii anout 4 months ago now and i have got really bored of it really,I play lets say a few times a month IF that,So, i have traded it for a ps3,I think it was the right idea,i had about 15 wii games, but i got bored of them, the only one i use to play was mario football, that was ok once in a while.Another game i completed VERY easy was red steel on the hardest difficulty,it took me about 6 hours to do.

**FBPhoria** · 09-24-2007

As far as accessories go, the Nyko wiimote charger is great. But it only works for 2, not sure how many you have.

**Dro-Z** · 09-24-2007

Congrats on purchasing your new Wii!

I might get one myself when Super Mario Galaxy and SSB hit.

**Saix7** · 09-25-2007

I would buy a Wii, for those games like Zelda, Mario and other good game as well

I was joking.

My stores are overflowing with them, so I always find it funny when people talk about not being able to find one. Anywho, I waited in line for 2 hours to get 1, but they weren't popular, I could've showed up at opening, and got one, but after the 360 and PS3 launch, I was expecting massive lines, lol..

I never play it though, and like some future games, but probably not enough to keep me from selling it, so, unless SSB Brawl is Godlike, which it would have to be, I need to find a way to sell my Wii..

Where are you? In the continental US, I didn't see a single one between launch day (they were sold out thirty minutes before the store officially opened) and sometime this month. They're starting to be common now, but...

Don't mistake the huge stack of empty boxes at the front of every gamestop for actual availability.

**LLAF** · 09-25-2007

I still cant find one , its crazy

First off, I'm talking Best Buy and Target, so no worrys about them being empty boxes.

Second, I live in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Third, that was an exaggeration, they aren't "overflowing" but rarely out of stock for the past couple months. (Mostly Target had stock more often, Best Buy did depend on when the last shipment was, but they weren't gone fast.

**seebs** · 09-25-2007

Interesting! I've been in the Mendota Heights and Roseville area, and I have virtually never seen them until the last month. I wonder what's different. (They seem to be nearly common now -- I've actually seen them at Best Buy twice, although not yet at Target.)

I don't know about the US, but here in Denmark you can walk into any store and pick one up, they were outsold just around launch but have been avaible pretty much ever since.

I suppose the market is not big enough here in Denmark or something.

They are all being outsourced to Bloomington.

I'm going to Best Buy and or Target tomorrow. (unrelated matter) and I will report on how many Wiis I see whereever I go. (watch them be out of stock tomorrow, lol.)
