Same. Only use mine for playing Resi 4, and the web browser. Other wise it doesn't get a look in.
For a few gens now Nintendo consoles have had a very small but amazing selection of games for the more hardcore gamer. Previously it was because they have been the less popular (since the SNES) but now its just because the Wii has so much arse on it.
I still think as a gamer you need to play games like a new Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid etc. House of the Dead is one of the most funs game to come out on any format for a while and then you have No More Heroes, Resi 4 and a few others.
As a secondary console its great because the good games are few and far between but they are must plays when they come along. As a main console though it would be a struggle.

Can't think of any, guess the next would be Madworld. How ever i keep meaning to have a few days off and completing Zack & Wiki
Mario Kart
Umbrella Chronicles
Smash Brothers
House of the Dead: Overkill
Nothing you would probably fall over yourself to play but good games anyway (actually I would fall over myself to play MK and HotD
)If you like your retro then the downloads on the Wii are also pretty good.

Since the Wii has been released worldwide, I have had 3. All of which have been sold.
Its good for the first week, or days, then you slowly relise its not all that. (well I did). Each time I told my self (when buying a Wii again) that it had change, and better games are available. But other than Smash Bros, it had nothing for me.
And now I have vowed to never get one again!

That describes the games range of at least the last 3 Nintendo consoles. However they do release some real gems and the wii hits a different point of the market. I prefer PC and the old PS2 but we have a Wii and have always found it great.
I think Kreeeee is the only person who still plays his
No decent new games have come out for the Wii, so if it wasn't for Brawl I'd have sold mine ages ago.
If you can get it cheap, complete RE4, Zelda TP, Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Mario Kart, kororinpa and Metroid Prime 3, and sell it all for a small loss then I'd highly recommend it. As a long term purchase there's no point as development died ages ago.
I've just bought one. I already have 2 PS3's but i thought what the hell. Atleast my nephews will love me for it
Spent £160 on the console which came with a component cable, 2 remotes, 1 nunchuck and a charging base with wii play and wii sports. Since then (today) i have gone abit wild and ordered Mario Karting (with wheel), an extra wheel, a classic controller, NFS, Mario galaxy and a glossy black skin.
So bring it on!!!!

nice!
i'd agree with those saying don't bother. The missus got me one on launch day, it gets the odd outing for Mario Kart or when people come over and want to try Wii Fit but thats about it. Zelda was worthwhile, but the graphics are quite distracting, the Wii really suits the more colourful cartoony games better - you don't notice the fact thats its SD so much.

my main problem with the WII, as was the gamecube, is a servere lack of games, and the games that are out are so high in price, OR a low quality knock out of the factory job
I thought they were just novelty things but they're actually really fun. Worth it!
:Edit: Note, that was when living with fun people. If you live with people who class themselves as serious gamers or want to play on your own then probably not such a good idea.
