It really depends on what kind of games you like.

So far my favorite games for the Wii are GH3 and Mario Galaxy. I have mario cart, but im not that thrilled about it. Zelda seems to be a pretty good game, but I haven't played it much yet. I Tiger Woods golf, but you would have to be a golfer to enjoy it.

Mario Kart is super fun esp the online game play.
Mario Galaxy is fun also. Resident evil wii edition is good if your an RE fan and dont have it already.

The AMF bowling games are good if you are into that sort of thing.

Madden is good--I love motion sensing vs. button mashing.

CODWaW is great--just started it recently. Get a gun, though.

No more heroes has lots of hype but I got tired of it quickly.

tiger golf is dope especially because you can fuck with the person who is golfing by blowing an air horn and shit.

super smash bros is a must and so is mario party

Honestly unless you have a lot of free time you'll spend most of your time playing Guitar Hero World Tour if you have all the instruments. That + Wii Sports + Mario Kart should occupy you for months. The next game I'd get after that would be Mario Galaxy or Resident Evil 4. Both I have and are excellent games.

I have Mario Galaxy (I played it off and on for close to 1 yr ... I got Whiskers beat!) ... you'll like the 'surprise' that will happen once you've discovered all 120 stars. LOL.

I like playing Mario Kart ... I still have a lot to unlock -- players and karts. Seems you have to get 1st place in all the races for each 'Cup' ... just like the others in the series. So there is "replay-ability" with this title.

I also enjoyed Resident Evil -- I'm at one point that's pissing me off, so I haven't touched it in over 6 months. Once I've gone through my Guitar Hero phase, I'll go back to that game.

If you like puzzles, try looking at "Zak and Wiki" ... that's a great game. It translates horribly from the Japanese, but a very fun game. Rent it to see if that's your type of game. (I've seen it at EB for under $20 if you've got the loot to blow)

Oh ... then there's Big Brain Academy (similar to Brain Age on the DS) ... that's good when friends are over.

Of all my games the one that spins then most would have to be

Dragon Ball Z budaki tenchichi 3

it really is the best fight game i have ever played. keeping in mind i like DBZ and I prefer unrealistic fighting games like street figher/mortal combat over ones that are more realistic like DOA

I understand for a non DBZ fan it would be pretty hard to bring themself to buying it so rent/borrow it so you can see it for yourself.

RE4 is great if you dont have the GC version as its the same game but with wii controls.

I'm the opposite. Depends on the game probably.

Gamecube games: Metroid; Metroid 2; Mario Sunshine (but don't play Galaxy or else it will suck bad)

Cool, I will check out those GC games. I was looking for a used controller over at Gamestop. They don't even bother to clean them. I'll pickup a new one on amazon or ebay.

ok first of all for GC game i have to reccomend ETERNAL DARKNESS one of the greatest games EVER exclusivly on a nintento sys

Killer 7 is very good a lot more Adult than you would think on a GC

if you like RPGs then Tales of Symphonia (there is a sequal on wii) and Skies of Arcadia legends (improved version from the original DC)

All of these games should be pretty cheap. and are GREAT.

also there is mega man x collection it has all the mega man x games a lot of which where not origianally for nintendo some on psx so you wont be able to get them on VC

imo, the best games on the Wii are the oldschool ones you download to your console.

There's something wonderfully nostalgic about beating Mario Brothers 3, playing Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the old Zelda games, etc. I'm a beast at MarioKart64, and I love putting the smack down on people that come over and try to play me.

Speaking of Zelda, Twilight Princess is the only one I just lost the interest to play and never beat it. When Ocarina of Time came out I skipped school for 3 days and hardly slept or ate to beat it, lol.

They really, REALLY need Goldeneye for 64 available on the Wii. That game was epic. The Complex w/ power weapons ftw!

After looking at the trailers for that game I am amazed that Nintendo let that on their console. They used to be real anal about that back in NES/SNES days. I guess they just want the revenue now.
