Woot! Got meself a Nintendo Wii!!!

:RockOn - not mine:

After playing Wii Sports on a 6 x9 foot screen it at a family party, my daugther AND my wife asked if we could get one. Although I couldn't find one anywhere in the Bay Area, I was able to score a brand new one for a $40 tariff.

Hooked it up to the home theater along with the PS2. Got Mario Party 8, WarioWare and Paper Wario... Wow! Fun for the whole family! My wife never got into the PS2 but she totally into the Wii.

Any other suggestions for games?

Excite Truck - and make sure you get a couple of the steering wheels that the wiimotes fit into.

SSB when it comes out. But until then, not too many games seem all that great. Too bad you had to pay an extra $40 on it, but that's not too bad of a markup.

+onemillionz!!!!!

Excite Truck is freakin rad!

Also SSX Blur is pretty fun, but it's really difficult. Zelda is a great game too but it just goes on foooooooreeeeeeeeever.

And don't forget about the virtual console games like Mario Kart 64, the original Zelda, Excite Bike, Super Mario World, etc.

There were some guys down south between San Diego and Mexico that were selling systems on Craigslist with 8 games (not including sports or play), two numchucks, two wiimotes for $300 not including shipping.....

Cash (western union) ONLY. ... kinda suspicious about that. Instead I meet up with some guy in the parking lot of the OSH in San Mateo.

Don't use it that much so I figure I should find it a better home.

I only play the wii when my friends are over. the rest of the time it's either the 360 or the PS3. wii is a good party game but for solo gaming it's not what it's made for.

Games:
Solo: Mario Galaxy and Zelda
Party: Mario and Sonic Olympics and Rayman (kids)
