Thread: So I just got a Wii...

I have several games for the Wii. My favorite:

Super Paper Mario
Excite Truck (seriously underrated - a lot of fun, arcady type of racing)
Zelda
Wii Sports (great for parties)

Wario is a quirky little game that seems to be more like a gimmick with the Wii Remote than anything else.

My kids love to play their GameCube games on the Wii with the Wavebird Wireless Controllers. They're switching back and forth between the Virtual Console games I downloaded, GameCube games (Mario Kart, NHL Blitz, Sega Soccer Slam), and the Wii games. It's really a great system for us.

I also want to get Elebits - supposed to be very good.

Elebits blows. WAY overrated. So is Rayman Raving Rabbids.


Excite Truck is GREAT. The only problem is that they don't have enough play options in it. I want an option to go head to head 2 players but with some AI drivers on the course too. I also want a way to play 2 or 4 players on that truck smashing game. Also, a level editor in the tradition of excite bike would have been cool. Oh well, maybe in version 2.

Paper Mario is ok. I like the concept of the 2D/3D switching, but the graphics are (albeit purposefully) awful, and the ENDLESS dialogue makes me want to slit my wrists.

I've heard Excitetruck is good. My buddy just gave me his copy of Elebits to check out. He says it's harder than a nipple on a witch's tit in a brass bra. We shall see...

I'd like to see how the controls will go for NHL 08 (if they even decide to push it)

Couldn't agree with you more about the endless dialogue in Mario. BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH...

xbox 360 for the win!!!

Ya, i got one at launch, and have only played old Gamecube games on it for the past 5 months. Zelda was fun, and I plan on going back to it for a second go around when I get some time, but as for now, I can't be bothered. I don't have any games other than Zelda, Wii Sports (fun) and Madden 07 (blows, wish I hadn't bought it).

I find myself playing my DS and old GC games 10000x more. Hopefully that changes when Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the inevitible Mario Kart game comes around, as well as anything else that seems remotely interesting.

And yes, the entire Paper Mario series has wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much dialogue. I get that it's an RPG, but come on guys, let's cut to the chase.

Congrats.

PS3 is the best out there you should have gotten that instead
