I finally got a Wii!

Best Buy had them available online yesterday and I picked one up. I see that they're already sold out today though.

So anyway, what are some must have games and accessories? I'm really looking forward to trying this thing out. Is the new Mario Kart any good?

I played Mario Kart for a little bit at a buddy's house and really enjoyed it. If I was going to buy Wii that would be the first game that I would get.

I have mario Kart and its a lot of fun playing with an actual wheel.The only thing I dont like about the game is how at the end of the race the guy behind you always has some power up that you cant avoid.Other than that its a lot of fun.

If you are a fan of old school nintendo games then you need to get on the Wii shopping channel and download them to your Wii.I have all the old super marios,even the version of super mario brothers 2 that was only released in Japan.They have most of the old titles and update it from time to time.

I'd definitely try Madden on the Wii. I've never played the Wii before though so I wouldn't know what games are must haves.

I have the Wii also. Stood in line for over five hours one frozen Feb. morning. It was cool for a couple days but to be honest it is just ok IMO. Too me it is just a Gamecube with a funky joystick.

I still love 360 the best! I think Wii is best for kids and amatuer video gamerers. Matty you seem to be into the more adavnce games like myself, I am interested in your opion of the Wii in a few weeks after you get your feet wet.

Zelda for almost infinite playing time. Madden game play is unique and decent but the graphics suck. Resident Evil 4 is good if you haven't played it on another systems. And of course, my all time favorite Wii game.... Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey ;)

Now that I've played it a few times at friends' houses will say that it is great to play with a bunch of other people.
Personally, I still wouldn't buy one but I will grab the Wii-mote if I'm at a friend's house.

AMD, you are i nthe right place with the Wii. Yeah I have had a couple house parties and it has been fun while drinking but never have I rushed home to play it for hours, like I do with GTA on 360.

I seriously can't wait for GOW 2!

I'm definitely more of a hardcore gamer but I think the Wii will be fun for having friends over plus my wife likes to play Mario Kart.

i bought the new gun (it looks like a rifle) can't remember what it's called, and the game Ghost Squad. that's pretty fun.
