And the controls aren't just a gimic either, as you saw with Zelda and SSX.

It is a blast, and actualy a realy good party game system.  Live party games too, none of this accross the internet stuff, though online play should be available at some point.

And heck, we even got your wife to play

My awesome wife, for an early b-day and x-mas present, just picked me up a WII.  Frackin' awesome!  My wife is soo cool!   

Every monday they released 3-4 more.

You weren't expecting all of them, were you?

Not all are owned by nintendo, and some may never be back up there.  The Final Fantasies may and Chrono Trigger may never end up there for example, and some games have been released into Gamecube Collections already (Megaman for example).  That reminds me, I need the Megaman X collection.

I've picked up Mario Kart, Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World, Mario 64, Sonic, Castlevania IV, Kid Icarus, and Streetfighter II Turbo.  I've got a lot of play out of Super Mario World, Kid Icarus, Mario Kart, and Castlevania.

You could have checked.  Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a newer Nobunga's, and a lot of the Genesis games are licence issues, I'm guessing shadowrun will never be released since Fasa is defunct and they need to release it.

That said, they are releasing 3-4 titles a week. so you never know.

If you haven't already, pick up all the Zelda titles.  Link to the Past some people say is the best Zelda (SNES) ever, Orcanara of Time (N64) is an awsome game, Zelda and Zelda II (NES) are classics, and not sure if Majora's Mask (N64) is available yet.  Majora's Mask is the only one I've not finished, and part of that has been time.

Wind Walker (Gamecube) is a great game as well and can be had for cheep (or borrowed from me at some point, though I think Drew has first dibs if he asks, if I'm not replaying it, which is unlikely at the moment).  And Twilight Princess, well, you can read my reviews for gamecube and Wii games here.  Hope some of those help.

BTW, if you like final fantasy style games, Tales of Symphonia is a must have (it's somewhat Secret of Mana-esque too, as you can multiplayer combat, which is semi-arcadish).

I actualy heard good things about both versions.  08 for the Wii isn't quite the 360 or PS3 version, but it's supposedly a very solid game.

I usually go with the PC version myself, and since I have 07 for the PC, I won't be getting 08 for any system.

 

How were Metroid Prime 1 and 2?

I thought Prime 1 was harder than Prime 2, but then, part of that was getting used to the controls and a first person shooter.  I had to retry more fights on Prime 1 than Prime 2, and Prime 1 took me longer to complete.  The ending of Prime 2 was harder though.

Prime 3 is pretty cool, very imersive, and seems a bit easier because of the control scheme.  One you get used to aiming and moving it's very accurate.  My biggest anoyance is that they included several jesture ways to activate switches that gets old quickly, and I'm a little too quick with the grapple lasso, so I often miss my yank back.

I'm probably going to do a review of all 3 prime games at some point for the site, hopefully get the first one up this week.

Start exersizing your thumbs now, or you'll be in a world o' hurt later.   

Than why are my thumbs still red, smarty pants?

Your DS?

You burned them at work?

<Insert witty responce>
Zelda is a good RPG/Action game.  Super Paper Mario is a fun RPG/Platformer.  Not a lot of Pure RPGs for it yet, beyond what's on the Virtual Consol.

Super Mario Galexy supposedly has a fun 2 player co-op.   Marvel Ultimate Alliance is up to 4 player co-op/RPG.

Most of the party games work ok as 2 player vs that aren't battles.  Super MOnkey ball has some fun vs games, as does Mario Party 8.

Yes 

Hey, tony, now that you have your wireless network back up, you going to put your friend code for the Wii in This thread?

Post a friend code for your Wii?

It's the first page of your address book.  You need to turn on Wii connect 24/7 though.

Yeah.  My parents love Wii sports, and I can play Mario Party with my cousin and his 5 year old son.
