Wii?

**VikesSuperFan** · 05-17-2008, 05:23 PM

So I have a Xbox 360 to play my Madden, NBA, GTA and games like that...

But do any of you guys have a Wii?

I was just wondering if you think it is worth the money to get one...

I played Wii Sports for the first time today and have a blast... But i was wondering how the other games play? like Mario Cart or Mario or some of those games that you can ONLY get for the Wii?

i love my wii.
kind of went the other way than you with getting a wii first then i got my PS3 for GTA IV.
I own Kart, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario and Sonic, and Mario Galaxy.
All those games are a blast to play.
Wii fit is going to be awesome.
Totally get one.
Its a console that you can get non gamers like your wife/girlfriend or whatever to play and be kind of a relationship builder.

we love our wii, but we are not really a big gaming family.

it is interactive, fun, and a hit at parties and get togethers.

for us, it is perfect

I never got into gaming once the kids out grew their Nintendo NES.

Call it a Mii thing.

I have a wii and it's ok, I wish you could use the regular controler for games instead of the numchuck and controller.

I have a Wii and the only thing I ever play is Wii sports, 97% of the time we just play bowling.
I also never play it unless I have people over because as stated it's a crowd pleaser.
The other games I've tried briefly (snowboarding, football) I gave up on trying to adapt to the controls, I'd rather play on the 360.

That being said it's worth it to me to just have it as a bowling game when the neighbors are over, everyone has a blast.
