-thats my "must-buy" list. LoL compared to my PS3 List:



#Metal Gear Solid IV

No problem for a Fellow Wii-er.
and if you have never played a Nintendo game before, shame on you. Basically Any Mario and Zelda games are must buys.
Super Mario Bros 3 and Legend of Zelda: OoT you need to get before any other Virtual Console game or any other game for that matter. They are both given the names as BEST GAMES EVER. so use your first 1500 Wii points on them.

Ive never played a Nintendo Product.
I have always wanted to: but I developed a bad brand loyalty towards Sony. Even a former PS3 fanboy like me can see when a console is sheer crap.

To play Gamecube games (im buying RE:REMAKE, and ZERO), Ill need a Gamecube controller right?


And also: can someone explain the "points" system on the Wii online store. How do u get them? Do you get any for free?
Please clarify if someone can lol.

yes, you need a Gamecube controller to Play ALL GAMECUBE games. they are..mabey $7 at gamestop. and the Wii remote does not work at all while playing Cube games.
If your getting Resident Evil 4, Get the Wii Version, its shinier than the Cube version, better controls and more content. and its only $30.
Wii points are basically credits to allow you to buy things on the Shop Channel. every Wii Point is worth 1 cent, and every 100 points are $1. you can get them at any game retailer (Walmart, Target, Gamestop, EB Games, etc..) but they cost more and only have one card...2000 points, and they Cost $24 when the real price is $20.
ONLINE, you can use your MasterCard or VISA, you can buy points for their real price and at plans of 1000,2000,4000 and 6000. This way is much easier and you save $4.
The only place you can get them free is in Europe where they had the STARS system which converted into Wii points for every game they had signed up to their MY NINTENDO account. Here in the US, we don`t get that incentive.

Ok im sure you Wii people have had many posts from n00bs like me. I currently have a Playstation3 (proud of it). Unfortunately, it sucks. No games. No decent online. No fun.

My parents said if i wanted a Nintendo Wii for christmas that they would buy me one. Im a really big fan of Single Player games; with strong stories and replay value. Is the Wii a good investment for games like this? Im really interested. Also; how is the backwards compatibility with gamecube and stuff.

Could people prehaps share their thoughts on the wii; and post links to informative pages.

I understand there may be a huge bias posting on these forums: but i really need some opinion. Thanks alot in advance if you can aid me in my decision.

The Wii Forum biased? Why I never!

The Legend Of Zelda: Twlight Princess is freaking incredible, as is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but MP3 is on a series, so you might want to play the first two before you play it. They are only $20 or less online and in stores and can be played on the Gamecube and the Wii.

I just got Super Paper Mario, great game, very fun and different. Call Of Duty 3 and Medal Of Honour: Vanguard are solid titles if you like shooters.

And there are many more, but I am tired. I can't list all of them, lol.

Thank you all so much for your imput.
Now i hate you all.

Cause i have to wait til christmas! All you guys can just go and play!

Oh well ill have like 7 games at once for wii, and 2 PS3 games to dig into, but i feel the Wii will take up most of my time.
Thank you all so much!

Just to make sure you like the wii games, here are some videos to showcase some of them. This should help you choose what ones you want. Although all 4 are must buys, As of now I only own zelda.

The Wii is a great system, but so is the PS3, I mean it has games like WarHawk, White Knight Story, Assasins Creed... and umm... some other games that are making me want a PS3 right about now lol... I am happy with my Wii though, I just need more games for it XD


It seems Geometry Wars is coming out for the Wii, you should get that

Actually, Im saving up for a ps3 to go alongside my wii. I camt choose between 40 and 80 gig, this is my first ps3. The wii still will own tho, I just want a cheap blu ray player and another game system.
