Any advice on a wii?

think any version should do as there really hasnt been any detrimental bugs with this system as opposed to that system. some good kids games r mario kart and the wii sports which it comes with, which r also good family games. some games that I enjoyed r star wars force unleashed, resident evil 4, mad world, zelda to name a few. enjoy it, i love my wii but ull find alotta ppl on here dont like it

Yeah well I am not a big wii fan due to it feeling like its aimed at younger kids. If I was buying for me it would be a PS3. The last new nintendo systems I owned we the NES and SNES.(N64 was terrible and I never bought another nintendo after playing a bit on that)

But the PS3 and Xbox360 really don't cater to the little kids. I found a couple of dora and diego games that are probably what I will grab, just have no clue if they suck or not.

I'm not to big of a wii fan and mine seems to be collecting dust, but I'll give my thoughts on it.

1) Sorry I can't help on bundles since I bought mine ages ago.
2) I think you should get 3 or 4 so you can do multiplayer and play with the kids.
3 + 4) Not sure about this either. However, I think many of the Mario games, like Mario Kart and Party, would be a pretty good choice for the whole family. The wii sports game that came included in mine was good for when friends and family decided they wanted to play with the wii.
5) Really I haven't played too many wii games, but I would recommend Twilight Princess (only if your a Zelda fan or else you probably won't like it), Resident Evil 4, and if your a Mario fan, Galaxy would be another good choice.

Alright I appreciate the help a ton, because I hate going in blind.

Honestly the game that gets the most play from my Wii is Rock Band 2 >.>

Stay away from Red Steel and other crap games like that, you may like Boom Blox, and I wanna get De Blob so you may look into those games, Rubix world is a nice party game too.

Yeah I doubt I will have enough money to invest in rock band(and all the toys).

Anyone else?

not to keen on the Wii my self but the black one looks so cool!

I have a 360 and a Wii, with a 7 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. Honestly I find that they play the 360 more but the Wii does get some occasional use.

Mario Kart is pretty much a "must have" for anyone who owns a Wii. There is a decent "homebrew" following for the system which should give you access to countless games, of course the same can be said about the 360 as well.

wii's are good for kids they will love it

as mentioned boom blox is good for the whole family, super mario galaxy (galaxy 2 soon) is a fantastic game for any mario fans and prety much anything with mario in on the wii is worth a go. it also has the new metroid wich you should enjoy

as mentiond before you realy do need one remote for everyone who will be playing and rechargable batterys are a must. There is also some very good arcade games available so a couple of the clasic pads/ gamecube pads might be worth a look at. its also very easy to run some clasic nes/snes megadrive emulators on there aswell

all in all there good little machines for what they are, they are FUN not serious gaming machines

No wonder the wii is cheaper than the other consoles.....

Wii = $199
3x controllers($40ea) = $120
2xgames used for daughter($20ea) = $40
Wii fit plus = $90
Game for son = $18
Recharger for two controllers = $20

Total = $487.....wow.

I am having a hard time finding any games that I am even slightly interested in. Found several for the kids and wife which is the main purpose anyways. The graphics on this thing look like my old ps2 at best.

lol man wii games are 480p

most ps2 games were 480i, a few were 480p, and a bunch were even lower res :/ not that many games have widescreen support either.

but yeah the library for the wii is pretty weak.

Any games containing the words Mario and Kart in the same sentence. Loved that game on the old Nintendo. :'>
