We're in! We've had our Wii for a few weeks now. Got Play/control and another Nunchuk along with Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime:Corruption. I also downloaded the original Zelda and now I'm trying to remember all of the stuff. How long has it been since I played that?

Now we have Guitar Hero:World Tour and that's a blast. Can't wait until N releases the second guitar so we can play two up. Or we'll just buy our son GH:WT and steal his extra guitar from GH3.

Note to self: Must download Tetris for SWMBO. I wonder if there is Ninja Gaiden for VC as that was her other favorite game.

FWIW, I spent plenty of time on the original console but lost interest when the kids got N16,S-N,GC, GB, GBC, DS, or whatever... So I've skipped a lot of stuff in between. It's fun to be back in and I can see why the Wii is so popular. I had to look around but finally found one at a local Wally-world.

Hey All! I just bought a new 2008 Wii, Wii Fit, zapper, extra wiimote and nunchuck, and a rechargable base station for the wiimotes and a kit for the fit! Its a Christmas present for the wife (for both of us actually). She has no idea that I actually got one for her! She likes the idea of the wii fit, and we both hope to use it to lget some exercise!

I can't wait till the 25th!!! She is gonna be so excited (as am I)!

Im not only interested in the games and workout stuff, but also the ability to surf the web on the TV, use it as a streaming media center, and install a few hacks to expand its usefullness even more!!!

Woo Hoo!!! Glad to be here!

sorry if this has been asked somewhere else before

for tennis youd just need the controller but for other games youd definately need the nunchuk too!

[mstiffie]

Well not really, isn't it just boxing? But half of the wii sports games you don't need a nunchuck.

Getting a Wii for Christmas - can't wait. Mum bought it with Wii accessory pack or what not ... parents had to drive to Argos which was 40mi away to get it . They are still difficult to get in the UK as they're either in stock for days or not at all. Not allowed the Wii 'till Christmas day though .

Fed Ex finally delivered it today. Won it at work, sort of. I run lots of sales contests, normally I just administer the contest, not eligible to win. So my timing of taking a day off worked perfectly.

Well corporate pitted me against 4 others nationally. I was ecstatic at the chance to win, and thanked the guy running it over and over for giving me the chance to win something, when I normally can't. Well as the contest wore on, corporate realized the could not accurately measure the results, just did not have the metrics to measure, so the guy calls me and says he's sending it to me.

I'm already hooked. Any pointers in how to putt in golf? Am I correct in saying you can't play others in golf on-line?

Thanks!

Congrats on winning your wii (you deserved it )

If you get Tiger Woods 2008 it has online play and offers a much better golfing experience than the Wii sports golf (which is still fun... but Tiger Woods has a lot more to it)
