GameCube / Wii Hardware Seems as though Nintendo has lost some of their gamers to Sony's and Microsoft's edgier systems. Can the Wii help?

Niiice.

Naturally, you're going to need Wiimotes + Joysticks which come to 55$ a pair, retail. But T2 can probably find a better deal. Classic controllers are nice if you plan on buying games from the virtual console.

As for current games, I would say Wii Play (more mini games) is a good choice for kids, along with Mario Sluggers (coming out in the future), then there is Mario Strikers which is a decent game. But hands down the best game on there right now is Super Smash Brothers brawl (Great for adults and kids)

as for SD cards, I have a 2GB in mine, and I hardly use it. I've got one replay on there, and... thats it.

I like simple but intense arcadey games so I'd recommend Excite Truck, Geometry Wars Galaxies, Ghost Squad, House of the Dead, and of course Mario Galaxy. Couldn't hurt to grab bubble bobble off the virtual console either.

Yeah the new Mario Kart is great. Constant action but very pick-up-and-play unlike the gc version

Don't forget that there are classic games available for download.

My brother and I still get a kick out of "River City Ransom" using the Wii Classic Controllers.

I've been playing House of the Dead for the past few days and I'm longing for a perfect shot. Did you get a gun game to go with it?

If you're going to buy the pistols, get the Nyko ones, those work best. Even better than the official Nintendo ones.

You better keep me posted on your games you get so i know which ones a good or bad to get,since it looks like your on a Wii buying gaming spree.. and i do agree with you on the two hand controllers man it is so much easier with a Wii Digital Arcade Stick, have you thought trying out any of the boxing games with the gloves they sell i been thinking of getting 2 sets of them with the new game that will be coming out shortly called Don Kings Presents,Prizefighters due out on 9/26/08.. here is are the boxing gloves..
