Adding the Wii to my collection.. my Nintendo consoles so far are:

NES
SNES
N64
Gameboy Colour
Gameboy Advance
Gameboy SP
Gamecube
DS Original
DS Lite

I'd like to know some good games for the system if you know any, I'm surely getting Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, I'd like to play through one first. :), Twilight Princess and Super Smash Bros Brawl..

Those seem to be the most loved games, what are some other good ones?

Hey, great for you my man!

I'd recommend Monster Hunter Tri, and both Okami and RE4 if you don't have them for other consoles already.
From Nintendo first party I'd recommend Metroid Prime Trilogy, I don't think they sell it new anymore, but pick it up used before it disappears.
I'd also say NSMBW, but only if you can get it for 35 bucks or less, or if you've got some money to blow. It's very fun, but is too easily beatable.
And finally, we all know that Nintendo's got some great titles coming up, I'm sure you've heard all about them and maybe that's even why you're getting a wii now.

Have fun with it when you get it :)

I really reccomend Monster Hunter Tri if you're into Action Rpg's and you like the idea of hunting Dragons and stuff.

House of the dead and the resident evil rail shooter are two fun games if you have a friend over. Paper Mario is also a great game.

Yay, I'm getting my Wii in an hour and I just picked up three second hand games which.. to me look like new and have all the booklets etc, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Twilight Princess (Zelda) and Wii Sports (Came in a nice Wii case/booklet) I think we have that in Australia only or something?

The guy tested them at the store, if they fuck up I get a 7 day period to ask for a refund.

Cool, the Wii's awesome and any Nintedno Fan/Retro Gamer will love the Virtual Console and the backwords compatability.

Here's a few I'd reccommend:
Boom Blox
Madworld
Red Steel 2
Metroid Prime Trilogy (or Metroid Prime 3 if you can't find it)
Super Paper Mario
New Super Mairo Bros. wii
Wario Land: Shake it
Monster Hunter Tri
Dead Space Extraction
Excitebots
Punchout

Enjoy the Wii-ey goodness!

Hopefully my Wii will be in by the end of the week, but Amazon free shipping is dirt slow, so I won't get my hopes up. Already got three games (Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii). Even though I already beat New Super Mario Bros, I feel like going through it again.

Sucks, I find myself wanting to replay one when I have a huge pile of unfinished games. Silly me.

Sometimes you get lucky with that free shipping. The actual time in transit is often only 2-3 days for me, it just depends when they decide to send it out in the first place, but there have been times I've gotten stuff within 4-5 days of ordering and using the free shipping, as they almost always ship before their estimated ship date.

EDIT: Some further hope for you, I just ordered things with the free shipping yesterday, and they just shipped today, not even a full days wait even though they estimated the items wouldn't ship until a week from now.
EDIT again: I received my order today, wednesday with the free shipping after ordering it just two days ago on monday, so hopefully that provides some hope for you.

Very pleased with my Wii considering it's second hand, I've got the Wii Sports Disc too, and it actually came in a hard case, not a little sleeve.

I also picked up Super Smash Brothers Brawl, I'm borrowing Mario Kart Wii off of my friend and I'm currently renting Super Mario Galaxy.

SSBB was $39, it's $99 in most stores, us Australian's have high prices on games. :(

You're right. It arrived 2 days after shipping. Amazing little system! Having fun replaying New Super Mario Bros., checking out the Nintendo and News channels. Looked at the Wii Shop some. Wish they had previews. Played with the DS demos some. Transmission of demos is such an awesome idea and I hope they add more demos. And I hope Sony copies this idea with the PS3/PSP combo. It's amazing. I really, really like it.

Also, I had no real intention of playing the Wii Sports games, but I'm having a real fun time with Wii Sports Resorts. Haven't tried all the sports yet. I'm mainly sticking to the current ones I like, like table tennis and sword fighting. I'm actually thinking it's not such a bad pack-in game after all.

Yeah, as much as I love the DS, it was worth giving up one month's worth of DS games for the Wii, a new system. But I do need to start collecting again soon. Some of these DS games are getting real expensive and hard to find...

I enjoy the demos for ds on the wii, it's a great way to spread the word for games people may not know about, and let people give them a try. Glad to hear it shipped quick.

Let me know if you suffer from the "play for 3 months then never touch it again" syndrome that the Wii seems to induce for some.
