Wii - what's worth getting?

[JulianHJ]

My wife ordered a Wii as a bit of a suprise, so I'm quite chuffed. She got the Wii Fit as well.

What else is worth getting for it? We need a second controller I think, are there any other essential/dead handy accessories?

Which are the best games for it?

Cheers!

Second controller is a must. Get Wii Play, it comes with a controller.

As for games, our favourites are: Mario Kart, Play & Resident Evil 4.

Raving Rabbids. Mad. Fun.

[JulianHJ]

We're loving Wii Fit, and we'll be buying Raving Rabbids and Wii Play tomorrow providing the local Asda has them in stock (seems to be the cheapest place locally).

Mario Kart is top of my wants list after that, I think.

Cheers for the advice!

Boom blox is great! It's a physics-based puzzler where you get to blow things up! Has distinct jenga-style gameplay as well.

Mario Galaxy is gorgeous to behold, pure fun.

Metroid Corruption is really good if you like atmospheric shooters, the controls are brilliant compared to halo etc etc.

And don't forget the virtual console - loads of classic SNES and Megadrive, etc. games just a download (and a few quid) away. I reckon I spend as much time playing old games as I do the new stuff.

Also recommend House of the Dead and Ghost Squad, if you like zapper games. Each can be had for about £10.

Let me know if you get it and we can play online.

Mario and Sonic at the olympics, great fun. Brings back many a memory of Daly Thompson games and button mashing fun

I loved Zelda, currently playing Mariokart, M&S Olympics and wanting Galaxies

Register your games / console on Club Ninetendo, then convert the stars to Wii points... and download some more stuff for no additional cost.

2nd Boom Blox, pretty good solo play with some nice puzzles, but throw another player or 3 into the mix (and some beers if thats what yeah fancy) and its a blast.

Id also say the same about ravin' rabbids 2, absolutely superb fun with 4 players.

Brain Academy is fun but other players get bored when the brainy ones wins all the time

Mario Galaxy is probably the best single player game on the Wii.

+1 - but get the first one, not the sequel.

Anyone know where to buy Wii Fit in the shops? The Rabbits thing didn't appeal to me, it came as part of a bundle. We exchanged it at Game. Boxing is great exercise.

We got a charging dock and rechargable battery packs for ours, saves you having to feed the remote with AA batteries.

Thought I'd ad to this...

de Blob.
