I kept my old N64, so I don't really have a point to buy all the old games again. And my screen name is Goron... you think I wouldn't buy a Zelda game?!

Well, like my mother always says: "Remember to check that they buy a Zelda game". Actually, she never said that but it doesn't sound the same when the sentence came from my goldfish named Geoffrey now does it?

I'm rather surprised no one has Trauma Center: Second Opinion.

It's a very good game, and much nicer to play on the Wii than on the DS. And, with a surprising twist story ending that continues past the original DS version!

Poor Dr. Styles... Why did you have to die? Why?

*Coughs* In any case! I'm pretty much awesome at that game. I played it at a lan party and had people sitting behind me going '... holy crap' as I beat a section that the story line required you to use the 'healing touch' (for those of you who don't know what that is, it basically slows down time so you can finish the surgery faster (as the male doctor) or heals your patient every so often (as the new female doctor)), without actually using the healing touch.

I found it sort of funny that the nurse there was saying 'Wow. So that was the healing touch?' after I beat the level. And then another doctor kept saying 'Be careful with using that healing touch.' And another going 'That healing touch was amazing!'. I just kept looking and shouting "You idiots! Are you blind? I never used it! I'm just a skilled doctor!"

As for Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, I'm a little bit sad. I though I had saved the game at one point in the middle of the Underwater temple, and when I turned it back on the play again, I was a lot farther back than I had been originally. I ended up having to go through another thirty minutes of game play just to get back where I was- and just so you know, I'm not fond of that darn Zora temple. I just want it to be over and done with. =(

*starts breathing fire and screaming like a madman*

DAMN YOU ASHEN, WHY DIDN'T YOU WRITE SMALLER!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AT ALL?!?!?!?! ARGHARGHARGHARGHARGHARGHARGH^infinite!

My now extreme hatred for Ashen spoiling the ending to a no-doubt awesome game aside, from having played Trauma Center on DS many many times I'd also highly recommend it. I can't wait until it comes out in Australia (even if I now already know the ending to it...)

Zelda's really good, Red Steel is a pretty decent game too... I don't really own that many Wii games to be honest, I'm not sure why. Personally I'm hanging out for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though that's probably not coming out for a while...

There are some pretty cool games in the Wii Shop, try not to just limit yourself to 64 games (I'm like Goron, I still have my 64 and all of it's games). I used to play games like Ecco the Dolphin and Alex Kidd all the time when I was really little, it's great to be able to play them again. Sonic 1 is currently available too, but I always preferred 2 over it so I won't recommend it Razz

Wii Sports - Great for parties
Wii Play - Seems to be more to help get used to the controls
LoZ: Twilight Princess - AWESOME!
Red Steel - Also awesome
WarioWare: Smooth Moves - Very very good, best to stand up to play i though
Excite Truck - Also very, very good
Sonic and the Secret of the Rings - It's good, but, there are many times where you'll have to do challenges and end up getting frustrated, which is not so good.
SSX - The controls... are really, really bad. I don't recommend it

These are all the ones I've got, and bar Wii Play and SSX I'd say they're all pretty good. Tony Hawks may be worth considering too, although I've yet to play that myself

Wario Ware is a pretty fun game, but I hated how they did the multiplayer mode. Wario Ware's gimmick is that it's fast paced multiplayer fun, but by forcing everybody to share the one controller it just makes it frustrating...

I agree, we usually play 1P mode instead of multiplayer (except for darts, which is okay with one controller since there's no time limit).

My parents love that game, and I must say that Wii Play isn't that bad either - it's a great way to get your non-gamer friends/family/younger siblings/cousins into games that you can all play, and a few of the Wii Play games can be quite challenging against human opponents - in particular Target Practice (which I insist on calling Duck Hunt ... >.> ) Air Hockey and Tank Wars generally have the best fun.

Of the lot, Find Mii (you have to pick out a certain character on screen according to the directions) falls VERY FLAT. It's just a bad, bad game... both in game mechanics and frustration level. Beware if you have any similar looking Miis on your console, you'll instantly hate this game outright. Also, because it doesn't keep the written prompt of what you're looking for on the screen while you're searching, if you looked away while the level was loading you're doomed to failure. :\
