    The best game is Wii Sports that comes w the console.
    I tried Zelda and Paper Mario, but there is way too much 'story' for my taste.
    I also tried Mario Cart, and as the person above said w Smash Bros., it left me unsatisfied, as it was pretty much a re-hash other than the controls and didnt do much to re-invigorate the franchise.

    I'd suggest renting a system and a few games to see if your in it for the long haul. The novelty wears off quick for a lot of people, and of course most the games are better for your present system.

    Im waiting for 'Skate It' Nov 17th.

    I've played my Wii like twice. I'm going to sell it and get an XBOX360 which is better for Madden, Live, NCAA, etc.

    Really? Cause I actually knew a lot of people that were brought back into gaming because of the Wii. I have a PS3 as well as the Wii, personally Wii reminds me more of the fonder simplistic pleasures of the games, instead of a 40 hour + investment in games. I think if you're part of the Halo generation of gamers, then Wii might not be the system for you, but if you enjoyed Mario 3, then I think there are titles on the that you can find enjoyable.

    There were 6 of them in the display case at the Wal-mart near me the last time I was there.
