    I just bought a Wii over xmas and wanted to know what are some good games that will give me a work out, I mainly bought the wii for that reason. So far I have Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, EA active fitness, and NBA live 09 Alll play. I played the Bigs 2 and it's pretty good, plan on getting that one too.

    Exercise? If you have the Wii fit board, use that.

    If not, try with the boxing games.

    Mario Galaxy is the best game on the Wii....Mario kart is fun multi players (though neither is really work out related)

    Agreed 1000% , also recommend Smash Bros. Neither are workout games though. I think the Mario/Sonic Olympic games let you use the balance board. Not 100 positive but if they do they are decently fun games.

    how is the wii motion function implemented with this game or is this a game you just play the classic way holding a controller?? I heard it is good but I doubt I'll buy unless it uses motion somehow. I think it's what makes the wii so fun, otherwise I use my ps3 to play games since the graphics are superior.

    I have nba 2k10 on PS3, I don't plan on getting it for Wii bc the graphics would stink. I got nba live 09 yesterday and although the game play is fun, the graphics are horrendous! It looks like a game for N64 or something.

    The Metroid Prime series is great. It makes the best use of the wii controllers

    It doesn't use a lot of motion. You use the controller sideways but have some tilts and shakes for a few things. However, if you are basing the fun of a game solely on the graphics because the Wii is inferior to the PS3 you will be making a big mistake on this game. I have a PS3 too and have played some games on it that were graphically beautiful but were about as much fun as sticking forks in your eyes. this game will not make you feel like you are actually in the Mushroom Kingdom, but it is one of the most fun games I have played in a while. It is definitely worth a look especially if you are a fan of the old Mario games or a fan of games that are fun.

    or super mario galaxy, smash bros., mario cart, sports resort, etc.
    the Wii is all about fun. if i had to pick a best i'd probably go with mario kart. my three year old can play it, my wife (who hates video games) enjoys it, and my eldest sons and i are pretty obsessed. that's quite a feat.

    Question:

    If you want to get a Wii and download a bunch of the old NES/SNES/64 games, does the Wii hard drive space similar to a 360?

    If not, how is there a way to keep the games you purchase online or is it not possible?

    How much space is that though? How big are the downloadable games..

    Cause I know if you only have a 20 gb HDD on the 360, you could prolly only save 2-3 games on the hard drive, not counting the marketplace games.

    You're best bet for a workout would probably be Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus...but keep in mind if you are already in pretty good shape, these and any other games out there might not be challenging enough for you.
