Long time listener, first time caller. After having jumped ship ship last generation (formerly a proud PS2 and GC owner), I've decided it's time to dive back in. The buzz from on high (and vgc) makes me think i better not wait any longer. I figure all you smart kids can help me out here. Couple of Q's:

1) Is there an easy way to track down a wii? (aside from talking to clueless sales associates and driving all over town, because even now, after 11 months, i can still count the number of times i've seen a wii "in the wild" on one hand)

2) Any suggestions on must-have games?

 

1) If you don't want to drive around town, the only solution is to keep all their numbers available and call them on Sunday mornings to check if they have them in stock. As soon as they do, hurry and go get it. The other way of doing it is by looking through craigslist to find a used one. If you are like me, you can keep checking until you find one that is not overpriced (often because they go fast).

2) I would love to tell you a long list of games I want to buy that are out already. I will keep it real and only tell you about the ones I played though. I played Godfather and RE4. I recommend both if you like the type of game and didn't play it before.

I didn't play many Wii games because I don't have too much time and I am playing all the GC games I missed first (Wind Waker, Metroid Prime 1, Ikaruga and now Pikmin).
