I'm thinking about getting a Wii today, but I'm not 100% sure

Can anyone tell me why it'd be ok to purchase a Wii now and not have it be a waste of money and time? I know the systems 4 years old, and that sorta worries me. I'd also like to know if there's any games to look forward to, and some games that most people don't know about that I might be interested in

Why it'd be ok and not have it be a waste of money and time? Well I can't speak for you, I can only speak for myself, but just between what was in 2009-2010 and what is coming in 2010, there are way way more good to great games than I have time or will have even well into 2011...

It all depends on your tastes. Some 2009 games you might want to consider, in no particular order:

Metroid Trilogy
A Boy and His Blob
Rabbids Go Home
NSMBWii
Wii Sports Resort
Punchout
Madworld
Tenchu:Shadow Assassins (opinions differ)
Deadly Creatures (opinions differ)
Klonoa
House of the dead: Overkill
Muramasa
Cursed Mountain
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Overlord: Dark Legend (opinions differ)
Dead Space Extraction
Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers (opinions differ greatly)
Little Kings Story
NPC Pikmin
Boom Blox Bash Party
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
Tiger Woods 10 (with MotionPlus)
Shaun White Snowboarding (if you get a balance board)
Rune Factory Frontier

2010 games already out that are worthy of anyone's time:
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
No More Heroes 2
The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
Endless Ocean: Blue World
Shiren The Wanderer

Some Wiiware titles:
World of goo
Lostwinds 1 & 2
Nyxquest
Swords and Soldiers

Not to mention all the VC titles.

Definitely coming up in 2010, some sooner some later:
Fragile
Red Steel 2
Monster Hunter Tri
Arc Rise Fantasia
Sin and Punishment 2
Metroid Other M
Mario Galaxy 2
De Blob 2
Cave Story

(and there are other other major games that might be coming in 2010 but don't have a definite release date like Epic Mickey, Zelda Wii, Xenoblade and Last Story)
