Got my Wii around 2 weeks after launch (uk) and my wife and I lost 2 weeks of my life playing Zelda - TP, this was followed by Red Steel, I also thought this was fantastic but I love most FPS. After that it has become a retro machine with the wife still working through Mario 64 (she had a NES and SNES growing up but never a N64) and me playing Starfox.
Even though the wii games have been a little slow (Godfather was also very enjoyable, Tony Hawks has us glued for a fortnight and Excite trucks is the only non-football game my brother has played in his life - and he completed it) the Wii has been switched on i'd say at an average of 5 days a week for one thing or another and when we moved 3 days ago, my wife sat with the fish on her knee for the journey to ensure they weren't damaged in the back and I was still more concerned about the Wii (this got taken out first and set up first).
Very looking forward to next 6 months though as this is where it will move into 2nd gear with fp games slowly trickling out, new vc announcements, demo channels etc all will be out by xmas - still getting more excited with each new annoucement.
finally bought Mario Strikers Charged on 25/5 - what a game!!! definetly worth the wait and I'd reccomend it to everyone..
Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are...
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
