Hello, I'm new. Had to speak up!

Welcome to VGC Sublime (as a newcomer myself, I'm happy to be here as well.)

While I respect your opinions on the different systems, I think that you should give Wii another chance.

"...if a Zelda game wasn't going to win me over on the system... nothing was."

Well, the Wii has come a long way since Twilight Princess, and as such the control methods used have been improving ever sense. To be fair, TP for Wii was cursed by being a port of the GC, and when Wii came out the best Nintendo could do was map the Wii-centric controls to TP.

"I love metroid and zelda games, mario is pretty good."

Now a days Wii has titles such as Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy, which have received unanimous praise. They both take advantage of the new control scheme (Metroid has been praised for its use of the Wii-mote, among other things) and are overall great titles.

I know money is hard to come by, especially to support multiple consoles, but if you have the chance I would encourage you to take it. There's a lot of other great games for Wii on the game shelf and on the horizon, and so far it's a blast.
