Ok, opinions needed from Nintendo fans............Please read before you tear me apart.

I want to get rid of the Wii/trade in for 360 games, The wife and child love it.

The love of your wife and child is worth more than $100-150 or so you would get from the Wii. 

I hear Banjo Kazooie 3 is going to blow away a lot that is out there as far as family entertainment.

And it's not even close to being released. When it is, no one knows how good it will be (those who say it's great are either Rare employees or 360 fanboys, and in either case such reports can be ignored) and Rare has a very spotty track record post Conker's Bad Fur Day. Lastly, you'd be trading in a system that, I suspect, is chok-a-blok full of games your wife and child enjoy, possibly because the WiiMote makes it easier to control, all for one game that maybe they'll want to play. 

Here is my question, I was thinking on giving the wii another chance with Mario Kart..

Help people, Is Mario Kart wii better than the 64 version and how much better, please be honest.

PS The only reason I bought the wii was for Zelda/Red Steel. 

I was on the site a while back and took the advice from Legend and bought a 360.............I am so glad that I did, very entertaining and bought so many games for so little money. 


I think MKWii is a good title. I wouldn't say its as good as MK64, but then that was my first MK title, and I had far more time to devote to it. Of course, for the same reason I wouldn't say it's worse than MK64 - I simply haven't had the chance to explore the games depth or try it online.

However, for the reasons I outlined above, I think it'd be mistake to dump your Wii.
