Where can I find my friend code? :P

And how can I install internet channel?

To find your friend code: from the Wii menu click the envelope... then click your address book.

you'll find the internet channel by searching the shop channel.

Edit: can't say on the home brew channel... I would suspect yes it will disable it.

I think this is the last question I have.

Is rgb cable good enough? I have only one component connector on my tv and switching component cables is very annoying.

Yes, it's fine. I use it and it's good.

As for cheap games, try the following

Okami

Conduit

No More Heroes 1 and 2

Red Steel 2

Pikmin

Little King's Story

Metroid Prime Coruption

Galaxy

Online games (e.g Bit.Trip runner, World Of Goo)

Dead Space-Extraction

Resident Evil 4

Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles

 

There are more but these should be plenty fine for now :)

I have no interest on Okami.

Might buy conduit if I can find it for 10€. Not sure about that, the cover is a turn off. (really, wtf)

NMH1&2 are cheap, will be ordering them later.

Red steel 2, looks meh. Maybe if I find one really cheap.

No interest on pikmin.

Already ordered little king's story for 11€.

Metroid prime, too expensive.

Already own mario galaxy, but this one is not cheap anyway.

Not going to buy any downloadable games on any console. Never.

Dead space extraction/RE lightgun games, will most likely get one or two of them after I get a "gun" for wii.

Already own RE4 on ps2.

 

Thanks for your effort, even though it wasn't a perfect match for me. :)

 

And damn you all who recommended WM with wii sports resort. I paid 30€ for it while I could have gotten the WM solus for 15€. :P Oh well, I might feel a bit better when I get PGA 10.

 

Oh and damn you wii fit yoga for showing me that I really need to stretch out more. :D



wait for the new Wiimote with motion pluse built in, any game published and developed by Nintendo is a must buy, and resident evil 4 for game cube is just 1 a many GC games u should pick up.

NP- now I know more about what you like, so I can go more narrow-minded.

Just explain your lack of Okami-interest. I NEVER would have bought it, until a friend gave it me for a week. I've now played it for 150 hours, 100í it 3 times and love it! Don't be put off by the art...

Also, if you don't buy online, you're missing out. A LOT. Explain why. If you'd like

There is little to explain. I just don't like that kind of games. Graphics are one reason why I don't like it but not the biggest one. Okami is kind of like Zelda for me. Everyone says that they are great games but I just don't want to play them. Even if I really try to get myself to play them. Just.. no. Can't do it.

I don't buy those small games online (xbla/wiiware), because you can't sell them later. Sometimes I buy DLC (halo map packs mostly). I do buy games from steam, but only the really good deals.

OK, that makes sense. I'm not pushy :P

Anyway, if that's the case, you may want to have a look at some of the upcoming Wii games, such as Conduit 2, The Grinder and Goldeneye. I know you said "cheap" games, but perhaps one of those 3 may be acceptable for you. If not, there's always the COD games, although I hate them, so don't expect any feedback from me...

Some whine:

What is up with used wii game prices? Almost everyone tries to sell those games for more than what they cost online.  Gahhhh!

Even the really crappy games like madagascar cartz and such are being sold for like 20€. Do not compute.

Depends on the game... most Nintendo 1st party games yeah, they sell 2nd hand for only about 10-20% discount from full retail... this is because people will buy them for that because they are still wanted even months, or years in some cases, after launch. (in addition, most of those who buy them keep them, so 2nd hand copies are more rare)
Many games though live on hype, they sell fantastically in the first week, and within a month there are loads of 2nd hand copies to be found, and not many people are actually bothered about buying the game anymore... the online aspect of things like shooters has helped (I think) lessen the number of people who buy 1st week and sell 2 weeks later, but it hasn't helped people be interested in the game a few months after launch (for example if they couldn't afford to buy at launch, but then decide against buying at all later on... or if they are new to the console after the launch of a hyped game)

However there are many Wii games you can find used or new (Amazon) for cheap... No More Heroes 2 for example can be found for about £10-15, and No more Heroes for £5-10. I am planning on buying The Sky Crawlers soon, which is currently £9 on Amazon.

Here is what I paid for some of my games:
£20 - Metroid Prime Trilogy (3 games for £20... good deal if you ask me... when new this went for £45)
£12 - The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
£3.87 - Madworld (It's not a good game though... but at that price you can't say no... I sold it 3 weeks later for £3 so I essentially paid 87p and still got 12 hours of mild entertainment from it)
£25 - F12009 with wheel accessory (this was new, and about 1 month after launch... the copy with the wheel originally RRPed for £45... Sainsburies FTW!)
£10 - Sim City Creator (flawed but still enjoyable sim city game)
£8 - Geometry Wars Galaxies
£12 - Okami (new copy... ASDA ftw!)
£15 - No More Heroes (can be found for less than half this now though, this was about 3-4 months after it came out)
£15 - Metroid Prime 3 (about 10 months after release)
£20 - Battalion Wars II (just over a year after release)
£22 - Excite Truck (about 6 months after release)

The lower down the list the longer ago, so those games can generally be found much cheaper now... I think I recently saw Battalion Wars going for £3 for example... that's a bargain as it's awesome (though this long after release there isn't much of an online scene anymore... can take a while to find someone to play with)
