Forums - Nintendo - Buying a Wii this week (Sony fan)

Get a Black Friday priced Wii U. Plays Wii games and U games because there will be likely one game on the U that you would like to play so you dont end up in this position at the end of the upcoming gen. Kupo above me is also right about finding a new or like new one around $200 in the coming months.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

About the title, can the OP explain, if there is some rule that a PS/Sony fan should relent from buying a Wii?

Hmmm... *did i miss something during those meetings!?*



60$ for that Wii is not a good deal if you ask me.. you can get a refurbished one at Gamestop for an additional $20 and you get games and a controller with it.



I won't try to lecture you on your purchase decision, congrats on branching out - I recently did a similar (yet opposite) thing in that I bought a PS3 earlier this year after having a Wii all 7th Gen and having a Wii U now.

You say you plan to get Mario Galaxy 1/2 and Zelda TP, very nice choices and if you buy your games new those are all still in print and discounted by Nintendo (I think they're $19.99 or $29.99 not sure)

My personal top 5 recommendations would be:

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Xenoblade Chronicles
Zelda: Skyward Sword (it needs Wii Motion+ or the newer Wiimote+)
Battalion Wars 2
Monster Hunter Tri (although if you have a 3DS or plan to get a Wii U eventually the MH3U release is superior)

Keep in mind Smeags' Wii Recommendation thread on these forums: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=67101&page=1

Also if you do get a used Wii from early enough in the Wii's lifetime it should be backwards compatible with the Gamecube (although the more current ones are not) if you're lucky enough there you might want to explore the Gamecube's titles - as you are getting Zelda: TP I assume you didn't/don't have a Gamecube, of course if you do/did that's not applicable.

Hope you have fun! Also keep an open mind, the less 'core' games like the Wii series, Mario Kart, etc. might be worth maybe a rent (gamefly is useful for games you don't think you'll want to own but just want to try out) they can be a whole lot of fun.

No, too bland and generic. It was worth for the multiplayer and impressive graphics, but multi is dead by now.

Metroid Prime Trilogy.

If not, then Metroid Prime 3 at the very least.

This.

Okami as well, if you didn't play it on the PS3/PS2.
