Hey, I just got Wii too. About a week ago I got old xbox with some games for almost nothing on a garage sale. My very first console. I can't believe how difficult it is using thumbs, I am having major problems with it. But I got into Burnout 3 and that was insane fun.
But this weekend I saw Wii in the local CC just by chance and grabbed it. What a difference! I didn't play with friends yet so don't know how good it is with a group, but playing solo is amazing. I got the Wii version of Resident Evil 4, and that is really great. Super Paper Mario is still shrink wrapped, but I think I'll get to it later today.
For someone who is just starting with console gaming, Wii is making it really easy. I still want to get used to the old Xbox -- I mean it works for so many people. I just don't have the right touch, my thumbs are really clumsy, don't have fine control.
Oh, and I am probably the only person in the universo who is not impressed with Wii Sports.
