for mario kart wii, you don't need more wheels
you can play with a nunchuck, gamecube controller, or the wiimote on the side (tilt control).
the wii wheel is just a plastic case to make tilt more fun

Cool, it sounds like a good buy; I'll add it to the list. And it seems I don't need to use the wheel eithere, by your post; is that correct? So, if I buy the game, could I play 3-player immediately with two Wii-mote things and a Wii-wheel thing? |
no, the wheel is a case for the wiimote

Obviously not all my games are must haves, but out of the games I own I would choose these 5 in this order that you don't own (assuming you already bought galaxy). These are based on my own personal tastes and knowing you want games for your family. If I was only buying games for myself I might change some of my picks out. 1) Mario Kart Wii - best bang for the buck, and best Mario Kart to date. Mario Kart 64 beats this in battle mode, but the online racing totally rocks (note online is 2p only, but the local 4p is very customizable) 2) Punch-Out!! - this is a fast pace dodge/punch game. Essentially it is all pattern recognition, but totally rocks. If you're not sure, download Punch-Out!! for NES on VC. Lots of fun for everyone. 3) Mario Strikers Charged - unless you completely hate soccer/football this game is awesome. The game is hard if you try to win the striker cup, but tons of fun to play together. I spent weeks trying to beat this with my brother. It has the perfect mix of motion control and pointing. 4) Shuan White Snowboarding: Road Trip - excellent use of the balance board. You can play 3 people at a time while using the balance board and it is a lot of fun. The regular controls are a little lame, but swaping out who uses the balance board makes this lots of fun. 5) Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn - If you like strategy games you can't go wrong wit this. If you've never played a strategy game before this game can be punishing. However, this was the game that got me into strategy video games and I've been hooked ever since. ---- other games worth buying but single player experience hence why I left them off my top 5 Metroid Prime 3 - but I'd wait for the collection as it would be the same price but you would get all 3 games. Unless you don't like the First Person Adventure experience you shouldn't get bored from playing all 3. However, you can always play other games in between finishing them just to break things up. --- The rest of the games I own are take it or leave it. Okami is an ok Zelda ripoff, but I got bored of it after it ended for the 3rd time (they tricked me into thinking it was over anyways). Tales of Symphonia is ok and I bought it because I was a fan of the first which is a lot better. Gemoetry wars is great if you like SHMUPS. So, as you can see they are quality titles, just not must haves in my opinion. |
Very helpful. Thanks muchly for that. Mario Kart Wii is now essential. Punch-Out!! I'm not convinced by. Mario Strikes Charged doesn't sound like my cup of tean, but I'm open to being convinced; I'm not a football man at all. Shawn White sounds okay; I may pick that if I see it dead cheap. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, however, sounds awesome -- really awesome. I'll have to check what the internet says about that.
Oh, and yes, a bit of Zelda is always good. I'll have to take a look at that as well, I think.
As for games I like: my game collection gives a broad idea, I suppose.

Zack and Wiki is a point & click adventure. I bought it since I got it for $6, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a fan of those games. It plays slow so while I beat most of it I got bored. As you get farther the stages get longer and dieing sets you back a lot more. |
Hmm, don't know if I could be arsed with that. Perhaps if I spot it very cheap indeed.
fire emblem is awesome, and the internet agrees

FIre Emblem: Radiant Dawn is awesome, but you should pick up Path of Radiance before that if that's your kind of thing. Radiant Dawn is the sequel - Path of Radiance is a Gamecube game, but since you have a Wii that isn't a problem, I suppose.

Here is a topic where some of the Fire Emblem fanatics gather.

You got ripped off on that cable. I bought a $5 one online twice. One I gave to my brother. |
Yeah, I kinda knew that. I popped into my local Gamestation as the picture I had at home looked really bad on my set, and I wanted an immediate solution -- it was all they had. Unfortunately, the image didn't look all that much better in 480p -- it seems the Wii doesn't look so good on a 1080p set. Ah well, I kinda expected it, but, still, I'd kinda hoped for more. It certainly makes the PS3 look like god's gift to graphics (I won't mention my PC at all, as it's just embarrassing for the poor, wee Wii). Still, the Wii was never meant to be about the graphics, was it.

I never played Bully, but Godfather: Blackhand edition is essentially the same kind of game (sandbox game) and was the best I've ever played. I never had more fun choking, beating and shooting people to death. I know, it sounds so horrible |
No, it sounds like a good bit of gaming to me.
On that, for those that know, how do Wii games of this ilk compare to PS3 games of this ilk? Am I better sticking to PS3 games for this sort of stuff, or is there anything on the Wii worth checking out?

It was all water weight. As you sweat you can easily lose 10lb of weight if you don't rehydrate yourself. Which is why you should weigh youself once a day before you really do anything. (so, does all my replies start to count as spamming yet |
Trust me, they only count as spamming if all my replies do; it looks like I'm going to be here all night asking questions!
And, I didn't sweat at all, unfortuantely. It was only 10 minutes of messing with mini-games, and I was messing with the easy stuff.
