The wii was built for women and children xP *joke from work*

Anyways yea I have owned a wii from launch but the major issue is lack of good games and when there is a good one you have to fork out $60+ depending on location so if your already into next gen gaming and stuff with a 360 or a ps3 then you should already be used to game price tags. If not you may buy one vary few and apart. I notice most females just play wii sports and do teh whole "omg I love the wii" but it gets old fast imo. Its only really good when they play in periods of like 1-3 times a week or when friends are over. Other then that its not worth it unless you have some games that intrest you on the machine.

Just got Metriod prime 3 for christmas and it sparked a tiny bit of hope that there could be alot better games out there for the wii one day.

yeah well what else is there left to buy your girlfriend after an aniversary and christmas? its annoying. How does Virtual console work? can you buy Wii points at Eb etc like Microsoft points?

I love the classic nintendo games. the new ones are just bland sequels/look uninteresting.

You can buy the Wiipoints card at any places that you can buy video games stuff. The VC is working by downloading old games from the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Turbografx, Turbografx-CD and Neo Geo on the shop channel.

New games are added on Mondays.

Man, I would never spend that much on my girlfriend. Buy one for yourself unless you're really THAT nice.

The only reason you're mad is because you do not have a girlfriend.

depends on how long you been going out if its been less than 5 months dont bother , no offense you never know what the future holds, if its been close to a year go for it because you guys have more common things you can do together with wii and talk about, and she will love cuz u paid so much she will think you are investing in your relationship and want her for the future, some along that crap girls are always telling me lol but its a good idea

I agree. If you love her and you know you two will go really far together, then get her one. I always thought the Wii is the best present ever to someone, because if I were to give a Wii to my friend, I'm pretty sure they'll be damn grateful. Yes, she'll see it as a sort of investment to the relationship whereas you would spend money on her and I bet she knows how much it costs.

Also, if a girl hints on what she wants (ex: She saw a certain necklace in a store), then you'll be a good boyfriend and buyit for her. Always makes them happy.

Yo man...this is a no-brainer. Yes, get her one. That way you have something to do when you are at her apartment/house when she is talking to you.

I don't have a girlfriend...I have a wife. And my wife bought me a Wii last Christmas. And a 360 this last summer. I have the best wife ever.

I bought my wife one it was a good move unless you ever expect to play it, or if you ever want to see your G/F again. I can do anything i want now and she wouldn't notice b/c she is to busy playing the wii.

Zeldas okay, my simms is boring after a couple of hours, metroid doesn't offer much more than the previous games for gamcube but is still fun, Red steel is cheap but i'm kinda indifferant b/c of crappy controls. Wii sports will provide hours of fun for both of you. medal of honor vanguard is also good. Good luck Man
