The only experience I've found that messes with my wii is when my friend dropped the wiimote playing golf, and it stopped working as well, but only for golf.. Maybe we just got stupid after that and couldnt do it anymore.

My Wii is like 3 inches above the ground so I think its fine, your is too though, more than likely.

Of the games I have, I would say for mindless fun, Starwars Episode 3. It had dog fights, sidescrolling beatem up action, and some funny moments.

For classic fun, New Super Mario Bros, for its new things and the old things we loved watching. Sad to see no yoshi though.

Racing, definatly Mario Kart. Its got all you need, racing, and cartoony graphics and fun.

Strategy for me has got to be any of the Yu Gi Oh games. Nightmare Troubadore had increasingly difficult AI, whom would pick you apart. GX Spirit Caller has AI that gradually gets better, but its easier to jump to each no level of hardness than before. I havent played the new one.

Castlevania Portrate of Ruin is fun, despite the fact that I'm stuck and I never was really good at these kinds of games.

I hated Phoenix Wright.

Super Mario 64, I got to where I got when I had it for 64. That staircase lol.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue is good for like half hour increments.

I dont know, I Cant remember other games off my head.

Ive been alternating between Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Mission, Blue Team. Its fun in short burts like subway rides.

I switch it wit Yu Gi Oh GX every few days though.

I cant find my ff3 :'(
