We should be getting more in stock again here in Canada very soon. I want to buy one but before I do I want to know if Nintendo is doing any major updates or any thing I should know before buying it as soon as it's in stores again. What kind of accessories should I get when I buy it? Which 1 game should I also get when I get the Wii?
The reason why I'm buying it is because I want to be able to play with friends and family and the swinging the controls around seems pretty fun to me. That's also one big obvious reason why I'm buying it.
Wow thanks for the quick reply! I hear lot's of talk about Mario Galaxy. If I'm not a BIG fan of Mario will I still enjoy the game? Also what about accessories? Maybe I should get a battery charger for the controller?
no battery charger just rechargable batteries. maybe get another set of wiimotes and nunchucks. and galaxy is just a great game. anyone will love it and if you dont theres something wrong with you.

Yeah, I would get rechargeable batteries. I have two different things, one made by Nintendo, another by a third party, to charge them and they suck.
As for Galaxy, I was never a big fan of Mario, and I got it for Christmas. I've had a REALLY hard time getting into it, and only play it once and a while. I only have like fifty stars. If you aren't sure, I'd rent first, test it out, then go from there.
I just got mine for Christmas! I also got some rechargable batteries, and I'd suggest getting WiiPlay, which comes with a remote for only an extra$10 or so. I got an extra nunchuck to go with the remote as well. That way you're all set to go for at least 2 players.
If you want games to play with friends, there is something like Carnival Games (which I have and enjoy playing with 2+ people), the WiiPlay has 9 games that are similar to WiiSports, and SSBB is coming out soon which is gonna rock. But I also recommend SMG (I'm not a huge Mario fan either but I LOVE this game!), Zelda, and Zack and Wiki. That's what I've been playing nonstop!
I would say if you do not like Mario maybe rent it before you buy it but it is a very good game and i also recommend getting the stuff you need for Internet hookups get some wii points and you can get some good old school games. If you are looking for good multi-player games i would say Mario Party 8 or Mario vs. Sonic Olympic Games witch neither are really Mario based games so you should enjoy them. Make sure you get three extra Wiimotes and Nun-chucks so you can have 3 friends playing with you.
Thanks guys. I'm going to call my local shop to see when they have the Wii in stock. What I'm buying so far are those ASiD TECH HD PRO Wii Component Cable for my 32" widescreen HDTV so I can get the most out of the Wii. I guess I'll also buy the WiiParty since it comes with an extra controller and I'll also by an extra nunchunk. I'll also get one of those Duracell chargers at my local shop that seem to be a really good charger for its price.
Never was a big fan of online stuff and I won't be buying point cards any time soon, but since the online feature is FREE on the Wii I guess I'll play online with others (I have a silver account on my 360 cause I'm not a big fan of online play plus paying a fee).
Thank you all for the replies any further info is greatly appreciated!
enjoy when you get your wii man. im pretty sure you and your family will have a great time with wii play and wii sport(comes with the console). if you enjoy first person shooter that has a 32 players online; i would highly recommend medal of honor heroes 2. it's awesome.
Don't worry about updates if you can hook your Wii up to the internet as Nintendo will tell you when a new one is available, if you don't have wireless, get a LAN Adapter for online stuff. I'd recommend getting Super Mario Galaxy, anyone can enjoy it, that's how good it is, but if you don't think you'll be into that, get Resident Evil 4, that's pretty good, too.
