I'm kind of debating on whether or not I buy one after Christmas with all of the money that I recieve. In general I have been fairly Anti Wii as I don't believe it would be concievable as a console that I would play for very long. Right now my primary and only console is an Xbox 360 which I LOVE. Is it worth buying a Wii after christmas? What are some reasons? And what are your top 10 favorite games out for it? Thanks guys.

Edited with online games but I didn't add which have WiiConnect 24 support, downloadable content (only Worms has it confirmed), or leaderboards. :P Too much for me to research right now. :P If you have any more questions be sure to PM me. :D I've also edited the list with the exclusive Monster Hunter 3 and Fatal Frame 4.

It all depends on your gaming niche..If online is your concern, go for a gaming rig or a 360...

EDIT: :lol: Im so intertwined with gaming nomeclature I often use terms in the wron forum..RIG=PC..OS a gaming PC..If you have a decent current rig then a video card may be the only upgrade you need..8800gt may be something you will like..

I say you should. I don't know why people often think that the Wii is something to play like once a week or something. It has some very good games out and not to mention all the great games still to come.

The biggest part of the wii for me is the wifi playing and stuff.

Wii is truly not a system to buy purely for online games like the 360 but it offers something different/ fun to play. Stick to your 360 for a great online experience.

Wow...seeing fatal frame 4 just made my day...thank you...

and to the original poster....take it from a 360 player who will be sending in his 360 for the fifth time. Get a Wii if you want to be happy...You'll never have to send it in.

If online is your primary consideration, or the only thing you really play, the Wii's online is archaic compared to X-Live. There is 32-player online for MOHH2 but that's about it. I'm sure others will comment on other games that have online, but I repeat it isn't nearly as sophisticated as X-live (no achievements, etc).

The Wii is my primary console and it's ace. There are loads of good games out now and even more coming. In fact it's worth getting for Galaxy and Corruption alone IMO. FIFA 08 and Strikers are awesome fun online. I also can't wait for MOHH: 2 to come out in the UK.

If you think Mario, Metroid & Zelda are worth enough to buy a console for, then yes. Other than those games there's also Resident Evil 4, which is a fantastic game and that alone is worth buying a console for (if you haven't had the chance to play it yet). If none of those games do anything for you then I'd say it's not worth buy a Wii quite yet. I bought one myself this week and so far I have no regrets :).

I would definitely get a wii if I had a choice or the money. Everyone I know has one but me and I spend most of my time playing it at their houses. It's a lot of fun playing w/friends and all but I want one to play stuff like Super Mario Galaxy which takes quite a bit of time to complete I hear.

As a 360 and Wii owner, I can tell you I play both about equally. I grew up playing Nintendo, and I believe some of the best games ever made come out on Nintendo systems (like the recent release of Galaxy). The Wii offers a new and unique experience with tried and true franchises like Metroid, Zelda, Mario, and others.

I play the 360 with my roommates all of the time. We are usually on live playing Gears or Halo 3. Overall, it is the better system for online games, better graphics, and shooters.

If it's possible to have both systems, I woudl say go for it.
