Heading out to buy a Wii this morning + 1 game... what should I get.

I was just going to do a bit of impulse buying, but I assumed it would be something like Zelda, Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy or perhaps RE4 since I never played it.

smash bros brawl or zelda

Mariokart or Galaxy

What's the control system for Mariokart, do I need an extra controller? It's not lame motion directed steering is it?

Loved all previous versions, some of my favourite games.

mariokart/zelda/metroid/no more heroes is good fun as well

you get options with mariokart on how to steer

luckily they dont force you to do the lame steering wheel thing;

works a gazillion times better with nunchuck for steering and wii remote for jumping/sliding:

It all depends on what kind of game you want. Zelda, Metroid and Mario Kart are all top games.

I'll sell you cooking mama for $50

mario galaxy or zelda... ssbb 3rd, re4 is also awesome. ds version of mario kart is better than wii version.

If you've never played re4, I would say definitely pick that up, you might be able to get re4 plus one other game cos re4 wasn't even a full price game when it first came out on Wii so it might be even cheaper now.

yup, re4 is also excellent:

and sif the ds version even comes close;

Mario Kart Wii is the best version of Mario Kart to date imo, just beating out Mario Kart DS.

And RE4 is a must-have. The Wii edition is the best version of the game to be released, and the controls with the Wii remote are awesome. As Khel said, it's pretty cheap. I got it when it first came out last year some time for about $70, so it'll likely be even cheaper now.

I'll tell you what not to buy - Zelda & NFS:* .. both are s*** games.

My must have is Guitar Hero.

You could get the Wii, then head to JB for their Wii Zapper + RE: Umbrella Chronicles + RE4 bundle for $149?

Otherwise Metroid, Mario Galaxy, Zelda or Smash Bros are worth the purchase.

zelda was wicked:

you suck ticman, and not just for playing wow;

I feel no love :(

zelda had the best sword play in a video game evar!

although as i get more into no more heroes, its getting better and better:

Single Player awesome-ness
Mario Galaxy
Zelda
Metriods

Single player/Co-op awesome-ness
Lego Star Wars
Lego Indiana Jones

Multiplayer awesome-ness
Mario Kart
Boom Blox
Smash Bros

I found Zelda to linear and repetative. I played it for quite a few hours but when I couldn't get past point X because I didn't jump up at point Y I got the s***s.

Lego Indiana is good fun

I've not played it but Zack & Wiki gets a good writeup. I've seen it for $60 at JB at the moment.

It's like a point 'n' click to solve puzzles affair that went extinct years ago.

Alien Syndrome, it's fun co-op. As is Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles. The Trauma Centre games can be fun, I'd suggest you rent them before you buy them in case you don't like them.
