Mmm...
Zelda. Monkey Ball. Raving Rabids. Excite Truck. Wii Play. + I've been getting games from GameFly. Oh... I also have Gunstar Heroes and R-Type. Plus just for the Wii I bought GC F-Zero.

So far Raving Rabids is what I play most by myself. I haven't had time to sit down and enjoy Zelda *sad*. When friends are over we play Sports, Play, and Rayman. Yup.

Wii - bought:
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Rayman Raving Rabbids
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Wii Play

Wii - rented:
Madden 07 - nice, but not my thing
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz - lame city

VC:
Gradius - harder than I remember
Super Mario World - fun, but a bit overwhelming
Kirby's Adventure - incredible! can't wait for more

I honestly play Kirby's Adventure the most right now, followed by Wii Play and Rayman.

Most looking forward to:
Mario Party 8 & Super Paper Mario!

I don't have a Wii yet but I do have two games for it. Zelda and WarioWare

I don't have time to be playing games all day so I only buy the best games. I don't even mess with them if they get bad reviews. So far all I have is Zelda and Monkey Ball. I rented Elebits and Sonic this weekend. Elebits is great fun but not worth buying as it's very repetitive. I'll probably be bored with it by the time it's time to return it. Sonic so far is just plain bad. The controls are week and the gameplay on rails is rather boring. I had to force myself to even play that one after the first 10 minutes.

I am however looking to buy SSX Blur this week as the early reviews are looking very good and the game looks to be fun.

Wow, I feel frugal compared to everyone else. The only Wii game I've bought is Twilight Princess. And I doubt I'll buy anything else until Galaxy/Brawl is released.

Unless you count VC games in which case I've got:
Toe Jam & Earl
Sonic the Hedgehog
Link to the Past
Kirby's Adventure
Super Mario World*
Donkey Kong Country*
Ocarina of Time*

*ok, so technically I haven't gotten the last three yet, but I plan to once I have the time to actually play them.

No regrets, although Kirby is the only game I haven't played before. So far it's.... different. If nothing else, I have a better frame of reference when playing Smash Bros.

So yeah, I bought the bundle, but most of my games were gifts/bought with giftcards from Christmas. Although I have plenty in the bank for other games I want to get. Plus I'll probly just get cold hard cash for my birthday tomorrow, so I might go and buy Mario Party 8 and Sonic on the fifth.

So far I've only got Zelda, Excite Truck, and Elebits. Loving all three of them. I also bought Super Monkey Ball, but returned it within a week after seeing how awful the controls were - I felt like I was going to sprain my wrist by how it was making me twist it.

I've purchased Zelda, Wario Ware, and Metal Slug Anthology. I've actually finished Wario Ware, which was a bit surprising since I've enjoyed the DS version for a much longer play period. I've barely ever touched Zelda and I've been screaming for co-op play for Metal Slug. I'm holding out any new purchases until I see a Smash Bros or Metroid title.

I got:

Zelda (lovely but need SO much time to play it)
Warioware Smooth Moves (Just got it but looks like fun)
Wii Play (Addictive to play with friends)
Wii Sports (It's all about 4 player tennis!)

I had Tony Hawks but took it back and exchanged it because it got old really quickly.

Red Steel

Been playing a ton of Trauma Center lately. Red Steel is paradoxically a great game and a terrible game at the same time. As much as I liked Zelda, I was slightly disappointed that 1. it's basically another Ocarina. 2. it doesn't feel as epic as Wind Waker. and 3. The graphical style isn't very original, it looks just like a million other games.

VC:
Mario 64
Soloman's Key (I think I misspelled that)
Bonk
Gunstar Heroes

Gunstar Heroes is as good as everyone has said. Mario 64 is better than the N64 because of the GC controller, and it actually *looks* better. I don't plan on getting any more VC titles unless Nintendo finally decides to knock it off with the whole "1000 pt increments only" bs. If I were to get more, I'd get Zelda 1, Kid Icarus (that is, if it weren't for the broken cheat codes), and a bunch of TG16 games.

Reply

Zelda: Played once, what a boring, dull intro. I've heard it gets better but it left such a terrible taste in my mouth I might just sell it.

WiiPlay: Because I needed a second controller and none were to be found unbundled

Madden 07: Played once, not sure I'm willing to devote the time to it

Super Swing Golf: Still in shrinkwrap.

On the VC: Military Madness

I don't see myself buying much software for this puppy (I'm too much of a graphics whore), but Wii Sports is worth the entrance price. I play that all the time, often with friends who aren't gamers.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Amazing game. By far favorite Zelda for its plot.

Red Steel - While not the strongest shooter I've ever played it wasn't as bad as everyone calls it to be. I personally love multiplayer

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves - Absolute and pure fun. I managed to scrounge up a 16 player match. That was a blast.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion - Intuitive and innovative game. It was my first Trauma Center and definitely got me to love the game by the first operation.

Gunstar Heroes - Classic fast paced scroller action. Whats not to love?

I also have all the channels and actually use them every morning. :)

All I've got is Wii Sports and Super Mario World. We rented Rayman, but ended up deciding that it wasn't our type of game (though it was a fun weekend). I've been so busy recently that I prohibited myself from buying Zelda; that's going to end with my birthday in two weeks (or so my wife promises).

Midway Arcade Treasures 1

The WW and GC game purchases were made this weekend, along with a Wavebird wireless controller. I got WW after it was a hit at my first Wii party on Friday -- not as big a hit as Wii Sports and the Mii Channel, but people seemed to enjoy playing it as much as watching it, and that's enough for me.

I also rented Super Monkey Ball, but the music and the game controls were too annoying for me to consider buying it. I'll probably focus on the EA Sports games (Madden, Tiger Woods, SSX Blur) next month, when I get my next check from AOL Sports. =^)

I've rented Red Steel & Elebits, the latter of which I intend to pick up when I can find it cheap considering I beat most of it already, but I still think it was an excellent game.

Most looking forward to...

I HAVE AN N64!

I'm but a poor poor person, so with my wii I've been playing those good old GC titles for the most part. My first Wii game outside of Sports, was Sonic and the Secret Rings.
The first 2 hours were giving me a, I hope I didn't get the wrong game sorta feel. But by the time I got to hour 3 I was LOVING this game and 8 hours later I can't believe how awesome it is.

Other games that I plan to one day get include Truama Center, and of course Zelda TP, but the Zelda game has to wait till I at the very least beat OoT. The Shadow Dungeon or whatever isn't too far from the end I hope.

I have bought

Zelda
Rayman
Wii Play (Only cause I wanted the Wii remote and thought I'd give it a blast. Wii Play sucked)

VC:
Mario 64 - Pretty good
Bomberman - suck
RType - Not bad but no last ability due to difficulty.
Zelda (The first one) - yuk!


There's nothing worth buying at the moment IMO. Lots of shitty ports, party games and kid games.

I'll fork out for Godfather or Scarface if they are good ports. While I LOVE Mario and Zelda, I want death, explosions and violence in my games too.

If titles like GTA, RE and the like start coming, I'll definitely expand my library a HUGE amount.

I'm one of these gamers who LOVE a number of Nintendo's core franchises, enough to buy the console for them, but am generally disappointed with most of the titles for their systems. Wario Ware? Gimme a break - I found that too simple and couldn't hold my attention for more than 1 set of games.

Only game I have bought so far is Wii Play and that was mainly for the controller, and a couple of VC games. Im enjoying the Wii, but few games I actually want to play. Might pick up Excite Truck.
