Get the WiiPlay bundle (game disk, the tanks game is super addictive, and a second controller) and a second nunchuck.
MarioKart is always fun. Kharn |

We also having been thinking of buying a Wii. She wants the Wii FIT and she saw the commercial for the RESORTS.
Any special accessories we should get? Explain the points deal just for being able to be online. What can you not do online? Is it very limited? What about playing movie from a server like XBOX 360? |

get the new Wii Sports resort w/ the Wii Motion Plus.
Makes the controller response pretty much 1:1 instead of the generic "left swing/right swing" of the Wii-Mote without it. Sword fighting + archery is fun fun fun. Can't wait for Gladiator AD....chopping people up with an exact movement duplication? yes please. |

Sports, Mario Kart, Raving Rabbids 2 and Raving Rabbids TV Party are the main ones we play though we have a bit over 30 games.
ETA - In fairness if it's not 4 player or more it doesn't get played much. We have the Wii fit board but don't use it much. |

OK so it only comes with the standard RCA hookups or whatever. I assume there is a component or HDMI adapter? I'm just playing Wii Sports right now and I know the graphics on this game arent anything to brag about, but it seems the picture leaves something to be desired and I can't 5.1 surround with this input method.

Yes there are Component cords (it does 480p) but sound is limited to analog (Dolby PLII). Nobody has mentioned it, but WiiPlay is awesome and comes with a remote. Guitar Hero is hella fun Mario Kart is always a hit. |

I'll say this about that system. I thought that it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen, and expected it to crash and burn.
One of the guys brought it by the firehouse, and I completely changed my mind. I don't own one, but am not opposed either. We had a ball for days. |

Probably why the software attach rate is so low. Third party support for the Wii sucks. Just about nobody outside of Nintendo knows how to use the Wii's motion support, which is a shame, because fundamentally it's a really cool concept. |

Set your TV to 4:3 aspect ratio, not 16:9. With the component hook-up you can set the Wii to 480P and wide-screen, at which point you use the "wide" stretch option (stretching the screen evenly across its entire width, not the panoramic stretch at the edges) for Wii games, but I'm not sure how it works out for downloaded ones.
