....I got a Wii. I haven't opened it yet, and haven't bought any games for it. Metroid Prime 3, Smash Bros Melee Brawl (depends), and Mario Kart look interesting, and for some reason I still want to play Soul Calibur Legends, but not at that price.

It was actually easy to get a hold of. I just called a couple of stores and found out Gamestop (both stores in my city) had some in stock.

Impressions:

System - With the size of the PS3 and the need for alot of open space for the 360, it's nice to be able to put the Wii in one of my entertainment center compartments. It's a pretty nice design, overall. The only problem I have is that I can't turn the thing off. It's either On, or on Standby, and I have to unplug the thing so I can cover the Wii against dust.

Controller - It's ok. It's not mind blowing or anything. Definitely better than the motion control in the Sixaxis.

Games - So far, it's a hit and miss. Mario Galaxy is pretty fun (simple, but fun), Wii Bowling is great, and even Soul Calibur Legends is ok, but Metroid Prime 3 was a huge disappointment. I couldn't stand controlling the game with the Wiimote. I got a headache trying to move Samus around and aim. No more Metroid's in first person only. I am looking forward to Super Smash Bros Brawl and Rygar.

Acccessories - So far, I haven't bought any other accessories, not even another Wiimote. I'll probably end up getting Wii-Play when I do need another one. I may pass on everything else, at least for now. I'm not too interested in getting online right now, especially since I'd have to get a LAN adapter or one of those Wi-Fi things that can plug into a PC.

Yeah. A lot of people want to tell you how the Wii-mote is 'so intuitive', and how 'it's the greatest thing for FPS's'... but I sure wasn't feeling it. I didn't think it was intuitive at all. I didn't like it. Give me the dual sticks. I'll stick with those, thank you very much.

I think it's the worst way to play FPS, based on Metroid Prime. I can definitely enjoy different type of games on the Wii, but shooters, especially FPS, aren't one of them. I'm going to stick with the Sixaxis and 360 controller for shooters.

Other than that, I'm enjoying the system. I just need to put some more time into it. I also may pick up Mario Kart, depending on when it is coming out.

The best shooter is the rail-shooter Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, with the two-handed gun peripheral (that comes with Links Crossbow Training.)

Another game you guys should be looking forward to on Wii is No More Heroes, which looks cool as hell and is getting solid reviews.

I thought about No More Heroes, but passed. I don't think I would enjoy it at $50. At $30 or less, maybe.

I went the safe route and picked up Twilight Princess, and also pre-ordered SSM Brawl.

Can you simply tell if Runescape (http://www.usfine.com/Runescape-Powerleveling-c-90.html) is a great game maplestory powerleveling (http://www.usfine.com/Maple-Story-PowerLeveling-c-98.html) or not without you becoming a member? The answer to that would be, NO! Well you can make a few predictions about Runescape (http://www.usfine.com/Runescape-Powerleveling-c-90.html) and see the moral of the game when being a regular user and not a member but becoming a member brings a whole lot of additions to Runescape that you would never see if you were not a member. Being a member of Runescape (http://www.usfine.com/Runescape-Powerleveling-c-90.html) has so many benefits and I will try to list them all here for you. Runescape tells you them, but I'm going to detail it a few features for you here. runescape money (http://www.money-runescape.net/)
