So I'm probably buying a Wii in the morning

[anti-everything]

any suggestions for games besides Zelda?

1. I've never been interested in video games

(except Snake. Snake is addictive), but more and more I think I want a Wii. No specific suggestions, but I think the bowling one is cool. Actually, any of the sports ones.

2. Trauma Center

See how you would have been as a surgeon. Well... a surgeon that operates on cartoon people that heal or die pretty quickly.

I have played this game on the DS and it is very addictive. From what I have seen, the controls are easier on the WII. You can even use the controllers as paddles to jumpstart a heart!

3. Sounds hard.

I'm a hardcore caffeine addict...Is a surgery game right for me? Sounds like a good drinking game too. I'll check it out...Thank you.

4. Not too bad

I tried it out and was up and running in just a few minutes. The first few situations are almost step-by-step walktrus so that makes it easy.

Not really a gamer, but I love my DS!

5. But I get the shakes.

Welcome to DU, by the by.

9. Thanks for the Welcome

Then you will have a lot of dead, bloody, mutilated cartoon characters around your place. :)

8. OMG!

6. Do you like to fish?

We bought Rapala Fishing Tournament a couple of weeks ago, and that's ALL we've done ever since--you will LOVE the fishing with it. It's great!

The game disk that comes with the wii is great, but my advice is that you buy an extra wiimote and nunchuck for every member of your family who'll play.

You'll also want to get the classic controller and a points card, so that you can download some vintage games like Ecco the Dolphin and Donkey Kong.

PM me if you think of any other questions.

7. I love to fish.

Thanks for the great advice. I'll definitely need a second remote for my girlfriend (we like games we can play together). I'll consider buying that after buying Zelda. I'm looking forward to the new Mario Party that's coming out.
