OK, how many of you own a Nintendo Wii?

Which games do you own and what is your favorite?

I own

Wii Sports
Wii Play
Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
Big Brain Academy
Harry Potter Order of Phoenix
Guitar Hero III
Zelda, Twilight Princess
Madden 08


I really like them all, but my favorite has to be Zelda, no wait Guitar Hero, no wait Big Brain Academy.

Do I have to own a Wii to contribute? I don't - but my wife does. I own "Zelda" for it, though. I thought it was a great game, but i'd be happy if nintendo could come up with a new story for once.

We also have the Raymond and the raving rabbits game. it's a lot of fun.

My wife likes Rampage. She's never been a gamer, and has never played the original arcade game. She LOVES destroying some buildings.

I bought one for my daughter. She only has the sports games that come with
wii. What other games are good for a teenage girl?

After looking for over half a year for one, I ended up winning one at the No Fluff Just Stuff conference.

We have Sports,
Wii Play,
WarioWare,
Mario Party 8, &
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

I've rented Super Paper Mario and beaten it. Also have rented Cooking Mama and Big Brain Academy.

Favorite so far is Metroid. I expect to finish it tonight.

I got a Wii for my birthday a few months ago -- Wii sports is pretty good. I borrowed Zelda from my brother -- it started out just okay...

The first temple was actually boring, the second was just okay. I almost stopped.... then... the third temple was amazing !! 50 hours later...

I am having a final battle with --CENCORED-- and it is a sword fight! Not only that, I got to use Epona in the final battle too. That ending was really really good!

Hmm Teenage girls, that's a tough one. I think the new Disney Princess game is too young for them, but maybe some of the party games would be good. Like Mario Party 8, Carnival Games, Maybe EA Playground, or the new Smarty Pants.

That's funny, do you have to pay her a rental fee when you get to play it?
