I tried to add your Number to the list but it says that it is incorrect. Can you double check the number. Thanks

I can't find a Wii anywhere yet. I've watched and here in the Twin Cities of MN, not happening.

I have my PS3, so don't think the Wii is in the cards (wife would kiiiiiiilllllllllllll me), but I do like Nintendo party games.

It's funny, my husband and I found a Wii on January 2, pretty much about a week after we decided to get one. We thought it was the coolest thing ever. Then, we bought a couple of XBox 360s, and now we rarely play the Wii.

I finished Zelda, which was obviously awesome, and we enjoy Marvel Alliance and Wii Sports. But, pretty much all the other Wii games we've played have been less than stellar. Virtual Console freaking rocks. I'm just hoping for some good Nintendo developed games that will live up to my expectations for the Wii.

I just got a Wii last weekend (anniversary present =) ). I don't have it hooked up to ye olde intarwebs yet, though. I'll post my code when I get it though; it'd be fun to have a Subsonic Mii parade going on.

I don't think the Wii is a good stand alone system. I like it, I wouldn't mind having it, but I'd want something to supplement. They make good party games (as I mentioned liking), I'm a fan of Mario Party, Mario Kart, etc. As far as single player adventure or other games they are lacking. Though, I'm a Rockstar North fan, so I don't expect to see them on the Wii.

Yeah, I can agree with that, JWG. I guess that's why we bought 360s.

It's funny you say that. My wife helped me find a wii, after we got a ps3. The wii is more for her anyway i think. she'll watch me on the ps3 and tell me what i should do, but i can't get her to join in on anything.

Mario Party 8 is great, my wife isn't a gamer and we played for 2 hours yesterday. It's even more fun with more people.

Have you played any of the previous Mario Party Games? I have not and was debating getting this but all the reviews i read were very negative. Graphically, how does it compare to some of the other games on the Wii? Not that the wii is supposed to be a graphic powerhouse, but just curious. I've been trying to find a game to play. I was given Wario Ware smooth moves for my birthday last month, and to be honest, i haven't even touched it yet. My PS3 has been taking up all my gaming time.

I just got Mario Party 8 also, and I love it! I've had 1-4 for the N64 in the past and always enjoyed them. 8 has a lot of elements that, I think, make it better than the others in the series. I introduced it to my mom this weekend and after playing it once she wants to play it again and again, and wants to get a wii just to play it. She's not a gamer by any means, either.

MP1 = Worst game ever.

Concept was great, having to spin the stick as fast as you can - not a great idea. Glad they got rid of that requirement in 2 on.
