The wife just called me to day and told me she bought me a Wii , the black edition. I work out of town so I wont get to play it untill next weekend. I just ordered House of the dead 1&2 and I also ordered 2 nyko power shot blasters because they look more like a arcade gun, this is the only reason i was wanting a wii, hopefuly the new house of the dead that just come out will be fun also, anyone use this gun and game combo, is it as fun as the arcade version?
 
I have two power shots and both HotD games on Wii. They are the best gun accessories I've found, though you may want to try and add some weight to the grip of the gun as it gets kind of top heavy after playing for a while. I don't know that I'd say they are as good as the arcade simply because the aiming isn't as precise and you have a cross hair. But they are still fun. HotD Overkill is campy as hell, and has lot of extras to try and go after.

I'd also recommend both of the Resident Evil shooter games: The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chonicles. Both are great on rails shooters as well. You don't have to be a fan of the RE games to enjoy them.
 
Get S.S.B.B. and Wii sports resort. Anyways Congrats on the .. er, Wii. :)

Wii Sports Resort comes with the Black Wii, along with the regular Wii Sports :)

That would be cool if it comes together well. If so, be sure to post pics and a tutorial, if possible :)

20 years ago? What? :p
 
20 years ago? What? :p

it was 25 years ago for me... that's when the flux capacitor was invented....

Wii's are sick... not a huge selection of good games (like any Nintendo system since the cube) but the first party titles are always solid.

find a game crazy that's going under... ours has everything 20% off right now... including new stuff like controllers and games... we didn't have the black wii, but the white ones were 20% also... so, $160

Really? So it must come with the Motion Plus dongly thing too?

Black Wii in Australia only comes with Wii Sports, not Wii Sports Resort. Just like the white Wii.

You should get House of the Dead Overkill, it's a blast. Just don't let the kids play it, it has more f-bombs than any other game I've ever played :D

My girlfriend is moving in this weekend and she allready has a Wii. Cant wait to play it. Of course she doesnt know it yet but that thing is about to get softmodded so I can play games off an external HD. :)
 
then check out the NSMB : The Next Levels, pretty impressive for a hacked version of NSMB, crazy levels, worth finding :p

Careful. Nintendo are starting to crack down on softmodded consoles, and it may get bricked by future Ninty updates, or at the very least won't have access to online services. It seems Ninty don't even want you running homebrew software on the consoles.

My advice is buy a 2nd console to softmod, if you must do this. Don't do this to your girlfriend's console.

Enjoy the Wii my friend! As hope that it is what you all have hoped for. My brother's family loves it! They play with it as often as they can.

I figure if things do go wrong for some reason then I will just take the softmod off and go back to it just being a regular Wii. The way I understand it the softmod can be taken off easily with no harm to the wii.

Be sure to do a NAND dump before doing any modding. That way you'll have a full backup from prior to any of the modding. I need to do that myself before finally updating to 4.1 (I don't plan to go to 4.2) in case something with the update goes badly or if it at all hinders my homebrew (which it shouldn't).
