TLicense Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 My girlfriend and I are thinking about getting a Nintendo wii as a joint birthday present for ourselves. Thing is apart from liking the look of it from the adverts and hype, I don't really know much of anything about them. What would we need? A console, 2 controllers and 2 nunchuck things? Where's the best place to get it from? At first glance Argos seems to be about £100 cheaper than the likes of Amazon. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

matt k Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 You will only need 2 controllers if you want to play 2 player similateniously, if you want to play bowling or turn based games then 1 controller would be enough...i would buy 2 though. Also i bought mine from GAME and they were really friendly, they may even sort you out a discount if you buy a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I love my Wii, had to stop playing for a while following shoulder surgery Bought Excite Truck and Dragon Ball Z, awesome stuff, great fun, though need to finish Zelda once I'm better! There's also Super Paper Mario, Cooking Mama, Mario Galaxy and Smash Brothers Melee to look forward to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Does the Wii have any games that aren't standard cartoony Nintendo stuff? The missus wants me to buy one, but I'm much more drawn towards the 360 with games like Gears of War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus wants me to buy one, but I'm much more drawn towards the 360 with games like Gears of War Only "realistic" games ive got are Call of duty 3 and Splinter cell. Graphics are decent but not a patch on the 360 or PS3, but then again i didnt buy it for its graphics. If its awesome graphics you are after then buy a 360 or PS3 but i dont think you can beat the Wii for pure fun, especially in groups of people (ie parties).

Benzsupra Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 My girlfriend just bought me one and i must say it is the most awsome games machine i've ever played. Tryin to think of ways to sucessfully intergrate one into the soop! lol done the pc thing but that would be awsome! But do get one you won't regret it but make sure you get another controller because theres nothing like takin your anger out in the ring with ya missus!
