If you like 3D Zelda games you'll like Okami. I enjoyed it more than Twilight Princess.

That's right, there's a Wii version. I forgot about that. Okami is awesome, better in some ways than Zelda. I will definitely buy that game again whenever I get around to getting a Wii

True. And the Wii controls really aren't nearly as difficult as everyone says. I actually prefer them over the Playstation 2 version's. Also, many reviewers commented very specifically on the ridiculous difficulty of drawing a straight line, but if one uses 'Z' to draw instead of 'A' you'll get a perfect line almost every time. Note that I don't blame the reviewers for this as ReadyAtDawn should have told players this outright instead of hiding it in the manual and menu.

If you're a Nintendo fan, Mario Galaxy and Kart are worth paying full price for. Even it they're the only games you get for the Wii for a year.

I really enjoyed the port of MK Armageddon on the Wii, and I'm sure it isn't full price any more. I also really liked Cruisin' which debuted at $30 only. Its a little cheesy, I admit, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. It plays like a straight up arcade racer. MOH Vanguard was also really good, along with Red Steel, both of which I'm sure aren't at full price any more.

What wrong with buying some 'full price' games used from a Game Stop or eBay? eBay is the best way to go, you can pick up games for real cheap on there.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one: Super Mario Strikers: Charged. This game is awesome. It could be considered the soccer equivalent of NBA Jam, with MarioKart-style power ups. I don't really get into soccer much, but I love this game. The controls are very well done, and it's playable with two people online (wife factor). My little brother and I were up 'til 2:30 this morning playing. The only complaint I have is that it seems like it's always "loading..."

Of course, the rest of my list is similar to everyone else's:
-MarioKart Wii (Though, if you really can't stand paying a high price, Double Dash is awesome and works on the Wii)
-Super Mario Galaxy
-Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
-Zack and Wiki

I'm looking at getting Okami because it seems really fun and Twilight Princess didn't rope me in at all. Geometry Wars is also on my list of games to pick up (and supposedly $10 at K-mart right now).
