Sin and Punishment is so awesome! Now the Star Soldier parody shooter is out too!

Happy Birthday Racket!!!

Sin & Punishment is a steal at it's price. Sure beats importing it for the N64!

I wish Nintendo would release more Japanese gems that never made it to the states. I'm more than happy to pay them, rather than collectors, to be able to play some of the more rare and coveted titles.

Also, the Wii has a surprising robust shoot 'em up collection that you shouldn't overlook. Castle of Shikigami III, Milestone Shooting Collection, the Gradius downloads, new Wiiware shooters - it's quite lovely to have so many shoot 'em ups on the "casual" console of the past few years.

More thanks!

I figured out the Internet thing -- I needed to change the channel my router was broadcasting on. i finally figured out how to use the Nintendo website effectively.

Downloading system updates and then I get to play around with new stuff

Woo happy bday.... now get smash bros brawl so we can play

.

Also I recommend Return to the house of the dead 2&3 and a wii perfect shot. Really good fun for some old arcade style madness. Oh and you don't have to worry about the gun screwing up on a flat screen like light guns do.

Happy Birthday Racket.

I don't have any helpful/insightful/awesome advice regarding your Wii, but I hope you have fun with it. Oh and do get Harvest Moon, that game made me cry when I was 10 cause the old man told me my farm was rubbish after 2 weeks of playing it solidly. The arse, what the hell does he know about farming.

Not really liking Lost Winds -- to slow and I've already had to look up stuff in GameFAQs.

Had some fun with Wii Sports -- my parents came over and they got a kick out of it.

Sin and Punishment is cool, but still getting the hang of it.

I'm really thinking of getting House of the Dead and the gun. At least the gun is reasonably priced.
Does it need to hook up to the wiimote or anything?

It's more or less a plastic housing that the remote fits into

I bought two perfect shots mostly for House of the Dead, but they are get more use in Ghost Squad.
