I appreciate the link, but your testimonial leaves a little something to be desired.

What part? I ordered it from Bestbuy.ca which consolewatch.com alerted me too.

It's just ground shipping though which explains the delay, the delivery estimate did say the 22nd though. I was just being hopeful.

Just completed Zelda over the weekend - took 52 hours! Nice length. There was probably a bunch of stuff I missed, too.

Still have Madden, DBZ and Super Swing Golf to play through.

Not to mention all the gamecube games I had waiting in the queue...

AND they released Donkey Kong Country on the virtual console this week... what an awesome game.

Word has it that Punch-Out will be released within a few weeks.

Konami has already licensed games for VC (ie. Super Castlevania IV), so I would think Blades of Steel is not far off.

Go to "address book" on the Wii Message Centre. It's on the first page (you might have to go back one). I think.

So what games does everyone have for their wii?

Currently i have:

Madden NFL 2007
Elebits
Warioware
Wii Sports (Like everyone)
Zelda
Monkey Ball
Raymonds Raving Rabbids

I've finished Monkey Ball, and Raymonds. I'm fairly good at Madden, and Elebits i've finished 19 of the levels. I think there is around 30.

I just bought Wario and Zelda today so as of yet I've only played a couple hours of Zelda and none of Wario.

As far as the games go:

Monkey Ball- Great multiplayer game, the single player gets DAMN difficult

Raymonds Rabbids- Single Player is pretty easy but fun, MultiPlayer leaves much to be desired. I mean most the games take place turn by turn instead of all players together, not to mention they are hard to pick out what game is which with the names they are given and no screenshots.

Madden- Tons of fun. Multiplayer mini games are great, especially if you know someone who is fairly proficent at a different version of madden so they know "timing" even if it is a different control. Only gripe is the poor graphics.

Elebits- My gf loves this game. I have a lot of fun with it too. Throw crap around with your "gravity gun." The car levels are the best, as throwing around chairs, vases and remote control cars can get old. Pretty diffucult already at level 19 and heard it can get wicked hard. Multiplayer is pretty good, but won't last long, as the game doesn't change only the level does.

Zelda- Seems good so far. I've never played a zelda game before but i'm having a blast. Maybe i'm just not ut out for RPG's as I'm already stuck. Here's to the walkthrough.

Wario- Will update once i make some progress.

I probably have the 6 most popular games on here so if you have any questions just ask. They are some of the highest rated too, according to www.ign.com.

Gotta love the wii.....

The Wii is like a fun machine... The perfect sidekick to the 360 IMO. I love how it stays online even when it's off.

All i've got is Wii Sports and Zelda. Good enough for me as i'll get some VC games and i've got a few DS games to get through.

Also, my shoulder is killing me from trying to hit homers in Wii Sports Baseball.

Also is there a way to play music on a SD card? and what video format is compatible?
