Ok, my wife just brought home one of these babies, and I'm really digging the golf and baseball. Anyone know what the best full featured golf and baseball games are? I want to be able to swing this little white controller like Barry Bonds on a clear high.

Oh snap! Super Mario RPG for SNES is being released on VC this month in Japan! Here's hoping it makes it across the pond here shortly thereafter!

The Lego games are solid. (I picked up Lego Indiana Jones & Star Wars)

Lego Starwars is the perfect "My Girlfriend is uber competitive, but bad at video games" game. You get to play together and it's just a blast to play.

Shooter as in, you use the zapper, or shooter as in you use the remote and nunchuk?

For the zapper, there really isn't much that's fun, aside from Link's Crossbow Training. House of the Dead is fun, until you lose and have to start from the beginning again once too many times, lose patience and toss the game. I've never played Ghost Squad though. I'm hoping a new Tom Clancy game will come out featuring the zapper... and I'm really, really hoping for one featuring the zapper and balance board.

I purchased Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles for $10 at EB. I haven't tried it yet, but at $10, I figure you can't fail. Apparently it's a good on-the-rails shooter that functions well with the Zapper.

For an amazing shooter adventure game RE4 is a must have, I have just finished it once and have begun playing the unlockable features...I think you can pick it up for less than $20...very solid

Next on the list is Metroid Prime and, of course Rock Band.
