Yeah so Xerxes and I just received a Wii for Easter from our parents.

Now we've gotta get some games and accessories. Budget is 100$, more or less. What do we get?

I got Brawl. I got Galaxy. We've got a bunch of GCN games and we've got 4 GCN controllers.

To get:
One Nunchuk
Okami? Madworld? No more heroes? Zack & Wiki? Super Paper Mario? Mario Kart Wii? Super Mario Strikers Charged? Metroid Prime 3?

The House of the Dead: Overkill, or Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles?
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, or Rune Factory Frontier?

Possibly check out WiiPlay, it's got a few minigames that are fun for a while, but more importantly it comes with an extra wiimote. No nunchuck though.

Other games I would recommend are Galaxy, Brawl (despite what a lot of people say the single player is pretty fun), Metroid Prime 3, and maybe Mario Strikers if you manage to get your hands on a lot of nunchucks.

We rarely play MKWii anymore though, because of the raging induced Item Rape lol

I don't think so. I know there's a couple people on GameFAQs who do XvX No Item races, but the rules are, you are stuck with the 1st item you get and can never touch the Item button throughout the race.
Kinda wish you could turn off items, but then the revolves around the luck of the course layout not screwing you over lol

I commandeered Brawl and Galaxy from a friend. He doesn't use his Wii, so yeah.

Next up: to buy another controller. Or WiiPlay.

From what I can see... Animal Crossing: City Folk is just AC:WW with 1 screen.

Right?

It's okay-- I bought it for the Wii because I heard it was good for the PS2. But the motion controls drive me crazy sometimes that if I ever had the choice, I'd buy the PS2 version over the wii. But if you don't have a PS2, it's still an okay game-- there was a point where I just stopped playing it but it was because I got overwhelmed by the scenery lol. It's beautiful but just too much to take at some times... it made me go "okay, i really need a break from Nippon cause I'm tired of exploring :( "

The thing that makes me play my Wii daily is Animal Crossing: City Folk. It's... definitely not as revolutionary as Wild World was-- GFaqers said it best when they called it "Wild World 1.5". People say Mad World is really good-- seems more like a renting game to me. If you go on the Wii Shopping Channel, great multi-player games for Wii Ware are Tetris Party and Bomberman Blast, with Bomberman Blast having up to 8 Player Multiplayer mode lol.

I'll post other games when they come to me... I'm waiting for a good RPG to hit Wii. I'm hoping Arc Rise Fantasia will do it *glares evily at ToS2: DotNW* <_<

NO MORE HEROES! That game freaking rapes on so many levels, although it's pretty violent and crude [Killer 7 anyone?]

Got WiiPlay today, but I won't be playing much until after my first set of exams. I hope to brawl with you all at the meetup.

Nunchuk is, if you need it.

Haven't played the first 4 (Getting Madworld soon) but I hear NMH and Madworld are amazing. Super Paper Mario is... Mixed opinions. I loved it, it's a platformer with RPG elements, unlike the other PM games which were RPGs. MKWii... It's Mario Kart... Tha'ts all there is too it.

Strikers Charged, I love, personally. It's fun. If you've played the first strikers, think that but with mroe junk.

MP3, it's... Metroid Prime, did you like the others? If so, get it.

I've heard amazing things about Rune Factory Frontier. I'm looking for it myself.

Other games to check: Battalion Wars 2, WarioWare.
