I know its a little out of most of your generations, but just curious of who has a Nintendo Wii. If you do, whats your number and I'll add you. Mine is 1841238132.

So, we're all a bunch of old farts? Yeah, that should generate some worthwhile discussion.

PS: No Wii, but the Xbox still works fine, thanks.

Gamecube myself. Too cheap to upgrade until my toung-uns get older.
I'd love to try it though, out of curiosity.

I played with a friend's Wii (yes, I know that sounds really, really bad) and thought it was great. Not great enough to cough up $250 for one, but when they come down in price I'm getting one.

Do some Wii games use the controller traditional, or is everygame like using a flyswatter? How tough are these things for when people "accidently" let it fly accross the room? How much do the games cost?

It's quite a mix of control styles when playing various games. A lot of them will allow for different controller configurations. Some make sense enough that there's just one way. Driving games, like Excite Truck, are especially sweet since you hold the remote like a normal controller and tilt it left or right to steer.

Unless you or your friends are really inept, and/or don't follow instructions, none of he controllers will ever go flying. I've had a lot of people over to play Wii, and have not had any incidents.

When I was playing, it was in a roomful of very drunk people, and none of them dropped, threw, or otherwise accidentally let go of the controller.

And the game I was playing, I forgot the name but it was basically a "Wii for Dummies" game where the whole point was to use the controller in as many different ways as possible (including one mini-game where you're supposed to drop it on the floor ON PURPOSE).

Mario Party, right?

My wife loves that game on the gamecube.

No, but the same idea (run around a board playing a bunch of minigames). Sort of a Mario Party without Mario.

Speaking of which Mario Party is the reason I got a Gamecube (my nephews turned me onto it when I visited them a couple of years ago).
