pretty interesting and yet another reason why the Wii is better than PS3

1) the wii is sweet. I got the wii zapper and link's crossbow training for x-mas 2) I went to PT school with one of the physical therapists in the segment.

Go Bucks!!!

mario soccer is the absolute best game ever created. hands down. my friends and i play it so much you'd think there was a section on the MCAT. if you dont have it, i suggest you get it.

May have to check it out. Already got my pre-order for Smash Bros. Brawl. Can't wait to take that craziness online!

I played Brain Academy every day over Christmas break . . . it was good times. 👍

Its only a matter of time until Medicare Part D or maybe B covers the Wii...

I sold my nintendo wii for an xbox 360 last Christmas. I always wanted another one. Imagine my surprise when my fiance gave me a Nintendo Wii this Christmas 🙂 Super Mario Galaxy for the win!

 

[Kateb4]

Yes, got the Wii ***for my son*** for Christmas! I think that I'm going to take a little therapy session for an hour or so. Love Mario Galaxy!! And we just got Mario Party 8 which seems fun also. I should have my balance and coordination fine tuned in time for classes this fall!

I was stuck between the Wii and a guitar. While I love the Wii, I went with the guitar. I think it was a wise choice for me. The ultimate in interaction. 😉 It is like guitar hero with every song possible!

I'm so surprised nobody has mentioned the game Trauma Center: Second Opinion on this forum as a great reason for buying the Wii. I love it so much that...well just look at my avatar! It's like playing that Milton Bradley game operation but with fancy 3d graphics and a killer soundtrack and the storyline is kinda cool too. But wow...just using that wiimote to do surgical procedures with the nunchuk to select tools...its just a testament to the ingenuity in store for the wii. Go rent it!

Oh and a sequel came out a few months ago. Trauma Center: New Blood. Haven't played it but seems pretty cool too. And if anyone out there has a Nintendo DS, yes Trauma Center Under the Knife also gives you a chance to live out your surgeon dreams with the DS stylus. I wish they would make more games like this that was medically related.

I did play a little Trauma Center before. It was pretty cool, but I couldn't get past the bomb. Oh well.

Who else is excited about Smash Bros.? I'm hoping that they stop delaying it and it'll actually come out in March.

Perhaps we'll need a Wii number exchange so we can all play together online.

I love the Wii, so tempted to bring it with me next year to school but then again I don't want to fail

Now if my future residency is missing this in their curriculum, I'm not applying. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/GadgetGuide/story?id=4170786&page=1

Yes, I eagerly anticipate Smash Bros. Brawl but waiting till March 9th sure is tormenting. Aside from the game, I'm looking forward to the soundtrack...some good music on there.
