I was never a big Super Mario player, so I would probably be really bad at the Wii version.

Anyone have Wii Sports Resort? The sword-fighting game looks like fun.

Poor, poor, poor Wii. Nintendo seriously effed that one up. They took this amazingly fun, innovative controller and then dropped the ball on the games.

Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing games on the Wii. Metroid Corruption, Mario Galaxy, Zelda Twilight Princess, No More Heroes 2, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, and of course everyone's tried and true, Wii Sports.

But I played those. Two years ago.

I love RPGS. I caught up on some Gamecube RPGs via the Wii.

There's nothing in the pipeline for the Wii for RPGs, at all (and I think there were one or two that came out, and they were poorly reviewed so I didn't play em).

I may fire the Wii up again for Epic Mickey, Super Mario Galaxy 2, or the next Zelda game (rumored to come out October 2010, but rumors always get pushed back). But that's really it.

Meanwhile, there seems to be a new Ps3 game every month that I'm playing....

I played the NES version of Mario but am horrible at all the new incarnations.

We have enjoyed Wii Sports Resort. The boy uses swordplay for PE some days. I enjoyed Boom Blox but I like puzzles and knocking stuff over is always fun;)

The boy agrees with Cherny's list with one caveat about Mario Galaxy" It's a fun game but if you get vertigo or dizzy easy than it won't be the game for you."

I love Sports Resort! That one currently sees the most action.

Am I just getting old or does the new Wii-U thingy look really stupid?

You're not getting old: you got there a long time ago.

In the face of the Kinect, it seems really dumb to me.
