I bought a Wii on the hope of many new and interesting ideas taking the Wii control scheme into consideration. At the time, there was pretty much one game, besides Wii Sports that I wanted to play: Twilight Princess. That game was utterly disappointing to me, and to this day, I haven't had the drive to pick it up again, let alone finish it. So at the time, I was regretting it.
Then, there was Mario Galaxy. That game is/was made of pure win. Obviously a pleasure to play. Sure, there are a number of other games to want to buy on the Wii, but none should be higher on your priority than Mario Galaxy.
I still don't own many Wii games, and it's true that I hardly play the console, but the real draw is when family is over, at which point, you throw in some Wii Sports/Resort, and it's a wickedly fun distraction.
Now, there's another Mario game out, and Mario Galaxy 2 on the horizon. It might sound kind of stupid to be pointing out those games, but those are really my reason for owning the console, anyway, and they're such good games that it was probably worth it. Beyond that, it has Gamecube backwards compatibility, so all the Gamecube games I have that would probably just lie dormant, never to be played, once in awhile get a session or two out of them. And honestly, there were a *lot* of good Gamecube games. At least, more than people seem to give that system credit for.
And if my opinion ever changes, it's a simple matter of selling the thing. I've still got my old Gamecube on standby.
