So I live in the north side of Chicago, Illinois, and for those who are in chicago you know it has been snowing since 5PM central time zone. So I will be coming into money for christmas, and I am deciding on what I should get.   
 
One of my options are a Nintendo Wii. I want the Wii because I love Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, just the old school classics. So i figure while it is a winter wonderland outside I could just stay home with family and play the Nintendo Wii.  
Also I bought stuff on the Nintendo Wii using Club Nintendo, so am I able to redownload those games/apps through the Nintendo Wii AGAIN, or would I have to buy them all over again?  
  
So thats my main concern... Should i get the Nintendo Wii for old great throwback games and newer games (Zelda, Mario, etc.) for entertainment while I'm off school in work, or should I just save up my money?
