Out of all the Nintendo franchises out there, The Legend of Zelda series was the only one I was really fascinated with. It just has that unique flavor that Metroid or Mario just couldn't give me (Though both franchises are still GOOD). I remember beating the Minish Cap for the first time, and just WOW.. JUST WOW. It was AWESOME.

After playing that game, I desperately searched for all available Zelda games available out there.  So far the only Zelda games I have not owned yet are the ones available back in the Game Boy Color Era, also excluding the "other" Zelda games. So now I'm currently playing the Wind Waker (Yeah I know, late) and it still gets me hooked.

So with the arrival of Skyward Sword fast approaching, and me not having a Wii yet. Maybe its time to get a Wii. I mean I bought a used GameCube with The Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks. Could Happen. ;)

I always found the idea of one console for one game a little odd, but why not, it's pretty cheap now.
You can download the older Zeldas and play the GC Zeldas on it too.

@Kjellm87: Yeah thats what I also thought, I couldnt find a Cube that supports the component cable, let alone find the component cable itself! And your right the Wii is getting cheap (a sign of?!). Sadly though, I'll have to get a 3DS to enjoy the GBC Zelda games. :(

@YoungFrey - Ah I remembered Mortal Kombat, played it on the PC (DOS) when I was kid. FATALITY! :D 

:o You really should get Oracle of Ages/Seasons. If you liked Minish Cap, you'd probably like the Oracle games.
 
Anyway, maybe wait for SS to come out before you decide to buy a Wii just for that game.

@BeachThunder - Yeah I should, IF I can find a copy of those games here plus Links Awakening, DX or not. Buying online is not an option for me either. (No. COUGH! Credit. COUGH!. Card. COUGH!) :p and yeah I really liked Minish Cap. :)

I bought a wii when Galaxy 2 came out and that's the only game I've played through on the wii.  I'm very disappointed.  

I have a 3DS pre-ordered just so I can play the Ocarina of Time remake when it comes out, so I can't blame anyone for getting a Wii just for Skyward Sword (though, my fury still froths over right-handed Link).

I really feel Nintendo will release a "DS Lite" version of the 3DS, so I'm just gonna wait for that. According to Jeff's article on the 3DS, battery life is an issue...

If you get a Wii now, you can get alot of quality games really cheap, the list is very big

Well the Wii is pretty cheap, so buying it for one game isn't as insane as other consoles, but at the same time... I'm literally hesitating to even dust off and plug in my wii for the new zelda game. 

Still keeping my Wii just for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword....Happening. 

Maybe you don't have to get a Wii. Have you tried Darksiders? That game gave me everything I wanted out of a Zelda game and effectively got rid of any need I had to keep up with the Zelda franchise.

Well I bought the Wii for 500$ at launch just too play TP three weeks earlier than the GCN TP. So you would'nt be that crazy.
 
Looking back I was INSANE, but I would of done it again in a heartbeat....Sad, I know.

@sfighter21: And a great phase I am experiencing. :)

@OneAndOnlyBigE: Why sell it? :(

" I can't really muster any interest for SS ... and that just makes me feel sad. "

I got a Wii just to play Twilight Princess on Day One. 
 
...I'm only mildly disappointed.

@Wrighteous86: midly disappointed? how so?  
  
and aside from the motion gameplay we saw in the trailers. What else do you expect Skyward Sword to deliver? :)

Was thinking of getting myself a Wii just for the new Zelda game but tbh the more I see of it the less impressed I get by the minute. Feels like Nintendo aint giving it their 110% and I never really was into the whole motion controller.

I'm tempted to buy a Wii at this point. Given that its life-cycle is well more than half done, it is cheap as chips and has a pretty decent library now. 
 
Nothing about Skyward Sword has done anything for me yet, but considering I'm a Zelda maniac, I'll probably buy it and love it all the same. 
 
Want Metroid Prime Trilogy so much more, though.

" I always found the idea of one console for one game a little odd, but why not, it's pretty cheap now. You can download the older Zeldas and play the GC Zeldas on it too. "

I bought a copy of Red Steel 2 with the motionplus and put the game straight on Ebay sealed.  I did this for Skyward Sword.  It's worth getting a Wii.

Skyward Sword will play on the new console, wait and see at E3. It may be better to play on the new console, it could upscale current first party Wii games...

If Skyward Sword will be a Project Cafe Launch Title, then we're looking at a trend that every last Zelda game on a home console will be have a different but similar version on to the next console, a la Twilight Princess,

This game, if any, could make me buy a Wii but I'll wait until "Wii 2" is shown at E3. If it's backward compatible, I'll wait with Zelda: SS.

June is fast approaching and I'm still short on buying a Wii. Hopefully by July. Hopefully, it would be such a great present for myself :D anyway, until then I just played some Zelda games. Already beat the Wind Waker, 2nd was Link to the Past. Currently, Im juggling playing, Link's Awakening (bought it used!) on my GBA, Phantom Hourglass on my DS and Twilight Princess for the good ol Cube. I'm still inclined to toon Link than older Link in TP though.  

Project Cafe will be BC.

I got the "slim" 360 for Limbo so why the hell not?
However I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a Twilight Princess on us and had Skyward Sword
available both for Wii and the elusive Project Café.

I brought a Wii only for Super Mario Galaxy, so I'd say go for it!

Also, get Super Mario Galaxy. And Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Skyward Sword to be released this holiday, and I still DONT have a Wii.... :( now with the Wii U coming out next year, Im starting to doubt if purchasing the Wii will be worthwhile. Though in a Gamecube standpoint.. 480P easy access :D

Pretty much the only reason why I am keeping my Wii.

My body is ready (for this game)
