I start work this week with school getting out.  I will work full time and I'm considering buying a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2.  The release of the black Wii with motion plus and Resort has got me.  The raving reviews of Galaxy 2 have probably been the final push I needed to commit too it.  I also golf alot and will probably get the new Tiger woods when it comes out, how are those games?  I was wondering what the other games I should consider getting are?  Is the black Wii as good of a deal as it sounds? 

I would say play Galaxy 1 before 2. I doubt that once you finished Galaxy 2 you'll be able to come back to 1 and enjoy that one as much. The Tiger Wood games are great (with M+), hard as hell might i say. I believe that Tiger 11 will be adding an even harder mode as well as mini golf. As for other games you'll have to check out that list that is floating around in the wii forum and pick accordingly to your taste. Anyway have fun.

Thanks, my neighbor has Galaxy 1 and I've played through most of it.  I might get it if I can a good price on it though. 

Look what the cat dragged back in.

"Nintendo may finally have me :(  "
 
You say that like it's a bad thing.

" The consummate Wii Games list. Haven't updated in a while but it's still relevant. "

I would play the original Galaxy first.

Wait wtf? you say nintendo may finally have me :(? why the unhappy face? nintendo is awesome and its not a bad thing that you like them

I am sure there will be many other happy memories of fun games ahead - it is worth it.  Hell, I bought my second PS3 game 2 days ago (Valkyria Chronicles, to go with Disgaea 3) and I still don't own a PS3 - damn price, still too high  :/ 
 
Think about Monster Hunter Tri - excellent so far and so freaking hard, in a  good way.

the wii is totally worth it just for muscle march. on wiiware for just $5 i believe

i like how you say it like playing any mario game is a bad thing lol. super mario bros owned my childhood. 

" @oldschool: Go buy a Bravia? Aren't sony giving away ps3s again?  From what i hear, the US Black Wii is a damn good deal, AND it's black. Also, make sure you'er into 3D platformers. Otherwise, you're not gonna like SMG very much. "

  if it's the onlly console you own, it's pretty decent, but once you see the HD stuff on the other consoles, it becomes an annoyance playing stuff on the Wii.

I'm getting a Wii as well, I want a PS3 and a Wii, but the Wii's good games/exclusives are very different than a PS3/360's, and getting a PS3 would mean me getting more of the same genre (not a bad thing, just I want some variety) for the most part.  So yeah, I've made my mind up that I'm getting a Wii around the end of June.  Black Wii!

If you like golf games, you should also consider Super Swing Golf Season 2. It's more of an anime golf game with some light RPG mechanics, but I had a blast playing it.

Oh, anyone have an opinion on the Nyko nunchuk for the Wii?  I noticed it has a circular "gate" while Nintendo's has an octagonal gate which I don't really like (I play my brother's Wii every now and then).

@xobballox: 
 

Honestly, I'd just stick with the standard.  Third party hardware of any sort tend to break like you wouldn't believe.  My parents made that mistake with a 3rd party guitar for guitar hero, thing broke in a week.  Got a real one off ebay later, and a year and a half later that still works. 
 
Best to just get it right the first time I figure.

Get a blunt, some good friends, and Mario Kart Wii.  Prepare yourself for an exceptional time.
