    haven't played it for about 3 weeks.
    Found it on the living room floor yesterday, with a gamecube controller plugged into it (apparently the colours in Super Smash Bros were a bit funny).
    Perhaps a hint that I should buy some more games?

    ive not played mine in a week, but thats mainly because i have to share the television with my sister and brother in law. Its ok though as im slowly progressing in Zelda.

    I am however tempted to get excite truck as i heard its really fun.

    Also does anyone have any feed backs on how a Wii would look like if plugged into a ;lcd 1680 x1050 monitor via component connections.

    Gotta say I am, had some great fun boxing etc and zelda, but theres not much depth to anything. Only play it when I'm drunk/have mates around now.

    Yep I sold mine two weeks ago. I quite enjoyed but the missus didn't, as Chuck says there's isn't much depth to the games.

    I can always buy another one if the situation changes, till then I have my PC, Gamecube & 360 to satisfy my gaming needs.

    I would never get bored with it,

    I get more exercise, have never played multi player console games so much and Rayman was the craziest game I have ever played

    just getting into Wario ware, weird to say the least,

    as long as they concentrate on the game that utilize the controller to it's full potential instead of turing out useless one dimensional games, I will always be happy.

    It feels like that to me, too, but the Wii has only been out in this country for nine weeks.

    Just finished Zelda - and to be honest - was a bit underwhelmed by it all, and glad it was finished. I dont think that i was ever fully drawn in by the game.

    But I've got Metroid Prime and RE4 that I've started on GC - so that will do me until SSX Blur

    I think mine has been sat gathering dust since the new year, when the 360 and PS3 are sitting next to it, there's just no contest on the games front.

    I am interested in SSX Blur and Sonic though, I might dust it off when those arrive .

    Think it's time for me to sell mine. I've not had mine connected since the middle of January. I think I just had an "OMG WII IN STOCK MUST BUY QUICK" moment.

    Hurts me to say it, but I'm starting to come to that conclusion as well Considering that OoT is my favourite game of all time, I was expecting TP to completely blow me away - I am enjoying it quite a lot but I just don't feel as emersed in it as I did with OoT (and other great adventures). I'm about 27 hours in now, and kinda hoping that I'm near the end... shouldn't ever be like that with a "classic" adventure game. Don't regret playing it though.

    It does feel like an eternity for the games to come out.

    I am currently playing mostly wii sports and a bit of zelda. I have about 6 games wario is ok but would have been better with decent multiplayer included. Monkeyball is a bit too much of a crap party game selection. Red steel has potential but is annoying at times thanks to the controls.

    The games are taking a while to come out but remember the Xbox 360 launch was slow and look at it now.

    Quite a lot is resting on Tiger Woods 2007 for me, that's the kind of game I bought the Wii for... really hoping it's a cracker. I'm also hoping that we'll eventually see cartoon 3D adventures a la Banjo Kazooie etc., Nintendo consoles are normally home to excellent games in that genre.

    Yeah I know what you mean but Sonic is out the end of this week that should tide me over for a little while but I can see what you mean.
