I am SOOO waiting to get this one. If I wasn't on a complete spending freeze, I would have bought it by now. Its the first time that I have been excited about a Wii game since near release time.

I have and trust me its worth it. The only problem with the game is that it seems short - there are 13 guys you face to win the belt and then face them again with the fighters removing their original weakness (ie Glass Joe wears a helmet and King Hippo wears a manhole cover over his gut). Multiplayer is local only.

Still a blast though.

I rented Zack and Wiki and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Wii.

I have nothing to add beyond yes buy lots of Wii games, and buy them from Gamestop.

I own both stocks and I need them to go up so I can get out of them.

I stopped buying wii games months ago. All of their games just become so boring very fast. I only rent and even then by the time I send them back I am already bored with them, including the new Punch Out, beat it the first day, bored the next day.

I finally got the Wii Mario Kart for my son. It is a lot more fun than Nascar Kart.

I still want to get Shaun White's Snowboarding.

Bought Wii Resort. It's fun. My family has fun with it. The Wii Motion Plus add on does make a difference with accuracy. Have to be honest though. It seems like in some of the Wii Resort events, Nintendo didn't get it.

Most 3rd party games on the Wii suck and 3rd party developers couldn't "get" the original Wii remote. The fact that Nintendo screwed up some of the events on their own game doesn't bode well for 3rd party developers IMO.

Despite a few horrible events in Resort, the rest are worth picking the game up for. It's fun.

Ok, so I finally downloaded this a few days ago thanks to the Pepsi Rock Band promotion.

This game is pretty cool. A lot of lemmings in this game. Fun stuff. Apparently I am a nerd.

It is really fun. I don't mind being a nerd, either. I have more fun watching than playing...but I'm like that with almost any game. I do enjoy playing it, though.

It was more fun when I started mixing alcohol with it. Everytime I had to start a level over, I had to take a drink.
