I’ve ordered a Nintendo Wii. This will be my first ever games console, so I need a bit of advice on what games to get. So far, I’ve ordered:
- The Wii with Sports Pack
- Extra Wii-mote and Nunchuck (I share the flat with 2 others so would be fun to have multiplayerness)
- Rayman’s Ravin Rabbids (or however it’s spelt), on the grounds that for multiplayer silliness we might get bored with Sports quite quickly. Now, this one I bought from gamestation.co.uk and decided to risk buying a ‘used’ rather than a new copy, as it’s cheaper. Is this a good idea?
I also intend to get Super Mario Galaxy as all reviews I’ve read were positively glowing, and I have had a brief go at it on a friend’s Wii and was quite captivated by the whooshiness of everything.
So, at some point - though not just yet - I will be looking for more games. I’ve been reading around and so far I’m tempted by these:
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (N.B. I have never played a Zelda game!)
- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (hey, I need at least one shooty game…)
Any hints, tips, suggestions?
Perhaps I will chronicle my first console experiences here in the weeks to come.
(By the way, having noticed the last thing I posted publicly here on this blog, I should probably comment that I am single, having broken up with Katy at New Year. London-Glasgow was pretty difficult.)
