Should I buy Wii just for Punch out?

[Mbalmer]

I know everyone is talking about FN4, but I am thinking about buying a Wii just for Punch Out. I am a huge fan of the series and still play on the nes. However, my wife thinks that Wii Fit would be fun, and if I do buy this it is going to cost me 400 dollars. (Wii, Wii Fit, Punch Out) Is this game worth it? Money is not really an issue, but still, it is 400 dollars.

Yes, you should.

But let me qualify it first.

I am on my 3rd Wii. The first two times I thought it was absolute garbage mainly because I was buying 360-like games on it. And there is just no comparison.

So, on my 3rd attempt, I bought games that had no 360 counterpart.

Punchout, if you love the series, is AWESOME. In addition, Mario Kart, if you can get online, is AWESOME. And finally, Super Mario Galaxy is AWESOME. In addition, you can get Punchout and other great NES games on the cheap and declutter your entertainment center.

Finally, make sure you do craigslist. I have never paid more than $125 for a Wii. This last Wii I got for $80. The trick is to look at all the packages on craigslist and buy one that has a lot of value. Then sell those games on amazon. My last one cost $260 but got it down to $80 after unloading everything.

I just got a Wii but, I didn't buy it for PO. I bought it because of TW 10 and the Motion plus. I got PO last night because all the reviews were amazing. And let me say, it's all that is said to be. It's a FUN game. I put caps on FUN because that's what it is. You have to go into it with that idea of fun. If you go in thinking it's FN don't buy it. I haven't played MP yet but, I have some friends coming over tonight so I'll do my impressions if you guys want.
