    That is the consensus I have gathered. It is just everyone jocks Gunstar Heroes and for some reason I remembered as a little guy I could not get into it so I keep getting talked into getting it again. Thanks for your input.

        I'd ignored the Virtual Console games until I stumbled on a Wii at my gamestop friday...Right now I'm playing Zelda Twilight Princess, but soon on my list is a classic controller so I can play the old school games! Toe Jam and Earl will be mine, i loved that game as a kid

          Congrats Mgo! I "stumbled" into mine and had totally ignored NCAA 2008 for a couple days.

            I was going to buy Nascar 08 and the guy happened to mention that they somehow had a few in stock...rather than do the "Sunday morning wake up early" plan in a month or two when I figured I'd get a Wii anyways, why not get it now...Too many games I want though, cost adds up fast

              that's how I was, I hesitated a bit but then I was like, oh well, never known when i'll have the opportunity to get one again. Lot of games I want to play too going back to gamecube. I gamefly'd super paper mario and I'm going to finish it up and then get started on Zelda. I'll send you a Mii invite or whatever.

                  I do, and I probably only turn the system on a few times a week.

                  Then again, all of my systems are in standby (PS3, PS2, Wii) and I've never had any problems.

                  EDIT: SoMiss, add my console to your address book and I'll send some Mii's once our consoles sync up.

                    Wii Systems In Gyms

                    23 hours, 3 minutes ago:

                    A gym in Canada has started to include a Wii system in their building. The gym is called “Studeo 55″ and celebrities such as Alias’ Jennifer Garner and comedian Nick Cannon often visit this particular gym.

                    They have a special room for those who want to play the Wii. It is a 400 square-foot theater room according to an article at Yahoo! Tech’s website.

                    “It’s important that people know that if they have 50 or 60 pounds to lose, the solution isn’t to go buy a Wii,” said Nathan Mellalieu who is the club owner. He also mentioned that one session of playing Wii Sports, the game that was included in every console that was sold in North America, can burn between 75-125 calories.

                    The members of the gym are encouraged to use the Wii theatre room to warm-up or cool down.

                    It is located in Vancouver, British Columbia and the membership costs between $300 and $400.

                    I have not seen any news like this. It will definitely help Nintendo in promoting the Wii system to the public.

                    If there are other gyms that have an empty space, they may do something like this in order to sway members from the competition.

                                Does anyone know the trade-value of the Wii and/or controllers at Gamestop? I am looking to get rid of mine. If anyone is interested PM me.
