      -What exactly is virtual console? I am guessing you need to be connected to the internet to use it. Is it sort of like a Nintendo store for older games?

      Thanks for any and all info!
      Congrats on the purchase. The Wiis are definitely becoming more and more readily available. The TRU here in St. Louis just got some in as did a TRU store in Chicago. So, if anyone is still looking for a Wii, call your local TRU.

        You can get a heads up about VC releases HERE. Some recent news from that site include...

        Smash Bros Brawl to feature VC Demos of the following games:
        - Ice Climber
        - Super Mario Bros.
        - The Legend of Zelda
        - Kid Icarus
        - Kirby’s Adventure
        - Super Metroid
        - StarFox 64

        The idea is that gamers can have the chance to familiarize themselves with the past exploits of the many famous Brawl fighters. - LINK

        ---

        February release list for the Japanese VC (no guarantee these will be out for NTSC or PAL VC):
        Famicom:

        * Super C
        * Tantei Jinguuji Saburo: Yokohama Minato Renzoku Satsujin Jiken
        * Wrecking Crew

        Super Famicom:

        * Cosmo Gang the Puzzle (The original version of Pac-Attack)
        * Do Re Mi Fantasty: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken

        Nintendo 64:

        * Custom Robo V2 (Not released outside Japan, but it's possible we could get it as an import title sometime)

        Sega Master System:

        * Fist of the North Star (Black Belt)

        Sega Mega Drive:

        * Gleylancer
        * Powerball

        PC Engine:

        * Atlas
        * Dungeon Explorer II
        * Power Eleven
        * Neo Nectaris (Delayed from January)

        Neo Geo:

        * Nothing this month, once again!
        I haven't heard of any those titles But its good to see Master System games are now being released, i just hope other regions follow suit (would love to re-live Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Choplifter among others).

          Yes, you can have singles matches in the tennis game.
          Ive tried getting a singles match going in the tennis game, but Im pretty sure you cant do it. Maybe Im totally missing something here.
          I just want to be able to play one on one.
          By the way- my wife found the wii for my birthday.
          Gamestop had 2 shipped in when she called, and they gave her 15 minutes time limit to get there and pick it up.
          Any other games like Big brain Academy?? I friggin love that game so far, but it looks like its gonna wear down pretty quick.

            There is no 1 vs 1 in the tennis.

                  I haven't downloaded a VC game in a long time on the Wii (I think Paper Mario was the last), but I heard they released Harvest Moon yesterday, so I think I'll grab that tonight.

                  Atlanta Braves
                  - Auburn Tigers - Nashville Predators

                    So far Ive only downloaded hockey, punchout, mario kart and pokemon snap.
                    Looked online today, and there are alot of Wii games comingout in the coming months that have me interested.

                      Splitter,

                      Where did you find what games are coming out for VC in the future?

                        wikipedia's page for the virtual console games has a list of future titles but with no dates. maybe that's what he's talking about:


                        Atlanta Braves
                        - Auburn Tigers - Nashville Predators

                          sorry man- I was just talking about new wii games, not the VC games.

                            I've got a question for people who would know more than me! I'm going back to Germany next week, and a friend of mine wanted a Wii from the states. I told him that the console is US region locked and some of the games he bought in Europe would not work. Is everything region locked like I have thought or am I wrong?

                              Holy CRAP, the Wii rules! I was in Portland (Maine dummies) for the weekend, and decided after I called Target the day before that I would show up an hour before they opened to get a Wii (they got 25 in). Well, it sucked waiting in line for an hour in 10 degree weather, but it was worth it.

                              Ended up getting the Wii (with Wii Sports), Zelda, Mario Galaxy, and an extra controller/nunchuck as well.

                              Definitely had a blast with everything so far. Me and my fiance are addicted to Wii Bowling. When i've had time to myself to play, i've been playing Zelda like crazy, and it's absolutely amazing. Honestly, it's the first 3D Zelda i've ever REALLY played, and it's an incredible experience. Can't wait to try Mario Galaxy when I get the chance as well.

                              I can't believe that when The Show comes out, i'll have to balance time between all these games. Let alone, when GTAIV comes out...
