- The Wii has hardly any processing power to handle the awesome Xbox 360 and PS3 games.
anyway, the best Wii game is going to be Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I enjoy Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Naruto Revolution 3, Nights: Journey of Dreams, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, and that's about it.

- Goldeneye is so much fun to play single player missions but the best is the Nintendo Wi-Fi multiplayer online. It's tough at first but with experience you get better equipped with weapons.

- I can't wait to try some of the games you suggested! Interesting that Rock Band is all over this lens; didn't Activision just eliminate that game?

- Rockband isn't Activision, it's Harmonix. The game you're referring to is Guitar Hero, which is now, in fact, discontinued by Activision.

- I have a Wii and I love it! The best games on Wii are the ones that make the best use of its motion sensing. For that, I'd say the Marble Madness games are the best!

- We don't have a Wii, but my son and daughter-in-law do (we gave it to them). I've played MarioCard with them. I'd love to have one, and get the Zelda game (or any Mario-related game).
