So, I'm considering repurchasing a Wii...

But I'm teetering on the edge, I got to play New Super Mario Bros. Wii today, and I got to see a glimpse of Nintendo's fantastic design of yester-year.

With games like Punch-Out and NSMB, that take tried and true formulas and just update them, I've seen Nintendo actually becoming interesting to me again.

So, Nintendo fanboys of RWP, can you convince me to buy a Wii again ? I hate WiiConnect24, the internet service is awful, I'm not interested in Virtual Console games, but am pretty interested in the homebrew aspect of the Wii.

Have at it, see if you can sway me.

The homebrew will definitely make the Wii more interesting when you're done with the games you want, but only if you want to keep checking up on Wiibrew.org/Hackmii.com on when to update your Wii ect. Pretty much every Nintendo update now is only to try and stop homebrew, but the Team of hackers normally have workarounds a few days after.

Also Remember there is also SMG2 and Metriod another M to be released.

I love my Wii but it seems like the $200 could go towards something better

Games that are coming out in the near future:
Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid Other M
Zelda Wii
Pikmin 3
Red Steel 2
Epic Mickey
Gladiator AD
No More Heroes 2
The Grinder

Games that are already out:
Okami
The Conduit
Excitebots
No More Heroes
Boom Blox: Bash Party
De Blob
Rabbids Go Home
Zach and Wiki
Metroid Prime Trilogy (especially if you have 1 or none of the games. If you have 2 of them, you should consider it. All three, not worth it)

WiiWare Titles:
World of Goo
Bomberman Blast
Tetris
Dr Mario
Cave Story
Lost Winds (either of them)

And then the obvious games like Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Brawl, Mario Kart etc.

Also, the online isn't horrible, most developers are just lazy when it comes to it. Some developers like High Voltage Software are really taking advantage of it though.

Red Steel and The Conduit were very generic shooters, so I don't care for them, I've already played Okami, and I'm not interested in gimmicky mini-game filled casual games, like the Rabbid games.

The Metroid Prime trilogy is great, I'm sure, but I've played all three of them several times. It would be fun to play Prime 1 on the wii though. Zelda is compelling, and so is Mario Galaxy 2, however.

Red Steel 2 actually looks a lot better than Red Steel 1 to be honest

The new Rabbids game is more like Katamari, or so I heard.

I'd recommend it, because it is cheap and finally has a decent library of games.

@Alakazam-I can't wait to play it in its glorious cell-shaded graphics.

Oh remember there is a black colour you can buy now.

Black colour = awesome but as soon as they stop selling they will make more colours and then after that they will give the new wiis with dvd video playing ability which the wii already has through homebrew. Then "Wii HD".

/Nintendo master plan

I edited your post to show the games I'm interested in. I've already played Punch-Out, finished it completely, and I absolutely loved it.

I previously owned Brawl before selling my Wii, and would probably get it again.
