I'm really tempted by the Wii.

So far, my wallet has been saved by no one in town ever having it in stock (apart from in bundles with games I don't want).

I've played on a friend's Wii, & was very impressed with it, bar one thing...

... the apparent lack of anything good apart from Wii Sports.

I did try Zelda, too, but really wasn't impressed. Seems to just be a port of the GameCube one, but with awkward controls. Didn't grab me & draw me in straight away like Ocarina did way back on the N64.

And as Mario & Metroid still haven't got release dates AFAIK, while Red Steel & Far Cry etc. are a bit crap from what I've heard, what else is there to play that's actually worthwhile?

Just Virtual Console games?

Is it really worth getting a Wii just for Wii Sports & the VC games?

Or does the novelty wear off quite quickly?

Does the Wii have any longevity at the moment?
