I'm thinking about getting a Nintendo Wii. I haven't bought a console game since the N64/Playstation 1 days, but the Wii has me interested. The price is right, and it looks like a lot of fun and original games are coming out for it. Plus, judging by Nintendo's track record I should be able to pick up some easy games for my son to play.
I have a few questions for those of you that might already have a Wii.
What would be the bare minimum accessories I should purchase with the Wii? Would I need an extra Wii remote and Nunchuk if I wanted to partake in 2-player gaming, or just a remote?
How does the Virtual Console work? One of the main reasons I like the sound of the Wii is due to the Virtual Console. Playing old SNES and Genesis games really appeals to me (I know I could emulate them on my PC, but it's not the same as playing them on a console hooked up to my TV). How many legacy games are purchasable, and is there a list of them?
I heard that a Gamecube controller can be used with the Wii. True/False?
Does the Wii have built-in wifi, or does it require a separate wifi accessory to connect to a router? How easy is it to connect to a home wifi network?
Does it play regular DVDs?
Is Zelda:Twilight Princess awesome? Nevermind, I already know the answer to that.
