I had one since launch...till last fall when it got stolen along with all my Wii and Gamecube games. Luckily there's a thing known as insurance so I got a new one and have been steadily trying to buy all the games I had again.

Easier said than done though, since Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes is a...you know...to find for a reasonable price.

I usually play it quite often though. Just recently I beat Twilight Princess for the Fifteenth time and am starting on Metroid Prime 3 for the seventh. And of course, I play this one virtual console game called Super Metroid more times than I could count. But since I'm not the greatest, I still can't break the two hour mark. Closest I got was 3 hours and 2 minutes.

I still have my Wii. It's awesome. I still play Fire Emblem, Shining Force (virtual console thingy game), and whenever I forget that it sucks, Red Steel.

I bought mine, kept it and haven't played it in over 6 months. I'm waiting for someone to violently force me to use it.
Nintendo just want your money- but then why shouldnt they?

Still got mine. Bought it about 6 months after launch day. Now? I've got about 3 games I still play for it, and although I'm probably not going to trade it in, I definitely will invest in a 360 or PS3 (that is, if my roommates didn't already have both systems.)

I still have it and play it. Not as much as when SMGalaxy and Twilight Princess were new, but I still play Brawl and some classics from time to time. I do want to play The Conduit and Tales of Symphonia II on the Wii though...

i've had mine for well over a yeah and i doubt i'll be getting rid of it. i don't play it much as i used to but that's just because a) there aren't many games that interest me and b) i'm playing an online game at the mo.

Technically the Wii in my household belongs to my girlfriend so... yes? Also it DOES have good games for it... just not many.

I've kept mine for Brawl, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. Now that Tatsunoko vs Capcom has been confirmed for America, I've got yet another reason to hang onto it.

Got my Wii, still use it for No More Heroes, Rail Shooters, and playing SSBB. Not to mention for stuff like My Life As A King and 4-player Bomberman '94. There's not a lot to do on the Wii, but for a busy college student who still has his PS2 for more serious/solo games, the Wii works just fine.

EDIT: Plus now I can play Zeldas and Pikmins and Eternal Darkness and all that stuff for the Gamecube.

I bought one for my wife (and she was not as mad as when I came home with my 360) and she played it for all of two weeks and then it sat there. I do not like games that actually make me sweat from physical labour as opposed to stress, I sold it to my buddy for the exact same amount of money that I paid for it...

Really? Kick ass! That game is seriously awesome(Played a friend's import copy). The guy with the yoyo and the 'Y' on his hat (I like to call him Captain Yoyo) is like a competent version of MvsC2's Tronne Bonne. But what's with Roll? Why in the world does she look like that? That's not from any Megaman game I've ever seen...

Yes. This does come with the caveat that I also have a 360, but to me there's been enough 'proper' games on the system released at retail to not only make it worth keeping on, but that I've not been able to buy them all.

On top of that, the best of WiiWare strikes me as much more interesting than the best of XBLA.

I played it briefly at a convention. Tons of fun, can't wait for the US release. Viewtiful Joe and Mega Man Volnutt ftw.

I think they based her appearance on her Mega Man 7 outfit. She hasn't looked like that in a long time, really. Guess they just wanted to go back to her roots.
