Have a few questions about the Wii?

After a long night of drinking and playing bowling on the Wii yesterday i%26#39;m thinking about getting one but have a few questions.

First, If I cant and don’t plan on putting the Wii online is it still worth getting? Also, someone told me that the Wii gets updates when online, are these updates mandatory to play games that may come out later?

Second, are there going to be some cooler shooting games on the Wii as opposed to the GameCube which seemed to have mostly children’s games?

Any other opinions on the Wii you want to give would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer:

Buy it I have it and is great! get the wii. i have it and love it. let me tell you, i have it hooked up to the internet and in all reality, i can live without it. i mean, its cool, you can buy old games and browse the internet, but the games are few and far between and the internet part is kind of lame. just use your computer. and as of right now i dont think you can even play people online. and as far as updates, i heard they will have them, but i never had to update my system. and i doubt they would make everyone update there system in order to play a game. and as far as shooters for the wii, i am going to have to say yes there will be lots. if you look at what the wiis gimmick is, the whole point the controller at the tv, it only makes sense that they should make shooters. so my advice to you is, go out and get one. its extremely fun. hope this helps First, the wii does get updates online, its called wii connect24 and what happens is you have to hook up ur wii to a valid internet connection, and then say u download super mario world for the super nintendo, it automatically updates on ur wii overnight, even when its on standby mode (when u power ur wii off). Second, the only shooting game available for the wii is call of duty 3, which is pretty good and all, but it gets pretty frustrating as you need to use the wii remote and the nunchuk attachment to perform certain hand "gestures" (i.e. driving a van or fighting off Nazi%26#39;s with ur wii remote). Again, this is the only shooting out on the market right now, but hopefully there will be more in the near future.
