It may not be a 360 or PS3 in terms of graphics, but the Wii has a place in the gamers' collection. I was wondering why I hadn't gotten one sooner. I wanted this particular model (RVL-001) for backwards compatibility with GameCube games. Newer models (RVL-101, RVL-201) are not GameCube compatible. Also, some older Wii games that require GameCube accessories will not work either. Visit the Nintendo website for more information. The seller I got this device from had Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Zelda Skyward Sword. I still like all of these names. I'm not sure yet what games I want next. I'm sure they're doing business with it now that the next-gen consoles are coming out. I'm also interested in virtual console games. The controls are new to me and I need some time to get used to them. The movement of the controllers adds another dimension to the gameplay. Wii Sports makes the heart beat faster. The only problem I have is that the Wii's internal storage is small. I'm not sure of the exact size without looking at the specs as the Wii software measures memory in what are called blocks. When you have a lot of apps on your Wii, you don't have much space for downloaded games and saved games. You need an SD card. Luckily, they're pretty affordable these days. If your Wii Menu is under version 4.0, only 2GB SD is supported. With 4.0+ SDHC is supported up to 32GB but from what I've seen on the forums most people don't even fill their cards with 8 or 16GB. You can save some money there. Now I have 2GB to store.
