    What? The Wii is more than Wii Fit, you know.
    Not much more, admittedly.

    I had mates who had the other machines, so never really felt like I needed them myself. Same with the Nintendo machines, never needed to own one until the 'cube.

    Wow, I can almost smell the disappointment from here! ;) The Amiga was still going pretty strong then, IIRC - should have kept that!

    Ha yes! the only consolation in all this was that id managed to hype up a mate of mine to get his parents to also buy him it for xmas so its not like i was the only asshole with a dud machine :)

    Actually he ended up worse than me as on boxing day when i bought SSF2 (which was brilliant) he spent his money on way of the warrior which was gash.....oh how i laughed!!!

    Not enough for me to part with my cash, i think it will end up like my benchpress, collecting dust and covered in clothes. if i could get something like Wii pole dancing/ lap dancing for the girlfriend, then i might consider it!!

    First party, third party games, Virtual Console, WiiWare, Gamecube back catalogue, if you've never had a Nintendo console before, Wii is the best place to go if you want to find out what its all about.
