whats up with the wii

My wife and I are gonna buy a wii for my son in July for his birthday.  He\'s only starting to get into video games, but what better system to get for a little kid than a wii?  We got to play one at a New Year\'s Eve party and my wife wanted to get one the next day.  I just like that i\'ll be able to play Mario Galaxy and any other gems that come along, I\'ll still mainly game on my PC anyway.

if you have Super Nintendo, how about let him play the basic 2-D games first like Super Mario All Stars that has Super Mario 2 and 3 in it, Super Mario World, Mega Man X, or Wanderer From Ys III...

but of course, the Wii should have some of those games downloadable I think...since I haven\'t been playing any new games lately, I really don\'t know what new games to suggest.

kids are spoiled by todays games - they wont want to play games like those if their friends has such and such console with better graphics

only time i see kids play the 2d route is on their handhelds
