Got my Wii a couple days ago... a friend that works at gamestop grabbed one for me on the second shipment, they were holding out for Black Friday, but I got mine wednesday night. Yay.
Also got Zelda, Trauma Center, and Monkey Ball. I'm just barely scratching the surface of Zelda, I'm kind of waiting until I have a full day off work before I jump way into it. I've mainly been playing Trauma Center, which is just an amazing game. The graphics are really nothing very special, and the story is your stereotypical japanese over-the-top manga-esque plotline. The cutscenes remind me of japanese dating sim games (yes, I've played one, yes, I'm a loser), but the actual gameplay is top notch. Really intense, and difficult but not unfair. It's one of those games where you can lose over and over, but still enjoy yourself and feel like you're getting better and more efficient with each try.
I haven't put much time into Super Monkey Ball, but my initial impressions are good. You move the monkey around by tilting the world, the world is tilted by tilting the controller. Along with the A button making you jump, that sums up the controls of Super Monkey Ball. Controller is held parallel to the floor, and you tilt it whichever way you want the world to tilt. The controls are extremely responsive and precise, and easy for anybody to pick up and play because it's so simple. The levels can get extremely hard though, but the simple controls make it so it's just you vs. the level, and not you vs. the controls AND the level.
Anyway, so far, I'm extremely impressed with the Wii. I have no regrets whatsoever for any of the 3 games I bought, which is pretty rare for me because I'm really cheap and try to buy as little as possble. Usually when I spend this much money at one time, I fall into a deep, guilt ridden depression. I haven't really had the chance to do that yet with the Wii, I've just been having too much fun playing it.
