As a Nintendo fanboy who has followed the company since I was but a toddler, I was very excited about the nostaglia brought to my generation by the Nintendo Wii console. At long last, after two years, I finally gathered the courage to buy a Wii for myself - as a personal graduation gift, no less.

Having had a virtual video game hiatus (poor attempt a humor) throughout the latter part of high school and all of college, I felt it was about time that I bought my own console. I already have the entire library of NES and Super Nintendo games, as well as several Nintendo 64 games (sorry, skipped Gamecube).

But with all the Wii has to offer (including backwards compatibility with Gamecube games), I am proud to expand my collection. Today, I proudly own the following games and accessories.

Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - Anime-inspired fighter with lots of fighting and fireworks
Elebits - blast away and make a mess
Mario Kart Wii - race or battle with karts and bikes
Mario Strikers Charged - soccer, only with all the chaos of Kart
Super Smash Bros Brawl - duke it out with absolute mayhem, the best local multiplayer game of 2009
Super Mario Bros. Wii - old-school mario with 4 players, the best local multiplayer of 2009
Wii Sports - bowling and tennis are a must

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers - a fun and simple, albeit short, real-time RPG
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - the true sequel to Ocarina of Time
Super Mario Galaxy* - the true sequel to Super Mario 64
Super Mario Galaxy 2* - take the first game, add a Yoshi and a bunch more creativity
Zack & Wiki: The Quest for Barbaros' Treasure* - bring back the age-old Sierra puzzle games

*Limited 2nd player functionality available

Similar to my offer with my other collections, if you're around, come on by and we can have "Wii party" as they're now being called. It is, after all, a party console and works best with multiplayer. Sure online play is adequate, but it's best when you're both going head-to-head in the living room.

I have 4 sets of Wii remotes and nunchucks, as well as 4 Gamecube controllers. So let me know, and we'll have some fun.
