Amazon sells 17 Wiis per second

I was sort of surprised and wondered if it really was that popular, or just such an amazing console?

I just got one for Christmas, and was also wondering what tricks people used to get used to the Wii Remote. I'm sorta getting used to it, but very slowly, and it's still irritating.

And what is the use of the Wii Parade thing?
Can you play Wii Sports/other games online with other people?
What are some good games for the Nintendo Wii?

It really depends what you're into. If you like really epic single player games go with Zelda Twilight Princess. If you're into beat em ups wait for super smash bros. If you like racing games there's need for speed pro street. Zelda takes about on average 30 hours if you're an experienced player. Personally it's my favorite zelda and better than Oot.

I work for Radioshack.

Week and a half before Xmas we get this memo:

Dear Radioshack associates,


Radioshack Corp. is sold out of Wii's until after Dec. 25.



They are popular. The games have a lot of replay value, but I personally don't like them because there are almost no FPS/MMOs on it. Its a very family oriented console.

Just play a lot, wii sports helps you get use to it if you play all the different games a bunch of times.

This is where your Wii Friends can send their mii's to you, and you can send your miis so friends can see them.

Wii Sports: No But there are games online, such as Mario Strikers, battalion wars, and some others, Smash Bros will be online.

I would say, Zelda, Super Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, along with others, battalion wars is pretty fun.
