Also, I haven't bought any additional games right now, but is it easy to play other people online? I also have a 360 and was curious if the online games work similar.

Thanks.
They have DS demos on the Wiiware channels, but no Wii demos. Not sure if there are plans for that or not. Online with the Wii is extremely easy. As long as your router is set up, you just input a couple settings and you're good to go. The games that support it are seamless. I found the Wii online setup to be easier than the 360 (when I had one).

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

You can use gamecube controllers, not N64 controllers. I have two Wavebirds which are the wireless Gamecube controllers. They are nice but hard to find. But the normal wired Gamecube ones work great too. I also have the Wii Classic Controller which is a SNES style controller that plugs into the wiimote. It is only needed if you plan on playing a lot of Virtual Console games, but the Gamecube controller can be used for those too.

You can use them for most of the virtual console games. Only some Wii games support those, like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros.

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

Now I see why the Wii sells so damn well.

I was at my GF's parent's house today for lunch. Her mom comes home from Target with a Wii. At first I thought it was a present for someone because they aren't gamers at all. At all. But they're like we saw it at a friend's house and it's really interesting. Her mom is also like plus it has the Wii Fit.

Genius Nintendo, genius.
