ill second exactly that above,
i play my ds lite alot more than the wii,
the wii is like the gamecube, too slow bringing games out.
they are GREAT fun though bowling,boxing and tennis is really amusing and gives you a decent physical workout

Got my mates at my house at the moment. Is AMAZING. So much fun. I don't think i'll ever get bored of playing wii tennis, boxing etc. Those are the kind of games that all you need is a mate or 3 round and some beer and it's hours of fun.

But you will need one for the shoot-em ups and flying games etc.

Check out Mario Charged Soccer as it is the first on-line game, mines in the post. I have also pre-ordered Battalion Wars 2 which is also an on-line game.

I have been using Choices Direct for games, free delivery in the UK and even when delivered to Portugal most things are cheaper than Amazon (before P&P).
