The Wii is a family console and you should treat is as such.
We had a lot of fun with our family bowling, playing tennis and those kinds of things.
Heck, we even made a whole night out of it. Those were good times.
The Wii is not a gamer's console though, it's too gimmicky for that. It has some great games with Super Mario Galaxy which is just superb 3D platforming at its best. It doesn't have many "can't miss" games and most high end games just play and look better on Xbox or PS. Skyward Sword is also a great title and gives you about the most use you can get out of the controller, still they ended up making it pretty annoying at times when trying to time a Skyward Strike.
The reason I like SNES the best is that the games and the console were a perfect fit. It took about 15 years for any football/soccer game to play as smoothly as ISS did on SNES and the graphics and music on Donkey Kong Country were worthy of poems and songs. Optimized 2D gaming offered flawless gameplay back then. It's a bit sad that the industry dove into 3D a bit too soon, meaning we had to endure all of those awful vexel games. Anyone remember what the first Tomb Raider looked like on PS1? Awful, you couldn't tell her nose from her chin. Of course it was a new kind of game and we loved and hated the pixel perfect running jumps we had to make.
The transformation from 2D to 3D was a rocky one and it took quite some time, but the last years we're finally getting the high quality 3D games we deserve.
