We're in the 7th generation of home consoles. I would think that the release
of the 3DS will prevent NiN from dropping anything for at least 2 years.
This Wii has much life left in it now that MS and Sony are trying to grab
sales with motion controls.
The Golden Eye Remake is really fun and it's probably the only thing that
people are playing online for the Wii. The graphics aren't as top notch as
the other big 2 systems out there but still Nintendo seems to always be on
the fore front of gaming innovation. Japan takes gaming as seriously as the
West takes religeon. All the best stuff we get here in terms of games are
typically out in Japan for a while before reaching us.
As far as Wii accessories, a light gun isn't something I've seen. I do know
you can get a chuck holder in the shape of a gun for FPS games and such.
Get a Wii and a classic controller and you can sell your Gamecube.
Cheers Mate,

I've no doubt that gamefaqs is a hotbed of xbox fanboys, but even then,
isn't sunshine generally considered one of the "lesser" mario games?
I though it was technically pretty impressive, and often fun to play,
but did seem a bit lacking in some way... I dunno, personally I just got
sick of that island and the damn tropical theme. One nice thing about
many other entries in the series is that they mix it up a lot.
