10 things to do on Wii while you wait for games

I just got done with Godfather Blackhand Edition, played enough Tiger Woods, and I’m done with Super Paper Mario too. My Wii has finally hit a resting spot, at least for me anyways. However, while at GamePro last week, I heard some awesome things about Super Mario Strikers. The fellers there said they’ve been playing a preview copy for hours, in full-out screams and yells it’s so fun. Can’t wait for that as well as Mario Party this summer too.
That said, some homey has compiled a list of 10 things he plans on doing while he waits for more games. It’s funny because as last months NPD numbers showed, the rest of the world (read: gamer laymans) are still being initiated into the Wii life, particularly Wii Sports. For those that have had the system six months now, you may or may not be coming to a temporary stopping point. If so, here’s an idea from the list: “Play the past top 25 Gamecube games. Despite it’s lower market share and small size, the Nintendo GameCube has a TON of great games that a lot of people missed out on. Check out IGN’s list of the top 25 games on the little system.”
Halo 3 Beta on 360 is quite a bit of fun too.

It’s times like these when I’m glad I have a life outside of video games. Long delays don’t affect me as much.

‘Halo 3 Beta on 360 is quite a bit of fun too.’

I’ve been playing some of the gamecube games that I missed in between play sessions with the newer Wii games. I’ve been really enjoying Pikman 2. That game is very unique for a console game and it looks better than almost all of the Wii games. I really am hoping for a Pikman 3.

My entertainment life is being absorbed by the DS! It seems Nintendo is clearly focusing on that platform more than on Wii right now…

I like editing photos to make people look like monsters and then send them off to everyone in my address book. I also like playing VC and smash bros.

Actually, the Wii is something special that I block out time for, not just something to fill my days.
Single-player Wii games I own that I have finished:
Elebits
Rayman
Single-player Wii games I bought but gave away before finishing:
Monkey Ball
Single-player Wii games I own that I still need to finish:
Zelda
Paper Mario
Marble Mania (just started it last night, and at this rate it’ll be the next one I finish)
Seeing as how I haven’t bought a single VC game yet, nor Wario Ware or Excite Truck or Sonic or Trauma Center or Pangya or Bust-a-Move, I’m not worried about being bored with the Wii. Just the games I have now should be enough to get me through to Dog Island and Elevator Action and Mercury and, god help me, MySims.
I haven’t even tried any of the Wii browser flash gaming portals yet. First Zelda, and now Paper Mario just sucks me in as soon as I turn on the Wii. Which, judging by other people’s comments, is a lot less frequently than most of you.
