At this point I can’t really think of any traditional Wii games, aside from Mario Galaxy of course, that I find myself looking forwards to.

Even when the light is red it's hot!

Smash isn't really a party game, it's just a 4 player fighting game. By party game I mean those things like Warioware that basically consists of minigames or things like that which you can really only enjoy as a group.

That's because you have it on 24/7 download mode or whatever. Make sure the light is red!

I was going to say "but what about Smash Bros. Brawl?". Then i realized that it too is a party game. The most awesome party game in existence, but still a party game. Kind of like Strikers Charged.

WiiFit, I am very interested in.

Honestly, I just keep my Wii unplugged until I actually need it. For some reason that thing gets hot even in its low power standby mode.

It's funny that you mention Gamefly, somehow I think the Wii is giving Gamefly lots of business as most of its games are decent rentals but unwise purchases...
