Unrelated: I found about a half dozen Wii points cards in my hometown marked down to $12. 2000 points on the cheap, woot! Now, not having dabbled in Wii shoppin' before, I ask for recommendations. Help me, Joystiq guys and gals!

Terms: No titles I could've previously attained in North America. I'm looking at WiiWare and "imported" VC content.

Lost Winds and World of Goo are pretty good...and maybe Dr. Mario Online...though you could probably get that fix elsewhere.

Alien Soldier wasn't released in America, that's the legend anyway. That was a favouite of mine when I was small.

And Star Parodier is pretty cool, but at 900 points it's a little dear.

As far as import VC titles go...
-Sin & Punishment
-SMB: The Lost Levels
-Alien Soldier

WiiWare:
-Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
-Megaman 9
-Tetris Party
-LostWinds
-Dr. Mario Online Rx
-Toki Tori
-World of Goo

There may be more that are good... but that's all I can think of at the moment.

First two are easy:

1) World of Goo.
2) Groovin' Blocks

After that um... Tetris Online, Lost Winds, Toki Tori. The Final Fantasy game is also good but too long (levelling...).

I don't play Virtual Console so no recommendations there.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King. And get all the DLC for it. Lots of goodness.

I've heard good things form Gyrostarr but the pricks wont release it for PAL territories.

How about activating the USB port to use an external HDD?

Oh wait, that would be useful.

If you don't have it, i would really recommend Wrecking Crew. I've probably gotten 80 or so hours out of that little NES game alone, and still haven't burned through all the puzzles (stuck on puzzle #80, attempts at which have probably cost me about 2 hours of my life)

Is that another attempt at the bottom to say the wii has no "core" games? Most people consider a core game to be a franchise game. We already have Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart, Wario, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Excite Truck (excite bike spinoff), Paper Mario, Mario baseball and soccer, Smash Bros.

Considering MS started rolling out the NXE yesterday, was anybody else secretly expecting this update to introduce a Blades-style display for the Wii?

It would be amusing if they rolled out an update that killed Miis and Channels and installed Blades.

@zlickrick

Heres an idea! Buy some games for it. If i bought a 360 with Vampire Rain, IronMan, Eragon and Soldier of Fortune: Payback, i'm sure i'd say it was a shit console that only useful as a paperweight. All consoles are crap until you actually go out and buy some decent games for it, and could name 2 dozen worth buying right now (without even touching on WiiWare/VC) but i'm lazy, and i'm sure some Xbot would counter with a list containing 90% FPS games done better on PC.

Ludwig, the update has also increased the time it takes to copy channels from and to the SD quite a lot. :)

He's right. Reports are coming in that Wii-to-SD copy speeds are down to seconds, rather than minutes

A precursor to the "storage solution"

Hell, "fridge-cleaning" is almost acceptable now

The lava represents the vitriolic haters, who, despite claiming to have too much to play, still find time to come up with cockamamie arguments and lob random insults

The hate is caustic enough to eat through anything, anyways
