Any good online/multi-player games for the Wii?

[cweber39]

What are some good Wii games I can play online with a buddy of mine? Thanks!

Super Smash Bros Brawl is super fun. The online is good except that there's no way to talk besides those pre-made texts.

If you want online fun you should probably by an xbox 360. Best online strategy out there. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yeah that's not really helpful at all. I already have a PS3 and a Wii. I am looking for a game I can play with a buddy of mine since he and his wife also have Wii.

I only know of 3 online games for the Wii:

-Super Smash Bros. Brawl (which I'd wholeheartedly recommend)

-Super Mario Strikers

-Pokemon Battle Revolution (I could try to preach the virtues of Pokemon as a surprisingly-deep turn based strategy game, but if you're not already both playing the franchise on the DS....I doubt this one will appeal to you.)

 

I don't think the EA sports games have online multiplayer (yet); someone feel free to add any other online Wii games.

 

Edit: I should probably mention that Mario Kart Wii is coming out next month (but also uses the same canned phrases / no voice chat system that Brawl does)

Does anyone know how the Medal of Honor games are for the Wii?

I played Madden 2008 online with the Wii. It was quite laggy for me, but it was my first online experience ever, so that may be the norm?

Medal of Honor = bad. I could spin around and get shot real easily, but very difficult to actually play/move.

I was really excited for Medal of Honor, but everyone I talked to said it was gawdawful. I really wish Metroid Prime 3 would've had an online mode - that'd be way too awesome.

Mhgb, lagging is not the norm. My first online experience was with Madden for the PS2 and was very laggy. Sorry, but if you want online experience you got to go with X-box 360.

If I might interject, we are looking at getting a Wii. I've got two questions, one what is the best way to get a console in the next 5-6 weeks. I've looked at a couple of tracker sites, but based on the logs it looks like a lot of the retailers sell out quickly (minutes). I'm not interested in buying used, and or inflated prices. I don't mind some of the more modest bundles ,but I don't see the point in getting 6 games only one of which might actually get played. Do most in store retailers still have like a waiting list you can pre order through?

 

Second question what extra hardware do I really need? The most appealing games to my family would be Mario kart, Wii sports, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Zelda, and then a lot of the old Sega and Nintendo games. I think that means that we need 2 new controllers, and then 2 classic controllers. are there are things that wewould need beyond the extra controllers?

On Ebay, they often go for a very fair amount on weekends.

 

Wal Mart gtes theirs on Tuesday mornings, i think. Ask people who work there. Checxk the Sunday ads, stoeres will hold them back if they are advertised. Shopko and Game Stop are both "the road less traveled" from what I hear.

I would highly recommend getting rechargeable batteries. The Wiimotes burn through batteries. I would also recommend the component cables if you have a TV that shows 480p. That one is less necessary though.
