i've been out of the console loop for years now
no i'm not giving up my pc high end gaming. but i recently started thinking about getting a large screen tv for bedroom and a Wii so that me and my g/f (who lives with me) can have something we should enjoy together.
she's 39, likes the old...old skool mario and galaxian type games but can not and will not take time to get used to most of todays gamepads. the anolog sticks just throws her out of whack bigtime.
she just doesnt enjoy them. she has shown some interest in how the Wii controls are, she wants to play skiball on it i know...anyway, she constantly mentions of me being on the computer so much when i'm home..blah,blah, thought something like this would be something we may enjoy together.
first i want to know, how is 2 player gaming on it? is it like split screen?
problem there is i hate split screens, hard for me to see well and concentrate. so thats why i'm wanting a big screen, 46" or larger for no more than $1000
do you guys think a middle aged non-gamer girl would actually get into it enough to play often? i mean i know i would to extents, depends on games.
is mario galaxy as fun as mario 64? never played sunshine, looked stupid.
what kind of games should i consider? i know she saw ski-ball for it, she might not like the new mario ones. any flying games for it yet?
what about playing it on a $700 type front projector? anyone with those? the screen size to cost ratio makes it appealing and i dont know the cons.
thanks for advice.
