Hey Zap, how do you like COD3 on the Wii? I picked up Red Steel, and it's total crap. The controls are terrible, the graphics aren't even up to first-gen Gamecube standards, and the cutscenes are weak. However, I really want a FPS to show off the Wiimote with. Would you reccomend COD3? How does it control? Have you had a chance to play Red Steel so you could compare the two?

Thanks.

Plus, you're a lucky man finding that nunchuck. I can't find it anywhere, lol.:(

I know the question wasnt directed at me but COD3 graphics are alot better than redsteels and the controls for COD3 are similar to redsteel just done right. So if i were you i would get rid of redsteel and get COD3.

for anybody with a classic controller explain to me the purpose of it and if i should get it

I don't have a Classic Controller, but its purpose is mainly to play Virtual Console games. It's almost the exact same layout as the old SNES controller with a few extra buttons added so you can use it for N64 games as well. You can use a Gamecube controller for Virtual Console games, so if you have one of those, you might just want to use that instead of buying a Classic Controller.

As far as regular Wii games go, no. You'll be able to play every Wii game with the Remote/Nunchuck combo that came with your Wii. Here's a quick compatability chart that might help you out:

are you asking which ones I have? lol

For the Wii: ExciteTruck, COD3, Red Steel, Super Swing Golf (which is being traded for Super Monkey Ball), and Madden 07 is on its way. Oh, and of course Wii Sports, as well.

well, we're not big gamers, so Zelda wasn't on the top of our list. We actually got the Wii because it's "the non-gamer's gaming system" (ie: not the best graphics, not HD, cheaper, more interactive so it appeals to those not totally comfortable with a controller, etc). we'll probably end up getting Zelda eventually just to have it, but it's not high on our list of priorities..
