Wii Whee!
Got a wii - Amazon had them in stock for 3+days! Is that a sign that everyone who wants one has one, or another harbinger of the poor economy?
Is there any accessories/games you guys can't live without? I was thinking:
Wii
Wii Play (extra remote + more sports)
Nunchuk
Rayman's Rabbids (Rabbit bonking here I come!!!)
Zelda
Additional thoughts:
Charging Station?
2 more remotes eventually
Games - Lego Star Wars, Mario Kart, TV Party once i get the Wii Fit...
...
Which charging station? It looks like the Nyko Dual is the most popular, but would the Quad be better? (thanks!)
Batteries
I just bought a battery charger (15 minutes!) and a bunch of rechargeable batteries. I use them for lots of stuff around the house anyway, so figured it was the way to go. The wii charging station looks neat, but I don't have any experience with it.
Games (Updated)
Paper Mario is awesome.
There are also three raving rabbids games out, though I've only played the first.
Smash bros if you're into that kind of thing. Same thing about Mario Galaxy, good game if you like that kind of thing. We bought Paper Mario and Mario Galaxy, beat them, then sold them on half.com. Same with Zelda (great game).
World of Goo is supposed to rock ($15 on wii ware). Other wii ware or VC titles that I liked: Final Fantasy My Life as King (most people hated this... basically you build a town and send adventurers out to kill monsters for you. I like managing things, so this was an ideal game for me); Tetris Party (good multiplayer game if you like tetris at all). If you are in to retro Nintendo games, they have lots.
I support your wii play decision (for the remote), though only about three games of wii play are worth it (duck hunt, face recognizer and the tank game). But Nat and I still go back and play those three games pretty regularly. Especially the tank game, I wish they would make a wii ware tank game.
Nat and I didn't like wario ware, and I read bad things about the wii monkey ball.
One game that is intruiging is Okami. Watercolor graphics, supposed to be Zelda-like.
Those are all I can think of off the top of my head. I'll put some more up later when I've had time to think about it (after job interview).

Thanks for the input - rechargeable batteries sound like a good idea and I think my parents have a system they don't use.
Were you a fan of Lego Star Wars? I think my brother and I are going to try to split games between us, and I can't wait to get a fit and try the raving rabbids tv party.
Also, what's the right number of Nunchuks to have? I know I need 4 remotes but it sounds like most games with 4 just use the remote?
Charger is good. The
Charger is good. The steering wheel, for Mario Kart?
