#Must-Own Games & Accessories for Nintendo Wii
The list author says: "I have been a Nintendo addict since the days of the NES, which to this day remains plugged in to my TV alongside my Super NES, N64, GameCube, and now my Wii. I think the Wii is the best thing to happen to video games since the NES; it's incredibly original and innovative, and has made discovering video games feel new again. It's got great titles for individual hardcore gamers as well as for the whole family; the appeal is universal and I'm delighted with its massive success.
For all the great games I'm listing here, remember that, as a Wii owner, it is essential for you to get your Wii online and start downloading from the Wii Shop Channel's incredible library of amazing retro games from the NES, Super NES, N64, Sega Master System & Genesis, TurboGrafx 16, NeoGeo, Commodore 64, Arcade, and original WiiWare titles. There are hundreds of new and classic games for players of all ages to download and enjoy!"
