I thought Red Steel was pretty good.
Wii Play is a cool game, it has 9 ball on it so I immediatly fell in love.
I also liked Trauma Center, it's a cool little surgery sim game.

A second Wii remote (aka "wiimote") might be nice, if you plan to play together (ie, playing bowling or tennis together in WiiSports). Make sure that all the wiimotes you get have wrist straps, too -- trust me, you'll need them. There are little gel sleeves you can get for the wiimotes that make them easier to hold and easier to clean. Also, component cables (like these: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Component-Video-Cable/dp/B000JJRV90
/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-4323352-4420810?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1178733985&sr=8-1 ) are the best quality video cables for the Wii, if you're worried about that sort of thing.

You can also get your Wii online using something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wi-Fi-USB-Connector/dp/B000MXMNG4/ref=s
r_1_10/002-4323352-4420810?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1178734284&sr=1-10 That opens up a lot of functionality on the Wii, including a web browser, the ability to communicate with friends and family who have their Wiis online, and the ability to connect to any Nintendo DSs you have.

As for games, you've got some good titles there. I think WiiSports is the quintessential Wii game. I played the new WarioWare title for the Wii at a party and it was ridiculously fun. I've also tried out the new SSX title, SSX Blur, and I've found the controls a bit difficult to master but overall the game is fun.

I am hoping they come out with a keyboard soon like the 360 has, for the web browser.

If you buy the Wii Play game it comes with a Wiimote.

It makes more sense to buy the game seeing as a Wiimote is $39.99, and the game is $49.99.

Dosen't come with a nunchuk though.....

Is that the gold-plated Thomas? It looks like the Wii is going to make me bleed cashy money.

Not that the wife isn't worth it.
