We've got Wii Play (which quite frankly isn't worth the money, don't 
bother with it!), Tony Hawks Downhill Challenge and Rayman.

None of them are as much fun as two player Tennis though! Go figure :)

I've not tried Tony Hawks single player yet, but in two player mode it 
isn't that good really. Not a patch on SSX by a long shot. I'll probably 
end up selling it.

Rayman is superb though.. really good fun. The only annoying part is 
that you can't play the two player games until you've unlocked them in 
single player. But co-op bunny plunger shooting is wonderful :)

I also bought a few games for the Virtual Console including Bomberman, 
which is good fun but bastardly hard!

Can anyone get onto the Forecast or News channels? Whenever I try it 
says I need a system update, which I agree to and then it says I'm 
running the latest update anyway, so I never get anywhere. Wii Shop 
works fine though (typical).

Have you had any wander onto your console yet? I set mine up to roam, 
but my Wii Parade is still barren.

Cheers,

Rich
