Anyone who has been holding off from getting a Wii may want to consider getting one now - the range of decent Wii deals available at the moment is impressive, to say the least.

If you happen to have an Asda Living store nearby (they’re the ones that don’t have any food in them), then you can get the console (with Wii Sports and a Wii Remote) for £150.

Toys R Us are also running a good offer where you get the system package, along with a copy of Mario Kart Wii, for £179.99.

There’s still some Wii bundles at Game as well, many of which contain very good games.

Whenever you buy a console it’s nice to get a game or two with it. Luckily with the Wii you get Wii Sports included in the box - but how about something else as well?

Currently Game have a few different bundles to choose from. They are:

Wii console (with Wii Sports and a Wii Remote) plus a copy of Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 £179.99

Wii console (with Wii Sports and a Wii Remote) plus a copy of Sega Superstars Tennis £179.99

Wii console (with Wii Sports and a Wii Remote) plus copies of Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz £199.99

Wii console (with Wii Sports and a Wii Remote) plus copies of Carnival: Funfair Games, Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 and Ultimate Board Games £199.99

Wii console (with Wii Sports and a Wii Remote) plus copies of Mario Kart Wii, Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 and Sega Superstars Tennis £219.99

My personal pick would be the last one, as Mario Kart and Sega Superstars Tennis are both pretty good. However, either of the £179.99 packs are great value as most other retailers will charge you this for the console and Wii Sports (so you’re essentially getting an extra game for free).

Played Grand Theft Auto IV? Fancy something similar, but different? Well then, you might very well be interested in Bully: Scholarship Edition. It’s an updated version of the PS2 title Canis Canem Edit.

The comparisons with Grand Theft Auto are obvious. Not only is it made by the same people, but the general layout of the game is very similar as well (a school instead of a city, slingshots instead of guns, etc).

base.com are selling the Wii version for £17.99 - for more information, click here.

Darts, darts, glorious darts - the fat man’s sport of choice (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It’s almost as though the Wii was designed with games like PDC World Championship Darts 2008 in mind.

Choose from 16 different players to compete in seven of the major PDC tournaments, or just beat your friends in the multiplayer mode.

To get the Wii version for £14.54 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £16.53 delivered) from Amazon, simply click here. Amazon also have the XBox 360 (click here) and PSP (click here) releases available for £17.99 each.

Because of the way the Wii has been designed, many games are able to incorporate the control scheme to create a unique experience. Such is the case with Kororinpa.

Although it’s a puzzle game where you must navigate balls from a start point through to a goal, using the Wii Remote lets you control who the balls move around the screen. If you’ve player Mercury Meltdown Revolution, it’s very similar.

If you’ve longed to be a fisherman, but don’t fancy the smell or the fact that you’ll be confined to what you catch by stupid EU regulations, then Fishing Master could be just the game for you.

This Wii title has you using the Wii Remote in the same way that you would use a fishing rod and serves as a fairly accurate experience of actually fishing. Most of the fish are real, but there are also some fictional ones as the game progresses.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is the very first Fire Emblem game to appear on the Wii. Like the other games in the series, it’s a deep tactical strategy title which boasts role-playing elements.

You command your troops either by using the Wii Remote like a NES controller, or by using the Classic Controller. I personally prefer the Wii Remote, but you may feel differently.

At Gamestation stores you can currently get this title for £19.98.

It’s easy to criticise Nintendo’s treatment of the Wii - not anticipating the huge demand and failing to provide many top-notch games are very stupid moves indeed. However, they have succeeded in giving gamers (old and young, new and experienced) an exciting new way to play.

If you’re in the market for one, you probably can’t do better than the deal currently running instore at Toys R Us.

For £169.99 you not only get the console (which comes with Wii Sports, a Wii Remote and a Wii Nunchuk), but a copy of Super Fruitfall as well.

One of the greatest ideas for a game in recent years has to have been Guitar Hero - OK it’s nothing like playing a real guitar, but it makes you feel like you are. Sort of.

Guitar Hero III is the latest in the series, and the very first to appear on the PlayStation 3 and Wii. With some great tunes to play along to, it may very well be the best of the bunch as well.

Amazon have the various different console versions available for good prices - click here to get the PS2 release for £29.97, or click here for the Wii version (which is £39.97). The PS3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) releases are slightly more expensive, coming in at £44.97 each.

If you like racing games like Extreme-G, F-Zero or Wipeout then you may very well enjoy Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity as well - it’s basically the same idea (speed, massive speed) but with Sonic characters to choose from.

With over 60 different vehicles to control, and three exciting multiplayer modes (no online though, for shame), you’ll get loads of play out of this title.

Click here to buy this Wii game for £10.99 from ShopTo.

PlayStation 2 owners may be interested to learn that they can get this for a whole lot less (£4.99 to be exact) as part of the supposedly-finished sale at Game.
