General help
The MGC Chatbox Evo is really easy to use
You can :
You can :
- Send chats : you just have to enter the text in the dedicated input field and then to validate it by pushing the return key ou by clicking on the OK button.
- Format the chats : once you un-collapse the chatbox formatting toolbar by clicking on the BBCode button, you have access to different formatting options for your chats. You can format a chat by selecting a part (or the totality) of it and then select one of the buttons/list. You can also add empty formatting tags by selecting nothing and clicking one of the buttons/menu thus allowing you to add the chat text afterwards between these tags.*
- Access to the different channels : you can have access to different channels restricted to only some usergroupds or for specifics use of the chatbox. The different channels are accessible from the buttons on the left of the chatbox.*
- Edit your chats (or others chats) : the edition of a chat can be done by a simple double-click on it.*
- Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*

No real RPG's for the Wii as of yet. If you like Smash I suggest Mario Kart.

Mario cart is cool, the sports bundle will keep you occupied for a while by itself.
You could always try Zelda.

Metroid was a good FPS type game. There are a few 'sleeper' games out there that are fun too.

A Tank Named Grizzly Champion!
There are a few games that are great, but it's hard to sort through the other 195 games that kind of suck.
Some must haves:
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga
some that are probably really good, but I haven't played them:
mario cart
metroid
Some others to think about:
Iron man (I'm going to rent this one over the weekend to see if it's worth purchasing)
Upcoming SpiderMan:Web of Shadows
Others I've enjoyed playing:
Trama Center: Second Opinion
Dance Dance Revolution

ok... These are the ones I have
No More Heroes~ Violent sword/lightsaber type game. A lot of cursing and blood. Basis is you are trying to become the #1 assassin.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles~ Rail shooter. Very good game IMO. It puts you through events of the first RE games.
Endless Ocean~ Dont waste your time or money... just had to have a bad one
Ghost Squad~ Arcade shooter. Kinda like Virtua Cop. You have three missions to play but as you beat them more paths are opened in each mission. Cheap game and I still give it a go round every now and then.
Mario Galaxy~ What can I say... it is Mario. Very fun and a trip. Gameplay is great.
Along with Kart, Metroid and SSBB... but we went over those already

Ya, the Game Stop guy strongly suggested the GC controller too. I figure 4 of those plus the Smash Bros game should be a damn fine starter kit for now.

Wii Play is fun for a short time. the shooting game, battle tanks, and pool are great for some quick play time.
looks like you got a good price, that's almost the same amount you'd pay retail for those items.
