It's true that Nintendo decided to say "haha, **** you" to serious gamers, we can't really tell you if you should get it. Do your own research, 'cause I don't know or care what you like, and if you take advice from people like me you're going to end up in some awful positions.
I'd say its worth it, especially if you're not the type of person to spend a load of money. And yea, there are are a lot bad games. But hey, its designed for more casual audience.
If you don't usually play much (casual gamer) get the Wii. It has some good games that are actually enjoyable and will never end. It's pretty cheap too.
If you play all day (extreme gamer) get a ps3. The wii graphics will kill you. Good graphics and pretty decent games. If your willing to spend alot, get it.
On a side note. You play the Wii on pretty much any TV. But playing w/o HDTV for 360 or PS3 is sometimes painful (Square-enix, plz stop making your text so damn small).
dont listen to all these guys look at this list and then decide of you want the wii i say if you want one buy it id buy one just for monster hunter 3

Genre: Action-Adventure
Developer: Climax Studios
Publisher: Codemasters
Release Date: June 23, 2009
Set in a time before the original game, players take the role of a new young Overlord. As he revels in command of the Minions, our trainee tyrant will be able to take his growing pains out on the local fairy tale inhabitants as he protects his castle and lands. Connecting players to the game world in three dimensions, the use of the Wii Remote gives unprecedented control over the minions. For example, individual Minions can be plucked from the horde, held by the neck and then, by vigorously shaking the Wii Remote, throttled to imbue him with some Overlordly power and turn him into a manic minion missile. With a now-explosive body, the insane little critter can be guided into enemies with hilarious, if rather fatal, consequences.

Genre: First-Person Shooter
Developer: High Voltage Software
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: June 23, 2009
The Conduit is a futuristic first-person shooter game under development by High Voltage Software for the Nintendo Wii. On October 29, 2008 the developer announced that Sega had signed on to be the game's official publisher. The developer has confirmed that the game is set to be released in North America sometime in March 2009. The game makes use of the Quantum3 engine, a game engine designed by High Voltage Software specifically for the Wii. The engine allows effects such as bump mapping, reflection and refraction, and gloss and detail mapping to be implemented in the game. The storyline focuses on an alien invasion of Washington, D.C. in the near future. The alien race uses the eponymous Conduits, which are portal-like devices, to deploy their forces throughout the city. An organization called The Trust sends Mr. Ford, a newly inducted agent, into the area to discover the reasons for the attack. The online multiplayer feature of the game includes several game modes such as 16 Player Deathmatch and will have voice chat capability through the Wii Speak peripheral.

Release Date: September 8, 2009
Based on ancient Japanese lore, Murumasa: The Demon Blade plunges players into the mystical Genroku era, ruled by the skilled shogun Tsunayoshi Tokogawa. But this culture is threatened; Tokogawa's thirst for power leads to a conflict over the enormously powerful, though cursed, Demon Blades. Used in hatred, drenched in blood, the cursed blades condemn those who use them to tragedy, madness, and untimely deaths. As chaos spreads, denizens from the netherworld breach their realm as these malevolent swords summon evil spirits - and the Dragon and Demon Gods as well. Featuring hand-drawn 2D art reflecting the heritage and tone of the storyline, Muramasa: The Demon Blade transports players into a little known mythology, envisioned by the creators of the critically acclaimed Odin Sphere. Players take on the role of a male ninja or female kunoichi, utilizing their ninja prowess to traverse the clever side-scrolling levels that feature vertical progression as well as the traditional horizontal stage advancement.

A brand new version of Wii Sports that offers gamers a day at the beach. This sequel to the popular Wii Sports makes use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which gives players the most responsive and realistic experience possible. The Wii MotionPlus accessory, which is included with Wii Sports Resort, plugs into the base of the Wii Remote controller and, combined with the accelerometer and sensor bar, provides an experience that gives players an even greater sense of immersion. Just as with Wii Sports, people will love competing against friends and family. As the competition heats up, Wii Sports Resort is as much fun to watch as it is to play. First-time players will find it easy to pick up a Wii Remote and jump into the action. Wii Sports Resort takes place on a tropical island. A wide range of activities will keep players coming back for one more round. Some sample activities include Sword Play, Power Cruising (racing a water scooter) and Disc Dog, which involves accurately tossing a disc to a cute, Mii-like dog.
