So far Soul Calibur IV is amazing. Some of the mechanics feel broken, compared to II being a very solid game and III being a steaming pile of unbalanced nonsense.
I'm in love with the character editor, I just wish they didn't make you put 100+ hours into the game to unlock everything, which is a reoccurring theme in the recent generation of videogames, make you work for a product you already paid for.
Amy's a new favorite, she can be incredibly skilled, and very cheap. They kinda make Mitsurugi less flow-y and more light I remember Nightmare from II, stance oriented. Seems like they hid a lot of his old staple moves behind more complex button combinations.

Regarding Wii ownership
I owned a Wii at launch. Please cease hating me, there's more to the story. My girlfriend at the time worked part time at a Gamestop and was able to pull strings to procure me a Wii on launch day. Ok, now you can hate me. But really, at first I cherished it, and loved it. I played it all day when she came home with it. I bought a 150 dollar metal suitcase for it, bond style, custom cut foam, holds the cords, system, four controllers, and the little infrared dongle that sits on top your TV. I recall owning Trauma Center in addition to spending many hours explaining to countless people how to play Wii Sports.
Some realities for me with the Wii were that no matter how cool Zelda seemed at first, I'm not any more interested in playing the Wii than I am interested in my PC or Xbox360 for playing games lately. Nothing keeps my interest very long, it seems like MMO or bust. I play Halo3, WoW, FFXI, and occasionally Guitar Hero. Anything that lacks long term progress/rewards/visibility, just doesn't seem worthwhile.
Regarding Wii ownership... I still love the little guy, but he's my party toy now. My never feel guilty there's always something to do when there's company over or you throw a party go-to guy. I've got Mario Party, Wario Ware, and Super Smash Bros Melee. SSBM was and is pretty fun, but for some reason I'm not drawn to it like I used to be to new games, no compelling desire to beat or master it.
Wii is kinda like auto insurance, you should really have it, just in case, but, I don't find myself daily saying "Man, I'm glad I have a Wii." However, it's entirely possible I'm just a singularity, in a rut, who needs to get out there and try some new games.
