So Cooooooool!!!!!!!

The Wii is so cool. The graphics is nice. My mom was never a gamer and she used to get aggravated with me playing games that only used my fingers. That all changed when she got me the Wii. Now she begs me to play it with her all the time. It comes with the Wii Sports and that's all she wants to play.... read full review »

Love the wii

The wii is truly a family video game system. My whole family (me, my husband, and my six year old son) all love to play the game. The wii is the one game system that I don't mind my son playing because it encourages him to get up and move and a lot of the games on there require him to use his critical thinking skills. The wii is a great system.

The Nintendo Wii rocks!

I love the Nintendo Wii.  I'm not what one would call a serious gamer....I'm lucky to be holding the controller the right way.  The wii is user friendly, though, and makes gaming fun.   Plus, I feel like I"m burning calories while I play.  Mario Brothers and the Wii sports are the best games.  You can find games for the whole family.  This is a great investment!

I love the Wii gaming system. My family has not had any system before and I love that my 4 year old can manage the controls. It is a ton of fun playing the resort sports games. The system itself is smaller than I expected, which allows for it to be placed just about anywhere. I also was impressed that the sensor was so easy to install. The directions are good. The extras are great also. I love viewing all of my photos on our big TV using the camera card. I haven't been on line yet, but that is my next effort!

Great system.

My husband wanted one of these so much so we saved up so he could get one.  I love it.  Unlike a lot of gaming systems, it is easy to use and I have as much fun as my husband.  It is a great family system.

There are a lot of games.  We love everything Mario and we love the game show games.  I am always impressed by the variety of games available.  I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a fun, easy to use gaming system.

We love the wii! Its a great game system that not only entertains but also keeps you active and engaged. We love the fact that we are often up and moving with the games we play and interacting as a family vs a single player game options. The sports and fitness games are also fun and good for our overall health.  Great product!

Love our Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii is an excellent gaming system for the entire family.  The Wii provides an alternative to the traditional video game experience. 

I enjoy being able to play video games with my entire family on this console.  I've seen men, women and children all have a good time on the Wii which is what I love about it.

The kids love this

We bought our kids the nintendo wii for Christmas and they love it. I love it because they can get up and move during times where they are stuck in the house. Great product!

My family had the Xbox 360 for several years before purchasing the Wii. While the Xbox 360 does have outstanding graphics; the Wii is just amazing. With the Wii you are getting plenty of exercise while still having lots of fun. Every game with the Wii requires movement and we have not yet played a Wii game that was not extremely fun. We purchased the Wii Fit Plus and this is a must have for everyone. It is so much fun and you are still getting a very good workout. The Wii has games that are fun for all ages and skill type. I have not have any problems with the console itself; like freezing or getting...

Family Fun!

My husband and I got a Wii for Christmas a few years ago. It's been a big hit ever since. While I was pregnant with our daughter, I enjoyed being able to use Wii Sports, then when my son discovered Star Wars, we bought Star Wars Lego. We've had quite a few family evenings of gathering together and playing against each other at Mario Cart. There is a game for everyone and every situation out there! Guitar Hero is a blast when you have company. Especially if they're already musicians like our pals. :)

The Wii is easy to use, great for playing a game by yourself, but it's best when shared with family...

The nintendo Wii seemed like a great product when it first came out and perhaps it was. The motion controls seemed like a revolution in gaming and it was a big hit for parties of people. However the novelty of this system has since worn off. While it still be mildly entertaining, it's not a system for a hardcore gaming enthusiast. Nintendo has been dropping the ball lately with its production of decent Wii games and the motion controls in most games are more aggravating than they are fun. Combined with poor support for their system addons (Wii Motion Plus), this system just isn't making it anymore....

Everyone can understand how to play, and everyone has fun playing... My father, who hates video games as a way of spending time and money thinks that the wii is great, and was like a little boy playing it.. (he's 55). My mother even tried it out and enjoyed it. The wii, when used as its intended with you getting up and swinging the remote will give you a nice bit of exercise. in wii sports, (comes with the system), boxing tennis bowling and the various training and fitness tests that go along with the games can have you working up a sweat. zelda is great too, for the serious gamer. $250 is well...

I bought a Wii when I first came out, and I'm very happy with my purchase.

I consider myself a casual gamer, about twice a year I'll pick up a game and play the heck out of it, and then put the Wii aside.

I couldn't justify spending the money for an X-Box or PS3, but I feel fine with the Wii, since it's so cheap. 

The only con I have for the Wii, is that its not too good for first person shooters.  The control's always seem to be 'point at the screen to target', which bugs me to no end.  I've given up trying to play that type of game, so bear that in mind.

I had the original Nintendo when I was small and my how things have changed. We bought a Wii when it first came out and it is SO much fun. We have three kids who also love it. There are games for every age level, my three year old even plays and has so much fun. I love that it gets you up and actually makes you get physical rather than just sitting in your chair to play. You do have to be careful with the controllers. Yes we have hit the TV with them, even when they were attached to our wrist. My son loves the bowling game and runs up a bit to close to the TV when he throws the ball and has smacked...

Nintendo Wii Console

My husband and I have owned our Wii for over 3 years now and have never had any problems! The console has yet to give us any trouble and the Wii remotes are still very sensitive. For a family, I believe the Wii is the best choice. The games are so interactive and much more fun than games available on other consoles. We use our Wii to play classic games like Super Mario, work on our fitness using My Fitness Coach, and boost our thinking power with games like Boom Blox.
