Most Helpful Favorable Review

I was asked by my 3 boys for the Nintendo Wii around Christmas time. I thought great another video game system for them to sit in-front of. I was not thrilled, because I did not know anything about it, just heard video game. I did some research on-line and saw that this game might get them up and moving....

This is a great thing from Nintendo because you can play indoors with it when it is raining. The only thing is that it might be hard for some people to stay "in bounds" with the wireless connection. For example, some people might have a hard time keeping their controls at the sensor bar during...

Great for kids!

This is a great gaming console for families - kids love it!  To incorporate the moving action of the remote with the game was very innovative.  I originally just bought the Wii for the new Mario game that came out - and I have had no regrets so far.  Whenever my nieces and nephews come over that is the first thing they want to do - and since I am a Mario fan I play right with them.

We have the Nintendo Wii Console and love it.  We use it at least once a day. The best thing is that everyone can play.  It is even easy enough for my 4 year old daughter to play. She loves it. With the wii everything is simple to use. I highly recommend this to children and families of all ages .

amazing console

I love the nintendo wii. It is an extremely interactive game system. It has tons of options for workout games that making working out more fun. I think the price is quite reasonable for what you are getting in a game system. This is great for entertaining as people of all ages usually enjoy playing with it. also because it allows for 4 players you can have more people playing at one time. The games are fun and make game time more enjoyable.  I would recommend this system to everyone I know.

Family Fun for All

The Wii is the best game console that I have ever purchased. It has brought my family together. We play bowling together, movie trivia games, and Super Mario Cart. We love being together, and this console has added some excitement and flavor to our usual family nights. The games are reasonably priced, and the variety of the games ensures that there is something for everyone. The Wii is sure to be loved by all ages. Even my grandma loves the Wii!!

We couldn't be happier with this system. I love the fact you have to get up off the couch to play a lot of these games. My 3 year old even gets in on the fun. It is relatively easy to get the hang of and the Wii sports game itself (which comes with the system) is a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested. Worth the money!

We finally broke down and bought a Wii this year - and I wish we had done so sooner.  The Kids love it! and so do my husband and I.  We all have our favorite games and it is something the whole family can enjoy.  If you are thinking about buying one - do it - you won't regret it.  It is really fun.

Finally bought a Wii as a Christmas present to the kids, but the adults are LOVING it! The whole family has fun with it and we play together. Everyone from my 82 year old mom down to my 5 year old niece and all ages in between. We've had it on for two family gatherings since Christmas and everyone ends up playing. We bought the "circus games", lots of fun for everyone. I'm the ski-ball champ!

We love our Wii

Family Fun!

We were pretty hesitant about buying this game system, as I am a stickler for limiting my kid's TV time.  The Nintendo Wii is a blast!  We have so much fun playing together as a family, which is a nice surprise.  I love that you have to be a little bit active while playing, and we each root the other on to do well during each turn.

I do have a hard time keeping the remote super steady, and it is a little difficult for my 4 year old to control, as well.  But, those are really the only negatives.

Highly recommend this system for a fun, indoor activity for the family!

We purchased our Wii about 8 months ago and I have to say it was the best investment we've made in a long long time. Our kids love it and so do we. It is a great way to spend family time together. My kids no longer mope around saying, "I'm bored." They always have something to do on Wii and they love it. We live in the Seattle area and our winters are pretty dreary and wet, this is a great way to get my kids, my husband, and myself to stay active during the winter months. I also love the laughter that now fills my family room.

My niece was recently diagnosed with leukemia, with this illness a person's...

My kids love their Wii.

I purchased a Nintendo Wii for my kids last Christmas. They love it. I admit I do too. It is easy to use. Even my parents play sometimes.  There are a variety of games to choose from and it is really easy to use.  The gaming system is really compact and not bulky so you can literally put it anywhere. If you are considering purchasing a gaming system, I recommend a Wii, it is very interactive and fun.

Nintendo has done it again

Nintendo, in my opinion, just keeps getting better and better. In my opinion, this is the game to turn to if you have younger children and you're looking for family things that you can do together. The controls should have been somewhat more sensitive for some games in my opinion, but otherwise it's pretty great, and versatile. Have fun, workout, challenge your brain.

I got this Wii for my birthday and have had so much fun with it.  The Sports game that comes along with the purchase is so much fun!  We bring it along on family vacations to use when there's downtime.  It's good wholesome fun.  Graphics are amazing, easy to set-up and use.  Would highly recommend buying rechargeable batteries for the Remotes.  And would be nice if it came with a carrying case.
