Favorable Review

I love this game - forces my children to get up & play hard!!

SEP

2008

Our entire family loves our new Wii. I wish the games were a little less expensive but I saved for the console, I can save for the games as well. We do rent them so that we know what we like. I wish I could afford to purchase Rock Bank sounds like great fun. Also, I hope to get Wii Fit soon. I really...

Hardware Improvements Needed, But Good Games!

I would like to say as a Wii and Xbox 360 owner that while 360 has more hardcore games, the Wii has simple fun games. Mario Kart Wii is a blast online, and another great game is Super Smash Brother Brawl. While graphic are weak compared to the 360 and PS3, Wii is a refreshment to the hardcore world....

Family is more Fun with the Wii

NOV

2008

Great family time can be gained with the wii, we as a family of 8 are hardpressed for group activites. We have however found great time together with the Wii, we can all play, we all get involved, even if one can't play we all take turns but the movements and antics keep us all involved and together which is all you can really want out of something like this...fun, fun fun!

Our family received our Wii as a Christmas present and we use it everyday. The games are fun and interactive. My daughter is on the Wii Fit everyday competing with her grandmather. I would recommend a Wii to anyone.

I purchased a Nintendo Wii for my teenage son and it is the best game console he ever had. My husband and I love and enjoy playing games on it with our son. It has great games that are challenging and fun.

The wii game system is incredible. I have a four and three year old girl and boy and they love to play games on this. They can manipulate the controller since you can go through the actual motions ie. golfing to get the player to hit the ball. They are not able to use other controllers with many buttons on them and control the player. I also work at a nursing home and we own one there. People enjoy all the games, like bowling, golf, people of all levels can play on this system. You can sit or stand to play. Playing the games you can take an active roll swinging the bat , club, or... review »

I recently purchased a wii game with wii fit. I am not usually big on video games but this one is great. I played this with one of the kids and loved it so much we purchased one. My fiance said he was not interested( he is normally a couch potato when not at work) The day after we got it I went to work early and my daughter woke to find him playing with the wii and having fun.

This game has made us more active. We have the sports as well as the wii fit and fit board. Another great addition to it is mario cart and mario party.

I began my relationship with the Wii a few days ago. I did not like the idea of a grown women playing with a childs game but played it to please the man who purchased it for me. As I played Tennis and Boxing I noticed that I was completly into the game and was getting a great workout. I woke up the next morning sore and anxious to beat my next competitiors.

The nintendo wii, Sony and Microsoft laughed at nintendo, calling the wii "not even in the same leaugue" as their own consoles. But after the wii sales were revealed, Sony and Microsoft decided to stop laughing.

Leading by a HUGE margin in sales the nintendo wii has been a huge success... but wait. The nintendo wii is a success, but is it good? Unfortunately, the Wii's game library is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. As a hardcore nintendo fan, i hate looking on the shelves at gamestop and realizing that 99% of the games created by 3rd partys are undeniably horrible and are just cash ins because they...

The Nintendo Wii console is great! I love that it comes with some fun games that are multiplayer....because I'll need to be saving up before I buy many more games. The price is worth it though.

Of the games it comes with, the bowling seems to be my family's favorite. It's easy enough that I don't roll gutterballs every time (like I do in real life) but difficult enough to present a challenge to the better bowlers in the family. (I'm usually happy to break 100.) Also: don't miss the training section of the games - there's a cool bowling game there were you have lots and lots of pins... review »

Whats not to love! I actually had a sore arm from 2 games of bowling the day we got it. Any game that can get kids off there duffs and moving around is a winner. Especially when they can't get outside due to weather. I love this system. Just be sure you use the wrist bands or you may end up with holes in bizzare items in your home! Tons of accessories, lots of games. I love the wifi ability. And getting to play friends and family and strangers across the globe. My children love it from the 9 yr old to the 3 yr old. My husband too. I can't wait for more games!

It can be alot of fun to have family or friends over to play the Nintendo Wii. But after they leave the games lose their value. Most games are only worth playing if you have two, three or four people playing with you. There are a few games that you can play with just one person but Nintendo keeps promising more fun games to come out, but it seems the only ones that do are the same games reimagined.

I finally found a wii yesterday! A good many of my friends and family have them, and I have not been able to find them since they have been sold out. I am so happy to finally have it, and be able to get up and move around while playing a video game. It's a great way for kids to stay active, and still play the video games they love so much.

I think that, after the Dreamcast, the Wii is pretty much the best system. It has a multitude of games to play, and even the Wii fit to help you stay (or get) in shape. I don't see how anyone could get bored of this system. If you do get bored, then you didn't get the right game!!!
