Nintendo Wii

Model number: ABC | SKU: 8008559

Designed for kids ages five to 95, the revolutionary Nintendo Wii isn't just a next-generation system — it's an all-generation system. The innovative minds at Nintendo discovered that the evolution of gaming has made video games very complex, and those who once enjoyed playing games with their entire families have become alienated. The Wii is pronounced "we" for a reason — it symbolizes Nintendo's driving philosophy: this system is for everyone. Whether you're a hardcore gamer, a casual player or a grandparent who'd like to play a game with your grandchild, the Wii will provide you with a wondrous experience that returns gaming to simpler times while also defining a new age of game development. In addition to amazingly realistic next-generation graphics and a variety of outstanding titles to choose from, the true magic of the Wii starts right in the palm of your hand — the controller. The unique Wii Remote controller is wireless and motion-sensitive, allowing you to use everyday motions to simulate the motions in your game. The Nunchuk controller attaches to the Wii Remote and uses an analog stick along with motion-sensing technology to assist in character movement. Imagine yourself in the thrilling world of Wii Sports, the awesome, action-packed sports game included with your Wii console. Using your Wii Remote controller, you'll chase down powerful tennis serves, add touch to your golf swing to avoid tricky sand traps, overpower speeding fastballs to knock them out of the baseball park and more. The Wii Channel Menu, which is the first screen that will appear on your TV, provides a simple user interface that includes the Video Console Channel, News Channel, Forecast Channel, Photo Channel, Internet Channel, Wii Message Board and the Wii Shop Channel. Using the Mii Channel, you can even create playable caricatures of yourself called Miis that you can use in a variety of Wii applications. With an innovative motion-sensitive controller and the Wii Channel Menu, the Wii will truly make you feel less like just a player and more like you're really part of the game.

What's great about it: Very easy to use and great fun for the entire family.
What's not so great: Nothing worth mentioning.

"It took us forever to finally invest in a Wii, but it was well worth the wait. We didn't realize how much we had been missing. It's fun for the entire family. My 4-year old has as much fun bowling on Wii Sports, as we do AND SOMETIMES SHE WINS! It's worth the money, and now that it retails for $199, it's an especially good deal."

I love the games that come with the system, but I also bought the Wii Fit Plus and My Fitness Coach. The variety of activities makes it fun to work out...I now work out at least 5 times a week!

What's great about it: I love moving with the game. You excercise and don't know it
What's not so great: battery life...get a charger

"I am over 50 and never thought I would enjoy video games. Now, I think everyone older should have a Wii. I got Wii fit plus and biggest loser, and Wii sports resort. Love them all. You can move and it knows if you aren't doing your part! The games are easy to learn and very addictive.
The batteries in the Wii remote don't last very long so a charger is needed. The batteries on the balance board are still working after using the board for three weeks, every day."

What's great about it: It has the most exclusives of the three systems
What's not so great: Nothing

"I bought this system a day after playing my SNES and decided it is time for a Wii. The day I purchased this system I got RE4 Wii Edition, a 2000pt card, and a classic controller. The Wii has impressed me for the past 3wks I've had it and is still my current favorite system so far. I must say I was a bit sceptical of the wii remote and toggle connection at first untill I played RE4 with it. I now have three Wii games and 7 Virtual Console games, but soon will have 4 Wii games, but another plus is the internet Channel on the Wii. So The last Nintendo console I had before this was a N64, but now I have the ultimate Nintendo Entertainment System."

"I bought the console with the Wii FIT, so far it is lots of fun. It was easy to set up and the price was really good. The graphics are on the childish side, don't quite get this why Nintendo didn't have more advanced graphics in this day and time. Overall good product for the price."

What's great about it: playing mario kart and getting a good excercise,experience
What's not so great: certain games, but system is fine.

"at first i didn't like the wii. i got it cause of mario kart. i love mario kart racing and the wheel adds an obvious feel to it. it comes with five games which is more than i can say about the ps3 and its overpricing. free online gaming access is great! i can't wait to see what wii fit 2 is like! i wish we could get a better version of air hockey for the system."

What's great about it: Multi-player, work-out
What's not so great: Expensive accessories, DVD media?!? SD cards would have been more techy.

"WOW...now this is fun stuff. Got together with the neighbors and had them sync up their two controllers and we went at it with bowling, boxing, super smash brothers, and 4 person mario kart....AWESOME. I would love to invest in some of the accessories, but they are a bit on the expensive side, but that is to be expected with such a cheaply priced system. I really want to try the Star Wars games with lightsabers...

The motions on this system are really accurate, and yes like some people mention you can just wiggle the controller to get ti to do the same thing. BUT to experience the game fully you have to get involved. Bowling is really like bowling in an ally.....BUT you can also just toss the remote around lazily and do the same thing...lazy people geez.

Media is CD/DVD quality so careful with the discs...you think being 2009 that game makers could put games on memory sticks that wont scratch as easily, but maybe that is just the geek in me coming out.

Background: I am an extreme computer gamer so have a nice PC and 3D graphic games (Aion, Warhammer, AoC, EQ, Quake, Halo, Crysis, etc etc etc) and though this does compare close to those graphics, the game play is just more addicting in a different aspect. PC games are fun to play over the internet, the Wii in order to have the most fun is to be played in groups, more the merrier. So if you are planning to play this alone...get something else, unless you are using for exercise purposes only.

Overall though, this has to be the best gaming console since the original Nintendo system with the cartridges."
