Nintendo Wii

Model number: RVLSWC/RVLSWFSP | 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: Interactivity, Fun, Free Wi-Fi
What's not so great: Graphics

"Okay, first off- durability,,,, the W i i is very durable , I have one had it since 2007. And the Wii rarely breaks, you can throw it across the room it can be on for a week and you can leave i t in a 98 degree room and it wont break! although i wouldnt recomenned doing that.. the wii is a very fun system very interactive,, they are down sides however for a good amount of games the grahics SUCK! some games however have good grahics, the wii is very fun! overall buy it im 14 and like it! Im a hardcore gamer and i think this is a good system. . If your looking for a all in one system go PS3 not Xbox360 that thing breaks down so much! PS3's are fun but if your looking for a family room entertainment go Wii. PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS IF YOUR CLIDERN, GRANDCHILDERN ARE 10 AND UNDER AND WANT A WII FOR THEMSELVES BY IT IF THEY ARE 11 UP BUY A PS3 BUT IF YOU ARE GOIND TO SHARE IT AS A FAMILY GO WII AND BUY 4 REMOTES AND NUNCHUCKS AND LIKE 3 GAMES, A SD CARD FOR MEMORY AND THAT WILL MAKE A PERFECT FAMILY GIFT! MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

What's not so great: controllers eat batteries, lack of quality games

"I love My nintendo wii and think that it is the most revolutionary console of all time as they say. Me and my family love it, but if you are a hardcore gamer it doesn't have graphics like the PS3 or XBOX 360, or any quality games beyond Mario, Zelda and Metriod. I love it but it may not please everyone."

What's great about it: Fun, easy to use, exercise, etc.
What's not so great: not many fun games, no online play like XBOX or PS3

"Wii is a great console. i got it 2 years ago and i have not had one problem. It is easy to use, and it comes with wii sports which is one of my favorite games, and a great price. The only flaws that it has is there arent very many fun games. Its basically MARIO KART, MADDEN '10, and a few other sports games that are fun to play.And there is no wii live or something like what XBOX or PS3 has. otherwise it is mainly little kids games and stuff. It has a great price considering it comes ready to play right out of the box. With a comparable XBOX 360 arcade which is also 199$, doesnt come with a game or harddrive or anything but XBOX 360 is a great console too. Overall, the reason the Wii is called Wii because anyone can play it and it is good for all ages."

Excellent   12/10/2009
By paulatc from Waynesville, NC

What's great about it: Game my son asked for and loved
What's not so great: He's too far away for me to play too!

"Excellent service, price, and on-time delivery. Installation was easy, and the games were easy to play. My son would like for Wii to come up with a true golf club device to more accurately play the Tiger Woods Wii game."

What's not so great: Nothing

"I would highly recommend this product, my teenage son didn't think he would like playing it as much as his XBox 360 well he changed his mind after I bought one. If you want something you can do as a family this is the system for you. I love that it gets you up and moving. The first few times we played we were sore the next day from all that moving around. If you are even thinking about this as a Christmas gift go for it, you won't be sorry. We have had our system for over a year now and love playing it just as much today as when we first brought it home. My husband and I teach the youth at our church and even brought this to the youth lock-in, they all loved playing it. I would recommend the new Super Mario game that just came out and Mario Kart just to name a couple."

What's great about it: Great price. Set up so easy my 85 year old father or mother can do. So much fun you'll lose track of time.
What's not so great: I have not found one negative thing to say about the system or games.

"We purchased the Wii as an anniversary gift and I don't know why we waited so long. This is the best game system we have ever purchased. We've had more fun with this system than any other and we've had them all. I recently had shoulder surgery and with this system I get the physical therapy needed."

What's great about it: New AND Classic Nintendo games!!!
What's not so great: Uhmmm... graphics. It's not 1080p HD.

"I bought this a year ago and it has been the best investment not just for my kids but the whole family!!! I have a PS3 but compared to the family fun and the Nintendo games it beats paying nearly $200 more!
I use my PS3 for myself (when gaming) and Blu-Ray and I love it, but we get more use of out of the Wii because it has something for everyone. Just wish I has DVD playback or better yet Blu-Ray...
Oh well!

"I love this game system!! I have only had one time that I had to send it in to the company to get fixed ( and that is only because it got knocked down). I love all of the games and the graphics are great!
I highly recommend this for big familys or even one person, but just remember put the strap on the remote around your wrist if you don't want to buy a new T.V.!! :-)

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."
