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: almost all of the games availiable for the Wii console are pretty easy for anyone to play but also is challengeng to pro
What's not so great: still after 3 years there is little online play

"The Wii by Nintendo is an overall great machine. I have owned mine since the day it came out and it is still working great. I also have played quite a few games for the Wii and surprisingly enough even the games that i thought would be dumb were actually kinda good. my only quaff with the Wii is that after 3 years there is still limited online game play."

What's great about it: Great family-oriented gaming system and more.
What's not so great: Nothing really.

"You should know by now that Nintendo makes kid-friendly, family-oriented games and gaming systems. The Wii is simply the best one around for overall fun. Perhaps not for hardcore gamers, but certainly excellent for the casual gamer, families and for kids. Wifi connectivity brings online content such as downloadable games, news, weather, even the internet. Well worth the investment!"

What's great about it: Easy to set up, multiple uses, for all ages

"I bought the Wii for my children and did not regret it. I found that it was not only fun for my kids, but also fun for me and my wife! Whenever my kids' friends come over, they automatically go to the Wii and play a game. What I like about the Wii is that some of the games are for excercise. So I can know that my kids are having fun and are keeping fit. There are many WIi games that are very entertaining for all ages. It's very nice that allows four players to play. The technology for the Wii is amazing. How the Wii remote works is genius! This console is always the center of the party at our house. I recommend it to everyone!"

What's great about it: wirleless controls

"The wii is the ultimate game sytem built for unlimited fun! Perfect for parties, your guest will never get bored there when there's a wii to play with! Totally worth your money plus, purchasing a wii from best buy you get a free wii-sports with it. I got mine theday it came out and I never regret getting it. This so far is the best game system of all time invented by none other than the nintendo company. All of the top games are on the wii, so get it while it's still in stock! Many way you can use the wireless contrals and you never be afraid that the cord is not long enough or trip over it (that happen to me on my PS2). Family time on the wii is like going on vaction and with wii resort coming out it would really make you feel like you on vacation! Recommended for all kids plus adults!"

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Graphics not top notch, but who cares!

"I got the Wii almost as soon as it came out. This product is awesome, it is so interactive and fun. At first I was wishing the graphics would of been a little better, but they aren't bad at all for what your doing. Sure it's not up to par with the graphics but the Wii has something that the other systems don't (well they will soon), but it is the motion control. After awhile I started to get somewhat of a workout I was sweating and my muscles hurt the next day. I enjoy this product very much and hops Nintendo keeps up the good work. And plus I can fit it in my cargo pants/shorts pocket!"

What's great about it: The 3D effects and its so Realistic

"I never had any interest for the games before I played this. Now I am hooked to it after my work hours. The sensing system is awesome.... the games are excellent and realistic, now I can play bowling with out going out and spending money. I hardly played tennis outside, now my interest for tennis has grown am playing it daily at home. I love the feature of mii, it keeps track of your health (stability and strength) and show you the Wii age. I think I am building my stamina by playing and enjoying. Now I am eager to buy the new Wii Sports resort with the new Wii Motion Plus. I would say go buy it now or else missing some fun in your life...."

What's great about it: Interactive, Age Range From 3 - 76
What's not so great: Nothing Whatsoever

"The Wii is the best console ever! I never had much interest in gaming until my sister who is in the Navy brought this home on leave as sort of a family surprise. It is the best gift I have ever been given. My grandma, who is 76, loves to bowl with the included Wii sports game and play Wii Music and my cousin, who is 4, loves to play Mario Kart. Yes Mario Kart! My Mom and Dad have never played a video game until the Wii and now they are hooked. We are always playing it. The controller is very wisely designed. It fits right into your hand. The top 10 games I recommend as of July 7: 1- Wii Fit 2- Mario Kart 3- Mario Party 8 4-Super Mario Galaxy 5- Super Paper Mario 6- Wii Music 7- Mario Super Sluggers 8- Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games 9- Mario Power Tennis 10- Super Smash Bros. Brawl. So if you are thinking about buying the Wii, just do it and let the good times roll, or bowl that is!"
