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: Interactive, Physical and Fun
What's not so great: Accesories will nickle and dime you to death

"No, the graphics are not as good as the PS3 or Xbox 360 they are more in line with a PS2. That being said this is a game that an entire family can enjoy for hours. The Wii Sports game included with the console is enough to entertain people of any age for hours. This thing is perfect for game nights, light workouts, parties, entertaining guest or just to get off the sofa on an evening at home!
I highly recommend getting a second remote with nunchuck but you can have a lot of fun right out of the box without one.
Set up was easy, creating Mii's is fun, I cannot say a bad thing about this unit.
I have read reviews that the controller was difficult to use but have had no issues. It is a little touchy on finese games, such as golf, but it just takes time to get used to it. Beside, if you master it right away, where is the challenge?
If you are a hard core gamer who needs big time graphics this is not for you, otherwise If you are considering picking up this unit....do it, you won't regret it."

What's not so great: has the most boring games ever u get bored of it really fast

"i hate buying the controller and nun chuck separately. it has the most boring games to play. this is not good for hardcore gamers. the graphics are like play station 2 graphics. I dont like the fact they have avatar figures for most of the games it really cartoon like. It comes with a little bit of memory and there is just nothing fun to play. besides some Mario games"

It is a good system to have if you want to be active and still have fun playing video games. Call of duty world at war is the best game for the wii I think and multiplayer is fun online!"

"The wii is virtually the best gaming system out there.

It plays easily, is fun and is also easy to use.

I was able to put it together and play games within 10 minutes out of the box.

I have not been able to find any flaws with it. The only flaws I've found have had to do with an individual game, not the Wii itself."

What's great about it: Can play with friends
What's not so great: Games are expensive

"This thing is just simply amazing, if your planning on getting a game cube forget about it because this thing can play Wii games and game cube games. Alot of games for the wii is expensive but some are not, some games cost about 25 dollars. Somthing i think that sould be fixed is that the wii can only load data that was saved on the wii not the memory card. it seems like that the wii's memory and the memory card are diffrent (but hay at least we dont have to buy a memory card like most gaming systems)."

What's not so great: games r expensive

"i love the wii its really amazing the games r really fun and its fun 2 play with family and friends. i think the price is great because the graphics arnt terrific. but the price on games are high but i guess thats were they make the money u know? some are reasonable. but if u want really cool games there more expensive but i suppose its worth it in my opinion. the sensor really kinda sucks probably cause my tv's huge so when i put it on top or bellow u have 2 like point down or all the way up LOL so i have a hard time on the big tv so i wind up playing it on another tv. if ur tv is like 5 feet high . have fun haha.."

What's great about it: Good price

"The nintendo wii is an awesome video game system. It is at a reasonable price at $249.99 compared to the xbox 360 and playstation 3. The Wii sports is my favorite to play, especially the bowling. Those games you can play for hours and you actually get a good workout. The only downfall of the system is that it does not have HD graphics like the ps3 and 360. The price makes up for that. The nintendo wii is definitely worth buying for gamers of all ages. Bestbuy even had a deal a couple weeks ago where you buy a nintendo wii and get a $20 giftcard. You can not go wrong with a deal like that."

What's great about it: You can exercise, you can play, and it's great with family and friends!
What's not so great: Remotes have a short battery life, Wii games are expensive

"The Wii remote sensors are simply amazing! It's so easy and fast to set out. You can exercise and have fun at the same time. Whether you're trying ot get in shape, or you just want to entertain yourself with an exciting game... you're sure to love it. There's so many fun Wii games out there! It's a great way to spend some family fun time or play with friends.
What I don't like is how quickly the batteries can run out on the Wii remotes. And sometimes the Wii console light just goes out when everything's already plugged in. It also can be hard to get the Wii sensor bar to catch the Wii remotes' signals. The Wii games are also so expensive. Most of them are more expensive than other gaming system games.
Other than that, I just love this gaming system. I have a feeling that it will be loyal to me for many years. If you have some extra money on you, buy it! If you don't, you better start saving."

What's great about it: Ok, Hmm... Guitar Hero World Tour, only that.
What's not so great: Wii Sports sucks! The games break easily, the console is obsolete, and dull.

"The only good GAME of this console is the Guitar Hero, but for others, the graphics suck, the games are stupid, such as mario, the console is stupid and simple, the technology is old, better buy the Project Natal for Xbox 360 if you wish interactive games,and you can`t play Music or DVDs or any other video and sound devices here, also, its hard to configure it with the controls, and the accesories, worth $2, are sold to you at prizes over $200.00! Accesories you could actually make at home! Also, the console overheats really fast, and yes its small, but for what do i want a small not portable console! And one more thing... ITS NINTENDO!!!! The worst videogame company ever, Microsoft is better."

What's great about it: the motion sensing technology
What's not so great: not internet ready, you must by a lan adapter or usb wireless network adapter to get it online!

"not much more i can say about the nintendo wii that hasn't been mentioned already or that you don't know already. but i must say if your looking for a system for your kid this is definitely the route to go because it is made for the younger generation but anyone will and can have fun on this. i didn't like that you cant just connect to the internet you have to buy a usb wireless network adapter or lan adapter to get it ready for online. the graphics are pretty primitive when you compare it to the xbox 360 and playstation 3 but i guess that gives them room to focus on other things. most editions come with the wii sports which isn't a bad starting game but this game itself is pretty primitive as well when you compare it to xbox 360 which has 2 game of the year titles included in there bundles (halo 3 and fable 2) and ps3 includes 1 game as well..other than all that, for $250.00 it does surpass the other systems as far as price goes"
