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: family-friendly, adult-friendly, unique experience
What's not so great: Price, hard to find in stock, pricey accessories

"We got the Wii last November. I don't play video games but I liked the uniqueness of the Wii in that you can jump around and play. It can be used as a form of exercise. Also, you can have multiple players and it can be really fun for the whole family. For example, we got the dance dance revolution, and in no time we had everybody up and doing the moves! (even if you're choreographically challenged). The bad thing is you have to get multiple accessories (controllers) for multiple players and that can get expensive. So be prepared to make an investment with the Wii but offers a nice variety from the other game consoles and is still a novelty."

What's great about it: Compact, easy to set up, easy to play!!
What's not so great: Comes with only 1 controller

"Wow...I loved the Nintendo back in the 80's and have fallen more in love with the Nintendo Wii. I played 1 time on my friends wii and went out the next day and bought my own! The directions are very simple and easy to follow...even for my 4 year old!!! Beware...the sports package is addicting! I found myself up at 2am playing with my teens!! It's great family fun that I would recommend to anyone! My entire family has had a blast creating our own individual characters too! You just can't go wrong with the wii!! Great for brining your family together for good clean family fun!!!!"

What's great about it: Easy to learn and use. Fun for everyone. Wifi.
What's not so great: Controllers don't do so well with larger tv's (73")

"Before I purchased this I was thinking it wasn't going to be very fun, but after turning it on I quickly changed my mind.

My whole family was able to play immediately. The setup was quick and easy. When I bought it I got an extra controller.

The graphics were much better than expected, even when stretched to fit on my 73" 1080P tv. Nintendo did a great job here.

The controllers are fun and easy to use, especially when playing a golf or baseball game! The wifi allows you to connect to the internet and read news or check the weather. You can even easily download more games directly to the console.

The games are much funner to play standing up and you get exercise that way anyways.

The only problem I have found was that when using it with a really large tv (mine is 73") the controllers seem a bit jumpy when pointing. I have tried moving closer and also changing the sensitivity of the sensor bar, but no luck. All of the games are still very playable though, It is just a bit different than using say a 30" tv.

This is a truly great console that can be fun for everyone!"

The graphics are not as good as other systems but the interactivity of the games make up for any faults or short falls. A gaming system the whole family can enjoy."

What's great about it: Great Multiplayer Games Usually

"This system is a great system, especially with the motion sensing idea, which gives platform gamers a totally different experience than the simply using a controller. The multiplayer games for the system tend to be really fun, in most cases, as Nintendo seems to lean more towards light-hearted fun and experiencing it with your friends rather than mature content for solo player (there are exceptions, of course). The performance is excellent, the graphics potential is pretty good as well, and the numerous capabilities within the system itself (like checking the news and weather), not just the games, and the fun-with-friends feel make this system a great buy."

What's great about it: Easy est up, In house titles (Zelda, Mario, etc.)
What's not so great: Lack of 3rd parties, graphics

"I waited in line for 14 hours to get this system. Maybe it was sleep loss or delerium, but when I finally got my hands on zelda, I wasn't disappointed. 2 years later, I'm still waiting for Nintendo to release more quality games like that. The motion controls are amazing, and really everything you could hope for, and the price is great, but they stick it to you buy making you pay individually for all the peripherals, and the titles just aren't coming out as quick."

What's great about it: Lowest cost game console, very easy to use
What's not so great: No DVD player, no HD graphics

"The Wii is a great gaming console for family fun that includes everyone from the youngest to the oldest. Its easy to use and you not only play the games, you actually move with the games. However, if you are a serious gamer the Wii is probably not for you. The graphics are not HD and a big step down from the XBox360 or PS3 on a HD flat screen. The drive does not play DVD's as the XBox360 or PS3 does. But it is the cheapest price of the 3 consoles. If you want good family fun to include everyone, the Wii is for you. If your looking for a more serious gaming experience check out an XBox360 or PS3."

What's great about it: amazing graphics, many things to do even if you don't have games for it, Wi-Fi internet access, good usage of WiiMote
What's not so great: a frail model, dangerous when not wearing wrist strap, very addicting (@_@)

"The Nintendo Wii is an extremely fun product! When I got it, I was appalled at the price, but when I brought it home, I found out it is more than just a gaming console; it does so much more! The Nintendo Wii is a necessity for anyone who loves to have fun and is tired of the roundabout nature of yesterday's video games."
