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.

THANK YOU BEST BUY! 10/02/2008
By SparklePI from California, MD

What's great about it: Not a sit on your butt game console. And you can download games plus play game cube games. Nintendo was always top dog
What's not so great: Availability! They just cant keep it and accessories in stock but still better than Circuit City.

"The Wii is fun for anyone to play. It does take some getting used to but there is a great disc of games that really teaches you each way to use your remote. The graphics are crisp and bright. Your options for types of games (new and old) are endless. I think this is the best purchase Ive made in a long time!!"

Highly recommended purchase 10/01/2008
By zimster from Minneapolis, MN

What's great about it: Interactive, great games for kids
What's not so great: My kids like to play it too much

"After a lot of research, I decided to purchase this for my kids. It has turned out to be one of the best purchases I've made. They play almost daily, and love the 'Wii Fit' game. My 4-yr old even loves doing yoga!! I have several friends with kids who also purchased this unit, and when we have dinner parties, inevitably the adults end up playing the Wii most of the evening. I have never had any hardware issues, setup issues, etc. Even setting up the wireless connection is a breeze. A+ in my book!"

Not Graphics, but Gameplay 10/01/2008
By HDent from New York

What's great about it: Paradigm-Shifting Gameplay
What's not so great: Not the Greatst Graphics, Game Selection

"The Wii is the paradigm-shifting next generation system. Though the graphics may not be the best, and third-party support is limited at best, the gameplay makes up for this tenfold. This is a great system for enjoying games with friends- it has truly brought video games into the social arena."

great gift! 09/30/2008
By aaandh from NY

What's great about it: Not alot of cords, space saving, great game selection, backwards compatable, alot of fun!
What's not so great: rechargable batteries not part of console package

"I have been a fan of Nintendo for a long time. Love the wii because its a different kind of gaming. Your not just sitting there staring at the screen. It definitely takes some getting used to though, but once you do its a whole lot of fun. My favorite game has always been Mario Kart, and the Wii makes it that much more fun.
So glad i was able to get one as they are often not available."
