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.

Great Buy08/06/2008
By fenderbender
What's great about it: Great Games, and gameplay is fantastic What's not so great: graphics
"I bought the Wii system for my father a few months ago and my family loves it. It is the perfect system for families because of the motion gameplay. I also like the wide variety of games that nintendo offers, like Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart for example. The only downside of the Wii is that the graphics aren't as good as the xbox 360 or PS3, but if makes up for it with the motion gameplay and overall price. The Wii is definately cheaper in price and I think it is a great buy if you want a great game system that the whole family can use. The Wii' s controls are also easy to pick up on, which is another plus. Overall Nintendo put out a great system and I havent had any problems with it so far."

Best System Out08/06/2008
By Kevin555
What's great about it: Motion Sensor, Lots of Different Games, Opera Browser What's not so great: No DVD Capabilities
"This system is probably the best of the 3 contenders out right now. It is the only one that has motion sensitivity which makes you feel like part of the game. They have all kinds of games and even old school nintendo and sega games to download straight to your wii."

The Future Generation of Gaming is Here!08/06/2008
By Motherof3from MN
What's great about it: Pure Excitement, Physical engagement, outstanding graphics What's not so great: None
"Finally a game system that engages all ages to simulate limitless activities. Brilliant. As a parent it entertains, decreases frustration/tension caused by other systems in children, and finally a game that parents have a chance of winning! If the Jetsons had a game system, this would be the one. Simply Brilliant."

What's great about it: Very interactive.
"This pretty simple gadget really knocks me off. The first time I played with it, I said, I'm going to buy one. Then, I got one now and it's really fun playing with friends and family on the Wii. Just playing a boxing game on it makes myself all worked out. Really great..."

FANTASTIC SYSTEM08/05/2008
By masterskate66from Washington DC
What's great about it: great for people of all ages, very interactive and fun at the same time, low cost What's not so great: not the best grapics
"this system is a great pick if you are any age and you want to have fun. This sysem, unlike most lets you interact like you are in the game. If you are into mostly shooter games with high graphics and that is all you play then this probably isnt the kind of system you want to buy. But if you want to enjoy yourself and have fun, then this is most definetly the system for you."

Great Buy!08/05/2008
By KatJ
"The Wii system is great for all of the ages. The graphics are incredible. Wii sports, one of the world's greatest games, is included with the wii console. I know sometimes you can't imagine one of your grandparents holding a wii remote and chasing down extremely powerful serves, but I have witnessed this myself. Tennis is just the beginning with Wii sports. You can also play golf, boxing, baseball and bowling. The main wii channel menu, which is the first screen you are taken to once you turn on your wii, includes the disk channel, forecast channel, photo channel, wii message board, mii channel and the wii shop channel. When ever you enter a disk it will appear on the disk channel, which takes you directly to the game. The forecast channel shows you the daily weather in your area. The photo channel always you to upload your photos to wii system. You can play a slide show of all of your photos and you can even scribble on your photos. There is a slot located on the top of your wii system where you can enter a memory card from your digital camera. The message board keeps track of how much time you are spending on the wii. The mii channel always you to create your on mii's and the wii shop channel always you to buy games right from wii. When you buy a game from the wii shop channel the game will it's own channel. The wii is really an outstanding piece of technology!"

Greatest gaming invention ever08/04/2008
By Mag03from MN
What's great about it: Makes you get up and move What's not so great: I don't get as much done at home anymore
"It's a great game, making kids and adults alike get up and move around. I wish all of the games required you to move your body, but there are endless choices of games that you have to be physically active while playing the game."

What's great about it: Great games, downloadable content, motion censored, everything!!!!! What's not so great: Nothin
"This is by far the best system! I heard about the PS3 because of the graphics and everything but instead I bought the wii. It has amazing games and love the motion censored with the controllers. I play for hours and never get bored I beat the games and keep playing it two or three more times. If your thinking about getting a next generation system get the wii!!!!!"
