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: So far EVERYTHING! Especially it has really brought our family together for good bonding time.
What's not so great: We just don't have the time to play all that we want to!

"We have only had the Wii since Christmas so I can't say for sure that the durability is excellent but for everything else so far...Awesome! We as a family used to be in 3 or 4 different rooms doing our own thing but now we are all together playing together. It really is great. The only down side is that we have it hooked in our living room on the big screen and so when the kids are playing the Wii we have to go into another room and watch a much smaller TV when we don't want to "fight the Ninja's". So we will either move it or gee...get another one!"

What's not so great: Nothing so far

"I bought it for my kids (6 and 4) and we are having a lot of fun playing it together. The included game, Wii Sports is cool but limited. However, it is easy to play and even my 4 year old can play and have fun. The remote is very sensitive and simulates well a real life golf club, for example."

What's great about it: It's a Wii; what's not to like?
What's not so great: you can't order Netflicks... OH WAIT! Now we can! Hoo-HA!

"Gifting and need to save time? Ordering online from Best Buy assures that you have one waiting at your local store. I picked up a game and then monitored availability of the Wii unit online and ordered it. 10 minutes, bam, no problem.

Get the Best Buy Gamers Points! Even when I gifted this, i took the points for myself. They add up for store credits just like their Zone card.

What's great about it: You can have more than 2 players using it at the same time
What's not so great: Do not have any comments on this at the moment. So far so good.

"Got this for my younger sisters & they love it! They can play for hours without much bickering over turns and they LOVE the fact that they can move around to play, especially the sports game that came with the system. So far we have not had any problems with it at all."

What's great about it: nice toy for kids young and old. setup was easy. be prepared to play for hours!!
What's not so great: wish i had a couple more wii consoles.

"wii is a good gaming console. recommended for kids and adults alike. while not a system for hard core gamers even they will have a blast playing the fun but yet competetive games available. The game system is as easy to setup and use as any dvd player.
I recommend getting the upgraded sensor bar as the stock one is not quite as good however is adequate for use. The upgraded sensor bar is also wireless and can be placed where convenient.

Wii   01/14/2010
By mshoe from Chicago

What's great about it: very compact and a lot of fun!!
What's not so great: only comes with one nunchuk and remote

"Very appropriate and fun entertainment for the whole family, especially if you have younger children. While Wii has some great new games to offer, it's great to see classics like Mario Brothers!"

What's great about it: I ordered it for my son and his wife and could send it straight to CA.
What's not so great: Does it have to be so expensive?

"I really liked ordering the Wii on line. It was quick. easy, and made Christmas more enjoyable for my son on the other side of the world, lol. The Wii has programs that keep people active even at play, which is great exercise for any age."

"We got our 5 and 7 year old the Wii for Christmas. They have enjoyed it so very much, especially since they can play when it is bitter cold outside and still get all their energy out. Our whole family of 4 can play at one time with Wii Sports. We have really enjoyed this system, even more then the Xbox 360 we have!"

Was concerned about the graphics and they are just fine. Especially good with the PES2010 soccer game.
We have Wii sports and play and play and play.
We also bought PES 2010 soccer for Wii and it is great too!
