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.

Ok System Good For the Young and Old   07/17/2008
By james1100 from hartland, wisconsin

What's great about it: Fun.. Wii sports.. Cheap
What's not so great: Gets boring and horrible graphics

"The Wii is a pretty good system if you are a casual gamer or really young or old... but if you are in to shooting games and graphics and such than go with the xbox 360 or PS3... otherwise this is a great system and is a great concept."

Greatest System Ever!   07/17/2008
By MrPickles

What's great about it: Keeps you active!
What's not so great: The only con I can think of is that it has a lot of wires, but they do now have a wireless sensor bar, which helps.

"The Wii is great! One of the most fun systems! I highly reccomend it to anyone. This is a video game that still keeps you active ulike other video games."

Sweet   07/17/2008
By BUbbybob from Michigan

What's great about it: The Concept of the System
What's not so great: Not enough Co-Op games

"It is an amazing system. Anyone who has it must buy Mario Strikers Charged. Also, as stated in the pros section the games are great since you have to move the controllers to actually make the actions."

Fun system for all ages   07/16/2008
By Magic8ball

What's great about it: young children can play with older siblings and parrents
What's not so great: The internet is slow and cant very well pick up wireless signals. No wired connection

"overall the system is very fun with many things other than the games. DONT BE FOOLED ABOUT MEMORY CARDS!!! chances are you wont need extra memory unless you download stuff and even so almost all regular sd cards will work. Consider this you can get a 2gb sd card made by nintendo for $50 or a 4gb sd card for 25. (on sale look for these deals they come around almost all the time)"

Super fun for a bit   07/16/2008
By MNGOLFER from MN

What's great about it: Fun and interactive for all ages
What's not so great: Games not the best and The graphics are just not what they should be

"The Wii is a really fun system where you get to control your curser and play games by moving to controller and aiming it, which makes it fun. Also the Wii is super fun to play with friends and groups of people. However its not exactly to best game for individuals. Not at all. Its actually sort of boring because there are few games for the Wii that are fun to play just as a individual. But on the other hand it is the best system to play when you are with a large group of people because of games like Wii sports and Mario Party which none of the other system could have. But though the Wii has some good games many of the games just arent in comparisson to the exact same game as the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Such as madden and other sports games and also any of the shooter games like Call fo Duty. The Wii is grreat for all ages though. So if your looking for something that you can play with groups of people of any age the Wii is right for you. But if your looking for a game system that you want to play by yourself and enjoy i wouldnt recommend this to yoy."

Lots of Fun   07/14/2008
By Eagles20sr from Gainesville, FL

What's great about it: It's Innovative; Gets you off the couch!
What's not so great: Graphics are nothing compared to Playstation 3 or Xbox 360; All games are based around Kids

"I have to say this was a surprise to me. Since buying this system have had so much fun with the ability to actually play the game compared to sitting down and just pressing buttons. Some games do seem a little weird with the controls. But for the most part its fine.

It's best when you play with other people. I think there could be a better selection of games. I like Mario as much as the next person but when you grow up you would like to play some other titles. I know this system was meant for the kids but to really be considered a great system don't you have to appeal to everyone? I at least think so. With that said I would tell anyone if they can actually find this system they should get it!!!

This made a "Gamer" out of me!   07/14/2008
By ShoeGal from Arizona

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Nothing!

""I have never been a "Gamer". I have no time or use for sitting in front of my TV shooting aliens. Plus trying to remember what button to push to drop bombs and which one fire the missles was not fun. However, the Wii has made a gamer out of me! This is so easy to use and so, so fun! Even if you have no children, buy this! There are so many things to do, it truly is a game for all ages! One suggestion, I rent all the games I'm interested in purchasing. This has saved me from owing a bunch of games that weren't quite as fun as they sounded. However, the Wii is fabulous!""

More bang for your buck   07/13/2008
By bluryisaac

What's great about it: Play wii games and gamecube games. There is so much you can do with this system. Also goes 480p.
What's not so great: Nothing, it just keeps getting better and better.

"When my parents pulled out the wii i was thrilled. I knew that all my friends were going to be talking about it. I have many games now and I can't get sick of them especially Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
I believe this system is up there with the newest and coolest gaming systems out there today. The Wii has many accessories such as classic gamecube controller, guitar, steering wheel, gun connection, and so much more.

WII FUN   07/13/2008
By Jupiter from MD

What's great about it: Diffrent then other machines gets you active while having fun.
What's not so great: Expensive to get all accessories.

"This machine is fun for the whole family from the sports that comes with it to accessories you can purchase like the wii fit. Love playing it with my nieces and nephews. I own a PS3 and find that we play the WII more. You can download some other games write off the internet with WII credits. It's hard to find but well worth the trouble. Would recommend this machine to anyone at any age."

Cool system   07/12/2008
By squishyhobo

What's great about it: Keeps you active
What's not so great: Not active enough

"Many people say that this is a great system because it keeps kids active. Sure, it takes more than thumb action but not much more. The workout recieved from a WII is nothing close to a workout recieved doing the real thing. Plus, many motions can be cheated and done while sitting on the couch. Like hitting a base ball with the flick of a wrist instead of a full swing."

The Wii Is Worth It!   07/11/2008
By Venazard

What's great about it: Backward Play Of GCN Games, Virtual Console Downloads, Wi-Fi Enabled, Surf the Internet.
What's not so great: No DVD Player Support Yet.

"The Wii is the best system I've bought in a very long time I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't care about Nex-Gen graphics only. Games are awsome, my favorites include Pokemon Battle Revoultion, Smash Bros Brawl & Mario Kart Wii. Plus I love the variety of VC games they have to download including Mario 64, DKC 1, 2, & 3 All the Mario Games & Sonic. My only regret is I gave my Wii to my younger bro, so my mom would buy me a PS3."
