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.

Gramma comes over and bowls with the kids, and they love being able to design their own characters to play games on Wii Sports.

Great Purchase   05/02/2008
By bax721

"We have only had the Wii for a couple of days, and we already love it. The sports package is a lot of fun. I'm not a video game person, but I like the Wii because it gets you off of the couch. My husband and I are competitive when it comes to sports, so this has been a fun way for us to compete!"

Great gaming system!   05/02/2008
By Lilricky from Heart of Midwest

What's great about it: Very easy to use, nice menus & colors. Even little kids, like my 5-year old can use. Wi-Fi feature great!
What's not so great: Wish it could be DVD player.

"Wow, Wii. This is such a family-fun system, definitely for young and old alike. So easy to play and tons of fun. Set-up is also pretty easy, takes just a few minutes. Plus, you can actually get a little bit of exercise out of it, depending on length of play. I so do recommend for someone looking for a gaming system for all to play, lots of game options. Guitar Hero is super fun on this. Way to go Nintendo!"

Best Family Value   05/02/2008
By GrampsMI from Lansing, MI

What's great about it: Everyone can play
What's not so great: Graphics lack on higher end games

"The controller design offers unique motion-sensitive gameplay options; it has built-in Wi-Fi for online services and gameplay; The console has major appeal; compatible with all GameCube games and controllers; built-in SD slot for storage and photo viewing; includes Wii Sports game; most affordable home game console. All in the family can enjoy.
It lacks the graphical prowess of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but the Nintendo Wii's combination of unique controllers and emphasis on fun gameplay make the console hard to resist.

Great game for all ages   05/02/2008
By bethechange from Durham, NC

What's great about it: Multiple games appeal to all age groups
What's not so great: Hard to find

"Our family ranges in age 8 to 44 and we all love this game. It is so interactive. We banned video games in our house prior to this. But this is awesome. It also helps you to get a physical work out too. People who are in retirement homes also enjoy this wii. Congrats Nintendo for thinking outside of the box and coming up with a one of a kind product."

Endless hours of fun!   05/01/2008
By Kimmm from Joliet, IL

What's great about it: Very interactive! Making it way more fun. Great for group play!
What's not so great: A little difficult to get a hang of at first.

"I've spent countless hours with my boyfriend, my friend, and her boyfriend playing the Wii! Some of our funnest times I'd say. Haha. I love how interactive the games are. You don't just sit on the couch and stare at the screen. You actually have to get up and make the actual motions as if you were actually doing what is on the screen! I think this gaming system is genius! Finally getting kids off their butts and getting some exercise, while having tons of fun!"

Family Time Rocks!   05/01/2008
By anitram from Concord, NC

What's great about it: Interactive, Creative and great for all ages!
What's not so great: Addictive!

"This is one of the best things that we have invested in for the family. Our ages span from 13 to 50, and there is not one game that we have not all enjoyed playing together. For the first time, all 4 of us have spent hours in one bedroom or family room enjoying the competition and each other! Since it is portable, we even take it with us on camping trips to play in the RV. The grandparents even love playing it. It is a rare product that can satisfy and challenge such a broad spectrum of individuals."
