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.

By BakerFamily from Orchard Park, NY

What's great about it: AWESOME! Very easy to use
What's not so great: None

"I have bad wrists so I had to give up playing Playstation with my son. The Wii remotes and nunchucks are so easy to use and hold that it doesn't bother them at all, not even after a long time."

Gamers: The winner is... 04/30/2008
By Razorbax from Centerton, AR

What's great about it: Gives you the most unique gaming experiance yet!
What's not so great: Graphics are not it's strong point, but doesn't have to be!

"I'm a Sony fanboy, but since I've been married my wife sometimes feel left out. Not anymore! It's the first console allowed to have living room priviledges. My wife loves it, and the games keep getting better! We just had our fist child, so we don't feel like this is kids toy. It's definitley the thing for social 20-30 somethings to have!"

Nintendo Wii 04/30/2008
By Gordo from Texas

What's great about it: Great fun for a party or group of friends

"My wife had purchased the Wii because Wii sports is one of the few games she has a chance at beating me. And sure enough its usually a neck to neck score until one of us either gets lucky or unlucky. I have a 360 and the only game she will touch is UNO. But since we got this she has been keeping up with the upcoming games better than me. Which is different, and she is the one wanting to goto the store to see which new game we will buy. No complaints here. Nintendo has always figured how to come out on top in their own way."

By mango0322

What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: none yet

"I am not a gamer by any means. I hate sitting on the couch and just fiddling my thumbs to play a game. The Wii is nothing like that. You get up and get moving. It's amazing how interactive and competitive people get when playing this!"

Best system ever 04/30/2008
By cart from Utah

What's great about it: motion sensor controller, quick games, many titles
What's not so great: poor graphics, many games not great quality

"I've had my wii for over a year now and love it. When we first got it everyone played the sports games (including my 94 year old grandpa). I would stick mainly to the actual nintendo released titles unless reviews say otherwise. The controllers create a great atmosphere and makes many games easy enough for my 2 year old to play along."

Awesome, even for the non-gamer 04/30/2008
By TheJimster from TN

What's great about it: Easy to setup, use, and is very uncomplicated! FUN!
What's not so great: You might pull a muscle gaming! :-)

"In my mid 40's now and not a gamer at all, I'm sold on the Wii and its ability to easily get the family together for some fun and laughter. And the very best part, is it's clean and "E" rated! I must say to the NON-GAMER or the skeptic (as I was the chiefest) that this is one fun system. Seems like my son has had all the various gaming systems over time, and it's consistently mind numbing to figure out all the control buttons, UNITL NOW! I've typically just stayed away from gaming because it was more trouble than fun to "game." Its always seemed so backwards. THEN CAME THE Wii. I'd heard the stories, and finally decided (still can't believe it) that I'd give one a try (my son wasn't even asking for one). We waited for Best Buy to have them in stock and snatched one up. In almost no time we were up and playing with no instructions and only ONE or TWO BUTTONS TO FIGURE OUT!! Ye Ha! This thing is loads of fun, so very very simple to use, and will help your family bond if you have one of those children that live for gaming. Now YOU CAN PLAY TOO, and actually enjoy it! :-) Yeah, go get one, TODAY!"

Fun console 04/30/2008
By mbkid88 from Los Angeles, CA

What's great about it: Keeps you active.. moving all the time!
What's not so great: Keeps you active... moving all the time!

"This is a great gaming console. It requires you to keep moving around to play the games... but after awhile, you will get tired...... Game controls are not as precise but hard core gamers but great for casual players or parties.... its entertaining... easy to play."

Great Family Activity 04/30/2008
By sillygirl554 from Kansas

What's great about it: It is an active video game rather than the others where you just sit there
What's not so great: A little bit to expensive,

"I love this product. My 47 year old mom bought it for her and my dad because they never do anything together and she thought he might like this and he did. My dad has never liked any type of video game at all ever so the fact that he likes this is amazing. He plays it at least once a week with my mom and it has given them an activity to do together and spend some time together. Plus, all of us kids and grandkids love to go over and play as well. Everyone gets envolved and it is a great family activity that is lots of fun. I would recommend this product to anyone of any age."
