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.

BEST GAME SYSTEM EVER!04/24/2008
By chicaaud
What's great about it: Fun, interactive, like nothing else What's not so great: none
"Great game system. I'm hooked and I had given up games. You just can't put the remotes down. It would be good to invest in the rechargeable battery packs, because replacing tons of AAs can be expensive. Fun to play alone or with people, looks great on widescreen too."

What's great about it: new style gaming system What's not so great: the games!
"The wii is ultimately a good system and has the same features as an xbox 360 or a ps3 except the hi def gaming, which the new style gaming system definitely makes up for that lacking. however, before the wii came out nintendo said there would be games for everyone, adults, teens, kids etc. However if you walk into any retail store that sells wii games, most of the games on the shelves, are directed towards an audience of five year olds. I have a wii and have had one since a month after it came out, with mario kart coming out ill be back into playing it for a bit, but for the most part the games arent there for me, so it collects dust. if you have a family, or a little kid however, this system will be tons of fun for you."

THE BEST NINTENDO SYSTEM EVER!!!04/23/2008
By CrazyMarifrom Bronx, NY
What's great about it: Tons of Fun, Cool Games, Very Interactive, Play with Friends/Family, Space-Saving, Super Cool What's not so great: Good luck finding one
"I must say it's the best nintendo system ever, and I have been a fan for years since the original console (which i still own by the way-and still works lol). It's so much fun and highly addictive, and there's no excuse to incorporate some exercise while having fun with DDR and soon to come Wii Fit. Graphics are awesome (check out Super Mario Galaxy etc.) it's simply the best!!! :)"

Wii love it!04/23/2008
By Anonymousfrom Chicago, IL
What's great about it: User friendly. Easy for kids to figure out. What's not so great: Not enough games yet
"This is such a cool system. It provides some exercise, rather than kids sitting around staring at the screen. Helps with hand eye coordination. The fact that you can do many more things with it(internet) is very cool. It plays all of the gamecube games, which is very convenient."

Best Console EVER!!!!!04/23/2008
By bobJalapenofrom Dartmouth, MA
What's great about it: fun,easy to use,family oriented,great games available What's not so great: can't think of any
"a great product that everyone should consider buying. it's great fun for the whole family and everyone will enjoy it. the controls are fun and easy to use and there are great games available that really take advantage of the Wii's unique features. not to mention the Wi-Fi capabilities that let you battle and chat online. But don't worry, most of the games are safe and secure. If you're looking for a new console, this would be your best choice."

Best system purchase04/23/2008
By Futuristic
What's great about it: Great for moving around and playing games What's not so great: loading screen
"It is a t system that combines some physical activity with playing great games. This system allows the controller to move around freely with its wireless remotes. It is also fun to play. For kids and parents. It is not to complicated to play the games because the remote only has a total of 4 buttons a a direction pad. Over all the system is great. It allows the controller to feel as if they are really in the game because of the movement that is involved."

Outstanding Fun04/22/2008
By DaMamafrom Ashland City, TN
What's great about it: Gets My Kids Off Their Rear Ends What's not so great: Not Enough Games Available
"My kids saved for months to buy their Wii, and it was well worth it for them.
Personally, I can't wait until Rock Band comes out for the Wii, then the entire family can play a game we all agree on.
Anyway, not only do we use the Wii to play games, my kids have incorporated it into their homeschooling day by taking turns reading news stories and checking the local forecast."

Brilliant!04/22/2008
By WiiLover
What's great about it: requires you to move around instead of sitting on your tush. It gets you physically involved in the games. What's not so great: Its alot to take in at first. if the sensor bar isn't positioned just right, may interfere with performance
"I love mine! Difficult to get ahold of but dont regret the purchase what-so-ever. Gets my entire body involved in the games. Some games are more technical than others but overall an amazing buy!"
