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 softballsweetie from Lorain Ohio

What's great about it: Very hands on
What's not so great: internet doesnt always work for some reason

"the wii is hands down the best system I own. If you are looking to feel like you are a part of the action, buy this! The games can get a little pricey but i'm sure that they will start to go down once the wii has been out a little longer. Definitly a 5 star!!"

Most enjoyable game ever 02/12/2008
By CWO2 from Lyons, Georgia

What's great about it: Easy to use, interactive, multiple games
What's not so great: Have not found any yet

"I received the WII in a Christmas drawing and it has been the most fun ever. My grandkids and I enjoy it when they are here and my wife and I also enjoy it. It provides another outlet for exercise (mild) that older people such as I need. We find that the games are not overpriced and provide great entertainment. Not manay computer games these days cross the generational boundaries, but this one is amazing. When grade school kids and retired grandparents can play a game and both enjoy it you really have a special product. I recommend it for all grandparents and parents as well. It provides quality time at a low price."

Disappointing Nintendo... Disappointing! 02/11/2008
By Abolish

"The Nintendo Wii is basically a playstation 2 or a xbox with remotes that you move to play the game. I'm not putting down xbox or playstation 2, I'm just saying that the next generation is here and Nintendo is still behind Sony and Microsoft..."

Great Product, Lots of Fun! 02/11/2008
By gilgar from Irvine, CA

What's great about it: Easy to us, easy to set up, and so much Fun
What's not so great: Battery runs out fast if use alot

"This is the greatest Nintendo product since they began their NES from the 1980's, they are back and better than ever with Nintendo Wii. The wireless remote and nunchuck makes a great playing for any games you buy for the Nintendo Wii. I suggest to buy this game with the bundle because the Wii Sports pack is a great way to get used to the Wii Remote and have fun playing with family and friends. The greatest thing about this product is that any age of any gaming experience can enjoy this product as a whole. Have a Wii party and have them bring more Wii Remotes and find any Wii Party Games. This is so much fun to do even with a group of people. I suggest you all buy this Wii product over PS3 or Xbox 360 because it's affordable! If you can find the Wii at the stores, grab it, it's worth it and it's endless fun is what makes it attractive."

I LOVE the Wii! 02/11/2008
By thelax24 from Hartford, CT

What's great about it: Fun Factor! Low cost! Small Size Built in Wireless Internet
What's not so great: Way too hard to find. Should come with a 2nd Wii Remote.

"bought a Wii when it first came out and I was lucky that I only had to wait in line for 90mins.
Unfortunately my first Wii was DOA as the unit will not accept the disc. Nintendo customer support was great and got a replacement in 3 business days.
The graphics may not be like the XBox 360 or PS3 but the fun factor is there. Games like Super Mario Party 8 and Big Brain Acadamy can bring many hours of play time enjoyment with friends and family. The size of the Wii is small so I place it on top of my DVD player.
If you're looking for a Wii I highly recommend calling Best Buy and ask them when it's going to come out and be prepared to wait in line for a couple of hours or more.
I also recommend picking up Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Party 8.
The Wii only comes with one Wii Remote and a Nunchuk. I recommend picking up a 2nd Wii remote and nunchuk."

Amazing console 02/10/2008
By NMGara11 from Pittsburgh, PA

What's great about it: Easy to use, great for all ages, great games, lots of special features

"This is one of Nintendo's best systems. It has some of the best games on it that are out now, and its only getting better. Its so good that anybody can play, from small children to grandparents. Its not that expensive and it is not that hard to control. Playing games is a lot of fun when your actually doing the motions of swing a bat or a sword or even driving. The Wii is made for multiplayer gaming as well. Most of the games have some type of multiplayer and its up to 4 people. this is one of my 2 "next gen" concoles and i absolutly love it. I play it every day."

Quite Fun! 02/10/2008
By CrustyMagic

What's great about it: Good for playing with family and friends.
What's not so great: Weak on third party titles.

"Playing this with a room full of people is a lot of fun. I personally think that Wii Sports is probably one of the best free piece of software ever created. I'd say it's worth buying a Wii for alone."

innovative and awesome! 02/10/2008
By preeks7 from boston, ma

What's great about it: amazing game system, fun for all ages
What's not so great: hard to find, pricey games

"the Nintendo Wii is an awesome system. i was lucky enough to visit a best buy store when they had just gotten a shipment in and purchased it. it would have been tough or impossible to get otherwise. the Wii sports game is tons of fun. my whole family can get together and have bowling night without leaving the house! other games are fun as well. my only complaint so far would be the expensiveness of the games (although its true for any system nowadays)."

What's great about it: FUN FUN FUN
What's not so great: as with all consoles, 2 controllers would be nice.

"What a blast. This get's you off the couch for hours of entertainment. I've never been a console fan and the WII has won me over. I have only bought 1 extra game so far as I have a blast with the Wii Sports it came with."

Fun to play 02/10/2008
By Liffento from Florida

"I played this when my brother brought it over. It was very entertaining as if you would be part of the game making the characters react to the movement of the controls. The controls react quickly to every hand movement. This system is one of the most interactive system I have seen so far."
