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.

What's great about it: Movement required to play games and family fun provided.
What's not so great: Expense with all the necessary add ons

"Great product that provides a lot of family fun. Best part of the sytem is the need for movement; while many of the other gaming consoles are basically couch potato systems."

What's great about it: easy to use, loads of fun in every game so far
What's not so great: can't download netflix or play blu ray

"Bought the WII for Christmas has a great game pack included, surprisingly responsive, easy to learn, really for any age. You can connect to the internet through the game system and download other non wii Nintendo games (mainly nintendo 64 game)which increases the value. A great buy overall, but doesn't play dvd's or bluray"

What's not so great: I have 6 kids so they have to take turns

"I would recommend this to everyone, it has games for young children to elderly people and even helps with weight loss. Up to 4 people can play at once which my children enjoy. It is very easy to use and you dont even have to get up to turn it on, you just have to use the remote."
