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.

Another great nintendo product01/17/2008
By focusrcr19
What's great about it: Completely interactive. What's not so great: Not alot of super great games.
"Now dont get me wrong this is possibly one of the best systems ever as far as fun it is totally interactive. You can even dl some of orginal games going as far back as regular nintendo. I dont really recommend shooter games for this system the controles can very frustrating. Unless you get the gun-con holder thing or w/e. Really wish nintendo would get into the dvd market, but hey thats really something for them to say hey we can make this great product and not go the way of every else and still come out on top."

Good Console for families and large groups01/17/2008
By Calisfrom Maryland
What's great about it: Ease of use, Mii customization/creation, small package What's not so great: lack of HD, easily sells out!
"This product can easily charm a diverse group. Nintendo gamers can pick up a wiimote and start fiddling around almost instantly. Those with minimal computer knowledge should find the interface easy as well. By far, the best aspect of this unit is the fact that so many other age groups can be turned on by the fun that it has in store. My own 40 and 50 something aunts and uncles were able to bowl and play tennis on Wii Sports with relative ease! My four year old son has also become proficient and playing the simple games found on Wii Sports and Wii Play. Cheers!"

I love it01/16/2008
By Trabmadafrom Lehi, UT
What's great about it: They are the funnest Console on the Market What's not so great: Good luck finding one.
"Just trust me, you need to buy one. You most likely won't even get to this review unless you are sorting them in some fashion, but they are good. To get one you have to just be persistant with your local store. They get trucks two to three times a day, but rarely are there any Wii's on the trucks. It is all a matter of timing and luck.
Good Luck and happy Gaming."

More fun than expected.01/13/2008
By Hatchmanfrom Suffolk, VA
What's great about it: Economical interactive gaming system for whole family. What's not so great: None.
"Waited in line last Christmas for a unit. Worth every minute now that I've played it. The basic package (Wii Sports) that comes with it is so fun I hardly play any other game. Quit a workout you can get from it. Also I used it for while working out. Learning how to use the remote and games helped improve my low back strain once released from the doctor. Now I can beat most in bowling, baseball, and tennis sitting down. At parties the Wii out performs the PS3 hands down for my age group friends, except for maybe the PS3 BlueRray function. Get one if you can, you'll love it."

What's great about it: Endless games w/ wifi, internet surfing, fun for everyone What's not so great: hard to get, should come w/ extra remotes
"I cannot even tell you how much fun we've had with our wii. Definitely worth the price, if you can get one that is. The sports game is the one I play the most, which is the freebie you get w/ the console. I finally got wireless internet and am so glad that I did. For some extra "points" that you purchase, I got the internet and am downloading some old school nintendo games. Also, you will need to go out and buy more remotes so your friends can play too. I love everything about the wii and would totally recommend."

Over all i would get this for family or friends."

Very Child Friend, but not for gamers!01/08/2008
By PapaStac
What's great about it: Most games are made for young children. What's not so great: Senser can be annoying, graphics, game selection
"Nintendo advertises that this game is good for all ages but it really is only fun for young children and older people that do not play games often. It was very hard to find and I wanted one. My wife finally found me one and we played it probably about 10 times in a year! Every game that I rented on it was not fun. The graphics were not the greatest at all. To make a long story short, I sold the system and will stick to the 360 and PS3. If you want this system for hardcore gaming, this is not the system for you."

Great interactive console ( i would give a 4.5)01/08/2008
By BroncoManiacfrom Simi Valley, Ca
What's great about it: Great features/ Great interactive gameplay for all games What's not so great: Childish/blocky Graphics for most games
"This console is great. Everybody in the family will want to play this awesome system. There are some cool features too (so long a you have intenet hookedup to it), such as you can browse the web, see the weather, etc. The game that comes with the console when you buy it, Wii Sorts, is good too. With the Bowling, Tennis, Boxing, Golfing, and Baseball, there is something for everyone. All those games even can keep you in shape ( espicially boxing). So if you're looking for a fun interactive electronic for the whole family, get the Wii."

What's great about it: everything that describes awesome! What's not so great: nothing (DUH)
"This is the best gaming system in the world. It's so awesome. I love how the controlers are wireless so when you play you don't have to sit right next to the tv and go blind. This is sooooo... worth the money. I got it for my birthday in June and i play it everyday. BUY IT. and one of the best games you can buy is dance dance revolution hottest party. IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!"

One of the best systems ever01/06/2008
By GamingGuy28from WI
What's great about it: Fun, easy, wireless! What's not so great: It's so hard to find =)
"I couldn't have gotten a better system than a Wii. I've played Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 (nevermind 3), and I'd have to say that the Wii is more fun to play than other systems by far. I'm not just saying this because I am a Nintendo fan, but because I'm being honest when I say it's better. The Gamecube system was great, but the original Xbox was better in my opinion. But now the Wii is the dominating system in this era, just look at the sales of it. If you're looking for a great system, then look no further. It's very hard to find, but if you can get your hands on one, you won't be disappointed."

By Gstatus96
What's great about it: None What's not so great: None
"Ya i know everyone likes the Wii its ok but really the PS3 and XBOX360 have funner games and have way better graffics.Like look at Gears Of War those grafics are amazing and on the PS3 look at Motor Storm those grafics are really good too.This is what each system has for own abillities. PS3:Great graffics and amazing interface Xbox360:Has the best online gaming and same graffics as PS3. Wii:The Wii just has fun like the actuall play or the classic games. Hope you use these three system's imformation to see which system do you need."

What's great about it: It is realistic and a great system What's not so great: no cons
"This game system is the greast of all times. Just being able to actually move the controller and controll the game is great. I recommend this to anyone. We play it all the time and never get bored. The wii sports is the best part of the system. Bowling, tennis, golf and tennis are great and will never get boring no matter how many times it is played. I can't wait to buy one."
