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 poopsiefrom The North Pole
What's great about it: fun, great variety of games, fun What's not so great: the wii remote's laser thingy doesn't always work, NO HALO 3
"this is one of the most fun game systems on the market right now. other than the fact that the wii doesnt have halo 3, its very good. But a downside of the wii is that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 have different and more games than the wii's games."

Best gaming system out there12/26/2007
By Baker82
What's great about it: Plenty of games to choose from, good graphics, entertaining What's not so great: It's addicting
"I love this product. I purchased this on Black Friday and have loved every second of it. The games load fast, the graphics are great, the quality is fantastic, what else could you ask for? This system beats the PS3 and XBox 360 by a mile. FINALLY a gaming system that doesn't revolve around killing people. I'm sorry, but I refused to buy the PS or XBox because all of their games are based around murder, destruction, or theft. What ever happened to games that you don't see blood in every screen? The Wii takes care of that. BIG props to Nintendo."

best system yet12/26/2007
By Anonymousfrom Paramus, NJ
What's great about it: Good games and good family fun What's not so great: sold out a lot
"I went to go look at TV's at best buy when an annoucer said "We have just recieved a limeted supply of Nintendo Wii's." Then I went immedeatly to the center of the store and bought a Wii with rayman raving rabbids 2. Make sure if you buy the wii go immedeatly to get wii mote and nunchuk because they are sold out for a week in my situation. When you get started out buy rabbids 2. It's great you can try to beat over 50 world gaming records with wi-fi connection. There are no bad things except that there are many games or controllers sold out a lot. I thought this was a great christmas present to myself. Hey if you here we got wii's at your local best buy go get one because there great and rare."

A Fantastic System12/26/2007
By Birdbrainfrom Los Angeles, CA
What's great about it: Approachable to non-gamers, interactive, social, adaptable What's not so great: Graphics are simplistic though charming, single player is lacking, difficult to obtain
"The system is approachable to ordinary people. I'm not a particularly serious gamer, tending to lead more towards rpgs, puzzles and sims, but the system was easy to pick up and within a matter of minutes I had the hang of it. It's a great social system, and I frequently play it with friends and family. Even games that were formerly one player, like Mario, have incorporated ways that other players can join in. The graphics, while they may not be appealing to a hardcore gamer looking for reality, are simple and charming, making it easier for someone who isn't a serious gamer to approach it (I personally prefer simpler graphics as they are less strain on the eyes). I give the system 5 stars, it's excellent in the dorm, and a great way to connect with people."

Best Purchase12/26/2007
By PatPatfrom New York, NY
What's great about it: fun games, healthy, gets you moving, best looking game station, easy to use web browser What's not so great: no high definition and isn't much of an entertainment sysytem other than the sd card slot
"The Wii offers a gaming experience like no othe game system avaliable. The PS3 and the Xbox are in the same catagorey, but the wii has its own. Its the best game system I have ever known (since I am not very coordinated with my thumbs) and connects to my DS Lite. The only downside is its graphics and since it wasn't devolope by computer companys it is much of an all-in-one entertainment system othe than the SD card slot which is simple to use. Most negative comments are coming from the fact that gamers don't want to get off the couch. It is the best family game sysytem on the market."

By me23from st. michael, MN
What's great about it: none What's not so great: bad graphics, bad games
"the wii didnt meet what i expected it to be. after about 3 days it got really boring and i didnt play it as much. I would not recommend it. The best game i thought was the wii sports that come with the system. The games are way over priced at about $50 a game. its totally not worth it."

Awesome12/21/2007
By gamekid13from Chicago. IL
What's great about it: Awesome games for everybody!!Nver freezes!! What's not so great: Internet hard to use, not that much games for online play, and not much accesories for online.
"I got a Wii when it first came out last year and let me tell you it is one of the funnest games I have ever played. The games are really fun. The only beefs ive got for this system is the online play. The internet is wireless, which is great but unlike the xbox it doesnt have that much games for online play. The internet is kindof hard to set up too.(But... if you have a wireless N-router you are good to go. Do not recommend wireless-G router for online use) ONe thing i love about this system is that the games are active. Another beef is lack of sports games on this. If you are a sports and action kindof gamer gor with either Wii+360 or Wii+PS3. But if u are only going to play sports do not get this product beacause i think you will be disapointed. But... if ure going to just play fun action or any other kindof game GET THIS!!! Great buy for families. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!"

awesome fun12/21/2007
By shortsweetiefrom Lusby Maryland
What's great about it: gets you active and having fun at the same time What's not so great: hard to find.
"I love this system!!!!!! My friends and i can play for hours and have fun the whole time. I would recommend this system for all ages and all type of people well unless of course you are a lazy person and want to just sit on your couch and do nothing but press bottons on a controller then this system is much to active for that type of person. But if you like being active and love video games i suggest you get this if you can find it. My favorite games are the Mario Party and marble mania."

Great fun for adults too!12/20/2007
By BMWguyfrom Glendale, CA
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.
"I 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."

The Best Video Game System ever!12/20/2007
By neanderthal100
What's great about it: Better Graphics, Lower Price, Wireless What's not so great: None
"I think that the Nintendo Wii is the best video game system ever. I is more reasonably priced then the XBOX 360, and it has better graphics. If you were to choose between the XBOX 360 and the Wii, my advice... Get the Nintendo Wii!!!!!!"
