I was initially impressed by the concept behind the Wii. Or at least I thought I was. When the "Revolution" was announced, it was presented as a true innovation, in vein of the analog stick or d-pad, which would bring a new dimension of control to games. That hype eventually fizzled to nothing, and now we are left with what we have today.

The much vaunted technology that was included in the original Wii controller is a step backwards. It doesn't directly reflect the player's actions on-screen as was expected after Nintendo hyped the controller incessantly. Rather than making games deeper than they had ever been before, it simply replaces button presses as a means to initiate animations. You might be wondering, "if it replaces button presses, then why is it a step backwards, instead of simply being a non-evolution? (let alone revolution)" Well, there's one big reason why, and I'll illustrate it with an example.

If you've played a video game (lets take boxing, for example) on any console other than Wii, you'll probably understand that if you press buttons too quickly, a game might not keep up with you. If you press a button to punch once in a boxing game with a standard, motion sense-less controller, then press the same button again instantaneously, before the first animation is complete, the on-screen character will only punch once. With such a controller, this doesn't pose a problem, since your thumb will always lie just above the button.

When playing Wii Sports boxing, however, inconsistent motion detection quickly becomes aggravating. It's not nearly as "immersive" as Nintendo claims. If you motion to punch once, then motion to punch again too early, not only will your on-screen character only punch once, but you'll be putting yourself at a disadvantage, since you'll need to bring your arms back to punch again. Not only that, but it just feels jarring to see your character's motions not reflect your own, when you expect it to work swimmingly. For this reason, you'll probably find yourself simply "waggling" to perform actions in games, since using broader, realistic motions sometimes doesn't work. Plus, your motions might not even register at all, considering that Wii software only recognizes a field of gestures. But this issue is minor, compared to the dearth of quality games for the system.

As a long time Nintendo fan, I've grown increasingly disappointed with the Wii's library. There are some absolute gems, like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, among the piles of rubbish, but unfortunately, they are far and few between. Feeling dejected by the lack of games on Wii, I eventually purchased a 360, and realized that I had been waiting for games for no reason whatsoever. There are plenty of games on other systems. I could compare the libraries of the three home systems available now, but I'd be wasting my time, as if you care, you could find such info yourself. Wii is the only system I've ever owned that's had such a sparse selection of quality games, and the dry upcoming release schedule seems to indicate that this won't change any time soon. I will keep my Wii, but only because I already own it and hope that there might be a few better games for it in the future, and I could use it to play old Nintendo games, not because its new games are doing me any good right now.

Even a bright spot on the horizon, the Wii Motion Plus, is bittersweet. It will finally make the Wii controller's motion sensing more than just an inaccurate replacement for button presses, but, it won't be released until Spring 2009, around two and a half years after the Wii was first released, and it will cost you even more money, presumably.

So, I feel the Wii is to video games as fast food restaurants are to food. The Wii, like fast food, is massively popular. The Wii, also like fast food, is relatively inexpensive. And the Wii and fast food share the distinction of still being extremely disappointing to those who have experienced anything better, even if they are seemingly a godsend to everyone else.

This game is really fun for all ages-- my grandson has mastered the island flyover and I usually beat him in basketball, so everybody wins at something. Even the bicycle race is a real workout, without having to have a bike! The graphics are beautiful-- I hope there will be more games of this calliber coming out soon.

I love Nintendo Wii. Its titles are very original, its innovative approach to gaming is refreshing and its overall quality as a product surpases both the PS3's and the Xbox 360's. However, Wii's poor graphics against those of the PS3 and the Xbox 360 make it hard to enjoy games where mature stories and realistic effects are the main theme. Of course, the commercial weight of graphics in the industry is a matter of bias. It is this commercial weight that drives the big titles away from Nintendo, such as Modern Warfare 2, Heavy Rain, Assasin's Creed, etc. Those that do make it to the Wii are cartooned, like FIFA 10. Some titles, though, have exclusive material for the Wii that balances the battle against other consoles (e.g., the upcoming Star Wars: Force Unleashed II). In the end, the Wii owner either loves Nintendo's franchises (Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Smash Bros.), knows or investigates specifically what games to look for, or plays strictly between the Everyone and the Teen ratings of the ESRB. PS Move and MS's Kinect make the Wii controls argument invalid. Oh, and you buy it to play videogames, because it doesn't play movies, music or stores your files.I strongly recommend the Wii as a gaming console. If you are not a hardcore gamer, more so. If you often play with friends or family, even more so. But if you are a selective gourmet or a hardcore gamer, you will need more than the Wii. You'll need every console in the market.

Плохо

Let me start out by simply saying that, despite what you may have read in many of the reviews here, the Wii is not a perfect console. It is not a bad console, but it has more than its own share of flaws. For many prospective customers these flaws will not amount to much. To others however they can be pretty serious.

If you were to go simply by the "most helpful" reviews here on Amazon, you would have to conclude that the Wii is far and away the best video game console ever made. I can hardly blame most of these people. If I had not owned any other game console in the last decade, as many of them confess they have not, I imagine I would feel the same way. And I have to admit, that I was pretty excited the first time I booted up the system. There is a sort of newness, a freshness to it, even for someone who has been playing games for a long time, that adds exponentially to the initial enjoyment.

However, this is no longer the case. I have owned my Wii for over a year now and the excitement for it has long since waned. The chief culprit here is the severe lack of quality games for the system. The list of games that are actually worth spending $50 on is a short one indeed (less than a dozen in my personal opinion), and shorter still if you count the fact that many of these games (eg Okami, Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess, etc...) are available on older, cheaper consoles. And it's not just that there aren't many good games on the system, there aren't many mediocre games on it either. The Wii has become a system for game developers to shovel out cheap, rushed games in the hopes that an undiscerning customer base won't know the difference.

The truth is, the Wii is a console with a very specific target market. If all you want is to play Wii Sports with your friends or workout with Wii Fit, then by all means this is the console for you. However, if you're looking for something that will give you a steady supply of new, fresh, quality games the I'm sorry but this is not your system.

Some of the other reviewers have painted the picture that only the hardest of the hardcore would not be satisfied by a Wii. I disagree. If you plan on playing more than 2-3 games a year and have even a rough sense of what does and doesn't make a quality game, then you're going to start running into the holes in the Wii's library pretty fast. To me, that's not "hardcore" that's just someone who likes video games.

And really, I'm not sure I would really even recommend a Wii for a lot of casual players. If you're looking for a cheap console to play with friends, I would probably recommend a Playstation 2. The system costs half as much, it has pretty much the same graphical fidelity as a Wii, and has literally hundreds of quality games to choose from, almost all of them available for less than $20. For what it costs you to get a Wii with Wii Sports and a single controller, you could get a PS2 and a copy of Rock Band and still have $20 left in your pocket. Oh, and unlike the Wii you won't have to spend the night outside your local Target just to get your hands on a PS2 either.

The Wii is a good console for a certain group of people, but it is not the "end all be all" of video games that a lot of people say it is. For a lot of people there are better options out there.

------

Update: Over 6 months after my initial review, the situation is more or less unchanged with the Wii. The library of games, even after the holiday season, is still remarkably devoid of quality titles. Of the five platforms I own, the Wii sees easily the least usage. Yes, I am what most would consider a "hardcore gamer". Yet my wife, who barely games at all, has spent more time playing Little Big Planet on the PS3 than all our Wii games combined in the last several months. Meanwhile the Xbox 360 arcade is now priced at $200 ($50 cheaper than the Wii), and the PS2 has been reduced to $99.

Don't believe the hype. Don't buy one simply because it's popular. For most people, there are still better options out there for less money.

I was very impressed on how fast the product arrived at my home. I ordered a Nunchuk 6 weeks ago from another vendor on Amazon and it took almost 2 weeks for me to get it and I used it three times and it quit working. When I compared this product to theirs....well there is no comparison. This Vendor's product is of much better quality and I believe I will have many great boxing matches with it. Thank you!

The Good:
The Wii is a lot of fun for people of all ages. I have to say, I have never seen a gaming console attract so much attention from non-gamers (such as personal friends and family members), as the Wii does. It really is a fun and engaging toy to have at a party or social gathering.
Its ingenious, revolutionary controller really does bring something new to the world of gaming; it introduces many new possibilities for playing games. Besides including rumble, there is also a speaker located on each Wii controller, which also adds to the fun.

Nintendo's impressive first-party releases are truly great games (aka "killer apps") that will keep you engaged 'till the end; titles such as "The Legend of Zelda", "Metroid Prime", "Mario Galaxy" and even "Wii
Sports" are incredible games that demand to be played.

The Wii itself is a relatively small and unassuming little device, (especially when compared to the other game consoles) and I, for one, am grateful for this fact, as I own all three consoles and simply have no shelf-space left.

Its backward compatibility with the Gamecube (both for games AND controllers) is a big plus. It has an easy, intuitive interface. Its wireless capabilities makes getting online for downloads and firmware updates a snap. The ability to download classic Nintendo games via "Virtual Console" is great.

The ability to add more memory via cheap SD flash cards is a big plus. Comes with "Wii Sports", a great party game (although, for real gamers, it will come off as demo, more than anything else; you won't be playing the game for more than five minutes when alone).

Being able to surf online via a downloadable web browser (as well as having access to "channels" that allow 24 hour access to news and weather updates is nice option.

Creating "Mii"s are fun and addictive.

Of course, I'd be remiss if I failed to mention the fact that this is one gaming console that encourages physical activity, which can only be a good thing.

The Bad:
Of course, it can get both a little tedious and a little exhausting playing the Wii; constantly flailing the Wii controller around definitely wears thin after awhile (especially with single-player games). Constant breaks will be needed.

Graphics are decidedly last-gen, and will only continue to look more unimpressive as time goes on. Third-party games typically seem unclear what to do with Nintendo's unique control scheme; all too often, the feature feels shoe-horned into games. Its gaming library suffers from an over-reliance on multiplayer "party games"; this means once your friends leave, your Wii will more than likely collect dust, once you beat "Mario" and "Zelda".

Where is the online multiplayer, already? The infrastructure is there but (as usual) Nintendo seems to be taking its time implementing it.

The web browsing, while superior to the PS3 (which also comes equipped with a web browser), still needs work; it's slow to load and reading online text is cumbersome (particularly on a television screen less than 42").

The cheap price for the console comes at a price: no rechargeable batteries for your controllers means you'll be shelling out even more dough (opt for rechargeable batteries, as well as a charging station, because this puppy DOES eat batteries). In order to play games downloaded from the "Virtual Console" you will need to buy yet another controller, the "classic" (although, if you have some old Gamecube controllers, they'll work just as well). Every time you purchase a new controller, be prepared to also pony up for a nunchuck as well, as both are needed in order to play most games, and both are sold separately.

Speaking of controllers, the overall feeling of the controller is rather cheap in ones' hands, coming across as a fragile piece of plastic that won't last too long if dropped hard enough.

If you have an HDTV, be prepared to buy component cables. Speaking of component cables, on top of the dated graphics, the Wii is only capable of outputting to 480p, ensuring its already weak visuals will seem even more dull and flat looking on any typical HDTV. Ditto for it's unimpressive audio, which consists of old RCA "Left/Right" plug-in cables. Also, be advised the Wii does NOT have the ability to play DVDs' or CDs'; this is strictly a gaming machine, nothing more.

By focusing on being primarily a "family-friendly" console, hard-core and adult-oriented gamers have so far (for the most part) been pretty much left out in the cold. Of course, when choosing multi-platform games, any real gamer who has more than one brand of game console will almost always pass on the Wii version, thanks to its guaranteed-inferior graphics and weak audio/visual prowess (controller notwithstanding).

Finally, while it's true there are a few genuinely great "killer-app" games now ava

I am not a fan of video games, but I must admit that this is the best one out there, especially bundled with all the sports software. My family, from the preschooler (age 5) to the great-grandma (age 80), and everybody at every age in between, really enjoys playing the sports games, either solo or even better competitively. Now this includes a lot of couch potatoes, including me, so I am very happy to see everybody physically active, no matter how limited. The variety of games also allows for various levels of physical and mental abilities, depending on age and disability, and it permits individual and "team" choice and preference based on natural interest in one sport over another. This might just be the best thing to ever happen to "family togetherness" since the invention of television, which tends to isolate people from each other. Just from the standpoint of physical and mental exercise and challenge, the Wii is truly a bargain. And this bundle is an incredible bargain, combining so much hardware and software in one package. (I do wish there were a second Remote substituted for the Nunchuk, so as not to have to keep passing the Remote from player to player during the games. But I suspect Nintendo figured that this is a good way to increase profits, practically forcing people to purchase a second Remote for convenience sake, and I have to admit that at the Amazon price they may even be justified in taking that tack.) Of course, various family members also are puchasing their favorite arcade-type games as well, but again I have to admit, as a non-gamer, that those games also appear to be lots of fun and worthwhile, if you're into that type of entertainment. Finally, the design of the entire system looks and feels sleek and modern (especially in black), as well as sturdy. This is a real winner and a great deal at Amazon.

This is the game that origianlly came with our Wii system and we enjoyed it enough that when the disc got destroyed, we got a second copy of it. The collection of games are fun and the only one that really frustrates me is the boxing. All of the others are good and do a good job of showing some of what you can do with your Wii.

I ordered the Wii for my daughter since the one we had was stolen during a break-in. It came in sooner than expected, so I was happy about that. However, the postal service left it out in the rain before I could get to it. The box was wet, but all contents were fine.Overall, very happy. My only problem is that the original Wii Sports game does not work, but luckily we have another one.

I got tired of the original "white" nunchuck, so while getting my newest black wii remote I also decided to purchase a new black nunchuck to go with it. The two items together look great!! Much better than having plain old white like I used to have.Also, there are cheaper nunchucks on here that are knock offs (in other words, Nintendo did not make them. A third party did). After my experience with knock offs I recommend you ALWAYS buy Nintendo brand products. Even though it may appear to be exactly as the original, save your money and always buy the original if you want your product to function the way it should and last a few years, rather than a few hours. I purchased mine "used" and it works as if it were brand new. This goes to show that when Nintendo themselves makes a product, you can guarantee it will last a long time. I myself would purchase a used Nintendo product, over a new third party knock off any day because I have had my experience once with that already. I learned from that mistake.Overall, if you are looking for a black nunchuck, then purchase this one!

I was used to Xbox...my daughter wanted a Wii so we got one on the occasion of her birthday. The games are fun and even my 3.5 year old can play.I like that we have free access to Netflix with it, but there are too many things you have to attach before playing. The controller needs batteries changed to often. And you cannot play DVD (I had no idea that you could not!!!)So I like the Xbox better for its convenience and the kinect thing, etc...but I suppose the Wii is great for the kids and it fit that purpose

It's a Wii, and it does what a Wii does. My main frustration in life after I got this was trying to keep the pretty blue light on. It's an impossible task, and I gave up sending emails to myself after a while. After a few months of playing with the Wii, I'm pretty tired of the Mii characters. They were fun at first but got old quickly. They make the Wii system feel a bit too...cartoonish at times. It's a fun, lighthearted, family-friendly system that has been a welcome addition to our home.
