Just to cover up a few concerns and negative stereotypes of this system
1. Graphics to me are fine. They are like a cleaned up high budget Gamecube game at worst case scenario. Best case scenario it looks like an EARLY Xbox 360 game but in standard def and some games just released or about to be released in 2010 are pushing the system to what it can really do (google images from the upcoming game Monster Hunter Tri to see some impressive graphics)
2. The game library to me is just fine. I heard many people complain there wasn't enough games or there were only childish/simple games available. While that USED to be the case, 2009 filled out the Wii's library with mature titles suitable for more serious gamers, so there's literally something for everyone, just go on a gaming site and check out the whole library of games. I was gaging on which console to get, and believe it or not, I found the Wii's library to be the best in terms of variety and later this year to 2010 looks like it will be a HUGE year with many AAA titles coming. IMO by Xmas of 2010 the Wii will have the deepest library if things hold up. Hopefully I don't sound like a fanboy.











I purchased the Wii unit with Wii Sports, and have since purchased another exercise "game" and a dance "game" for Wii. I love to hike, walk, get out on the water on a kayak, swim, etc. but the weather, and my schedule, do not always cooperate. The Wii programs allow me to get in a good workout that also engages my mind. When it comes to exercise, I tend to like to do things outside because I have zero patience for repetition. I can't stand DVD's after I've watched it twice, and going to the gym bores me to tears. The nice thing about the Wii programs is that you can choose what you want to do and mix up your workout each time. Some days I concentrate on my legs, others upper body, etc. It is fully customizable.
Because much of the audio is repetitious, after I've learned the "game", I usually turn off the audio and put on my own music.
Many of my friends thing of game systems as the old "sit on the couch and point a joystick at the TV" version. The Wii is nothing like that - it is fully interactive and responds to your movement. You can purchase add on tools like the balance board, dance pad, etc. that add to the difficulty and challenge of the program.
I am not likely to ever purchase a traditional war or sports game for my Wii, unless I did it for friend's kids to play with when visiting. I consider the Wii a great investment for a reasonable price as an engaging, and fun, alternative to my traditional work out. I don't think it will ever replace hiking, swimming, etc. for me, but for the days when my schedule or the weather keep me from getting out, the Wii gives me the ability to get a fast, fun work out at home.







I'd like to start off my review by stating that I bought the Nintendo Wii primarily for its Virtual Console feature. I have long since abandoned my Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis consoles. Those were the consoles I owned throughout my childhood; the Virtual Console feature would allow me to go back and get back in touch with my childhood. I have recently purchased classic games such as Super Mario 3, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Donkey Kong Country; this was a wonderful idea on Nintendo's part!
I do agree with some users who say that this system is grossly underpowered when compared to its big brothers, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. When playing on an HDTV, the Nintendo Wii just doesn't stack up. I also agree that although the $250 price point is lower than the competition, you need to add many accessories (component cables, Nunchuk, Classic Controller, etc) to get less features than the competition. In all honesty, this console isn't cheap at all...I actually think that the PS3 is a much better value, but that's a whole different story.
I am satisfied with my Nintendo Wii because I do NOT regard it as my primary gaming console. I am proud to announce that my PlayStation 3 is my gaming console of choice. However, the Nintendo Wii is a perfect compliment for my PS3. Sometimes I just want to play some old school 16-bit classic games...Sometimes the simplicity of the older games is what I am looking for. I love the fact that the Wii is completely compatible with Nintendo Gamecube games. There are a couple of fantastic Gamecube exclusive games that I missed playing; now I have the opportunity to play these games at a low price!
Games developed on the Nintendo Wii generally force you to be more "involved" in the game. Wii Sports is obviously the best example of this, but I also like to use the example of Tiger Woods Golf. The console brings people together and that's what games are supposed to do. Compared to a PS3, the Nintendo Wii is far less intimidating to the average person.
Nintendo has proven time and time again that they are the best game developers in the business. Yes, they reuse a lot of their franchises over and over and over, but they always find a way to come up with such polished and such well designed products. Nintendo console exclusives have won numerous Game of the Year awards in the past couple of years. Some examples are: Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Metroid Prime. Super Smash Brothers Brawl should also be an excellent exclusive title.
I would argue that the overwhelming majority of games on the Nintendo Wii are mediocre at best. BUT...as I stated above, the Nintendo Wii is home to, and is backwards compatible with some of the best games of all-time. In this case, I preach quality over quantity with respect to the games.
Yes, the controller maybe gimmicky. Yes, the graphics are really poor in comparison to the competition. Yes, Nintendo reuses the same franchises over and over and over. Does that make the games any less fun? The answer is a resounding NO!
Nintendo has proven that it has struck a chord with the casual gaming market with the Wii. It offers a different type of video game experience and in many ways, that's a refreshing thing. We're also talking about Nintendo here...these guys simply know how to make fantastic video games with or without third party support. These guys aren't going anywhere, anytime soon so expect to see at least 2-3 AAA quality games per year. For me, that's more than enough.
For me, the Nintendo Wii is a perfect compliment to my PS3. In fact, I traded my Xbox 360 for a Nintendo Wii primarily because of the Virtual Console feature and the occasional AAA exclusive.
I wouldn't necessarily advise people to get a Nintendo Wii as a primary console because I don't think it is the best console on the market (PS3), but as sales show, it succeeds with casual gamers and in many ways, also succeeds with this hardcore gamer.
