Отзывы о Игровая приставка Nintendo Wii Family Edition

I recently managed to snag a Wii system online. Once I got it, the first thing I tried out was the Wii sports package... No, actually, the first thing I tried out was the Wii menu system. This system allows you to navigate the different options available, including the Wii shopping channel, the `Mii channel,' the Disc channel, (Can you see that all options are `channels' here?) The interface is spectacular in design, but for a nearsighter, it lacks in function. Unless I memorize the different blocks and what they lead to, I don't know what I'm aiming at. Not a big deal there. Enough colors and designs to let you know, and once you've traversed the routine questions, you know which bubble is OK and Back, Yes and No, etc. The biggest difficulty for me is finding a spot where I'm close enough to see what's going on, but far enough away for the Wii sensor bar to properly detect my motions. (Too close and it won't pick them up, or the motions are exaggerated.) On to the games.

The games present a somewhat different difficulty for a nearsighter. As opposed to standard menus, your environment is constantly changing. Also, in order to read some of the request prompts, you have to have your pointer on the screen... Guess what happens if you're too close to the screen, reading the text? Yep, it goes away, replaced by "Point your remote at the screen to continue."

After making a `Mii' representation, I started playing the Wii Sports. This is HILARIOUS, seeing a cartoon version of yourself bowling, in a boxing match, playing Golf (horribly) and volleying tennis balls. I wasn't that good at the Baseball, as I couldn't see the ball. Oh well, at least I can rest easier knowing the ball can't really hit me in the forehead, eye, nose, shoulder, arm, stomach, leg or crotch... yes, CROTCH.

Super Mario Galaxy is a BLAST! You're controlling Mario on small round planets, sometimes upside down. You might occasionally find yourself tilting your head sideways. There is, however, a lot of reading involved, so I have to scoot up and read, then scoot back to play. Once again, a minor inconvenience when compared to game play.

Tim, Michelle and a few others know I'm a die hard Metroid fan. The last two games, Metroid Hunters and Metroid Prime 3 have been a struggle for me. Hunters, because of the REQUIRED dependency on the touchscreen, and the small viewing area, (I understood, when I bought the game, that this/these might be an issue.) and Prime 3 because of the new controls. The hardest part of Prime 3 for me is knowing what to shoot at. One of the first tasks is to `calibrate your weapons' by aiming at 4 targets. Unless you're (I am) standing face to face with them, they're hard to target properly. The Wii remote controls your facing direction. Your Nunchuck controller thumbstick moves you forward, back, left, right. The other buttons have various functions. In my first skirmish with space pirates, I had a hard time making them out from the flashing backgrounds and walls. A lot of the time, the only way I could target an enemy (I haven't learned how to lock on like you could in Primes 1 and 2.) is see where the purple projectiles were coming from, move toward that spot and fire. Not good for the health meter.

Do I regret buying the Wii? Not at all. I, and other nearsighters just need to understand there will be difficulties to work around. Otherwise, it's an excellent way to uproot a couch potato and give them a little bit of exercise.

When asked how much fun this game was and How do I rate this game overall, I went ahead and marked high marks, even though I did not order a game. What I did order and am thoroughly enjoying is the nunchuk controller, in black, that goes with the black Wii motionplus bundle pack. I will be writing a review on that order as well.

We were the last ones in the family to get a wii, so I had played on it at my children's homes before I purchased this console. The games that come with the purchase (sports and sports resort) are easy enough for my four-year-old grandchild to play. We especially love being able to play Netflix through the wii. Thus far I have no complaints, only praise. I hope the system holds up because it is quite expensive, especially when you buy the other games and additional remotes.

When I first got the Wii (along with the basic Wii Sports & Play) all I thought was "I could play this everyday!" I now own 7 Wii games (3 made for the Wii balance board) and haven't grown tired of the challenges yet. This gaming system is truly made to be played with friends and family. It is made to get you laughing and moving, not sitting.
For everyone I know who has decided to get rid of their Wii it's because they just want a system that they can sit and play a 'normal' game that doesn't require much body movement. But what many don't take into account is that you can easily buy GameCube games CHEAP (but as a caution you must also buy the GC controllers), and play GameCube on Wii as well as download numerous classic games where you can sit as long as you want and still be entertained for hours. I have downloaded 9 games so far on my Wii. I even use the Wii to surf the internet and watch youtube videos. If you can't stand using the Wiimote for typing, just attach a USB keyboard to your Wii. I even bought a 'Classic Controller' because I get tired of putting the Wiimote on its side to play certain games.

Very fun system. If you don't buy it, at least go play someone elses!

But a plus is that it also works with your Gamecube games. The only GC game I saw a notable difference (that I own) was Super Smash Bros. Melee (there's a feature that allows you sharpen or smooth the image. Sharpen looks pretty fantastic). As far as Wii games go, again, no noticeable difference. It gets the job done. I've only owned these cables for 4 months (April-July) so I can't really comment on durability, but for the price I bought them for, it is a pretty good deal

This was the perfect bundle package for our family. My son LOVES the Wii, and we are really enjoying all of the sports games. Thanks!

My 9 and 11 yo kids loved it since the first minute. Only problem is to control the time they spend on it, but the design and software are superb

I have never really been that into video games but since we got a Wii this Christmas, all of that has changed. It is a blast and you actually move more than your fingers! The Wii Sports games that are included are especially fun when we have company over. Everyone seems to love bowling. I am personally addicted to tennis. You can play 1 position or all 4, it is mind boggling. We also just recently got Wii Resort and Wii Fit and they take the games to an even higher participation level. Our whole family also had fun setting up our avitars (Miis). Very clever. I highly recommend this product for older folks like me (48 years old) weither you have kids or not. Unlike other games, it can be a social tool vs. something that isolates you. It is easy to set up and to use and you can play old GameCube games as well as the new motion activated ones. Fun for the whole family and a bargain. My only warning would be to gamers who like total realism, like my XBox addicted son. The sports games have pretty simple cartoonish graphics. They are a different kind of thing, not better, not worse, just very different.

I want to know what should I do to get another wii sports game, because when I received the wii the game never works appropriately, the console don't run the CD game

If you're looking for advice on a gaming system, I'll tell you what a teenager told us. If you're looking to buy for a younger child, say over 5 but younger than 14, then get the Wii. But, if you're buying for a teenager, then they're looking into the Xbox. So, there you have it, from the lips of a teen. So, off we went to get the Wii since we old folks could work out with it as well. It has been the best investment! We can use it with the Wii Sports, and the kids get to have a blast with it with the games. It's so easy to use, the setup is easy (an 8-year-old did ours), and well, it's just been a marvelous addition to the gametime in this house. A word of caution, however, be SURE you read the directions. There are warnings enclosed that state things like "Don't play longer than 45 minutes at a time." The Wii can cause seizures in people so be sure you pay attention to that stuff. Other than that, it's great. Highly recommend!

This system is like off the chain kind of fun I mean it does practically everything. and the fact that you dont have to become a couch potatoe to enjoy it just makes it that much better. I do wii fit,tennis and to feed my need for speed a little mario kart racing LOL. The kids enjoy dancing with the just dance or the sing along and we all like rocking the guitar hero and so much more. Wii is like I said "off the chain", I would reccomend it to anyone young or old. And now you can even stream Netflix movies to it.

The nintendo wii is a breath of fresh air to the video game industry. In a world saturated with first person shooters, games geared for adult crowd, and an abundance of blood and gore, it is refreshing to have a game experience that you can have and not worry about whose head will be chopped off or how many kills you have. I love that the wii causes you to actually get off the couch and do something. You can actually work out while playing video games. Nintendo took the first step. Now it's time for some good changes to the industry.

This is perfect for the long Minnesota winters. It keeps my grand daughter and me active. And on top of that it is fun!

I've seen ads everywhere, but finally got to meet a Wii this summer. Came home and ordered it, and have not been sorry, although it can be a bit addictive.

This is a awesome gamesystem! The controllers for this system has no wires but still it needs batteries. Also on this system you can play gamecube games. Isn`t that awesome?!! All you need to play gamecube games is a gamecube controller and a gamecube memory card. Also this system has really good graphics. Go buy this system NOW or you`ll miss out on all the fun!!!

I bought the Wii for my fiance, and we both love it! It's nice to have games that we can play together. I also like the black, because it matches the rest of my electronics.

I noticed that my prior review of the system hasn't been posted.

I mean, I totally understand if it is all about the profit margin, Amazon.com, but seriously, the Wii is garbage.

Or rather, Nintendo is garbage. I was loyal to them ever since the original 8-bit NES came out. But now?

They won't even let me get into the Wii Shopping center, and they TOOK MY MONEY WITHOUT GIVING ANYTHING IN RETURN. You know, like the points I should have received. Or access to the Wii Shop at ALL.

I know that nowadays freedom of speech is a questionable thing at best in the USA, but as a United States Soldier, I find this just a little bit disappointing.

Seriously?

My comrades deserve better than this, and not all of us are stupid enough to not understand the concept of exchanging things considered to be of value for other things that are considered to be of value. Like money.

But to be fair, I'm just going to write this off as a loss. And I will never buy another Nintendo product as long as I live.

Luckily for Nintendo, I might get nailed by an IED in the next year or two, so I doubt they would care too much about me as a lost customer.

We have had a Wii since they came out. At first we played Wii sports a lot. But that quickly died down. Then we had Mario Galaxy, Zelda TP, Mario Kart, Mario Party, SSBB, and Super Paper Mario. We have since bought more games. But the kids just seem to play a little and then go back to the 360 and PS3. Banjo Kazooie, Rachet and Clank, and others. They get bored so quickly with the Wii and i feel that is because the games, other than the select few that held their attention for a little while, are not that great. That being said, the system does have a few must play titles and with New Super Mario Brothers Wii coming out it should get played a lot for a while.

The systems controls are great when implemented right. I bought the Conduit and although the game was a little weak the controls were fantastic.

The graphics can be decent if a company chooses to do so. Maybe not on par with other consoles but still really nice.

There are some games on WiiWare and of course they have plenty of classics you can download.

Although not included, if you buy or have a Wii i would recommend WiiMotion Plus as it makes for a more responsive motion control in games that utilize it.

This is a great system that would have been a 5-star for me if the games had been there. Just needs more quality games.

this is a great game and lot of fun and thank a lot for included the sport resort i would recommedend and the shipment is fast

Good product to buy to improve the picture quality over the AV cables. I noticed marked improvement in picture quality and sound. It is still 480p picture since Wii does not come with 1080p resolution so do not expect significant change. Overall a good value for money and it gives you the ability to get the best resolution possible, from Wii.

We love our WII system. I have purchased alot of my favorite old school games like Mario Brothers the origianl right on the WII shopping channel and its just as fun as it was years ago. Great buy!

Wow! This is probably the best purchase I ever made.
For the last two years on new years eve, I watched my boyfriend and my brother play on my brother's Wii system. I thought it was a nice game system. He brought some fun kids games and some interesting sports games. It was so funny watching them sweat while playing games against eachother. I used to play tennis, so I tried it for a while. I really felt like I was on the tennis court, my arms were sore within an hour. Then I realized this game unit had the capability to be used as an exercise machine.
I asked my brother to borrow the Wii again for a week, but this time with the Fit Board. I decided to try working out before bedtime three times per week for 30 minutes. I really felt the exercise in all of my muscles as if I had been to the gym or had been working out with a personal trainer. I decided right then and there I just had to have my own Wii.
I purchased it and have been using it for the first two months of this year at least 6 days per week for 30 minutes to an hour. Because it feels like a game, and not exercise, it was much easier for me to get motivated to work out. Then I started working out right after work before dinner. So far I have lost... 16 pounds in two months. This motivated me to start eating right again and I haven't felt this good since I was 18 and didn't need to exercise. At 37 years old, I never thought I could touch my toes again and feel this flexible.
Again... This is the best purchase I ever made. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to feel fit and doesn't think they can exercise. I had a back injury a few years ago and didn't think I would ever be able to exercise again. There was no way I could do sit-ups. I have been amazed that a "game console" could help me.

** As for the people who gave this system negative ratings because the Wii told them they were obese... get over it. We all know we need to lose weight. There are exercises for beginers and advanced users alike. I am looking forward to using this everyday. When I see my weight going down, it makes me feel so good. Soon I will be able to fit into the clothes in the back of my closet. I love this!!!

Let me just start off by saying that the wii is totally different. as i make my review im going to cover some more technical observations a little further down. as someone who has at least tried all the major systems out there, you just cant compare it to the ps3 or the xbox 360 because its not trying to do the same thing. Whereas the ps3 and 360 are trying to make supercomputers affordable ($300-600 and $80 a game just isnt affordable enough for me), and focusing on multi-media functions and extra features, the wii's focus is making an incredible, intuitive, inexpensive, inclusive, and fun gaming experience. I am a technicly minded person, and it takes alot to suprise me or impress me when it comes to technology... and althogh the wii's core isnt more then a beefed up gamecube, i was impressed.

when you take the wii out of the box, the first thing that i noticed is the quality of the packaging and the neat and tidy organization of the parts in the box. The unit itself is suprisingly small and thats important because i dont think its very practical to lug around a 10lb box everytime i want to play a video game at a friends house. Although i only had the basic composite video cables, the video quality was quite good and depends alot on the tv you are using. I have a 63" samsung dlp tv and the video through the basic cables is perfectly clear and crisp, however on a more inexpensive tv, you are reminded that your only using composite cables. The unit itself is physicly more solid then any game console i have every used, including sturdy hinges on all doors. from when you put the bateries in the controller, and when you easily set up the system, and when you realise the wiimote strap comes pre attached, and the sensor bar already has sticky pads on it, or when you plug in a connectors on the back, you can tell that nintendo tought about lots of details. I just cant stress enough how solid the unit is and you can really tell that its a quality product.

The controller is the most incredible i have ever seen or used. It exceded my expectations as far as responsiveness also because the motion tracking has no delay. the sensor bar is just two sets of flashing infrared led's that the wiimote uses to understand the location and distance of your tv for pointing. When you use the wii sensitivity adjustment tool, you can auctually see what the wiimote is seeing on your tv and it becomes clear that the wiimote auctually has a camera sensor in the front for picking up these signals, as you aim the wiimote at any ifrared emmiting device like a lightbulb or candle the wiimoe auctually sees the signals as if it were looking around. overall the remote has far more advanced triangulation then i originaly thought. The accelerometer's in the wiimote also use the constant force of gravity to know how your holding the wiimote, so that the wii can triangulate exactly how its being held and moved on every possible axis. The pointing relys only on the accelerometers percieved motion of the wiimote and the sensor bar location so that having a different kind or size of tv doesent effect the speed or sensitivity of the wiimotes pointing functions, thats important because it really eliminates alot of possible bugs with the whole system although you wont always physicly be pointing exactly at what you trying to point at on the screen. The bluetooth has given me no trouble and you dont have to worry about waking the wiimote up because the wii itself will wake up the controler or prompt you to push a button that may confirm something on the screen and at the same time wake up the wiimote without you knowing. The wii can tell you the battery life of the remotes and can adjust the volume out of the speaker. The rumble function makes using the remote more tactile and the feedback is important to make the wii easier to use because the feedback during pointing is helpfull to be more accurate. Although the wiimote's little speaker wont blow you away with quality or loudness, the sounds are not distorted at full volume and it adds an unexpected level of immersion and detail to the wii experience. hearing the racket hit the ball (the sounds are well timed and mix well with the sound from your speakers) and feeling the rumble in the controller just ads another level to the wii experience and makes the games just that much more fun. the nunchuck has the same motion sensing capabilities as the wiimote itself and plugs into the bottom of the wiimote without having to do anything other the plug it in when you want to use it and unplug it when you dont. No other action is required. its all very simple to understand for anyone. Another thing that i never knew but is a greatly appriciated feature is that you never have to reset the system when you want to play a different game or return to the main menu.

Im basing most of my review off of my experience playing wii sports, and an important thing to note is that there is a h

Works perfectly. Easy install. These cables are exactly as advertised. They clear up the Wii image quite a bit on my HD tv, vs the av cables that came with the Wii. At such a managable price, theres no reason anyone with a Wii and an HD tv shouldnt buy one!
