Отзывы о Игровая приставка Nintendo Wii Family Edition

This game is really fun. A lot of interactive activities, for most of them you will get a good amount of physical exercise. The games are fun even if there is just one player. I would recommend Sports Wii with Sports Resort to any age group that can work read the instructions on TV screen and work with the remote/nunchuk (which is pretty simple).

By the time I was able to locate and purchase a Wii, I had read various reviews of the new console. Needless to say, the consumer reaction had my expectations set pretty high. I quickly found that the Remote and Wii combo fully lives up to everythig that I have read.

I bought the Wii at a retail location with Zelda: Twilight Princess. I opened the box and 4 easy steps later, was up and running. Even on my old 27 inch CRT with the factory supplied RCA cables, the Wii menu was crisp and impressive. My Wii remote instantly and accurately displayed a pointer that seemed a little sensitive at first, but quickly became easy to control with only slightly smaller, and slower movements. I created a Mii: a fun little extra with lots of customization available. In seven minutes or so I had created Miis for me and my girlfriend that were actually pretty decent caricatures of ourselves. Torturing myself, I left Zelda in the package and popped in the game that comes with the console, Wii Sports.

The Wii Sports games are very basic. Tennis requires no button pressing at all, and you don't move your Mii character to the ball, the computer does that for you. Despite the limitations, you can control the hardness and directionality of your shot by simply altering your stroke hardness and timing with the Remote. Baseball is also rather simple. It is more like a homerun derby mixed with one-on-one baseball you might play in the backyard with ghost runners and ghost fielders (based on your hit, the batter is declared out or is given a single, double, triple, or homerun, depending on how long it took for the ball to be fielded by the AI controlled fielders). Human players only control pitching and hitting, but the Wii Remote operates flawlessly. I was even able to place my hit like real baseball, hitting it down either line or up the middle. After a few innings I hit my first couple homeruns and moved on to the next game. Bowling is as simple as real-life bowling. You can line up your Mii and put as much or as little hook on the ball as you want by simply twisting the Remote in the corresponding direction. I bowled the best ten frames of my life on my very first round. Golf is a little more difficult. If you swing too hard, you will shank the ball pretty badly, and not in a predictable manner. It doesn't help matters that if a ball lands in the rough, your max shot power is reduced by half and there is no chance of reaching the green in two shots on a par 4. The Mii on-screen does not always match your back stroke accurately. Luckily, the on-screen backstroke doesn't seem to affect how well you hit the ball when you swing forward. Putting and chipping are all touch. If you have shot at least four or five rounds of golf in your life, you can just look at how far away the hole is on the TV and swing accordingly. You can read the greens just by looking at them and adjust your aim to correspond to the slope. The ball responds pretty true-to-life and it is very easy to find yourself overshooting the green or putting way past the hole. This is not a fault with the Wii, however, it is a reflection of the difficulty of the real game of golf. The final game on the Wii Sports disc is boxing. Not quite Fight Night, but still rather fun; Wii sports boxing will warm you up. You can float like a butterfly, though your feet don't control anything on the screen. Your gloves on screen mimic where your hands, equipped with the remote and nunchuck, are in real-life. You can bring your hands to your face and block and then dodge left and right. If you are trying to do a punch other than a jab, it requires a pretty specific motion of either the remote or the nunchuck (just uppercutting the air will not necessarily perform an uppercut on-screen; you have to exagerrate the motion quite a bit to see results), and don't expect to be able to execute lightning-fast combos, at least not until fight night or a new rocky game is released. Overall, the sports games are more teasers than anything else. They show the true potential of the wii remote and nunchuck, especially for sports game applications. I can't wait to see some of the old sports favorites adapted to the new control scheme. The potential is there and Wii Sports hilights this potential while offering replayable games that are still fun and intuitive. My girlfriend, who will only play zelda games, was up jumping around, boxing and nearly falling over returning tennis serves within ten minutes of setting up the console.

Zelda is beautiful so far, but I haven't really acquired enough items to make any firm determinations. I did, however immediately go out and buy Red Steel, which I have to say is great as well. It took a few levels to truly get the aim down and adjust to the sensitivity, even though I am still occasionally forgetting that the remote controls looking and letting the pointer wander off of the screen. The graphics are great and the control is fantastic a

I bought three of them and they were sent without the original box, and they look like if they were used. The sticker with the instruction in one of them looks like if it were re-attached to it. And the quality of that stickers and the connectors are not as the originals.

We purchased Wii two years ago. We use it so much that it just finally wouldn't play anymore. That's when we ordered another one from Amazon. Couldn't let a day pass without Wii!!. We had been playing the "sports" cd, but thought we'd try something different. We got the game of Monopoly. Mindless.Needing only a hand to play. We were skeptical, but pressed on. What the game lacks phyically, it makes up for emotionally. I have to have Boardwalk. Oh, oh, my opponent just put houses on his property. And then, there's this little man who runs around the board letting all the players know what's happening and ad-libing about the actions of the players. Like, if you want to trade with another player, he states how exciting that is for him. It's a fun, addictive game. A game for the family. I admit it doesn't take alot to keep me amused, but remember the word "mindless". For me. 4 out of 5 stars.

It's great fun, but you have probably heard that already. There are a ton of fun group games you can play with this thing: it's not a high definition gaming monster, but if you want to entertain your friends, there's no video gaming option like the Wii for finding games that they can just pick up a controller and play somewhat competently.

If you had any appreciation for Super Mario Bros, or SMB3, you'll need to pick up the New Super Mario Brothers Wii. It's one of the most fun games you'll ever play with 2 or three others.

Cons:
* by the time you get done buying extra wiimotes and nunchucks and hd cables and batteries and balance boards and all that jazz, it's not too tough to have spent $400 or more.
* not high definition

Pros:
* great for parties
* fun controllers
* mario, zelda, and metroid
* ability to download and play "old-school" games
* just about everything else
* your old parents can play it and have fun
* your even older grandparents can play it and have fun
* you'll get a good laugh watching them do so
* option to buy fitness games that won't make you fat and dumb if you play them a lot

just buy one already.

Don't waste your money on buying the cheaper fake ones! You'll end up having to buy the original one from Nintendo! Don't make the same mistake I did especially if you have kids because the fakes ones will stop working in a few days.

The Wii system along with the XBOX 360 the best game system. Love all the sports game. I am over 60 and my grandchildren talked me in to getting the Wii. It is wonderful for us older generation.

My great-grandchildren thoroughly enjoy the WII games, so their satisfaction mitigates my own disappointment in failure to satisfactorily stream movies with NetFlix using the WII. So far the movies still hang up every 10 minutes.

You won't be able to find a better fun package for the same price. This is from the perfect birthday gift, to the perfect exercise partner. It is a good investement for fun as it is for cardio fitness, just choose the right game!

I bought this system to try to have fun with the family but to get us involved in it not just sit there and play. This fits the bill. We play wii sports and resorts and they both have you up and making the motions needed for whatever the sport is that you are playing at the time. The whole family loves it and it is a nice break from the boring tv.

I have owned the Wii for a month now, at first it seemed great, but after playing a couple of games i came to a conclusion this was a waste of money.

I own both Xbox 360, and PS3 and thought it be nice to own all 3 current gen systems , so i grabbed it thinking it be great. Well its not,

+ I get to play some great Gamecube games which i missed out on since i never owned a GC
+ GC controllers can work for some Wii games
+ Built in Wifi
+ Small system doesnt take up alot of space

-the graphics suck, after playing PS3 and Xbox 360 it seems like i go back in time to last gen when i play the wii.
- The Motion control is NOT precise and lags, though i hear Wii Motion Plus fixes it.
- It gets very costly, 40 for Remote, 20 for Nunchuck and 20 for Wii Motion plus, thats 80$ for a complete controller set
- Online gaming sucks big time, no matter what game i play online it lags like hell
- FRIEND CODES....wtf is this garbage
- The Sensor bar is garbage and seems like it can snap any second
- VERY few good games, majority games are crap or kiddy games
- No hard drive
- Not HD, we live in the HD age now, its a shame that this system is not HD
- 50$ more and you can buy a PS3 or 360
- My hands feel awkward after a while, i still rather prefer the good old fashion gamecontroller, to bad most games dont give you the option

Overall, this could be a great system, except it has way too many flaws

If you are looking for something to have a good time with your children with then this is the game to have. My 6 yr old grandson loves the boxing and bowling from the game that comes with the wii. Lots of family entertainment.

Really fun! Perfect condition, lots of fun, great timing on shipping, just not as much exercise as we had thought :P

I've played the Wii at a friend's house. Did some Wii Sports and
some Monkey Ball games

**SETUP**
watched a friend setup the Wii. The process wasn't immediate, but seemed straightforward. The included RF cable was used. Strange Nintendo did not have the Wii S video cable available at all let alone include it in the box. The sensor bar was rested horizontally onto the TV more or less center. There was some physical setup with the wiimotes (attaching wrist straps, installing included 2 AA batteries, etc.). There was some initial setup recognizing the console and 4 wiimotes (aka Wii remotes) that I wasn't around for, but it was done within minutes by the time I ducked back. The wiimote is used as a pointing device similar to a mouse and the buttons like a keyboard for menu selection. Popped in games and launched them from the menu.

**GAMES**
*Wii Sports....
A collection of 5 sports games to showcase the wiimotes' capabilities

Boxing -
It was hilarious to watch some Marine actually furiously punch the air as if he were punching a real person in front of him even though only moderately light movements were required. Almost took out some furniture and the TV since he got sooo into it. With the Nunchuck attachment also sensing movement in conjunction with the wiimote, you've literally got 2 fists. Just before fighting, there's a warm up session/tutorial on how to punch high/low, block high/low, and dodge.

Tennis -
You don't have to worry about positioning and movement. The AI will automatically do that for by running for it if it's close enough. You just worry about swinging and hitting the ball with the correct strokes. Actually, the game can be more forgiving than that. I used a forehand stroke instead of a backhand stroke and the game swapped it for a forehand instead. Sometimes the AI doesn't get to the ball on time for those slams or hard drives into the corners, but it would appear that happens mostly to you swinging the racket too soon and causing the player to not be able to dive for it. There are some funny, comical movements as those Wii Tennis doll players try to "fly" towards the ball. The moving around done by the AI makes this the least realistic towards the real deal, but I'm sure as a startup game, this was intentional. I'm sure they'll be other Tennis games to address that.

Bowling -
Similar to real bowling, if not exactly like it. Before you throw, you line up left/right position and angle of throw. Whether or not it actually follows that imaginary line you drew in your mind depends on how you throw the ball. Pressing and holding the underside button picks up the ball and releasing it while making the motion throws it onto the lane. I'm barely a decent bowler, but it appears attributes like wrist movements and force of throw were accounted for

All the Wii Sports I've played were not quite the exact thing in real life, but then again, the Wii was never meant to be a substitute for the real deal. Just a closer simulation of it.
The group of people who did play it were able to get into the game fairly easily after viewing the brief instructions whenever a new game is started

*Monkey Ball
A collection of 50 or so mini-games that use the wiimote extensively as well. The mini-games can span minutes long to even 8+ minutes.

a game where u tilt the platform... (forgot what it's called)
An up-to-down scroller to guide the falling Monkey Ball character onto a target platform while collecting bananas for points. Kinda like that Plinko game from Price Is Right. You roll (like when an airplane barrel rolls, NOT to be confused with turns along it's long axis) the wiimote which also tilts horizontal platforms which was a neat way to control things. It wasn't as enjoyable playing 4 player simultaneous since quarter screen display made it harder to anticipate and see what was below.

Monkey Darts...
Having played alot of real darts, this was quite realistic. For example, just like in real darts some people who start off don't hit the board they don't throw with enough force so it goes down or they twist their wrist so left-right accuracy goes far left or right. Using the A button (topside of wiimote) to grab a dart and releasing it to let go, u can get get more solid throws by throwing it with higher force (quicker arm movement). The one game where higher speeds/force does make a difference.

All in all, the Wii may not be THAT, Revolutionary, but it sure as hell fun and different from the other 2 next gen consoles. While I can't just strike off games like Gears of War or Geometry Wars as being inferior (despite being terrible at them), I will say only so many people could get into those types of games. While Nintendo also has games that will appeal to a certain interest group/fanbase, truly any person regardless of vid

My granddaughter wanted one for her birthday, so being loving g'parents, but knowing nothing about video games, we bought this for her.She, and her friends have been having a ball with it. I figure it's money well spent!!

Santa dropped this off at our house the other day, and I'm pretty sure he had a smile on his ruddy face when he did it. "I'll teach those bleedin' couch potatoes", he said with a laugh. "Ho Ho Ho", and off the old jelly belly flew, with his sleigh full of Wii related accoutrements for sedentary families around the world.

Having the good fortune to have a semi-geek in the house, the Wii thing was soon set up in the kid's bedroom, and after 5 hours I thought I should check on the adult kid and the little kid - just in case.

Santa had sadistically included an extra controller and nunchuk with the package, so added to the pair that comes with the set, a full scale 2 kid war was in progress, covering bragging rights for five included games - boxing (little kid leading), bowling (big kid ahead), baseball (no clear advantage - but then we don't play baseball here, because it's just not cricket), tennis (neither will see Wimbledon) and golf (Tiger's safe for now)

They had set up a Mii (avatar) for each member of the family (self included), and looking at the body shape they chose for me, I immediately remembered that I should make a New Year resolution to lose weight.

Soon enough a challenge was issued, and hours later I emerged as the household bowling champion, but threatening to sue for physical abuse for my boxing loss. (I think they made it personal)

All these games have an aerobic and physical element, and if you don't get yer lazy azz in gear, nothing much happens. Bowling for instance, requires you to swing the controller like you would a bowling ball (making sure that you secure it around your wrist first so you don't put a hole in your TV), and after hours of unaccustomed exercise, your muscles can really feel the burn. And it's not only your arm muscles. One does not bowl without the correct body language after all.

Oh the pain!!

Now they're looking at all the other doo-dads and wing-dings to further their Wii experience, and making strong birthday and father's day hints. IMHO they should drop off their requests to the fat man in the red suit, and get HIM to come over and play some games.

Off to review some Icy Hot and Radian B, and make a massage appointment.

Nice cable at a great price. Quality construction. Does eliminate cable clutter and Improves the 480I to a 480P format giving a better overall picture.

Time has passed for Wii but it is still very fun! At $200 and upgraded with Wii MotionPlus, I still prefer to buy this console instead of the other newer ones!

The Nintendo Wii is the most inexpensive of the current generation of gaming consoles. It provides motion sensing controllers and 480p graphics. We tested the Wii before its launch day (I'm a game reviewer), and we had our own unit in our home the morning of launch day. Here are our findings.

The Wii is designed around a menu of "channels". There is of course the game-playing channel, where the Wii will play any Wii or GameCube game. Simply load the disc in and go. There is a Mii channel where you set up a profile and avatar to connect to all your game playing. The Photos channel lets you look at photos on your TV. Other channels for news, weather, and online shopping require an interent connection; the news and weather were not actually working at launch time.

The system does NOT have a regular network cable port, which both the PS3 and XBox 360 have. Instead, it works with built in wireless or with a USB network adapter. I am a firm proponent of wireless - less clutter! So I am thrilled that they offer wireless automatically. With the PS3, you have to pay extra for the 60 gig unit to get this built in. The XBox 360 requires extra hardware as well.

It's hard to generalize gameplay on any console - it really depends on what games you buy. That being said, the comes-with-it software of Sports is really quite fun and is about as basic as you can get. You swing at baseballs, lob tennis balls, bowl, box and play golf. A "fitness" mode puts you through a variety of tasks and then calculates your fitness age, sort of like how Brain Age keeps track of your mental age. If you did both every day, you could aim to be as fit mentally and physically as possible!

In a world where video games = couch potato, it really is quite amazing to have a game where it natively expects you to move and be active. You don't lounge back and gain pounds here while playing games. Boxing can be quite strenuous, jabbing, blocking and weaving in real life. Tennis involves quick reflexes and strong arm movements. Bowling might be the most relaxed of the sports, but even there you are standing, moving, swinging. You get your heart going at least a little, and get some exercise. My boyfriend had a sore arm after playing for a number of hours, in a good way, as he would from exercising.

The 480p resolution is certainly not high def 1080p like the other two systems. It's something you accept when you're paying such a low price for the console. But really, it's not that big a deal. I still play the old Zeldas and love them for their gameplay, even though you can't see the pores in Link's face. If they are going for the cartooney characters and environments, 480p is DVD quality and is quite good. If you really, really crave high definition super realism in your games, then the Wii might not be the best choice for you. However, if you're fine with playing games with a more impressionist / cartooney look to them, the 480p can show that quite nicely. For example, there aren't fans in the stands for baseball - there are colored blocks.

Nintendo has always been known as a "Kid's Console" - but I really do think with the Wii that they have become a "Family Console". It's not just kids who will enjoy this. Seniors can have fun bowling without knowing anything "Tricky" about how to use a video game unit. It's very intuitive. Moms can easily play with their kids, each with their own Wii profile. Adults having parties can have fun passing the controllers around. Family groups can share slideshows on the big screen while hanging out and drinking wine. Every person who has come over - from 8 to adult - has instantly understood and enjoyed the Wii, without much explanation at all.

With the price tag being so low, a gaming household that "needs" a higher end system can easily save up their money to get that XBox 360 or PS3 - and still be able to justify to get a Wii for the fun, casual gaming stuff to share with their non-gaming friends.

Well recommended! Since I own all three systems, and am playing all three wirelessly, feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

================

Update: One year later, and the Wii is still going strong! It's really funny how many people said the Wii would bomb because it wasn't as good as the PS3 or 360 - and here we are a year later and the Wii is still the system that people are really wanting to get. Hospitals are getting Wiis for their patients to play with. Senior centers are getting Wiis for their residents to play games together with. I was just on a cruise ship and they had Wii tournaments going on every day! This is a fantastically fun system that we really enjoy playing with and that literally the whole family can have fun with. There are great games for kids, great games for teenagers, great games for adults. I am really very pleased with how the Wii has held up and the game set available f

It is a nice cable cheaper than the official one. Not very long but I have no problem connect my Wii to the TV with it. I can see improvement of image quality with 480p.

I recently purchased the Wii with Wii Sport and Wii sport resort. I purchased the Wii to stream Netflix to my tv. The system works beautifully for that. The Wii sports resort is a fantastic gaming experience for me and all of my grandchildren! This was a great value and it was priced just right!Thanks again Amazon! You never let me down! 8-)

I don't usually try off-brand cables for video game systems, but I'm glad I tried this one. The cord is around 5'-6' and the component plugs went easily into my television. The product does everything I imagine the $30 cord would do, but for less money.

I purchased the WII system with two goals, to get my wife and myself moving (using WII Fit and the balance board), and to try my hand at gaming again (after a multiple year layoff). I'm quite satisfied with the workouts offered by the WII FIT system, and it's pretty easy for me to stay interested in daily excersize. My only complaint is that there is much more empahsis on snappy movement, as opposed to good form.
As for gaming, I purchased Call of Duty Reflex and the Zapper remote holder. As expected it took me a day or so to get up to speed with the aiming, movement, an such, but once I got the hang of it, it took me about 12 days of play (a couple of hrs at a time) to complete all missions in the game and open the Arcade Mode. I greatly enjoyed the game, with the only complaint being the graphics quality, (but I didn't expect great graphics from the WII)
Overall I gave the system 4 stars.

The Wii comes with one Wii Remote Controller and one Nunchuck to plug into that Wii Remote Controller. While it's a good idea to get a second Wii Remote Controller, many games don't require a Nunchuck, so it may be worth checking your games before getting the extra Nunchuck. For example, you'll most likely want an extra one for Super Smash Bros. Brawl multiplayer gaming, but you probably won't need one for Mario Kart Wii, and for single-player games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess the Nunchuck that comes with the Wii will be sufficient.
