If you're thinking about getting this, do. It's worth the $200 easy. Especially if you have younger kids. There aren't that many games on our PS2 that our younger son can whoop the older, but this system seems to even that out a bit. And even when they aren't winning they just don't seem to care. The games are that fun.
If there is any draw back it's one of marketing/packaging. It really needs to come with two controllers (like they used to back in the day). That's why I'm only giving it 4 instead of 5 stars.






1. Obviously, it has a fancy controller that does lots of things other controllers can't. It is comfortable and the nunchuck is a fine addition.
2. The menu interface is simple, clean, and expandable.
3. Comes with Wii Sports.
4. Your grandma will play this occasionally.
Here are some cons:
1. The controller is not accurate. I don't know why more people don't comment on this, but you don't point at the thing you want on the screen, you point at a space above or below the thing you want, depending on the size of your TV and whether the light bar is above or below the TV. So, it takes getting used to and is far from amazing. If this was truly a ground-breaking console, why couldn't they figure out a way for the aim to be better? The freaking gun on the NES was more accurate.
2. It includes Wii Sports, yes, but that's the only game that the vast majority of Wii owners will ever play. Your grandma is not going to go out and buy Zelda or Mario Party. I know several middle aged women who went out and got a Wii because of all the hype, played Wii Sports for a few hours, and haven't touched it in months. There are lots of simple games on the system, but none of them are any GOOD. Mindless ports, quickly constructed party games, and bland nonsense plague this system. A real gamer might buy Zelda and perhaps 3 or 4 other games for the system, but that's being pretty forgiving. I personally own Zelda and that's it because all the other games are so childish and rehashed. Mario Galaxy was fun for about 20 minutes but has nowhere near the depth or intellectual value I enjoy on PC games or even PS2/3 games.
3. It is 2008. How can a modern, popular console not support high definition gaming? Whoever decided that was mentally retarded or something. Even with the component cables(which are an extra, ridiculous fee) every single thing on this console looks like absolute crap on my 46" 1080p LCD. Sure, it's at least widescreen, but so are PS2 games. Everything is blocky, ugly, and distracting. My PC and PS3 have games that rival real life. The Wii has games that rival a sack of cow crap.
4. It has no hard drive and the SSD card functionality is painfully limited. No hard drive = No game demos worth downloading, no video downloading, no media storage of any kind, no media streaming of any kind, significantly limited space for game saves, and no custom content downloading, such as backgrounds or mods.
5. No DVD playback. What, the extra 30 cents of manufacturing cost was too much?
6. No high definition disc playback or game capabilities. Already this is a problem for the xbox360 and will surely be a problem for the Wii. Well, maybe not actually since the thing can't even produce graphics that would require the space anyway. The graphics on the Wii look like they could be stored on a 1.44mb floppy.
So, my conclusion is that the Wii would be a great console...4 years ago. Or, it would be a great console now at half the current cost. In no way, shape, or form is this thing worth 250 dollars. I'll probably sell mine and buy it again when it's far cheaper, available in a bunch of lame colors, maybe has a hard drive, and has some worthwhile games available. I give it 2 years to accomplish all of that.

For one thing, the contraption itself looks like it could have been in, like, Star Trek or something. The main thing sits on this other thing that makes it kind of tilt up, which makes it really easy to put the disks and and also LOOKS INCREDIBLY COOL. It could totally be a sculpture.
So anyway, once you get all of the stuff hooked up, plug in all of the cords and set up the sensor bar thing (which looks a lot less high-tech than it sounds), and start 'er up. When you first turn it on, it brings you too the "Wii Channel" page, which includes stuff like the weather channel and the news channel and other stuff that nobody really cares about.
Because you want to PLAY A GAME. That's why you bought the thing, gosh darn it. So grab your Wiimote. Now - get this - POINT IT AT THE SCREEN. No, the other way. There you go. See? You point the thing at the screen to move around the little cursor thing. IS THAT COOL OR WHAT. 'Course, you'll probably need a few hours of practice before you're able to actually control it well enough to actually click the right channel.
The Wiimote can also vibrate and make noise. It is basically a robot.
But yeah, once you got the whole Wiimote thing down (or just use a GameCube controller, if you're against PROGRESS and CHANGE and HOPE FOR THE FUTURE), you can play games such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl (which is pretty much the greatest game of all time), or WiiSports. Which comes - oh my goodness this is amazing - FREE with the system(!).
You can also buy other games that use/require extra cool stuff, like Wii Mario Kart or WiiFit. Sweet.
So yeah, buy a Wii. They are the coolest.
