Then one day I was at a friend's house and he asked if I'd liked to play a game of bowling on his new Wii. I said sure, what the heck. It was free. So he started it up and handed me a Wiimote. That was all it took. After a day's worth of gaming on the Wii I was hooked. I was immediately impressed with the fluid responsiveness of the remote - picking up even the slightest wrist movement could turn your throw into a wicked curve or a straight on dead shot. Another thing that amazed me is that after playing a days worth of bowling and golf I was sore for a week.
The following week my brother came by to visit and I mentioned I had played the Wii and he shocked me by saying he had played it too and loved the bowling game. This was news to me since I knew my brother did not care for video games. Since he was hanging out for the evening I decided to take the plunge and we went to our local Gamestop and I picked up the Wii and an extra controller. We went home and I hooked the console up and we spent the evening bowling. It was the most fun we'd had together since camping as kids.
This is the main reason I love the Wii, because Nintendo has done exactly what they set out to do - they have created a gaming console that gets you up, gets you involved, and gets people together. They should have stuck with their original name, because in this regard the Wii is definitely a revolution.




We have also started picking up some of the workout games and I really enjoy that. Who need to watch tv while you work out when you can just interact with a work out game.
We had an original model that ended up being defective after about 7 months (all of the games started freezing up), the process to ship to Nintendo and get a new one was quick and painless.
The recent price cuts and deals make this system even more valuable. Yes, it does not have all of the top of the line graphics and some games, but you do not need that for every system you own. We are PC gamers who supplement with goofy fun on our wii. With games like Wii Sports, Zelda, Mario Party 8, EA Active and more, kids, parents and even grandparents can find these games fun!








I know a lot of hardcore gamers are sitting around scratching their heads, wondering how anyone in their right mind could pass up a masterpiece like Mass Effect or GTA4 and settle for games as simplistic Boom Blox or Wii Sports. Well, some of us get to a point where we either feel like games are getting way too complex, or we decide that playing video games for 4-5 hours a day is just not a healthy lifestyle choice and/or something we no longer have time for. In my case, it was a little bit of both.
The Wii has the kind of games that I can pick up and play for a couple of hours, put it down, then pick it back up a few weeks later and not have to try and remember how the controls work, or having to backtrack because I forgot the storyline. And I don't have to watch 3 hours of cut scenes in between levels either. It is perfect for when I occasionally just want to kill and hour or two on a Saturday afternoon, as most of the games don't require a huge time commitment to get into them. Contrast that with something like GTA4, where you literally have to play for hours just to be introduced to all the game mechanics. Why go through all that when I can just throw in Geometry Wars and start having fun immediately?
When I had my 360, the only retail game I was playing was Guitar Hero... the rest were XBLA titles. That is when I decided that the Wii was probably a better fit for me, and I have not been disappointed Sure, the graphics aren't all that impressive and the online capabilities aren't as good, but I can live with that.
A really big plus with the Wii is that I can get my non-gaming friends to play with me when they come over. They wouldn't go anywhere near the 360 controller, but the Wii is much more accessible in that regard.
I think the biggest thing I appreciate about the Wii though is how QUIET it is! The 360 sounds like a dying calf in a snowstorm when it's turned on; the only time I hear anything from my Wii is when a disc is spinning up. But even then, it's quieter than the 360 was when it was idling.
UPDATE: I have since re-purchased a 360 and sold my Wii, primarily because my TV died and I decided not to replace it, and I could hook the 360 to my PC monitor via the HDMI port. (The Wii has neither an HDMI port or a VGA adapter.) Plus Geometry Wars 2 was calling my name :)
But the other reason for this is because 95% of the 3rd party offerings for the Wii are crap, and Nintendo doesn't seem interested in catering to casual gamers over the age of 12. I'm not the kind of person who requires blood and gore to make me happy (in fact, I don't really like that sort of thing), but I got tired of playing games with furry characters and pastel colors. I'm not saying those are bad, but it just gets old after awhile.

For gamers, this system offers excellent games that allow you to play in an innovative way. What's better than actually aiming to shoot something? Duck hunt anyone? This would be enough of a reason to get it, especially considering the price compared with the Playstation 3 and X-box 360. Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy (and more) rival the best games on any system. In addition to these new games you can get Super Nintendo classics for $5 a piece and Nintendo 64 classics for $10 on Virtual Console. Super Mario World, Super Mario 3, Donkey King Country, Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, etc. Are you kidding me? These are some of the best games ever made! And you no longer have to break out your old system and spend 20 minutes blowing the dust out and tweaking the cartridges to get them to turn on. When you look at the other systems, their games always have a bunch of hype and then, with the exception of a handful, the games are disappointing. You read those reviews and they all have the same continuing theme: the graphics are great but the game isn't very innovative or it's so big that it gets redundant. The Wii keeps bringing out high quality games with variety. Also, more and more developers are concentrating on the Wii because of its popularity and the creative opportunities, so the games will keep on coming.
This system has really been marketed for non-gamers and for good reason. My Dad actually played tennis and had a good time. He's never gone near a video game in his life. My non-gamer friends also love coming over and playing. I must admit, although I've been an avid nintendo fan since the days of the original nintendo, these casual get togethers are by far my favorite type of gaming. The Wii offers a ton of games for getting groups together: Mario Party 8, Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic Olympic Games, Smarty Pants.
It should be noted for those who haven't owned a video game system before (who are good candidates for the Wii) that it only comes with one complete controller (remote and nunchuck) and the rest have to be purchased separately. At $40 per remote and $20 per nunchuck, it adds up. With any system, you have to buy extra controllers, but a complete Wii controller is slightly more expensive than controllers for other systems since it has the complete motion sensitivity. Unlike other systems, there is enough in the box to start playing right away for one person at a time. If you are planning on taking advantage of the virtual console games (and you should) they may require a $20 classic controller as well.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the motion-sensor bar simply consists of a couple of infra-red points (read: heat). It basically would work the same of you put two candles in the same location (which has been tested by people successfully). Therefore any other concentrated points of heat are going to interfere with the motion control including candles, and in the case of my apartment, the heat being on (the radiator is only a few feet from where I sit to play). This is something that has only recently became frustrating as it's gotten colder. I imagine that for many, this wouldn't be an issue, but something like a space heater will likely be a problem.
Overall, it's the best system (and best value) out there for anyone except perhaps for the gamers who just wants the same old games with better graphics.
