Well, the Wii is a good console, but the motion controls work poorly and the games are for 3 year olds. Kirby's Epic YARN?!?!?!?! Get a PS3 unless your 2. If you want motion controls, wait for the sony move.

This console has a lot of potential. But, Nintendo chose to focus on the casual/party gamer rather than on people who like to play detailed/challenging games. It's a smart move because people quickly get bored with unchallenging games and buy new ones as a result. This means more $ for Nintendo. After having a Wii for almost 1 year, I've only kept one game that I've bought. After learning my lesson, I'll never buy a game before renting it first.
I don't mean to sound too negative because that one game I kept is probably my favorite game of all time and the motion controls are better than just clicking buttons and moving a joystick. But, things could be better. For example, one of the strengths of the console is the online play because it's much more fun to play against another person than it is to play against the computer. Unfortunately, the online play is being destroyed by hackers who either cheat to win or just do it to make sure everybody else is miserable. Nintendo can do something about it and has temporarily punished the Mario Kart hackers a few times. However, after a few days, those people are back online and still hacking. So, I give the Wii 5 stars for innovativeness and 1 or 2 stars for games and online play.

A family gaming system that is O.K. With all the hype I was expecting more. Most games are geared towards little kids, which was to be expected. Why no HD? Many people that rate it 5 stars say "It's the game play not graphics" I agree to a point, but in this day and age there is no excuse not to have HD and to me it only enhances the game play experience. And if it's game play the're worried about then I'm sorry to say that I have found few games I consider fun. The sports games are fun but the redundent motion gets old quick. The bowling is fun when having a party! For ages 4-9 and 50+. My wife likes it but I will stick with my 360.

Although Nintendo is somewhat of a household name for someone of my age (>40), I never really thought of getting myself a console. If I play games, I always played (and still do) them on a (high-end) computer. All that changed when I first saw the wii demoed shortly before christmas 2006. What intrigued me was their truly innovative game controller design (yes, boys love toys), and the way they integrated into the games (I saw demos from the wii sports series).
So, on a whim, I decided on getting myself a wii, without really knowing what I got myself into. For even measure I threw in a second controller (I seldom play alone), and a title I seemed to recognize: Legends of Zelda. The box I purchased came with wii sports, and the second controller came with wii play.
Please note that I have no experience with regard to other consoles, and the following is purely my experience I derived from playing with wii.
First of all, the device is easy to set up. The console's design and manual make it clear that this is a mature product from a company that has a lot of experience creating consumer devices. You can't, for example, accidentally mix up plugs. The only thing that I did not like was the flimsy wire that connetcs the console to the sensor strip (which looks like an accident waiting to happen). Plug in power, plug in sensor strip (this was the most difficult, as I could not decide where to put it for best performance. As it turned out, I shouldn't have bothered. It works no matter where I place it), connect to TV, pair with controllers, and I was ready to go. Using the controllers is strange at first, and using them as pointing device has nowhere near the precision I have come to expect from a mouse. During set-up of the console I thought that this did not bode well for game play later on. Again, I should not have worried. Most games don't rely on the pointing abilities of the controller but on it's motion detection. A very nice feature of the controllers is the feedback (both aural and tactile) it gives at various moments (e.g. it slightly vibrates when your pointer is over a clickable button, or chimes when your console becomes active in two-player bowling).
I tried the Sports games first. Yes, I've heard the stories. And laughed at those poor saps. And yet, it only took me a few minutes to stare sheepishly at my controller dangling from the wrist strap. I let go while bowling. It is a testament to the game that it becomes so immersive so quckly that you forget what you are doing. Going on to baseball I barely managed to dodge my friends swing. It was forceful. And executed in blissful forgetfulness that I was but a few feet away. I knew then that even though potentially harmful, this was real fun.
The wii also comes with built-in WiFi, which was a surprise to me. It connected without any problems to an open access point, but required a little more work to connect to my secure wireless network. I have not yet tried to access the internet (save for two firmware updates that the wii performed flawlessly), but I'm delighted to see that it works.
Something I also like in this console is their fun and friendly (and sometimes slightly over-protective) way they approach gaming. I really like the 'toy shop' atmosphere surrounding the device, which appears to be a stark contrast to the overbearing, testosterone-suffused "GAME THIS!" attitude that other consoles seem to exude (perhaps one of the reasons I never looked at other consoles). I already have that, and more, in my workstation (which it well should. That beast's graphics card alone has triple the price tag of the wii). The wii, on the other hand, is petite, white, and, strangely enough, seems to actually *look* happy. It appears to emphasize fun, not performance.
Accordingly, the wii's graphics are nothing much to write home about. Somehow, though, I find it strangely appealing. Even though the graphics are simplistic, it is the way the games are presented, and the way I can get immersed through it's game controllers. I'm having more fun waving that little white stick about than I've had in a long time of precisely pointing my mouse.
All in all I am really delighted by this console. I won't play shooters on it (for that I have my computer), but the interactive sports and party games are so much fun (and a positive danger to anyone near you should you choose not to be careful) that I simply cannot resist them. I wholeheartly recommend this console to everyone. If possible, try to get a demo at your local store. Beware -- you might be hooked immediately.

This is an excellent product. Connects easily to a tv and setup is fast. Definitely opt to get a second controller. Along with the amusement of playing video games, this unit works flawlessly with Netflix. Great activity for parties and social events.

I had to send it into nintendo repairs TWICE to get it to play a copy of Metriod Trilogy. Test your wii with smash bros or metriod trilogy while it is still under warranty! You may have to have it repaired in order to play those games.The first time I sent it in they just sent me a new wii (with the same problem). The second time they actually took the time to clean the lens and it works now.

I have played Wii at my friends house and have found that it is both fun and provides exercise without having to go out of the house. Friends come over and we have something besides TV and board games to do. The games you can play on a Wii are for all ages. My gendsons will be enjoying this Wii game just as much as my older friends. It was a good investment since I live in a remote place.

I ordered the Wii, Wii Fit Plus with balance board, an extra nunchuck, and extra controller on Monday Nov. 16th. The Wii Fit came on Wed. Nov. 18th, and the rest on Thurs Nov 19th! Talk about FAST shipping!! I was very satisfied with my purchase and also took advantage of the free Amazon.com $50 gift card offer, since I was already planning on buying both the Wii & Wii Fit Plus anyway. Another perk! Overall, very very satisfied with Amazon.com!
The Wii itself is very fun, and definitely a family gaming system. It gets you off the couch, and even people who have never used video games will find it easy to use after a short while. It's not really for a serious gamer, as there aren't many action/fantasy games out there for Wii. This is perfect for everyone else. I bought the WiiFit Plus for my mom and I to use and we just started, but already love it! Very cool stuff...I can't wait to use more of it!
Side note: My boyfriend just bought the game "Punch Out" for Wii, and it's quite fun and a work-out as well. Good game for everyone!

The Wii with Wii Sports Resort comes with a MotionPlus controller, nunchuk, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. You get everything you got with the original Wii, and more. Not to mention you now have the option to purchase it in black. I've had a lot of fun playing the different games with friends and family.

I bought this Wii to replace an older one that broke (power surge). I was pleasantly surprised with the inclusion of Internet channel as a free product and WiiSports Resort is a pretty neat addition to the pack. Overall a good product.

I owned a Wii for approximately half a year. Ultimately, I sold it. This review is written from the perspective of a long-time gamer. I currently own a Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. If you are new to video games, a casual gamer, or are hopping on the latest fad this may not apply to you.
What's Right:
The control scheme is a breath of fresh air. It does allow new ways to affect gameplay. The controller itself is the star, with many unique features such as: Bluetooth connectivity, on-board memory (allows you to take saved "Miis" with you), and on-board speaker. The console itself is compact. It won't eat up much room around your television.
What's Wrong:
The control scheme works great - for a while. Eventually you notice that every game uses the same handful of movements over and over again. This leads to tedious gameplay. The new control scheme and Wii demographic has pulled unknown developers out of the woodwork looking to make a quick buck. This has led to a large library of rather poor games. The system is littered with titles which are mostly a grouping of mini-games. They tend to be very shallow because of this. Any deep game will force you to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuck in tandem to simulate a conventional controller in many ways. You might swing or aim the controller every once and while, but ultimately, any full-featured game will rely upon a rather conventional control scheme. Unfortunately, it seems that almost all decent titles for the system were created by Nintendo themselves. Historically, Nintendo doesn't create new and exciting franchises. This leads to more of the same games you've seen rehashed generation after generation. Yes, you be playing even more Mario, Metriod, Zelda, etc. Nintendo's online play is all but nil at this point. Only a couple of games support online multiplayer and its implementation is extremely poor.
This leads me to the hardware. There are a few trouble areas. When the Wii is left in a low-power state for 24 hour internet connectivity (WiiConnect24) the unit itself gets extremely warm. The sensor bar used to determine the location of the television relative to the Wii Remote can be problematic at times. It is susceptible to interference and its range can be rather limited - a concern when used with a larger television set. Additionally, the calibration options for the on-screen cursor are limited to "Above TV" and "Below TV". Neither one seems right and a nicer tweaking system would be much appreciated. The graphics are poor. Hooking the console up to a nice new HDTV is a giant let-down. Nintendo's inclusion of composite cables seems antiquated. Be prepared to purchase additional output cables if you have a new television or you will suffer degraded image quality.
The Bottom Line:
This system was designed for non-gamers and children. This shows in the lack of processing power, simplified setup options, lack of useful accessories, and limited game library. While the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 feel like powerful home media centers with feature-rich, deep, and stunning games, the Wii seems like a gimmicky toy. Perhaps that is its appeal. It is easily approachable. Unfortunately, this leads to the fun ending quickly as you realize you've already experienced everything the system is capable of.

I love playing this and it is good exercise. I golf better on it then in real life and also bowl better. I bought the Tiger Woods golf game because I wanted more courses to play on. I would recomend it for anybody that would like something fun to do inside when the weather outside is bad.

I have owned 6 different gaming consoles. All of the Nintendo's and the Playstations. The Wii beats them all! The assortment of games offered are amazing and the get up off the couch playing is totally a plus. Though don't over do it...my arms were killing me after the first night. The Wii is easy to set up and understand. The controller took a few tries to get use to (never played with a wireless).
My husband and I play everyday and we even have Wii date nights. If you are buying for children (especially if you have couch potatoes) the Wii is it. There are plenty of kid friendly games to choose from plus most of the games are fun for adults. I know because I bought some for myself. The price is good and you wont be a lump on the couch.

If you have a PS3 and a plasma over 32" and appreciate HD you will be sickened by the Wii. The graphics are tragically horrid. The lack of response in the controllers compared to other gaming system is also not an appreciated attribute. That said, if you are considering this for your 5 year old or you really like to be active this is the system for you! The games that involve activity just don't exist outside the Wii in the same manner so for that fact alone it's worth the purchase if you want to move around. If you seek aesthetics and rapid response stick with XBox 360 or Playstation 3.

What I like about the Wii console as mentioned by previous users is that there are a wide variety of games to choose from. It's best feature in my eyes is the fact that many of the games expect you to be more interactive, than your standard game where you sit and do nothing but become involved in a game.
I can see why hard core gamers may criticize the console, because they have high expectations from the other two systems out on the market. What makes the Wii unique is that it caters to both hard core games and those wanting a quick diversion. There are games to meet both type of users.
The different remotes and the physical interaction make this possibly one of the most unique systems out there. I know gamers may expect the high resolution pictures and intense gaming experiences, but if you're looking for something new, a console that allows for group players, or wish to experience the physical games such as Wii Sports and Wii Fit Plus, you will not be disappointed.

Hi, don't buy Wii play, it's pretty bad. My 5-year-old played it once and hasn't touched it since...neither have I. The games are pretty bad, especially ping-pong.
