Simply blown away. I must admit, I rarely write reviews, but with consoles being so pricey, we all need to hear enough info to make a decision on which one to go for. I picked up a Wii on Launch Day - 11/19 along with Zelda Twilight Princess, and here's my take:
This is the MOST sensory encompassing video game experience to date. Pure user interface genious. You WILL feel more like you are in-the-game than EVER before!
- For the novice:
You have to deal with no more than two buttons in each hand (most of the time), one control stick, and a few wrist flicks. While the motion sensitive activies change the range of motion (sword attacks take different motion swings than shooting an arrow, or fishing), the motion is how you would think it would be -- I'm pulling and winding my reel when fishing, and swinging my arm and stabbing when sword fighting. Don't worry, the beginning is basically a tutorial teaching you how to use the controller (although, the fishing explanation confused me, not having played the last two Zelda games -- if you get stuck, try dropping your rod in the water, waiting for the bobber to go under, then yank the remote back toward you like you're trying to pull in a big fish).
- For the hardcore gamer:
You have 4 motion sensing moves across 2 hands, doubled when you have A-button pressed, plus they change for each weapon/item, providing you a wide range of "activities" to master. Plus the IR sensor provides a target to shoot slingshot bullets and other ranged weapons. Also, there are +/-, 1, 2 buttons for maps, menu options, and other utility screens.
- For the socialite:
The Wii has a message system, digital avatars which you can share with your friends and parade around, a digital photo sharing system, and soon weather and news headlines across the country.
- Cons:
Message System: Text typing is tedious -- Nintendo needs a word recognition program similar to cell phones.
Remote Control: Recommended distance from the sensor is 2'-8'. My couch is ~ 12'-15'. The control actually works suitably from that range except for the IR sensor. The screen target, moved by the IR on the front of the remote, jiggles due to the distance.
Weather & News Aren't Available Yet: It says I need to download an update, but when I do, it then says there is none to download. (I expect Nintendo will fix this soon enough w/ a software patch).
4-Player Mayhem: I have yet to test four adults jammed together in the 2'-8' fan of controller recognition space while flailing their arms to work the motion sensor and see if it works flawlessly. I'm worried about my 6', 250lb buddies bumping into each other as they use the motion sensors. We'll see...
- Overall:
While the graphics pale in comparison to the PS3, the new user interface makes you feel more into the game than EVER before. You don't get the best of both worlds with the SIXAXIS controller of the PS3 -- it just can't do the motion sensing like two separate controls - remote & nunchuk can provide. This has really rejuvinated my gaming desire more than any other launch system. All these years, we've been getting graphical facelifts, when finally, Nintendo has decided to perform a complete body overhaul. Graphics aren't the only important aspect of gaming -- don't believe me? Try the Wii.
- Tips:
1) Gamecube controllers and memnory cards are ONLY used for GC games. You can't use the Wii controller, nor it's internal 512MB memory.
2) Wii Classic controller is used with a remote to wirelessly play the classic games that you download -- Nintendo, SNES, Genesis, Turbographics 16, N64. But you can use the gamecube controllers to play the classic games.
3) Any SD memory card will work -- you don't need any special Wii only card that costs $$$ because it has Wii stamped on the packaging.
4) It has plenty of parental controls to make sure your kids are only talking to their friends, and to prevent them from buying every virtual console game listed there without your password.

I got the wii a couple of years ago and i love it. It has many new features on it like wireless remotes, wi-fi online play, stores, channels, miis, motion remotes, exercise games, and weather channel. It has a great store that u can go to to buy old classic games with points and play them on the wii. There r many channles to use and buy too like weather, photo, mii that u get to make ur own people, news, and many, many more that u can buy. Its graphics r not as good as the ps3, and xbox 360 but it has great graphics for nintindo. The sound is awsome and very clear. It is very fun to play multiplayer on it. U can either store memory on the wii itself or use memory cards. Which it holds more than enough space. U can also play the GC games on it and hook up GC remotes to play GC games or use them on multiplayer games. The only thing i do not like about it is that it does not play any movies or music.

I was very disappointed when my son opened his present and set it up and it didn't work. Nothing the manual suggested we do worked. It has been resolved(by calling the Wii company) but he had to wait more than a week to play it.

I have to admit that I was sceptical about the Nintendo Wii. Have now owned all three of the next generation consoles. Had an Xbox 360 first. The graphics and games were great, however, very noisy and unreliable. Most of the "good" games are M or MA rated and pretty much "solo player" games. Sold the Xbox 360 on eBay after upgrading our TV which included a PS3. The PS3 is great. Fantastic graphics, games & as a media centre including Blue-Ray it rates A +++. However, my wife did not like our 5 year old son playing on it as he became very "self absorbed" in the games. So we got a Wii. WOW!!! Set-up could not have been easier. Normally after opening these well marketed & packaged boxes I am all cables & settings. It takes ages to get up and running and then there is always some set-up issue. Not with the Wii. After plugging it into our TV it just worked. And then we played. Not just my 5 year old. Not just me. But my wife too!! I have never played a video game standing up and then sweating afterwards. THIS IS FUN!! Not at all frustrating like some video games can be. They have nailed the whole package in my opinion. The Wi-Fi worked out of the box. The controller is genius. Sure the graphics are not Xbox 360 or PS3, however, they are still pretty good and quite impressive in games like de Blob. The Wii Console also looks great, is small, and fits in well with your TV setup. It is also very quite and reliable. Well done Nintendo. Our family is converted & my wife no longer hates video games!

I purchased this for my kids as a christmas gift this year. After we have tried it out it is a lot of fun for my kids and my husband and I even enjoy playing it. Its just not the typical sit down and play games type of gaming unit and that is why I really like it.

This Wii system was a gift for my daughter. She doesn't have much time to enjoy it because of her schooling and job. But she is certainly looking for more games to purchase.

You can not, I repeat can not compare the Wii with Xbox 360 or the PS3. If you want to complain about fastedness of hardware, then get a souped up computer gaming system. Not even the xbox or playstation can compare to that either. For those who were disappointed from "hype", then don't blame the console for your own emotional purchase.
Nintendo knew they could NOT compete with graphics and hardware, so they went with interesting sensor abilities and intuitive game play.
Both my husband and I have been nerdy game players in the past. We've experienced graphics heaven in some of them. Yeah yeah, so the Wii doesn't wow you with it's graphics. I honestly don't care. I KNOW what top notch graphics play is. I'm realistic that this cute system just wasn't meant for that. It makes up for it in affordability and great playability. If you think the Wiimote isn't sensitive enough, Nintendo has created addons to it to remedy it. (not that I've had issue with it).
I have 10 games that are all mostly interesting to play. I'll name off the ones I enjoy if you decide to purchase some with your new console. Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, Resident Evil, (for the guys) Zelda. IF! you have friends over, this is the best way to go. People at any level can enjoy this game gonsole; the more the merrier. Super Mario Kart is a blast with a couple glasses of wine and few people to lightly haze as you compete!
Moms, don't be discouraged by the gamer's critiques. The REAL gamers would be keeping to their own forums anyway.

My brothers and I got this system about two years ago for christmas. We were very excited about it. When we finnaly did get it, witch took forever becuase Nintendo only let so many out so it would be high in demand (witch was very annoying), we had a blast. Now, it sits in a closet unused, except occasionally when a friend comes over and wants to try it. When I want to play vidoe games I want to sit down and relax, but with the Wii you have to always be moving around. Also, they have hardly any fun games. Now we have an Xbox 360 and we love it. We've had it close to a year now and still have fun with it. Microsoft does a great job making fun games, and not making to many of the same ones (give Mario a break for once). Notice how Microsoft didn't knew when to stop at Halo 3. So if you have smaller children, get them a Wii. Otherwise get them a 360.
EDIT: If you have never owned a Nintendo console they used to be great. It is 2009 and I still play with my N 64. Some of the best games that were ever made were with Nintendo, but they have begun to soil their name sadly. I think Microsoft is the way to go nowadays (The PS3 is way over priced and they have very few exclusive games.)
All that being said, Nintendo does a fantastic job with hand-helds.

I've had a Wii long enough now to give it a serious review.
Overall, it is a nice console with more promise than real entertainment value. The user interface for the system menus and functions is intuitive. I have fun flailing the Wiimote around; it is a refreshing change from the thumb-wiggling on the Playstation 2, XBox, and Playstation Portable.
However, the Wiimote can be very touchy and it can be quite hard to keep the cursor on the screen, let alone pointed at a specific target. I've gone through all the configuration and calibration menus with no real improvement, and have seen the same problem on friends' Wiis, so I know this isn't a fluke but is a systemic problem. This issue implies that games that do not rely on aiming tend to be much more fun than ones that do. It also means that navigating menus can be a frustrating chore.
I currently own five games: Wii Sports, Wii Play, Red Steel, Metroid Prime 3, and Raving Rabbids. Wii Sports, the game that comes with the Wii console, is a keeper. Notably, almost all the sub-games in Wii Sports don't involve aiming. The Tennis, Golf, and Bowling sub-games are very enjoyable.
Beyond Sports, however, none of the other games are ones I'd consider great, or even above-par. They all suffer from aiming problems and in addition simply don't keep my interest. Compared to titles coming out for the XBox 360 and PS3, they feel very outdated. Even compared to PS2 and XBox games, they're nothing special. Worse still, they're not FUN, and that's what I expect from Wii games. I'm not looking for the storyline of Halo or Half-Life, or the sprawling playground of Grand Theft Auto. I'm just looking for a pleasant diversion, and an excuse to jump and flail around like a fool. The current Wii games that I own don't deliver on that.
I bought most of these games based on glowing 5-star reviews I read on Amazon, and I have to say that the reviews really led me astray. I've rarely had this problem when buying games for the PS2, XBox, or PSP; generally the Amazon reviews of games for these platforms are quite helpful.
I was thinking about buying the latest Mario title, which also gets 5-star reviews, but now I'm wary of spending more money on Wii games without testing them myself first, which means that it will probably be quite a while before I buy another one.
I hope that the game developers figure out how to work with the Wiimote and nunchuk more effectively. I can't help but feel that the basic Wii interface idea is a good one, but it still needs polish.

Yep, I am yet another mom who bought the Wii to get my son up off the couch. And I am so glad that I did! My 6 year old son loves the video game console, and there are plenty of games that he is able to navigate more or less on his own.
I read reviews of EVERYTHING before I buy and am more than grateful to the Amazon community for providing endless reviews on anything I might want. BUT, I am so tired of reading "gamers" reviews of the Wii and criticizing the moms of Amazon for buying our kids the Wii. I am thankful that we live in a world where video games are designed for KIDS too!
We love to play Wii sports together! My son is sometimes physically tired before the game is even over, but always comes back for more! I've even been playing tennis and boxing after he's in bed at night! The workout is no exchange for riding bikes at the park or playing an actual game of baseball, and it certainly holds no candle to a trip to the gym. But it does have that video game feel to it that keeps us coming back for more!
We have other games too. We love the Wii-mote sensor controls! It's so much more fun to swing the remote as a sword or flick it up to throw a ball than to simply press a button. Well, for a mom and kid anyway. Maybe not those hard core gamers out there! ;)
An added bonus is that the Wii is compatible with GameCube games. You just have to buy the gamecube controller. We were able to purchase many used games at a much cheaper rate than any Wii game out there.
The Wii is a great addition to any family friendly home!
