I applaud Nintendo's genius marketing scheme. I mean just amazing...they are winning the video game console wars by targeting the non-gamer crowd. As an owner of all three systems, I still play my wii for the SNES and N64 games, but I wish I'd have known that is all it would be used for. If you do get a Wii...don't miss Mario Galaxy, it's a great game, and the only reason I can even offer the wii 2 stars. In short if you are really looking for a great new console...get the PS3. Seriously the most amazing video games system ever made. The price difference is not really as extreme as people like to say it is, just keep your eyes open for a good sale. I'd recommend the XBox360 but with a nearly 40% failure rate...it's just not a wise choice.

Great price and fast delivery.










Unfortunately, a lot of the online features will not be available until late December/early January, but I knew this prior to launch day, so it wasn't that big of a disappointment. The Opera browser isn't yet available, but when it is, it will be free until June 2007 in the Shopping Channel, which is found within the Wii's main menu. Also in the Shopping Channel is Virtual Console. Through Virtual Console, the Wii-user may purchase Wii Points (1USD = 100 points), which is the currency used to purchase classic games of Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, N64 and TurboGrafx16 fame. Currently, Nintendo has only been releasing a few of these at a time every Monday, and there weren't very many out to start on launch day. What games are available, however, are great titles. I've personally been taking advantage of the available TG16 titles such as Super Star Soldier since I'd never had the console.
The Weather and News Channels also are not up yet and will not be until late December/early January. Through the Photo Channel, you can store and edit (to some extent) photos on your Wii. You can also send photos to other Wii-friends. I've also found that your Wii is given an e-mail address (w+wiicode@wii.com), which you can send photos to if you do not have an sd-card. However, you must use an sd card for mp3s and movs (the only audio and video formats I believe work on the Wii) as there are size limitations and file restrictions. The Mii Channel is a fun way to create characters that resemble yourself or others. You can send your Mii to your friends, and you can set your Miis to "mingle," which will enable all Miis on your Mii Plaza (including those sent to you) to be sent to everyone on your friends list to a place called the "Mii Parade" in which they can choose to keep them or dispose of them (sad.)
Of the Wiimote, I've found it to be completely intuitive and not in the least intimidating or difficult to control. Wii Sports is a great introduction to using the Wii-mote, but it definitely just isn't a demonstration of how to use it. I still avidly play Wii Sports by myself and with others and I forsee myself continuing to do so for a very long time. I've barely started Zelda: Twilight Princess because of finals, but, what I've played of it is completely and literally awesome. I still plan on picking up my Gamecube version of the title, but the Wii controls are perfect for this title. There's one major difference between the Wii and Gamecuve versions: Link is now right-handed, for the first time ever in the Wii version. This change was, of course, made because most people are right-handed and the controls rely on the Wii-mote. Although I am right-handed, I kind of wish they hadn't made this change or, at least, made a left or right handed preference choice like in Wii Sports. For those of you familiar with the DS title Trauma Center, I recommend picking it up for the Wii. It's the same story-line but with a few differences and some bonus levels added in. The controls are more forgiving than in the DS version, but overall, it's actually a bit harder.
I don't know how to end this review, but I should really get back to studying for finals so that I may fully deserve my Zelda-fest come next week! For all of you who don't have such obligations, go play Wii!


The Nintendo Wii is the newest console from Japanese gaming manufacturer Nintendo. The console is 249.99 and with it comes a controller, a nunchuk controller add on, a sensor bar, a console stand, all necessary cables, and the Wii Sports game. Now, the biggest factors in determining the value of a console is the advantages it presents over the previous generation (for nintendo, the gamecube) and the competition (the Microsoft Xbox360 and Sony playstation 3. Let's take a look at these step by step:
Hardware Design: One of the biggest issues with the gamecube was its toy like design. It shipped in a purple box design complete with a handle that made it look better suited for carrying a child's lunch to school than playing games. The Nintendo Wii is a perfect upgrade. Fans of Apple's design will fall in love with this system. It is small and rectangular a glossy white finish. By far the most compact console of this generation, the 360 and ps3 are gargantuine next to it. All three look good for sure, but only the Wii will slip into that last place in your crammed electronics cabnet. In addition, the Wii plays all your favorite gamecube games, complete with a dock on top for controllers and memory cards, as well as an SD card slot on the front.
System capabilities: The gamecube shipped with a powerful chip set that allowed for such technical marvels as Resident Evil 4. By comparison, the Wii is roughly 2-3 times as powerful. This means we will see beautiful games that weren't possible on the gamecube. The Wii supports 480p, 16:9 widescreen, and Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound to help maximize your gaming experience. The only problem is that these specs are a far cry from the 720p Dolby Digital enhanced Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. No folks, Wii games won't as good as those systems, but it can look comparable with time and a few technical tricks. In addition, the Wii supports 802.11 Wifi with the Wii connect 24 system that enables downloads and online play. Although the onine store is up and running, the multiplayer isn't quite there.
Controller: By far the largest advantage of the Wii is its new controller. This controller wirelessly acts with the sensor bar, console, and built in gyroscopes/accelorometers to detect every single motion you make, wether subtle or exaggerated, precise or clumbsy. This allows for intuitive, fresh, interactive gameplay that has never before been possible. This is shown immedietly upon booting up Wii sports. Point and click to select your game, then go through the motions like in real life to play. Its a blast. The included nunchuk has the same motion capabilities (minus the pointing) and adds an analog stick and 2 extra buttons for more complex games. A normal controller feels obsolete after playing on Wii. This, combined with the price, is what makes the Wii a better value than its competitors. My only complaint with the controller is its built in speaker, which sounds tinny and annoying. The Wii has support of up to four of these babies to allow for multiplayer fun.
Overall, the Wii is an outstanding console that will be even better once its online system is up and running. If you are looking for lifelike graphics and HD output, you may want to look elsewhere. If you are looking for an interactive gaming experience fun for the most hardcore and casual, the Wii is for you.


Enjoy!!!


However, I admit that some games are fun and done well and it does continue the Nintendo tradition.
Not long from now, another version of the Wii will be released that is backwards compatible, so don't bother buying this one at all anymore.
