Love it!! The tennis, the golf, the bowling, they're so much fun! Possibilities are limitless for additional games, we've added Rock Band, and I think Wii Fit will be next! LOVE IT! Very easy to set up and use. Very versatile, with an internet connection, it does even more.

My wife played the game Nintendo forces all WII buyers to play: waiting for one to be in stock. It's been well over a year, but Nintendo wants us to believe that they can't manage to meet demand, which is rubbish, as every other manufacturer of every other product can manage it. So she called numerous stores each day for several weeks, finally finding a store that had gotten a shipment. They wouldn't hold it for her ("against WII store policy") so she raced over and bought it, along with a second controller and some games.
The console looks and feels flimsy, which we now know it is. Friends had warned us that these units break easily, so we treated it very carefully. Nevertheless, the unit died after 5 months, refusing to load a disk and deleting our saved games. It's just my wife and I being careful with it; I can only image what kids would do to it.
This was doubly terrible. I was nearly done with Lara Croft, and my wife with Zelda. We lost all that work. The thought of having to wade through the less interesting levels just to get back to where we were is not fun.
We should have listened to our friends, who said to get an XBOX or a PS3. We didn't, and now have to get the unit fixed, but neither of us wants to deal with that, or with getting back to where we were with the previous games, or even playing long games again knowing how likely it is to break.
Was it fun while it is working? Yes.
Was it fun when it breaks? No.
Would we do it again knowing what we now know? No.
Do yourself a favor and consider this purchase carefully. Now consider it again. It is an expensive unit, with expensive games and accessories. It really should last.

I have to say first off that I am professor that teaches digital media at SMWC.edu (look it up if you want), it wasnt going to be long before I had to pick up the next gen consoles and start really looking at them physically for next semesters classes on interactive design. Ive read the stats for months now, know the pros and cons of all of them, can talk long winded hours on each of them. They all have their strengths. However, standing here, in my living room, roughly 3 days after hooking up the wii next to the other two next gens, and watching the reaction it gets from my friends, their kids, even their wives/husbands... its really hands down as far as which is getting more traffic.
Now we know the graphics arguement. But you really REALLY have to consider this thought process.... what do graphics matter if the game play is no different then it was on the past generation? If there is no difference in response, in condition, then the development is purely surface. A common theory is that we have entered into a stage of development where we dont create new, we simply improve upon the old.
Wii may be an improvement on old concepts, but it is a new. It is not simply wireless remote with tilt response. it is a vast responsive system. It measures speed, and angle, gyration. its connection to the system is very tight. I had my doubts about how responsive it would be.. I was foolish to doubt.
Going back to graphics and game play. The demo disc (wii sports) that was included is a good example of group play. Bowling and golf are very strong titles, offering complex control of your tilt and curve of your remote. In bowling, A friend of mine has a wicked slice and was able to simulate that perfectly by going through the same motions he does when he bowls. Same story with golf.
Tennis and Baseball is about your swing. You dont control the physical movement of your player, done automatically, but it shows the potential. Also your pitch is influence by your throw style as well.
Boxing requires the most response from the control system, and for the most part delivers. In the heat of the fight, you tend to move less controlled, and the remote wont throw a punch unless it is a solid punch/jab, so half-a** punchs dont always register... DONT TAKE THIS the wrong way, its very minor and not often this happens.
Again, the graphics are not PS3/360 level... but why do they need to be. We arent talking atari 4600 or ps1 level here. We are talking crisp graphics that even the ps2 would have balked at. smooth lines, blurs, clean. Its nice and eye pleasing.
Outside the game, you can make your own avatar (mii) for you and your friends, if you have internet, you can set them to wander other systems, and in the end you can even have mii visitors. The virtual console channel (its all set around channels) lets you buy new games from older consoles, so if you have the option, buy the classic controller (it hooks to the remote, so its wireless) too. cost is no more then [..] per game, so enjoy the potential that is supposed to grow weekly (wait and see). More channels like weather, news, and browser, are to be unlocked through january... here's hoping for more.
So, if I didnt own all of them what would I do? Buy the wii first. BEST all around FUN machine. The graphics are pretty, the game play is tight, and the enjoyment certainly lasted a LOT longer then it did on the others. More then this, it fulfilled its promise, people who arent gamers were playing, laughing, and having fun. And then they did something else, they wanted to come back and play it more.

I actually got this about eight months ago and have just now decided to give a review. I have to say first off getting this was such a pain it is so popular that hardly any store had it in stock but I finally lucked out. Inside the box you had the Wii console,one wireless remote and nun chuck set,a power and video cables,a sensor bar,and finally a multi sports game disk.You'll find putting this together is pretty easy it finds the remote easily and the sensor bar for tracking the movement of the remote worked great as well. The console has a wireless network for it to go online for updates or to shop at the nintendo wii virtual store if you have a computer most people realize you have to give the console an IP address as well as Default Gateway and Subnet Mask especially if you have multi-computers networked to you're modem. I myself first tried to have the console find these addresses automatically but ended up having to do it manually especially for the IP address. After that was taking care of though it found the updates easily and I was also able to shop online at the wii virtual store. The console allows you to play you're gamecube games as well and you can play the old nintendo,super nintendo,sega genesis,or nintendo 64 games you downloaded from the virtual store. The wii plays great and I have already gotten such great
games such as Super Mario Party 8,Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess,and Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix the games play great and they read the remote and nun chuck controls excellently. The video is good but don't expect quality like the Xbox 360 or PS3 the wii has the lowest video graphics of these three systems that by no means lessens the quality of this system but again don't expect breakthrough video on these
games to much. So I say if you can get this system as soon as possible and if you can find one in a store since their still selling like crazy...GOOD LUCK

The wii is great and it has a lot of good features but the games that you buy in stores can be a little pricey. I have had my wii for a little less than 6 months and I'm already bored with my games. But I have found some fun in the Wii Shopping Channel. You can buy old games and new games from $5-$15 which is great compared to the $30-$50 games in stores. Other than that the Wii itself is great with some interesting channels.
I hope this helps.

We got this system in dec. 07 for our family. by march 08 just a few months later we had to send the wii in for repair because it was scratching our discs--and super mario galaxy now wont play at all. nintendo is very good at repairing the systems etc. so we sent it in and 6 days later we have our wii back. now the only problem i had with this is that the game was sent back with the scratches and still wont play. i am a bit upset about it, as its my kids favorite game. ok so here are the pros to the wii
pros: inexpensive gaming console
loads of fun to play
the sports game it comes with can keep you busy for hours, a few months later and we still play it together as a family.
good customer service
cons: the controller takes a while to get used to--but when you do get used to it, it is no longer a con but a pro--because this is the best setup ever.
games are a bit pricey but thats how all game systems are when they come out, make sure you try games before you buy or at least read many reviews as it really sucks to put out 50 bucks on a game that isnt good.
the batteries in the wii mote run out and you will have to have spare aa batteries on hand, to overcome this it is easier to get rechargeable batteries or the wiis charger and stand.
pay an extra 40 bucks per controller and 20 for nunchucks x3.
overall we love our wii, even though we had to send it in. but since we got it back, the games load tons faster than they did before.
if you register your wii on nintendo.com they extend your warranty by 3 months so instead of 1 year you will get 15 months. nintendo has excellent customer service but i highly recommend anyone who has a wii to register it so they will have their warranty in place just in case. also check your game discs often to make sure the system isnt messing up your games ie circular scratches. i am sending my game back in again to nintendo, and hopefully they will return it fixed or replaced. will update when this happens.

ok so the wii is really cool to play with like i mean who dosen't want one if you already have one you no that there are ups and downs to haveing a wii there fun and let you get up and move a little. on the down side.... ok well there really is no down side to having a wii there are so many more games to play and you get lots of excersies playing it like when you bowl its like your really bowling and for the golf lover picture this its raining out side and you and your friend want to go golfing but the bad weather keeps you inside just turn on your wii and let the fun begain its like your really golfing.
all my friends have wiis and they love them. when i go over we could spend hours playing tennis or boxing like a champ. i have even bettean my dad well mabey thats because i have lots of energy and he dosen't. my friends are very supportive that i don't have a wii and let me play as much as i like when i go over to there houses. now i no you might have some diffrent opinons but don't we all. if you can find one thing wronge with the we put it down so the whole world can see that even the wii has things wrong with it and nothing can be perfect.
now i am no game excpert but i say that the we is one of the worlds must advanced peace of gaming in history of gameing and i bet who ever designed it has made millons. but thats just a guess have you ever thought about making the next great gameing system or the newest coolest phone. that seems to be dreams for lots of kids or mabey its the money that gets them stated. oh i don't no but when you really think about it wiis are just another way to suke people dry.
many people think that giveing there money for a wii is giving money for a good cause well in a sense it is because you now own the most advaned gameing system in the world. people all over are waiting for stores to get in more wiis so people will wait months for them to come through mail. the games seem endless and alough its nice for the wii to have the light someday there will be an even better gaming system that will steal the wiis light.....

As stated over 1,000 times before mii, the Wii is a great system for hardcore gamers, those who've been playing games for a long time, or casual gamers, those who are either new to videogames or play "everybody can play" games. While Wii may not offer state of the art HD visuals, it more than makes up for that with its intuitive gameplay and artistic graphics. In Wii Sports, if you want to hit a baseball with a bat, you swing the Wiimote just as you'd a real bat, etc... the list goes on. With casual games like Wii Fit, Wii Music, and Wii Sports, those who consider themselves casual will not be disappointed. Contrary to popular belief, between games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros: Brawl, and Guitar Hero: World Tour, Metroid Prime 3, Call of Duty: World at War, Mario Galaxy and countless VC and WiiWare titles such as Mega Man 9, Wii isn't lacking in hardcore titles, either.
So in short, if you'e been a fan of videogames all your life or are new to the scene, the Wii will NOT disapoint. Act quick, because the Wii happens to be quite a difficult item to reach these days.

If you are looking for a family-oriented gaming console, then the Wii is for you. We got the console back in September and hid it from the kids for an early Christmas present.
The only game we've played so far is the Wii sports that comes with the system. Granted, the graphics may not be as good as what you will find with the Playstation and XBox, but the time we've spent playing the Wii sports game has been great! We enjoy the exercise required for the games and I've enjoyed seeing our kids enjoy playing with the game and interacting with each other - much more productive and more conducive to stronger relationships as opposed to just watching the tv!
If you are looking for a system oriented to families, then the Wii is for you. If you looking for higher-quality graphics and games with more mature themes, then the Playstation or XBox will be better.
We can't wait get to get more games for the Wii and enjoy more hours of quality family entertainment and exercise!
Highly recommended!

Since there are already over 750 reviews for this product, there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said. The main thing I want to focus on here is that this system is FUN. People seem to complain a little about the graphics, but I'm not purchasing a virtual art gallery, I'm purchasing a gaming system.
I used to be hooked into the perpetual upgrade cycle of hardware that exists on the PC gaming front, but somewhere along the way over the last 7 or 8 years, the industry became more about eye candy and less about the actual game. If you look at most of the top 10, 20 or whatever number of all-time game lists, you'll see games that are often way behind the graphics curve. Most of them are lacking visually simply because they're older games (i.e. Diablo or Half-Life for the PC), but the main point is that they're fun and they leave the player with a memorable and entertaining experience. All the eye candy in the world simply cannot make up for a game that lacks that. There are plenty of gorgeous games with no content to them, and shelling out $400 or more for systems to play the latest in games with cutting edge polygon counts, textures or rendering is akin to throwing down hundreds of dollars on a mannequin that looks exactly like Jessica Alba in the flesh.
Not that there is anything wrong with the PS3 or the Xbox 360, but there's a reason why the Wii is outselling everything else; it comes down to fun (and price). Yes, there are crappy games on the Wii and a lot of really fun games on those other systems, but in my opinion, when the Wii developers get it right (i.e. Metroid Prime Corruption, Wii Sports, Resident Evil 4), the experience is far beyond what you can get from games on other consoles. If you're enjoying the gameplay to the fullest extent, most people don't even realize that the graphics aren't perfect.
The lower graphics tech is part of what keeps the system's price down, which puts it within reach of just about anyone with a job and the ability to save money. Personally, despite still having both a high end desktop and laptop PC suitable to run the latest whiz-bang games coming out, I haven't even looked at either of them for games since I purchased my Wii...I spend my time playing the Wii or looking at the release dates for the next Wii game that I can hardly wait to play. And coming from a former PC game and hardware-junkie, that says a lot.

I'm sure there are plenty enough reviews that there is nothing new I'm going to say, so I'll try to make it short.
I just recently bought a Wii. I have had an Xbox 360 for a few years and it, frankly, has not done much for me. I play it for about a month, then put it down for 6 months. A few games might draw me in, but the game system doesn't draw me in.
If you want long involved games that take months to complete, then Xbox or Playstation is more your cup of tea. If you are not a big time gamer and just like short simple type games, then Wii is your cup of tea.
More than that though....it is a whole new concept that gets you up and off your butt. There is something different about the ability to really do the game actions rather than just holding a controller and pressing buttons. I love holding the controller like the handle of a bat and swinging it when the ball comes on the screen. It gives a whole new element of fun when playing over game systems like Xbox and Playstation.
Kudos to the Wii!! I'm VERY HAPPY with my decision to trade in my Xbox 360 and get the Wii. It was one of the best decisions I've made.

Not all games require the Nunchuk and you can live on just having one. Take turns it is cheaper depending on the size of you family.If you want to play multi player mode some games require you to have more than one of every thing and others do not. Make sure you know what is required for multi player mode before you assume you need things that you do not.I like the concept of the Nunchuk but I find it rather restrictive due to its direct connection with the Wii remote controller.I am planning on buying a add on to make the Nunchuk wireless.I think it should have come that way from the start.I do not know if the wireless devise will have a strap and that is something you should consider. You can get worked up while playing your games and you do not want to have to buy a new TV or pay hospital bills where a strap was all that was required.I have to do some research and ensure my benefits exceeded the cost before I buy the wireless add on.:)...

I don't own other game systems, but the Wii is great for what it offers: many fun games and the potential for getting some exercise in the process. The program that comes with the Wii has some fun games on its own, and programs like Wii Fit and the Active one from EA can give anybody a good workout. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I saved for a year to purchase this system for my kids. They wanted one last year but I was a single parent. When Amazon notified me in November that one was available I bought it immediately and was very happy to have it under the tree for them. We enjoyed it immediately....played Rock Band 2 during Christmas weekend but when Monday came my youngest went to turn it on and NOTHING. Change the plug and try again and NOTHING. Tried all of the plugs in the house before boxing it up and sending it back to Amazon who doesn't have any replacements. For this type of money I would expect it to work longer than a weekend. I contacted Nintendo and got the whole "stuff happens" explaination but that doesn't replace my money nor does it help with the aggravation of recreating everything we did that weekend TOGETHER. I wouldn't suggest not buying it because when it worked it was great. But hold on to your receipt and don't expect the normally reliable Amazon to replace it when it doesn't work.

We recently purchase Wii for my 8 year old son and he loves it.
The part we like best is that he's not sitting in front of the
computer or TV. He is obsessed with it, but it's active and it
get's him interested and excited about classic sports. Overall
it's a good thing and the whole family gets to be a part of it.

I got this for my 8-year-old son for his birthday after saying I would never get him a game system. We both love it. I can't wait to get more games for him and me.

I'm an avid gamer and I must say that I was skeptical about the Wii when it first came out. I didn't *want* my gaming experience to change. It turns out that Nintendo knows far more than I. The controllers are intuitive and I find learning new game environments easy to do. The party games are good fun and you feel like you're doing more than just 'sitting on the couch working on your a@@ impression.'
In terms of all the new platforms (xBox 360 and PS3) it is the most affordable of the three. Plus, you get so much included - a hard drive (don't have to fork out more $$) and a wireless antennae built-in (a[...] add-on for the other platforms).
A hard core gamer will still need an xBox 360 or a PS3 to get your full gaming experience, but families and aficionados alike will love it!

With the release of the three next generation gaming consoles (XBox360, PS3, and Nintendo's Wii), the Wii was supposed to be the "also ran" of the group. I am now wondering if Nintendo could turn around and win the console war this round despite the higher end graphics offered by the other two.
The biggest advantage that the Wii has is price. To get the entire console at $250 is amazing! And I appreciate their simplicity in offering only one console instead of a core system and a higher-end system, something that aggravated me about the other two consoles.
On the innovative side, the Wii comes now with the remote and nunchunk. I was pretty surprised while playing to learn that the remote actually has a speaker inside. That is pretty new as well. But the remote looks like a small TV remote and adds a new level of flexibility to gameplay. For one, if you point at the screen then it can pretty much function as a mouse. It can also detect if the remote tilts in one way or the other. For instance, while bowling if you tilt the remote to the left when releasing the ball then the ball will curve left. In boxing, if you lean to the right then the body of your boxer leans to the right to dodge a blow from your opponent. There is a driving game where you can use the remote as a steering wheel. Again, this is completely innovative on Nintendo's part.
One complaint I have heard about the Wii remote is that it is easy to break once you get into the game. I can see why. While playing baseball or golf you swing it like a bat or a club. Also in baseball you throw it like a baseball while pitching. Instinct almost kicks in and makes me want to let go of the remote during the pitching part of baseball.
There is a learning curve to the remote as well. However, the Wii comes with Wii Sports to get you familiar (like how Bill Gates threw in Solitaire into Windows to help learn the mouse). Wii Sports will not keep you entertained for long because they become quite boring after you master the use of the remote but it does do a good job of getting you over the curve.
The remotes are also in short demand right now and most games seem to have written the use of the remotes into the games as an afterthought (the largest exception being Zelda). But I think games in the future will be written throughout with the remote and nunchunk in mind and these games are going to be amazing.
The graphics are not as impressive as what you'll see on the XBox360 and the PS3, but the DVD quality is good enough when you are more interested in playing and having fun. Don't get me wrong, the 1080 resolution is very impressive. But after you get into a game, the graphic difference becomes irrelevant if you are having fun. And the Nintendo Wii is a load of fun!!
One last note. While searching for a Wii I went to many stores (Best Buy, a few WalMarts, Target, several Game Stops and many others). I noticed that a lot of the XBox360's and PS3's were frozen or out of order. Very few demo machines actually worked. But I never once saw a Wii not working though all but once had a classic controller instead of the new remote. I've read that PS3's can overheat and the XBox360 can crash on occasion (Windows!! Typical). So I'm glad that the Wii comes out quite solid.
So, Wii loses in graphic capabilities but wins in price, fun, stability, and innovation. Choose which is more important to you and then go with that decision.

So, if you are looking at this, you must have the Wii. If you have not played a game that requires this, you are in for a lot of fun. This nunchuck is very comfortable and fits in my hand well. It is intuitive and easy to handle. It also takes a beating, as the two originals we have been using have survived my 4 and 5.5 year old kids well.
