So, when my husband's neice and nephew visited after Christmas and brought their XBox 360, my husband was hooked. He wanted one, but I wasn't so sure. I started asking around and found out that the Wii was a better choice. My boss's kids had both and the Wii gets tons more play.
My next task was not only to convince my husband of the Wii, but also to find one! They are no where to be found. You would think that over a month after Christmas that they would be available, but nope...nowhere. So, I did some searching on the web and found a website that keeps in-stock status at websites. I checked mutiple times a day and finally it was available at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, it was in a bundle with 7 games. I figured that we would buy a bunch of games anyway and I would just make the up front investment. There was a good selection of games, so I picked ones that I thought we would like (the ones we didn't want I just returned to the store).
After a week of waiting, the Wii finally arrived! We were so excited that we started playing right away. I love playing the more "kiddie" games, while my husband likes the more advanced games (he plays Call of Duty 3 & Splinter Cell for hours). We love playing Wii Sports against each other and when the family visits (including my laws and teenage neice and nephew) we play the games together and everyone can play! My father-in-law has never played video games and picked it up right away and loved playing Wii Sports. My nephew (with the XBox 360) now wants a Wii more and is addicted to it!
The Wii is different than any other video game I have ever played (not that I have played many, but I have watched friends play everything from the original Nintendo to Playstation, Gamecude, XBox, etc..). The remote takes a little getting used to since most games are played with the little twists of your wrist or the motion of your arm. Bowling is cool because a little twist of your wrist curves the ball just like in real life. I find that I don't sit down for most of the game and if I am sitting, I am moving around a lot...my arm has gotten sore from hitting the ball in tennis or boxing with my husband.
This is the best game console out there for everyone! It is so easy to play and super fun! My husband is hooked and so glad that we got the Wii...he is over the Xbox 360.





It comes packaged with Wii Sports and just playing through each of those has provided hundreds of hours of fun for me and the family. The motion sensitivity adds a new element of fun and interactivity which almost compels you to get off your butt and move around while playing. ;) There are also a host of other games available now that take advantage of the motion sensitivity. They span multiple game categories from typical platforming games to sports and even party games so I'm sure there's something for everyone to enjoy.
It was also easy to set-up and upgrade through my 128-bit WEP enabled wireless network. There are cool free software downloads available on the Wii Shop too. The weather channel-like program is pretty cool and has helped provide quick and accurate weather planning for the day. The Everybody Votes channel is fun and somewhat enlightening on the opinions of Wii owners in the US and around the world. This channel also provides a challenge element where you can guess which result will get more votes and tracks how many you've predicted correctly along with a crude breakdown of you personality, based on the answers you've given. There is a free web browser channel as well. It's not great but still useful for checking sites while the computer is tied-up by someone else.
I could go on and on which you have no doubt found boring already but I'll just sum it up by saying that even if you don't like video games, I think you'll have fun with the Wii. It gets you up and moving and has something for everyone in the family to enjoy.




When it was before it's time I drooled like a fanboy at the notion, watching the previews and imagining the possibilities.
When it came out I loved me some WiiSports, and fell in love with the Mii channel. I even made a web site about the Wii...
Now here I am a year later and I've barely touched it. Sure, Mario Galaxy is fun, and to some degree WiiSports hasn't lost it's charm... and Metroid, oh, wonderful and beautiful Metroid... but alas, this system is collecting dust. It simply doesn't have any of the games the Xbox 360 has been graced with, and it doesn't quite handle Blu Ray movies as well as my PS3.
Smash Bros. may get some juice into it's circuit boards for a few weeks, and Mario Kart is coming in "Early 08 - I mean April - I mean Early 09 - I mean..." and that will surely rock.
But is it enough?
The Wii seems to present a limitless landscape of possibilities for games, but unfortunately, Nintendo doesn't know what the internet is and third-parties don't want to waste time with motion controls or big budget games.
The result? It's like handicap children in a playground. It's not fair. It's not fun. It almost makes you feel kind of sad.
Verdict? The Wii has nothing going for it. Let the next snaggle-toothed, hype-train-riding, Coca-Cola drinking sell-out buy it instead. It's a better fashion accessory than it is a gaming console.

As far as "next gen" hardware goes the Wii is hardly a contender in the newest, flashiest, fastest, etc. category. As I sit here playing Zelda I can't help but wonder why I am playing a Gamecube game on this supposed next gen system. With game makers the world over expressing their concern that the Wii is only marginally more capable than a Gamecube, I wonder why I have forked over 250 dollars for a system that is only as powerful as systems that I already own.
Then I remember. The Wii is innovative and new because of its interface. I can now control my games with gesture instead of simply tapping buttons on some boomerang shaped device. The question is whether or not this improves the overall experience for the game player, and whether or not the purchase of this unit is worth my/your money.
In a word, no. The use of the Wii remote and nunchuck to partially control the action onscreen is a novelty at best. As an example I'll use Zelda: Twilight Princess. To swing your sword you "simply" swing your remote. When using projectile weapons you "simply" point to aim. Neither of these two functions feels intuitive, simple, or necessary. Indeed these functions could be made simpler, and they will be, when the game is released for the Gamecube (essentially a nunchuck-less Wii). I must use the analog stick to move Link around, why shouldn't I use it to aim? It takes two hands to aim now. I must use the analog stick AND the motion sensing remote to look around or aim my weapons. Flicking my wrist hap-hazardly in order to swing my sword becomes a burden almost instantly. I can no longer relax on my couch and play games. Instead I must now engage in this silly controller shaking nonsense in order to perform simple commands. If this motion sensing device had come out as a peripheral for the Gamecube, it would've flopped. It's a hindrance at best.
As far as value is concerned, there is none. You are buying a unit that has all the power of a 5-6 year old system. 250.00 for a magic wand that makes games more complicated, not less as Nintendo insists, is a complete waste. Nothing about the Wii feels new. Ancient infrared technology, old processors, low resolution, no hard drive, and the list goes on and on. It is relatively cheap, but that doesn't make it a good value. You wouldn't buy a Gamecube for 250, would you? Well if you bought a Wii you already did.
I may eat my words later on if companies are able to make use of the motion sensing technology in a real way that makes a game more fun and doesn't feel like a tacked on gimmick. But as it stands now nothing about the hardware or any of the launch titles that I've played tell me that my purchase was a wise one.
The Wii is cheap and you get what you pay for.






Great fun that never ends.
