But, this is $20 cheaper at Walmart brand new.... which is um... well, come on Amazon sellers, beat the price competition. Other than that, all ok.







Let's start with the system itself. The console is small and sleek; it looks perfect on my entertainment center, tucked snugly right beside my DVD player. It plays GameCube games better than my GameCube ever did, as it's much quieter. In fact, the Wii barely makes any noise at all when running GameCube games, and is still fairly quiet while running Wii games. As far as aesthetics go, you couldn't ask for a better package.
Of course, there's the hardware inside the box, which is less impressive. The Wii is only slightly more powerful than the original Xbox, which can be found used for a fifth of the cost of a Wii nowadays. The graphics are not anywhere near as good as can be found on the PS3 and 360; the Wii only outputs picture at 480p, which is still more than my SDTV can process. Of course, the Wii is almost half as much as a PS3 or fully decked 360 (fully decked meaning with Wi-Fi, hard drive, and Live), so this is somewhat understandable.
Then there's the ultra-hyped controller. It looks nice, feels good, and, when used properly, works well. When the games get it right, there's no controller I'd rather use. Of course, now Sony and Microsoft have potentially better motion controls in the works, but the Wii is still your only option for now.
Overall, I really like the Wii as a system. The main problem is its selection of games. When the system launched, the library of titles ranged from fun tech demos (Wii Sports, Rayman Raving Rabbids) to more traditional games with motion-based control schemes (Excite Truck, Twilight Princess). What everyone was really excited about were the revolutionary games that would soon come and change our entire perspective on gaming.
Fast forward to 2009. The Wii is in its third year and the available games are still either minigame collections or traditional games with shoehorned motion controls. There has not been one game that delivers a truly new experience through the controls that has enough depth and maturity to appeal to older gamers. Even unorthodox experiences like Zack & Wiki or Trauma Center have control schemes that have been previously seen on the PC and DS, though. This wouldn't really be a problem if there were a larger selection of games with any depth. Yes, there are a few gems, like Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and a few others, but the library of good titles pales in comparison to the 360 and PS3. The Conduit is inferior to most of the good FPS games on the other consoles in every way except controls, and even those are topped by mouse and keyboard control. The Wii versions of Resident Evil and Dead Space are rail shooters, albeit well made ones. Bully and Okami are probably best on the Wii, but can be found on other consoles without too much of a drop in quality. Animal Crossing is just an enhanced port of the DS version. There aren't that many good games, and most of them aren't anything new.
Don't get me wrong; when the Wii shines, it shines very brightly. It's a great system, but it's terribly unsupported when it comes to games that will hold your attention for more than a couple hours. This probably has to do with the system's appeal to casual gamers, who make up a huge portion (if not the majority) of the Wii's audience and are only interested in the more shallow games, so deeper games have a hard time finding a large audience on the system. It also probably involves the Wii's less powerful hardware, which means it can't support a lot of the advanced physics and AI utilized by the big games nowadays.
The downloadable games don't fare very well, either. WiiWare, Nintendo's much-publicized service for original downloadable games, is fairly mediocre, with only a few good titles available, like LostWinds and World of Goo. The Virtual Console hosts great games like Paper Mario and the N64 Zeldas, but a lot of the games, though still enjoyable, have not held up well over time and/or may be too difficult for modern gamers.
The Wii's game selection isn't too bad; you do have four sources of content (Wii, WiiWare, Virtual Console, GameCube) to choose from, three of which do have quite a few good games, so you can probably find some deeper titles to play. Just don't expect it to fulfill all your desires for rich, fulfilling games all the time. It's the perfect system for families who like to play together casually, but it's not a console for those who are really into gaming.
Four stars for the system, 3 for the game selection. Three stars overall.




1)Motion-sensing adds a whole new experience for casual gamers and hardcore gamers alike. You can put your Wii remote in anything-a baseball bat, a golf club, a tennis racket, a steering wheel, a gun, you name it. And if you don't like the feel of moving the Wii remote every which way and you'd rather keep it classic, you can just get the Wii classic controller and a grip so you can play classic games like Super Mario Bros. easily.
2) There's a whole new genre of gaming with the Wii with motion and other accessories. In Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, you can swing the golf club as if you would in real golf. In Punch-Out, you can box by smacking the Wii remote into the air to put some serious blows into your opponent. In Jenga, you actually have to pull the blocks out by moving the Wii remote cautiously as to not knock the tower down. In MarioKart Wii, you steer your Wii remote onto a race track to go for first place. In House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return, aim your Wii remote at the TV and destroy zombies. In The Conduit, you can use Wii Speak to speak to other players during gameplay. There are a bunch of possibilities on the Wii.
3) The fact that you can play Gamecube games on the Wii would want to make you sell your Gamecube for some good money and keep the games for entertainment on the Wii. The Gamecube games are played as they would be played on the Gamecube with no special differences. For people who didn't own the Gamecube previously, this is a good chance for you to go out and get some good titles that you missed like Luigi's Mansion, Mario Golf, Chibi-Robo, Zelda Four Swords Adventures, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Zelda Wind Waker, Smash Bros. Melee, Double Dash, Paper Mario, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Pikmin, King of Fighters 98, Animal Crossing and many more. All you have to do is plug your Gamecube controllers into the Wii, put in a memory card, put in you Gamecube disc, and start playing!
4) Next-generation Nintendo games can not be played on any other system. Play games like Animal Crossing City Folk, Metroid Other M, Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and many more.
5) The Mii Channel allows you to make and customize people to represent you in games. Some games like Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games and Mario Super Sluggers allow you to use the Mii's in actual gameplay. And in games like Smackdown vs Raw, the Mii's just represent you. There is no limit to how many you make.
6) Wii Shop Channel allow you to get games like Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong Country, Sonic the Hedgehog, and many other games for people that haven't owned Nintendo 64s, Super Nintendo Entertainment Systems, Nintendo Entertainment Systems, Sega Genesis's and even Sega Game Gears. You can get these games for a decent price without having to pay for shipping. You can also buy new channels like a channel where you can access the Internet at any time.
7) Other channels like Forecast Channel and News Channel allow you to do other things. The Photo Channel allows you to view photos. The Check Mii Out Channel allows you to look at other peoples' Miis. The Forecast Channel allows you to see the forecast from all around the world, whether it be the five-day forecast or just the current temperature, you can even see what it's like in Antarctica and Tokyo. The News Channel allows you to see news from all around the world instead of having to tune in to news channels on your TV.
8) The Home Brew Channel allows you to do many cheats in games. In Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games, you can play as a Goomba, Jet the Hawk, Silver the Hedgehog, and other scrapped characters. All you need is Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and a manual on how to get the Home Brew Channel and you're all set.
9) Wi-fi allows you to play your video games with people around the world easily.
10) Wii Sports is a fun and enjoyable game for beginners with the Wii. You can play golf, boxing, bowling, baseball, and tennis. It's very entertaining.
That's most of the Wii's features. You have to have the Wii-you wouldn't regret buying it.


Seller was fast and the product was just as described.
Still playing retro super smash bros instead of studying fluids and heat transfer to this day.... :)


Get this instead of paying 10x the price for the Nintendo version. Stupid cheap!



When I first looked at the console itself, I noticed it was extremely tiny compared to the Playstation 2 or the Xbox 360. At the same time, however, it is much heavier than it looks--as Nintendo made use of every single space they could find in this system.
I've always seemed like the kind of person who couldn't sit still while playing a game--and this system only quenches my thirst to move while playing games. Games like Super Mario Galaxy, Sonic Colors, and Godzilla Unleashed all require me to move my body in order to emerge victorious in the game.
While it is a pleasure to know that this console gives me the ability to interact with my games through movement, older Nintendo fans may be pleased to know that you can insert and play Nintendo GameCube games thanks to the Wii's backwards compatibility with its predecessor. All you need to do this is a GameCube controller, a memory card, and a GameCube game itself. For those of you who want to go even FURTHER into Nintendo's past, you have the option to hook up your Nintendo Wii to the Internet and go to the "Wii Shop", where you can buy many old games for the NES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and much more.
Overall the Nintendo Wii is a fantastic home console. Even though its day are numbered and it is about to be replaced by the more powerful Wii U, I cannot tell you how much fun I have had with this console.
