Love my Wii

I love my Wii. I've had it since it came out. I was one of those people that waited in line for it while the shortages were prevalent. I love the Wii for getting large groups of people together for game night. Embarrassingly Mario Party drinking games have become a regular event at my house. Even my parents play. Netflix on it is great too. Very easy to set up and use. Only downside is the lack of HD.

Love my Wii

Created by milllllller on Jun 14, 2010

i'm a pretty casual gamer as far as consoles go; i'm more into handheld gaming because i find the simplicity to be more fun to me. but being as casual a gamer as i am, the Wii has been absolutely perfect. it has classic titles like mario kart and smash bros and super mario that are great for 1.) pick-up-and-play gaming and 2.) multiplayer party-style gaming. yes the Wii is crazy innovative because of all of it's features, and yes it really is great for gamers of all ages, and yes it features an online gaming store and various other features that utilize the internet; these features are great, and if they are intriguing enough to sway your decision to buy a console, awesome, take them into consideration. but i believe that a console should be purchased based on the fun and replay values that the purchaser foresees him/herself getting back from the machine. this being said, the Wi is fun for anyone, but i believe it's best for casual gamers like myself who are into pick-up-and-play and party style gaming.

Although Wii lacks in graphics, the interactive 3D remotes provides lots of fun.
I play Call of Duty, while my kids play Mario Kart, Sport Resort etc.
Guitar Hero helped my kids learn about rock classics.

All in all a great buy!

This is a great little system that is awesome at entertaining both young and the young at heart. I have had some parties in which all my guests did was play we in competitions and elimination to find the champion. There is nothing funnier then seeing several people in a row wiggle and waggle their bodies on a Wii balance board. Even my grandmother, who is in a nursing home has one on the premises so that the elderly get some exercise. They recently had a bowling competition, sadly my grandma did not win =D.

Wish I would have grab this instead of the 360...

Created by jroc74 on May 02, 2010

Ownership period: less than 1 year.
Back when it first came out, I had a chance to get a Wii, but instead got the Xbox 360. Fast forward a few years and I was just now able to get my hands on a Wii. Where do I start...

Its real fun to play with other people. It brings folks together to play games like back in the day: Twister, Dodgeball, etc. Interactive games, but its all in the home on a console!!

If you are a guy and think playing games on Wii Fit isn't manly, you haven't tried to play anyl. There are plenty of manly games on Wii Fit so you don't feel embarrassed to tell folks you play it. A fun game and a decent workout? Its like how some teachers connect to their students better than others: They make learning fun. The Wii makes working out fun.

Not all games require you to use the wand & nunchuk. You can use it like a regular gamepad for some games.

You have access to most of the classics the older gamer remember: NES, SNES,; even classics from other systems: Neo Geo, Turbo Grafix 16, etc.

Has WiFi built in and you can surf the web from the Wii.

Its cheaper and probably more reliable than the other next gen systems out.

Games are mostly geared towards kids, which means you rarely have to worry about checking if a game is suitable for your children. This is a pro and a con at the same time.

You cant go wrong with a Wii.

When I first got a wii I loved it and so did everyone else as time went on I played it less and less and thought about selling it. I am glad I didnt the wii can be boring BUT keep it when it is awesome to play with friends and family especially party games like rock band 2 beatles rock band new super mario bros. if you are looking for more of single player only games the wii might not be your cup of tea. It does have some fun single player games like Animal Crossing or Metroid prime bu if you want first person shooter get a 360.

I have enjoy playing this with my 6yo daughter, but as a stand alone gaming console, it is not powerful enough for serious gamers. What I don't like about it is the sensor bar. You have to put it in a location where all people wh will be playing can be picked up from it. If the TV is on a stand, then it works fine on top, but when the TV is on the wall, then you have to put the bar under the it somewhere.

Ya know, the Wii has been getting some flak lately about being "gimmiky" and the novelty of it is getting old but I like it. The controls are fun and unique and it's not the typical "sit on the couch and work your thumbs" kinda console. It is still a great console.

I like the Nintendo Wii alot, especially when you are hanging out with friends. It is definitely a gaming system that you break out at parties, so you can laugh at your friends making idiots out of themselves jumping around and stuff. As for games, they are not as good as XBox360 or PS3 if you are looking for action games, but it all depends on what you're looking for

Don't get me wrong I love my Wii. For a long time it was the only "Next-Gen" console I had and I loved every second of it. This console has the potential to do so much but it has been marked as a very childish system. I firmly believe if more games from outside developers (I.E. Not Nintendo) would make games for it it could be the best, but no one will take a chance. The games Nintendo makes for it are amazing but they can only make Mario go through so many pipes and make Link save Zelda so many more times. As long as they do though I'm all for it.

Sure it doesn't play Blu-ray, but that is not the point. It is purely for gaming. The virtual library has grown in leaps and bounds, providing old favorites for cheap. Everyone else has scrambled to provide the interactive feedback that the Wii has. Sometimes Nintendo fails (remember Virtual Boy???) but thistime they hit a home-run.

I hadn't purchased a new console, as I didn't want to spend the money at the time for an Xbox 360 or PS3. I was torn about which to buy b/c the PS3 has BluRay, but I prefer the games on Xbox.... so I decide to forego buying either of them. My wife really wanted to get the Wii, so I bought it for her for christmas. I was reluctant at first becuase the lower quality of graphics on the Wii, but after playing some games with her, I came to like the Wii, a lot.

The replay value on almost every interactive game is amazing, and playing in a group setting with friends if really fun. I am content with my purchase of this machine.

I love this little game council because of it's relaxed approach to gaming. Not to mention that the games are fun not "this is all i do with my life" take on gaming.
Although the system is strong enough to play "weaker" graphics wise versions of games as an example Avatar. The animation and graphics may not be the best they actually are the worst in the newer councils but the game play and experience are well worth the sacrifice. Some may say don't get it most of the games are not fun, I disagree primarily because only a small portion of the third party games are awkward or poor adaptations. The main line up and a large portion of the third party games are very enjoyable and the interface gives them a unique feel. I give it two thumbs up

It's really simple: the console may be great, but if the games are not, there is no reason to have it. That applies to the Wii more than any other console out there as developers seem to find it hard to create good games. The first party line-up is excellent however, and those games can be enjoyed by all types of gamers.

The Wii is by far the best video game system for the family or parties. The way you play the games is very unique compared to other gaming systems available right now. The interaction is awesome. The new Wii motion plus attachment adds another level to game play. Games like Tiger Woods and Wii sports are much better when used with Wii motion plus. The only bad thing is sometimes the graphics. Graphics are not horrible but certainly could be better when compared to the 360 or PS3. But overall it is still tons of fun, and very entertaining. Thats the point right.

I got this when it first came out so the build quality is excellent. Games all have great replay ability. Its a great system for a casual gamer and its the first system that i could play with just about anyone, including my grandmother and my mother. Everyone who plays this goes out and buys there own its very neat. Only downside is you have to keep buying new accessories, so don't let the low price fool you, it will cost you a lot in the end. However the games are much cheaper than the other systems so this does offset it somewhat.

This is a great gaming system, especially for smaller children. My son really enjoys playing it and the controls are easy for him to understand. Where he has trouble with the PS2 controller, he has had no trouble understanding the Wii controls. The built-in wi-fi is a nice touch (though rarely used.) The number of games available is good and the availability of classic titles through the online store is great. Old NES titles can be played on emulators which are readily available, but they are much better when played on a Nintendo system, where they belong. Using after-market, non-Nintendo accessories can cause problems, however. I have had to reset the a/c adaptor several times because of the non-Nintendo SD card we're using.

I really love the ease of use on the Wii. My 4 year old can just pick up the controller and start playing anything he wants (so long as we have it). The games are easy to understand what to do for him, but still challenging enough that it doesn't feel mundane to play or even watch. I myself don't play the Wii that much (I'm usually on my PC) but the enjoyment my kids get makes it worth every penny.

My son loves his wii. There couldn't be a better gaming device for young kids and family fun. We have hours of enjoyment on his wii and the games are easy for him to learn and use. Nintendo got it right.

The Wii is extremely innovative and gives you access to classic older games via their webservice. Most of their games are geared for more light hearted play. Those that play the games will become addicted to most of them since they require out of the box use of their controllers. If you haven't tried it and are on the fence, try one before you buy it.

I've had my Wii since the holidays and finally hooked it up in the middle of January. Wow...is all I have to say. The 1st person shooters are so much easier than on my ps2. I actually feel sore from using my wii fit plus...never thought that would happen.
