wii may be the 2nd best system out there (windows PC bing best) 
2008-08-18
The Wii may not be the best graphics out there but graphics are not everything. I LOVE the wii because of the GAMES and the 100% GameCube compatibly. The other systems (ps3, xbox 360) have raelly bad compatibly with there older systems (ps2 xbox)and the games are not as fun!! Yes I have a PS3 and a PS2 but a love my wii alot more. It is all about the games not the system. Also the wii is not hi-def but if you really need hi-def you can get an ADS Technologies HDUP1500 HDTV Upconverter

A system from Nintendo that brings back the old Nintendo gameing days. 2008-08-15
In 1985, Nintendo was a powerhouse giving us the orginal Nes , and in 1991 had another bang with SNES.Nintendo did make the N64 which revolutionized 3d graphics period and then came the Gamecube but ir wasnt until 2006 that Nintendo got it's mojo back with this state of the art system.They are now back on top simular to where they were in 1985, in fact Nintendo has beaten both its competetors XBox 360 and PS3 by a milestone why is this you as simple owning a Nintendo is fun again.With motion control and the you are expeirencing the game feel instead of paying it.Why play as Mario when you can be Mario or be Link from Zelda.
With its wi fi connection support built in you can play with people from all over the world, with wii wear you can get classic nintendo console games like Super Mario Bros.The controls at times get hard to get used to but the Wii has games to help you get used to the controls because right now they are unlike any video game system controls.These sports games will get you geared up for when you get and future games, if these controls the wii controller and the nunchuck are not your bag then you can get a regular controller or it as it gives you that option plus you can hook up a gamecube controller with 4 players at a time this system has the best multi player control.The graphics while not as close or superior to its competetors the graphics are beautiful for this system
rent Super Mario Galaxy and you will see very quickly just what these graphics are able to do as they are very impressive.It is not hi def or blue ray capable be in mind this is just a game system and not a cd or
hi def advanced entertainment machine if you want that you should look
at XBox 360 or PS3.The only complaint i would have is that nintendo just dosent get out games fast enough whereas you always see XBox and PS3 bringing out big titles every week,on Nintendo your wait will be more like monthly with is a big downside it was the same problem they seem to have in the past and still have it today.Other then that if you like a fun system that will entertain you and your hole family then this is the system for you.
The best video game system 2008-08-13
We have owned an Xbox, PS2, PS3, Dreamcast, various other Sega incarnations, and various Atari systems. This is the most fun of all of them. The visuals aren't as good as the PS3, but you get to stand up and move around. The controls on all of the games I've played on the Wii are very intuitive.
We were lucky enough to get a Wii at Best Buy the day we decided to look for one. There were none available online (at a reasonable price), otherwise we probably would have bought one from Amazon.
I think my favorite "game" is the Wii Fit. We did have to wait for that, but it's worth it. The Wii Play, which came with the unit, is still one of my favorites. And I like House of the Dead. Sometimes you just have to go out and kill zombies. :) Oh, and Mario Kart is also a lot of fun.
What other game can people of all skill levels and ages play together and all have fun? What other games don't leave you with sore thumbs? OK, there might be some out there, but this is the best system. You get your whole body involved and you feel like you've done something.
Now, if Nintendo would just get around to making them a little more available, that would be great.

Nintendo Wii 
2008-08-09
The wii is really cool and has some great games. One of my favorite games is wii sports, which actually comes with it! You can buy new channels for the wii. Overall i give it a really good rating.
BEWARE:Never put your miis in the mii parade. It erases all of your stats on wii sports.
The Wii is fun and Innovative to a point 
2008-08-06
I pick up a couple of this consoles for my two nephews and after watching the entire family having fun (including my mother who never lay a hand on a video game console before) I decided to get one for myself. after trying the thing at home accompanied by my girl and some friends I have to admit, the Wii still was fun. But when I try to play by myself I realize that I look like a mental patient plus I get tire of swinging my arms just for the character hit a ball.
So the way I see it the Wii is fun and innovative to a point because the technical specs are not worthy to be call next generation (looks like they just jam an improve version of the old Gamecube inside the Wii), for me it was fun to play with family and friends not when you are alone. In the contrary the way you play the games its really innovative, but to be honest it gets old really quickly.
Maybe I'm to old for this console in fact if you look at the game list, its clear that Nintendo intended this console to be for kids. I keep my Wii as a novelty or party trick if you will since I don't use it very often.
Mean while I get my game on my xbox360 he understand that I just want to play High Definition, awesome graphics, online first person shooters and car racing games, all that while sitting in my lazyboy.
This is a good choice as a family fun game or for small kids, but for true gamers or people ages 16 to 35 this console will be a waste of time and money.
the wii is a homerun! 2008-08-04
Never before have i made a purchase that i was so happy about. For children and adults, the nintendo wii provides unending enjoyment.
Wii is to video games as fast food restaurants are to food. 
2008-08-04
I was initially impressed by the concept behind the Wii. Or at least I thought I was. When the "Revolution" was announced, it was presented as a true innovation, in vein of the analog stick or d-pad, which would bring a new dimension of control to games. That hype eventually fizzled to nothing, and now we are left with what we have today.
The much vaunted technology that was included in the original Wii controller is a step backwards. It doesn't directly reflect the player's actions on-screen as was expected after Nintendo hyped the controller incessantly. Rather than making games deeper than they had ever been before, it simply replaces button presses as a means to initiate animations. You might be wondering, "if it replaces button presses, then why is it a step backwards, instead of simply being a non-evolution? (let alone revolution)" Well, there's one big reason why, and I'll illustrate it with an example.
If you've played a video game (lets take boxing, for example) on any console other than Wii, you'll probably understand that if you press buttons too quickly, a game might not keep up with you. If you press a button to punch once in a boxing game with a standard, motion sense-less controller, then press the same button again instantaneously, before the first animation is complete, the on-screen character will only punch once. With such a controller, this doesn't pose a problem, since your thumb will always lie just above the button.
When playing Wii Sports boxing, however, inconsistent motion detection quickly becomes aggravating. It's not nearly as "immersive" as Nintendo claims. If you motion to punch once, then motion to punch again too early, not only will your on-screen character only punch once, but you'll be putting yourself at a disadvantage, since you'll need to bring your arms back to punch again. Not only that, but it just feels jarring to see your character's motions not reflect your own, when you expect it to work swimmingly. For this reason, you'll probably find yourself simply "waggling" to perform actions in games, since using broader, realistic motions sometimes doesn't work. Plus, your motions might not even register at all, considering that Wii software only recognizes a field of gestures. But this issue is minor, compared to the dearth of quality games for the system.
As a long time Nintendo fan, I've grown increasingly disappointed with the Wii's library. There are some absolute gems, like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, among the piles of rubbish, but unfortunately, they are far and few between. Feeling dejected by the lack of games on Wii, I eventually purchased a 360, and realized that I had been waiting for games for no reason whatsoever. There are plenty of games on other systems. I could compare the libraries of the three home systems available now, but I'd be wasting my time, as if you care, you could find such info yourself. Wii is the only system I've ever owned that's had such a sparse selection of quality games, and the dry upcoming release schedule seems to indicate that this won't change any time soon. I will keep my Wii, but only because I already own it and hope that there might be a few better games for it in the future, and I could use it to play old Nintendo games, not because its new games are doing me any good right now.
Even a bright spot on the horizon, the Wii Motion Plus, is bittersweet. It will finally make the Wii controller's motion sensing more than just an inaccurate replacement for button presses, but, it won't be released until Spring 2009, around two and a half years after the Wii was first released, and it will cost you even more money, presumably.
So, I feel the Wii is to video games as fast food restaurants are to food. The Wii, like fast food, is massively popular. The Wii, also like fast food, is relatively inexpensive. And the Wii and fast food share the distinction of still being extremely disappointing to those who have experienced anything better, even if they are seemingly a godsend to everyone else.
