Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games… and each other. But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean? Wii sounds like “we,” which emphasizes this console is for everyone. With each passing year, video gaming has become an exclusive experience. The complexities of some of the newest games have alienated those who used to play games with their entire families. Wii changes all that. Nintendo has created the most inviting, inclusive video game system to date. Thanks to our unique controller, anyone of any age or skill level can pick up and play games on Wii.

The Wii console arrived via Fed Ex in just two days in new, perfect conditon. Came with Sports package (I ordered the Wii Fit separately). It came with all cables to hook into my new 42 inch plasma tv, and it is a bright, crisp picture. I have been a real couch potato for too long, and this is so much fun, I have been playing it every day for hours, especially the team tennis. You can play one person, as I do, against the games pre-existing characters, or purchase additional remotes and play as a family. I ordered a nice spungy mat, so as not to wear out the carpet, and to protect my feet.
Also, between tennis sets, or golfing, etc., I watch the weather around the globe, and up-to-the-minute news updates, as it is Wi-Fi enabled, and connected to my router.
In one week's time my arms are noticeably regaining a more youthful shape. My legs and tummy, too. It has got me up and moving and playing/feeling like a kid again. Even my mood has been lifted. The best part is you can move at your own pace avoiding injuries, while having a boatload of fun... I purchased another set today (at retail price) from Circuit City for a family with a kid. They are going to love it too!!!! If all that was available was just the Sports Package, this purchase was so well worth it.

Pros: Video gaming with physical interaction, great graphics

Review: Apparently, the Wii system, the Wii Fit, some games and some accessories are so hard to come by, the vultures errrrr the sellers on eBay (who charge double) are laughing all the way to their banks or Paypal accounts. Recently, I strolled into my local... Read Full Review by criteeker, Jul 1, 2008
Pros: Fun, small, approachable for all ages, innovative control, Fun
Cons: Graphics

Review: Nintendo has always been a very innovative company and the Nintendo Wii is an absolute perfect example of that. Nintendo knew they could continue with the current trend of upgrading processors, graphical capabilities, and other hardware continually to... Read Full Review by fenrir84, Jul 1, 2008
