 The best video game system August 13, 2008
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 August 9, 2008
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 August 6, 2008

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.
