 wii may be the 2nd best system out there (windows PC bing best) August 18, 2008
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

Bringing action to action games August 16, 2008
I purchased this as a present for my spouse and quickly found myself addicted as well. I love how the games make you a part of the action rather than just a passive member. I'm looking forward to the next generation of this gaming system.
A system from Nintendo that brings back the old Nintendo gameing days. August 15, 2008
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 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.
Really a Great System for the whole family !! August 9, 2008
