Following a trend begun with the GameCube and continued with the DS handheld, Wii evidences a significant split of Nintendo's philosophy from those of its consolemaking competitors, Microsoft and Sony. As suggested by its development codename, "Revolution," Nintendo did not want this console to repr.. More

This is a great gaming system. It gets you off your butt and puts you right in the game. I love it!! You can play tennis, golf, boxing, and so many other things. The extra remote and nunchuck is a must have!. Once you see how fun it is you will want to play everyone that comes over. This is a great system for kids of all ages and adults that will always be young at heart! It was worth all 17 hours in the cold. Have fun & happy gaming!

I'll start off saying I bought the wii on launch day and so far am more than satisfied with it. Yes, the graphics are not next gen, they are slightly better than xbox but, with time will probably find a medium between xbox and 360 graphics. Then, again if you bought it, you know you get fun and innovation, not a supercomputer as nintendo is trying to prove is better. I couldn't agree more. I have Red Steel, Zelda, Madden, and Call of duty 3. So far I think they have pretty much nailed it. The only game I have a problem with is Red Steel, the aiming system is difficult. The controller is great for any FPS, the precision is excellent. I have never felt more immursed in an FPS. Same with Zelda, I feel as if I am actually Link at times swinging my sword. Not only is it great for hardcore gamers but, also for the whole family. My dad is now playing games for the 1st time since SNES. Wii sports is fun for everybody and so is a game like Madden. Nintendo WIFI isnt up yet but will be soon. Next years line up looks unbelievable. Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Smash Brothers Brawl with online play. Lastly, its only $250 and is so quiet you will never even know its there. If you want the most fun out of your games, go with the wii.

I love this system as soon as it was shown as the revolution and then switched to wii which I like it's pretty nice in my opinion also the controller is nice I was finally able to test it at gamestop and later at my friends it's so much fun, right now best game to play with others i'd say Rayman: raving rabbids and Wii-sports.
The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess is great I only played it some at my friends house I didn't want to play alot of it till I get my own wii to enjoy it so I only have a small impression of it, but it's great the manual is nice, the boxart and the disc is really nice any zelda fan would love it only if the game case was gold that would made it even better.
Zelda:TP is pretty muchly a port of the GC version, but it's great none the less I reccamend you to buy this if you will be getting a wii anytime soon both GC and Wii version is pretty muchly the same, but the controller and some minor differences on the wii with widescreen etc. I give this game 6/6

Pros: The controller is great the speaker is nice not as bad as people say. Good graphics i'm sure they can do better.
Cons: Not many as I can see besides the retailer system mess-up, but NOA makes up for that for responding to it quick.

Lets face it. Nintendo has been making games since long before the Xbox or Playstation. the graphics may not be the best of the three, but hey, i still think the N64's graphics are pretty good. besides, the only thing i can think of that really needs top-notch graphics are FPS, such as Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, so you can snipe enemies without a scope from across the course. Sure, graphics are nice, but when you have games like Super Smash Bors. Brawl or The Ledgend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, who really cares? Mario/Link still looked good enough in their NES days,
AND their games were tons of fun. Who needs graphics if you have crappy games(GTA is the most horrifically violent and pointless game i have ever played)? oh yea, and did i mention that you can play pretty much any nintendo game? yea, i'm pretty sure you can download them onto the Wii. thats like getting 5 systems for $250. So would you rather spend an extra $350 for a playstation, or get a Wii AND Xbox360? seriously, $600 is ridiculous. so, in review, buy a Wii!!!

this is a system that I would be willing pay more for not like some insane $600 for but I would pay extra. of coures the nintendo folks are dedicated to their fans and always start the price of their new systems like 300 or 200 or something the only problem is that i sit on a bed located directly in front of the T.V. followwed by a wall in my brothers room and the sensor isn't picking up the signal off the controller. good for the price

Pros: cordless control, plays GC games, small
Cons: remote sensor bar loses signal if to close to control

Unlike a lot of people that arewriting reviews i actrually own the consol.
This consol is NOT 600$ it is 250$. The reson it is so expensive is they are showing you a PACKAGE price. The package comes with a bunch of games and accesories. Now onto the review.
This system is a great system. The innovative control scheme is great but the graphics are just not up to par. Even though they are 1.5 times better that the PS2 they are not even in the same catagory as the PS3 or the 360. It is worth getting due to its low price but you will have trouble due to the fact it is sold out everywhere except ebay. Don't buy it on ebay because the prices are too high. Wait till stores get them and are not sold out in a matter of minutes.

Now, let me say up front that I have been a fan of Nintendo since the day the NES came out. However, there was a period where I was not happy with the Revolution (as it was then called), because of the fact its dead last in terms of power, and for fear that no one would make ports for it because of the oddball control scheme.
However, that said, I love my Wii, and will happily take it over the 360 and the PS3 any day of the week. As for the graphics, well, like I said, I'm about as old school of a gamer as you can get (my first system was an Atari, only the Coleco people have got me beat), and I can tell you from 20 years of video game play experience that graphics don't mean squat if you don't have great gameplay to back them up.
For the first time since the SNES, I truely think Nintendo stands a good chance of retaking the dominate position in the market. Only time will tell.

Pros: Download every NES, SNES, N64, SEGA Genesis, and Turbographix 16 game ever made.
Cons: Not as powerful as competitors

My husband and I absolutely love the Wii!! It takes gaming to a whole new era. At least we don't just sit on the couch all day playing it. It requires phyisical activity. Our only problem was that we had to buy another $40 controller just to play another person without switching around remotes. My two sisters have come up to stay with us and both have had so much fun playing. At first my husband looked stupid playing but once I got into it, it was to much fun to let down. I reccommend this to anyone who wants a game to play but with a new twist. This is something I would let my daughter play because you can't sit down on the couch to play it.

What I love about the Wii is that it appeals to young and old, gamers and none gamers.if you dont want new games, they have a huge selection of true classics on a downloading system, (VC).It gets you off the couch, into another world. one minite, your in your living room, anonther, your hitting home runs in a baseball field. It also has a one of a kind mainscreen menu. it can show you pics from your SD card, you can make cartoony 3-D avatars for your games, check the wheather, browse the internet, look at the latest news, and send messages to all your friends!!!!!!!!!!!
If I was you, id forget the Xbox and Playstation 3, just go to the store and buy yourself a Nintendo Wii!

I love my Wii! It is awesome fun. Using the controller as you do puts you right in the game, and for a girl who never really got into video games previously, this set surprised me. I love it. Hard to find, yes, but worth the wait. I got lucky and happened to be in a WalMart 7 days before Christmas when they announced that they had just gotten 5 Wii's and I ran back to electronics and got the last one. What a find. Well worth the money. Great family fun. Everyone should have one. The graphics are very simple in the included Sports game.. but haven't really tried any others so maybe it's just that game. It won't matter tho.. you won't even notice once you start swingin' that bat or club and practicing your hook shot at the lanes. Great, great system.

Games may be a good way to challenge oneself, but the extreme that these games provide let the kid stay inside all day long and do nothing. I hope parents limit there use so they dont have kids with problems. But like I said before..not worth the price and to expensive.

The nintendo wii is awesome, i got it like a year ago. there is no problem with the system.{unlike the 360}. the games are awesome like mario kart wii, super mario galaxy, and ssmb Brawl, and others. What i like about the wii the most is the controller{wiimote}. that is one cool remote. I think it is better than the 360 or ps3. even though the graphics aren;t as top-notch as the 360 or ps3. The wii brings unique gameplay, and gets you off your butt in some games,well most of them.Plus its only $250. compared to $500.for ps3. the 360 is cheapest of all three as of now. but if you want a system that is very fun, lasts you a good long time, and get some sort of workout, then the wii is your system.
