Wii!

Wii!

But all seriousness aside, it's quite an interesting and innovative system. Try it out and see

Re: Wii!

I'd love to smash a Wii

The Wii is too advanced. I wish technology wouldn't move so fast. Heck, I'm still saving up for a Sega Genesis

Re: Wii!

My brother has a Wii and it seems quite different from other systems in that it's more like a "party" game that people of all ages can enjoy. My parents are like 70 years old and I could never see them playing any Xbox or PlayStation games, but they absolutely love playing the Wii.

Re: Wii!

Yeah, Nintendo did a really good thing when they made a machine that would cater to more casual gamers. Now if only they'd come out with more games

Re: Wii!

My sister and brother-in-law have one. My six-year old niece rocks the Wii Bowling. I've just played the WiiSports and whatever Super Monkey Ball game they have for it.

Re: Wii!

My kids have a Wii, they really seem to enjoy it. My little boy has a hard time understanding that he has to hold the controller like a bat or a tennis racket when he's playing sports, but my daughter is really good at the bowling game. I like that they get some exercise while playing a video game.

I tried tennis one night and the next morning my arm was sore from moving it so much.

The bad thing, there aren't many games out yet. The good thing, you can play the Gamecube games on it.

Re: Wii!

I'm saving up to get one. I'm not a huge gamer, but Wii seems very different. You actually can get excersise with it.

Re: Wii!

Has anyone played Manhunt 2 on Wii? I've always wondered what it was like because I heard you can use the Wii remote as a weapon, so like if you pick up a knife or something, you can make stabby motions.

Re: Wii!

I'm addicted to Super Paper Mario. Help.

The only thing that freaks me out is that at a certain point in the game, you acquire BOWSER as an ally. Totally goes against all I grew up with.

To geek out a bit but make my point, "Star Trek" fans grew up hating Klingons as well but suddenly they were faced with Worf and seemed to adapt OK. You'll get used to it.

That was incredibly nerdy, but well put.

I swear, the game is like crack. Kin doesn't know why I like it because it is incredibly time consuming and you have to figure out a lot of puzzles and whatnot before you can get anywhere. He's also freaked out that I'm so patient with it because (as you might know) I'm not the most patient person on earth.

Re: Wii!

The Wii is hacked. I have knowledge that the hack works. For people that have hacked the Nintendo DS, it's about the same for the Wii except time consuming, but far far cheaper.

Re: Wii!

I've had the Wii for over a year now. I haven't played in awhile. Got the Wii Sports Resort game; played most of the games onnit once. I need to get another Wiimote sensor so I can play against someone else.

My butthead got the wii sports resort and an extra sensor....and I don't know how I feel about it. The sensor is a pain sometimes because I used to kickass at the old Wii Bowling and now we've got this crazy gadget that'll screw you over. It's also crap that you HAVE to have the sensor to play Wii Sports Resort or other games. And it's not really that fun to me....I find myself playing the old Wii Sports. I'm more excited for other games like New Super Mario Bros.
