I say yes. The wii to me is the best console out there. Wii is fun and you do more than just pressing buttons. It is reallly fun way more fun than the other consoles and its cheaper too. I go for the most fun item. Who cares if it has good graphics because if its not fun thens its basicly useless, so I say yes. The only problem I have with the Wii is because you may hit someone and tough if you have a small space. but it is totally worth it!

I believe it is worth buying. The graphics are awesome and you use a remote instead of a controller. The only downside I know of is that you gotta get used to the remote wink.gif but other than that, yes, it would be worth buying.

I bought it purely for Super Smash Brothers Brawl and the new Zelda. It's pretty cheap and I'm definitely not a real console player unless there's 'Super Smash Brothers' included in the title.

WiiSports is pretty cool though, for about a week. I would buy Xbox360 instead though if your a console fan.

Okay, I've had my Wii for 8 months now...and it's getting better and better,
Especially if you get it hooked up online. You can surf the web,check out the weather, message friends, and of course...play online! They're getting a great stable of games too...Metroid Prime 3, Legend Of Zelda Twighlight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, and The Rayman Rabing Rabbids series. The motion sensing controls are great at times, and crappish at times...it all depends on which game you play it on. As far as the price goes, it's a steal. I have a Wii and I don't regret it one bit...

It's worth it.

I've been wondering this myself for a while... and there's a couple things that have stopped me so far. I'm not really much of a gamer, and though it sounds like fun, I'd probably just end up watching other people use it.

For me, I'd love to get up there and actually feel like I'm part of the action (and I'm not sure just how real it might feel since you're creating the actions yourself), but at this house, the only place that we could set one up is in the living room, which is (of course!) right behind a large window that faces the street through which everyone would be able to see me looking like a goof ball. Maybe other's wouldn't think much of it, or think, cool.. I have one of those... or wow, I wish I had one, but I'd still be too embarrassed to really enjoy it in the location that it would have to go.

Then again, I've also heard that the game play isn't anything all that special, and that there are so many better games for the other systems... that it sort of puts a damper on my idea to get one.

The other problem (and this is true for all the systems) is the cost... I don't know if I could shell out that kind of cash for something I might not enjoy. I've never played it myself, so I don't know just how much I'd like it. I think I'd really have to go out there and play around with someone's so that I could better decide whether or not it's the gaming system that would make me happy that I bought it.

I think that if it was able to go somewhere that people couldn't watch me, and if the price didn't phase me too much then I'd probably have gotten the gaming system already. But for now, I think I'll hold off and see what the second generation of Wii is like. Perhaps they will have taken people's complaints to the drawing board by then and come up with an improved version of the system. Plus then they'd have time to work out the little glitches, probably offer more and better games that would have higher quality graphics and better controllers to play with.

I've played Wii twice: once I played Need for Speed (Carbon I think) and I got to say that I was stunned by that way of steering. It was a cool feeling.
But when I played some tennis I wondered how you can develope such a bad game nowadays^^ The graphics was laughable and I wondered what the developers wanted to be the exciting element...
However, I'll never buy a console and especially the Wii is not worth the few money I got. I'd rather upgrade my PC and buy some rts games wink.gif

Well I love the wii. Yes the graphics aren't the best on some games.
Besides themain point of the wii was to revolutionize gaming.
Wii sports is a demo game of the sort so yes it won't have good graphics.
Now on lets say Red Steel the controls are kind of clunky.
It takes some getting used to. But once you are used to the controls it is one of the best shooter games ever.
And recently they came out with the balance board (for snowboarding, skating, etc.)
And the wii Zapper.
The wii zapper is for shooting games.
Plus, you can buy classic games which are awesome.

Wii is like many of you replying in this thread, not a system unit revolution!
It is a control revolution, by making games more interactive and fun!

Well, I think that would depend on what type of gamer you are and what games you like to play.


My cousine Tuomas (who are detailfreak and owns a xbox 360) first look at my new invested Wii, didnt impressed him
at all. He didnt liked what he saw nor wanted to test wii sports, to find out for himself.
He only said it looked poor and childish, maybe more enjoyible for the youngsters!
In comparison for me who was overwhelmed by the features.
I bought a Xbox, 2004, and my best friend had a PS2, and i thought that next console i purchase must be something new.
It doesnt mattered if the graphic didnt took me by suprise, or if the manufacturer were some other than the big companies
like Sony or Microsoft.
Today when i look back to that day in the store, where i bought my Wii console, I havent regret one single day that I choosed
Wii console as my next gen console choice.

It is worth buying, and its a perfect party console to kill time with your friends or family.

Yes, it is.

I've only played on one before, but I was extremely impressed at it. It left me feeling really happy. It was funny to play and I also felt a bit worn out after getting exercise.
