Well put it like this, the Wii became very hard to get during the holidays, number 1 console Across the world for several months, physical therapists recommend it, as well as doctors, great console to get a workout from, and heck you can get a new wrist disease called Wiitis because the strain your putting on your wrists and junk. So yeah its worth it as the games seem to be getting better and better as the months roll around which means this is the second most people gaming system Nintendo has created since the Nintendo first came out.

I say it's definitly worth buying one. I have one myself and love it. I can't wait for some of the new games to come out either. So I would definitly suggest it, the only problem is getting one, I'm afraid they'll probably be sold out for another few months, so go to the stores when they open (not gamestop though, the wiis there are all bookes) and pray that they are still there.

I say it is a great console, and worth every penny. Wii is more a family / party console that includes every friend / familymember to participate and have fun togheter. I've had my Wii console for about a half year, and I don't regret a single moment that I spent my 250,00 EUR on it. Are you looking for a console that provides great graphic and higher gaming experience, maybe a better choice for you is to spend your money on a XBOX360 or a PS3. But are you looking for something new, something different, I'll promise you will be gladly suprise of what Wii can give you. It's fun, its entertaining and activate you in a way that no other console on the market can.

When it comes to games, I still love Wii Sports, and are often played at home. But I can also recommend Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil 4.

Hehe, Wiitis, I havent heard of it, so by curiosity I Googled and found:
QUOTE

New England Journal of Medicine had a report detailing the condition "Wiitis". Here, a 29-year old medical student woke up with shoulder pain, had it checked out and was diagnosed with "acute tendonitis isolated to the right infraspinatus" as a result of playing too much Wii the day before!
source: http://scienceofsport.blogspot.com/

Thats fun, but in personally consideration I think I rather having a portion Wiitis than having a Playstation thumb or a Playstation Lip.

The same thing as last year, thought Nintendo should had expanding their production due to the demands on market. Still popular christmas gift, I guess!

Yes, it's worth it.

For $250, you get a console system that's fun to play by yourself and if you're willing to throw in another $250 or so, great memories can be had with up to four players with games like Wii Sports, Mario Party 8, and my personal favorite: Rayman: Raving Rabbids.

It's great with all ages, from kids to older folk alike. If they're not much of a gamer, it's always nice to give it a try. I got my parents to play with it and they don't even play console games. tongue.gif

The console itself is rather easy to learn and very natural, in a way, since you're using movement instead of trying to memorize buttons, combos, and ways to do things. It's rather intuitive and simple at the same time, really.

I haven't met anyone I know that has one that is actually disappointed, unless they are THAT appreciative of the eye candy that the 360 and the PS3 puts out. I like my eye candy as well, but overall fun trumps beautiful graphics.

I used to sell the things, so I know a bit...

1. don't goto Sears, we don't seem to carry it EVER!
2. buy a nun chuck if you can when you buy the console, it doesn't come w/ one, and lots of games need it.
3. if you're for blood and gore, and lots of it, go for a different console

otherwise, I've heard it's very hard for some games, and if you a big Legend of Zelda freak, and a critical about each game you'll be mad to find out that the world is inverted from the gamecube version because of how the system operates (or something), and that also if your into guitar hero, prepare to be weirded out when the guitar vibrates when you miss a note (if you get it).

generally (as you've seen above this post), it IS a fun console, and you can always try and play it for awhile at your local mall tongue.gif

I would like to thank you all for taking the time to reply to my thread and i have actually learnt alot about it and i wouldnt mind playing it with my family because i have 3 sisters and they all want one so i have made my decision im getting one. I can't believe there $250 that is so cheap it is worth every penny and i look forward to playing mario party 8, we just recently got mario party on ds so i imagine on wii would be alot better.

Kind regards, Jordan.

well i dont have a wii but i do gett feedback from two of my friends who does have one my first is a little less hyper so he tend to sit down and not do much of the interactive stuff but he says it's pretty fun playing the wii especialy with other people he says "it's fun watching them go crazy and over react." my other friend is very hypper active and loves jumping around so she loves it and think its good all around. so over all i'd say it sounds great.
from my opinion though if you're looking for high end best and greatest graphics the wii is not for if you're looking for more fun go ahead.
