Daughter likes it 'cause you need zero concentration and skill to do bowling. 

Now I gotta figure out a way to get the IR sensor bar to stay on top of the projector screen. Pain in the ass these things.

I figure the Wii is a good intro for my daughter, as she will be forced into Halo 6 Death Matches with me in the distant future. Gotta get those little fingers in shape.

I enjoy the classic titles and the legendary Nintendo cannon. I haven't really gotten into the whole "Wii Fit" thing. Eat that, Nintendo!

While I enjoy keeping up with the great first-party games, the Wii pretty much blows in regards to any kind of online activity. For Nintendo, the social thing happens in the living room. Jim dandy and all, but not usually practical.

As for a wireless "Wii bar" Funk and I made our own. $7 at Trash Shack gets you the parts you need to convert the wii bar that comes in the box.

I got it for my wife and daughter last summer with the Wii fit. Cool game I have some games for it but not realy my choise for gaming. I will say StarWars Clone Wars Light Saber Duels is a cool game if you're a StarWars fan. The FPS are a challenge as you need the gun and using the controler on the back of the gun to mov around takes some getting used to. Wii Sports is a great family interaction game. But FPS a no. although some of the games like House of the Dead is fun. Mario Kart Racing is a fun one also.


Myself, I still prefer the 360 for my gaming choice. All in all you wont be disapointed getting it.

Family wise, it's a great pickup.

PICK IT UP.  You will be glad you did.

Ya, its for my wife and kid. Do you know how long the cable is that sits on top of the tv? I've got a projector, so I need about 20 feet or so from the screen to the ceiling, inside the wall and out to the console. I've seen a wireless controller reciever (whatever you call it). Wonder if that works ok?

Is there a mic to talk to another friend playing online?  -Moneyknuckler

IMO the Wii sucks as far as matchmaking.  But I would not let that stop you from picking it up.  Overall I think it is a great console.  The control and games are unique and very entertaining.  You are and your wife will have a blast competing against each other in bowling, golf, and tennis, with the supplied Wii Sports cart.

My wife wants one for Christmas. How is the online experience between friends? I read somewhere that there isn't much in the way of Matchmaking. What's it good for?
