We have another exciting product test for you - we are looking for 40 Mumsnetters who don't already have a Wii at home but would like to take part in "My First Wii Challenge" with Nintendo.

Nintendo say they "are keen to offer Wiis to 40 MN families to encourage them to spend fun time together as a family as well as give them the opportunity to test out some great games". If you already have a Wii, please look out for the feedback thread for this project as Nintendo would like to hear your views too (in exchange for a prize draw Grin).

If you are selected for the test you'll be sent a Wii console, handsets and nunchucks for all the family plus the following games:

uDraw GameTablet with uDraw Studio
Mario Kart
Kirby's Epic Yarn, and
Just Dance Jnrs

We'd then like you to take part in 4 weekly challenges with the Wii. This will involve playing with one game per week and adding your feedback to a thread on Mumsnet.

The challenge will start week commencing 4 July and last for 4 weeks - so please only apply if you are able to add feedback every week in July.

Ideally we're looking for MNers in the UK with at least 2 children.

After the challenge is completed and you have added at least 4 lots of feedback you will be able to keep the console and games for your family to enjoy.

In addition, we will need 10 of the families selected to film themselves and their family playing with the Wii. These videos will be used on the Nintendo pages on Mumsnet in the autumn and possibly elsewhere (they will be hosted on YouTube). If you are willing to undertake the video element please indicate this on the form link below. You will be supplied with a FlipCam (which will need to be returned). You will be briefed on filming requirements but it shouldn't be too onerous.

To sign up please add your details here

Good luck and many thanks

Sad I've been waiting with baited breath but no email...
Don't know why I get my hopes up with these things, I never win and there must be hundreds of people applying. It's the Olympic ticket saga all over again!

Hope all of you who won enjoy yourselves though, lucky things Smile

Ruddy Nora, I'm in! I haven't told the family that I'd applied, so they're going to be over the moon when I show them the email after school!

Thanks for sorting it, Ann!

Fennel · 28/06/2011 13:56

We are in too! My children will be ever so pleased. I think we got in cos I wrote on the application that I think my children should be playing wholesomely outside with sticks and stones, not with games consoles.

5inthebed · 28/06/2011 13:57

I think I might bow it all up and surprise them with it when it comes.

5inthebed · 28/06/2011 13:57

Box!

PippiLongBottom · 28/06/2011 14:01

GUTTED. No email.

I have three kids too. Oh well, lucky I didn't tell them. It would have looked brilliant being filmed on our 3DTV too.
