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

Blush I am trying my best...and so are Nintendo - just seems to have been tricky for reasons unknown. I think it'll be worth it!

AnnMumsnet · 09/07/2011 11:06

AnnMumsnet · 09/07/2011 11:36

Hi - its uDraw first
Will aim to get a feedback thread up next week sometime.
Bohica - I think they used the old list...will sort out your camera asap!

AnnMumsnet · 11/07/2011 18:28

jemima...they are picking up the wii from the wrong delivery tomorrow and will forward it on to you asap - not sure when it will get to you, but it will.

There will be a formal feedback thread, but it's fine to chat away on here anyway. Grin

AnnMumsnet · 12/07/2011 12:25

Hi - yes you should be getting extra controllers/nunchucks soon!
The first review I think will be looking at the uDraw and (not that I have one) I understand you can play extra games with it - eg pictionary - so please do have a play with all aspects of the uDraw and we'll be sending out the link soon for the feedback thread

AnnMumsnet · 12/07/2011 12:32

Not 100% sure how many you'll get but at least one extra one.

AnnMumsnet · 12/07/2011 17:38

Film makers - there were notes on filming sent to you by email. You don't need to film loads though! Will check re envelope

AnnMumsnet · 14/07/2011 14:02

I chased the controllers and they will be next week
