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

Got return envelope today. Also got red controller with Wii motion game. Still mo just dance jnrs. Incredibly disappointed. Why send that naff dood game and not the dance game? I wanted dd dancing and jumping about, not staring at a screen trying to catch gems and coins. Eugh.

Has everyone got the Dance JNR game now? We had Wii motion arrive today but no Dance Jnr, DD's are being spoilt brats dissapointed.

Is anyone watching this thread whilst Ann is sunning herself? I need an extra camera envelope as we received 2 cameras here.

HEEEEEEELLLLLOOOOOOO can Helen anyone hear meeeeeeeeeeee?? Grin

RedAmberGreen · 06/08/2011 21:59

Bohica I hear ya!

ruddynorah · 06/08/2011 22:39

My camera isn't going back til I've tested dance jnrs. Very mean to not send it to only two of us. Especially two who are actually doing the filming.

Bohica · 06/08/2011 22:57

I don't want to sound ungratefull because we have had as many very funny & loving moments as arguing moments but the Dance JNR was a clincher for our 3 girls & although I have told them to be thankfull for what they have received they are only children at the end of the day & the arrival of an envelope covered in Nintendo stickers and containing an envelope when they are waiting every day for Dance Jnr must be pure torture for any 7y old.

Fingers crossed that it does arrive seperately, I know some have arrived this way & I do appreciate this isn't a MN organisational problem. I expected more from Nintendo tbh, they must have known what they planned to send out & to how many each bundle would be sent to. 40 bundles pre-made & stored in a warehouse ready to go doesn't sound to much to expect imo.

I'll never get picked for another product test ever again after that rant, will I?

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 09/08/2011 10:04

Bohica - am finding out where your game is, rant excused!

LawrieMarlow · 09/08/2011 10:26

NewGirlHelenMumsnet there is someone on the main feedback thread who hasn't had any extra controllers or any of the extra games. Can't remember the name of the poster but seems very unfair she hasn't had any of the other things at all :(

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 09/08/2011 11:43

Ok, thanks - will take a look and find out what's happening with their extras

MrsSnaplegs · 09/08/2011 11:56

Helensmumsnet - the person on the othe rthread is me - didn't get extra controllers, just dance, doods or wii motion. not sure why not

We are also having the same issues with the video camera, batteries don't last and then cant retain footage

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 09/08/2011 13:11

MrsSnaplegs - yep, had deduced it was you, am chasing now with Nintendo - will let you know. And I'll tell them about the camera
