Anyone who has a NINtendo Wii, could you tell me what you think of it please?

Thinking of getting one for the family for christmas, what does everyone think of them. Thanks

oh good thankyou very much
I have seen one being played and had a teeny tiny shot on one game but was being hassled by todder and baby so wasn't taking it in. I thought it looked fantastic and had alot of fun considering I played for all of 2 and a half mins. I have a 7 yr old and a 2 and a half year old. do you think it will get enough use in the years to come. I also love videogames and will use it tons too

thanks cali, that sounds good
.....especially the playing after the dcs have gone to bed

WE love ours here (although don't play tennis if you have low lights
even dd (3) is getting quite good at golf!

you're very welcome mary
I just told dh that mn think they are fab and pleeeease can I get one for me the girls for christmas and he said yeah sure, sounds good

oh cool whoops, awww sweet..your 3 yr old playing golf

yes! But she can get bored easily and mess around

Oh we have one and I LUUURVE it, it's the only computer game thing that's ever held my attention for more than a day. I think everyone should have one, they're wonderful.

I won one in a MN competition and my children thank me regularly. DS aged 4 is the most hooked and would play it all day if I let him, which I don't. However you do feel that less guilt due to the amount of movement then I would think with a regular games console.

Sports is good fun and we often have family bowling matches, beware though I did once clump ds on the head when playing tennis! We also have Raymans Raving Rabbids, which we have all enjoyed playing and a few others. One of the good things about it, is that we often all join in including me and dh.

Lets put it this way, if it broke would I replace it - oh yes.

We are thinking of getting one for DD this Christmas too. 5yo DD has used them at her friend's houses and loves it. Her favourite is bowling.

I am currently going through her stuff that she no longer uses, and outgrown clothes, etc. to build up some csah in my PayPal to fund some of it so her present doesn't cost us too much!

DD is very keen to get the HSM game coming out next month, plus the Sports pack.

Just need to look out for deals now.

thanks scanner
how cool to win it from mn

The Wii Fitness that is due to com out sometime looks great. There is a demo for it on You Tube.

Dcs saved to buy one and it's arriving tomorrow. They were devestated delivery was attempted while I was at work, so they have to wait until I pick it up from the Post Office tomorrow.

I'm not sure who's more excited - me or them.

love love love love it!

have just bought boogie for it and thats great fun, we have a few games and DH has some birthday moeny to buy some more, just hoping he goes for warrios smooth moves!

We got one for FIL and we loved it so much we got it for ourselves. We all have lots of fun. The only bad thing is that we are regularly humiliated by our 4 year old DS in bowling. They have a dance dance revolution game coming next month, which I think will be great exercise for me. I do like the fact that it gets you up and moving.

Marvellous, extremely useful if you have (competitive) friends round for beers aswell!

we don't have one, dc are too young and I'm usually not very keen, but I've just read the review of "trauma center" and I think I might be changing my mind...

My whole family love it - but I'm not that interested myself.

do you think there will be shortage of them again this xmas?

Am wondering whether to buy it soon,although have no money atm

They're great, v family friendly, quite active, much better that PS2 type things as more active/fun/joining in type stuff.

i too started a thread about this.
we decided to buy one for christmas but the big question is WHEN? they are bound to be in short supply, but if you buy now you waste a few months guarantee

someone said to me today that there were some really good package deals around at the moment, so worth having a look and seeing what savings can be made. the must hav item for the wii this christmas i think will be the wii fitness and sensor board

dh says to buy now
he has been trawling the web since he said earlier that we will get one and it looks to be THE thing this christmas that everyone os going to want and that manufacturers are going to restrict slightly to keep the hype going after christmas too (this is apparently what they do I'm told)
