Nintendo Wii™ Console

Pros: Super creative game play, very original, backwards compatible, classic game downloads, price

Cons: Graphics ehhhh, no online games yet

Review: I got the Nintendo Wii when it came out and was impressed by all the new features and upcoming features like internet browsing and more channels. Playing first person shooters is a lot better on the Wii with the Wiimote than with a traditional remote. I ...

Pros: Excellent Interaction. Great Titles for All Types of Gamers.

Cons: With motion sensitive control and Nunchuck design, The Wii-mote takes some getting use to.

Review: The Nintendo Wii has taken a different approach then Sony and Microsoft. Going back to the fun factor roots, Nintendo has proven that they're very capable of entertaining America with the Wii. With stylish titles like the Mario series, The Legend of ...

Pros: Innovative, good for all ages, easy to pick up

Cons: Controls sometimes jerky, lack of many quality games as of yet

Review: Very fun console. The controls are easy to use. Anyone can easily pick up most games out so far. The only major downfall is that some of the technology seems to not achieve its potential. The online could be much better, the use of Miis are limited, ...

Pros: The controllers are awesome

Cons: Price and availability

Review: I have been hesitant to purchase any gaming system until I found the Wii. When I saw the interaction of the controllers, then i had to get it. Being able to throw a punch with sports game is an awesome experience. You can create your own players ...

Pros: Addictive, fun, great party system.

Cons: Battery life of controller poor, graphics need improvement.

Review: The Wii, although seeming childish, has grown on me very quickly. I purchased this system the day it was made avaliable in USA, and it has simply been a delight. Not only is it easy to set up, but the graphics really are not that bad! It is slightly ...

Pros: It's intriguing and new. Good packaging. Fun if you have enough people.

Cons: If you don't play single-console multiplayer, then hold off.

The Bottom Line: I'd recommend waiting 6-9 months to buy this system, unless you play a lot of single-console multiplayer games.

Review: I know what you're thinking. You're probably saying, "Hey, this guy's cheating! The console's not out yet, how could he possibly have played it?!" Well, if you've got the right connections, you or someone you know already has their hands on one. ...

Pros: motion control, size, built in WiFi, potential.

Cons: boring games, ugly graphics, no DVD playback, expensive accessories, overhyped.

The Bottom Line: Great fun for a while, if played with a few friends. Gets really boring really fast if played alone.

Review: When I first played the Wii at a friend’s house, I thought I’d finally become a gaming convert. I had heard a lot about it and all, but only after I played it I found what it takes to make it work. I’ve seen a lot of people write that the excessive ...

Pros: The cheapest of the current-gen consoles, and the most accessible to newcomers.

Cons: Lack of truly great games and limited online functionality will upset more dedicated gamers.

The Bottom Line: The Wii has a colossal user base, but only a handful of great games. Unless better titles are released more regularly, the Wii may prove to be a missed opportunity.

Review: If you weren't living under a rock for the past year, then you'll most likely have heard of the Nintendo Wii. Launched in September 2006, its unique motion-sensing control system made waves in both established gaming circles as well as the mainstream ...

Pros: Casual Gamer Friendly
Backwards Compatible
Low Price

Cons: Last Gen Specs
Super Sensitive Controllers
Some of the bundled games are difficult to play

The Bottom Line: The Wii is a family system that caters to the casual gamer. It's easy to get into and cheaper than the rest, but also based on last gen technology.

Review: Ok, this is where my true age starts to show, but remember the good old days when people shook their controllers thinking it'd make Mario jump higher? I used to laugh at them, and laugh, and laugh. Then I'd do better than them by holding mine steady. Of ...

Pros: Good indoor fun, several different Sports games can be a good workout

Cons: Expensive, especially if you want to add controllers; limited workout potential and lame graphics

The Bottom Line: I've enjoyed the Sports games (except boxing) and got some good workouts, but I'm not sure the Wii has lived up to all the hype, especially with its high price.

Review: Okay, you probably won't find any earth-shattering information in this review. It's what, the 178th review of the Wii on this site? What could I possibly add to the discussion at this point? I think the best I can do is get specific about my personal ...
