Re: Thinking of getting a Wii, got some ?

I just picked up Wii plus Wii FIT for my wife. To my surprise, the entire family has been getting into it and they have been having fun with it.

It seems to me the Wii is orientated for more "together" style of play rather than individuals playing on higher end consoles. Graphics pale in comparison to PS3 or XBOX but that doesn't seem to be the focus of Wii.

Hence the name "Wii".

It was Nintendo's marketing goal. They did a good job.

No, income taxes. Gotta love income taxes when you have kids and get earned income credit.
We got back a little over $5K this year and decided to blow the biggest majority of it. Of course that we have done already so now it's back to living paycheck to paycheck and poor with kids. BUT we'll have fun being poor anyway.

A few of my friends have the Wii and they all love it, I was expecting the kids to like it more but the adults seem to enjoy it just as much, if not more

So far I am loving it. Really glad I got it with all the extras too. Just started up the Wii Fit for the first time tonight, didn't do much with it cause had other stuff I wanted to do as well. My Wii Fit age was kinda surprising though, Wii Fit age is a year younger than I really am. Ordered a few other things for it tonight such as the classic controller to play some older style games. Also getting Tiger Woods 09 golf game, that looked interesting to me.

I can totally relate. Last weekend, I watched my wife's 65 year old uncle have a blast playing the soccer game where you have to hit the soccer balls with your head. It was a riot, the adults took over the Wii and the kids were tic'd off, it was hilarious to watch!
