Different type of gaming...
PostedNovember 23, 2011
Ok Ill be honest Im a Xbox fan, but with all honesty I actually liked the Wii. Its a great system for families, small children and parties. Its the system that was made by the company that has more iconic characters than any other system. I mean to me I prefer the Wii over xbox kinect. Its more fun and not to mention there are alot more games on the Wii that you can play with friends than on almost any other system. The only downside about this system is that there arnt many single player games for older generations. Most games for the Wii are very childish or its more fun to play with more than one person. So in the end its not a bad system just depends on what type of gamer you are and the games you enjoy.

Hours of Fun
PostedNovember 17, 2011
I've had my wii for 6 years now. Ive spent hours upon hours playing games with my family and friends. Games like: Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Party,* Mario Party 4-8 (*some of theres titles are Gamecube games but work on the Wii), New Super Mario Bros., and many other great games for playing with a crowd. If you're more of a single player gamer, titles like; Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Monster Hunter Tri*(*AWESOME ONLINE GAME), Okami, Maramusa: The Demon Blade, Metroid Prime Trilogy*(* great FPS for gamers who don't mind the fact that you have to actually AIM your controller at your targets) are for you!!! Have I mentioned the fact that you can download a plethera of classic nintendo titles that have MADE gaming what it is today! However the core power of the system is lacking. As far as graphics are concerned, it leaves much to be desired after seeing what the 360 and PS3 frame-rates are able to produce. BUT I think most of the Wii's problems come from the fact they didn't get much support from third party developers. Compare the graphics of most 3rd party games with Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri. That game is gorgeous.

Lacking hardcore, Winning in Family Fun.
PostedNovember 16, 2011
Being one of the three major brands out there, I can easily tell why some people would love, or hate the Wii. Being an owner of all three said major consoles I have been able to see the pros and the flaws with them all. This review will be divided into three parts, the three being the options in Functionality, Performance, and Value.
Functionality: 9
The Wii is known for family fun games, and parties. Or if you are simple a casual gamer, then this is for you as well! The Wii was built around being together, with the neato motion controllers. So while this console may lack in the hardcore department, it truly shines with any other game. Unlike others, the Wii almost never suffers from over-heating. Very few games can claim they have downed this mighty mini-monster, and even fewer have sent them to shop. But if, and when it fails just that one time, Nintendo's better than average support center is on the case!
Performance: 8
It's no surprise that the console's processor and graphics power is lesser than the newer, slimmer versions of it's competitors. Dueling against the PS3, and the XBOX 360 its no wonder that it lacks in such a department. Very few hardcore games have made it onto the platform, and all have had downgraded graphics, and fewer A.I on screen. Call of Duty: Black Ops comes to mind. However, when dealing with simple cartoony graphics, or 2D games - this thing is a gaming beast. Never, should you expect this thing to crash.
Value: 10
You get what you pay for. Seriously. Not only do you have a system that streams movies in HD, with Netflix - it even has an Internet channel, with Free Youtube. Also, with Nintendo's amazing virtual console content, its like buying six for one, and its still cheaper than the XBOX and the PS3.
Final Verdict:
So if your into family games, that of low-key, or ready for a nostalgia induced coma, this system is for you.

This is good for kid gamers.
PostedNovember 15, 2011
The wii sucks. The nintendo games are ok, but they are for kids. The first person shooter games for this console sucks, the graphics are just poor. dont by this, I prefere an Xbox 360 or ps3.
