I got this exact system bundle last fall before Thanksgiving. I like it alot as a Nintendo owner since NES came out. Games are good and fun even for adults as I play Dead rising chop till you drop a really good fun game,that is better than the xbox 360 version gameplay wise.The only thing I can't stand about it is the motion control system is not so good doesn't respond well ect.It also is terrible for sports games like Tiger Woods.That was the only sports game I have tried on wii didn't like the motion control.That's why I recently got an xbox 360 for sports games and others not on wii like Assassins Creed,Brutal Legend,Golden Axe beast riders ect. Graphic's wise they are better than playstation 3.Another good thing I love about it is playing my old gamecube games on it as well as downloading old games from the other systems NES,SNES,N64,Sega,Sega Genesis ect.Another minor thing I don't like is no dvd playing capabilites like on xbox 360. Games are fun and I like playing FPS on wii rather than 360 controllers are easier to navigate for shooting ect. and some are alot easier.I still play and love the classic's though like Mario,Zelda,Megaman,Metroid,Castlevainia,Pitfall ect. super Mario Bros. Wii is great specially that 4 people can play at once on the same level throughout the game.So the graphic's arn't as detailed as xbox is so what it is still a good system that I will never part with and this is a good start for a kids first game system and it is cheap now than it was when I got it 150.00 when I got it.Now I go back and fourth between the wii and xbox 360. Lego series games are alot of fun to play and challenging too not just for kids as I love playing Lego Batman 2 and Batman the Brave and the Bold. I recommend this to anyone wanting an affordable modern system that is fun and not just for families or kids.If you like Nintendo get this.

I got a wii last fall the one with gamecube ports. I like it but feel the wii motion falls short and has it's flaws as sometimes the motion bar sensor doesn't read your movements sometimes. I also don't like and am not into virtual gaming at all.I like a regular controller like my gamecube one is. I also don't like the wii mote for most sports games like tiger woods if i wanted to really play golf i'd go to the golf course. also some FPS games the wii mote controls arn't right or feel right and are awkward. The graphic's are ok but about the same as gamecube and should have been way better than that.The best thing about the wii is the backward compatability that you can download any game from NES to N64 ect. and don't need to break out every system you have to play old good games.This is also what had saved the wii from being a complete flop.I also didn't like all the kiddie or family games though some are fine like mario and donkey kong as well as zelda.They also didn't make enough mature games for adults or compete with xbox360 or ps3 games like assassins creed,halo,GTA,killzone,battlefied,gods of war,gears of war ect. Otherwise it is a decent system.I am soon to get an xbox360 but will not sell or trade in my wii as I like playing the old NES,SNES,N64 games I have on it.I do recommend it to any first time gamer or for a family with elementry school kids ages k-6.

Wii Like Family Consoles
PostedJune 20, 2012
I don't think people should compare the PS3 and 360 to the Wii. Its in a class all on its own as the perfect family console. With almost all its games rated E-T with a couple of M rated games that probably won't catch on. Its also a gateway to some of the Nintendo classics like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros and it plays Game Cube games. It even has some hidden potential if you manage to *cough* *hack* *cough* your wii. The wii promotes movement and it started motion control gaming that the PS3 followed with the PlayStation move (painfully similar to the Wii) and the 360 with Kinect (which may start something new). Anyway if you're a graphics geek and you prefer more violent games like Halo or inFamous get a 360 or PS3(They're both great) Need something for the family or a nice starter console? Get the Wii. Oh and for the gamers out there involved in the PS3 vs 360 debate you can't say that either console sucks. They've both had plenty of happy consumers and have each made someone out there very rich.
