Wii
- Pros: The most fun system I have played in years. Reinvents the FPS on a console system. The flexibility is wonderful - motions, pointing, rumble, speaker enhanced controllers, with attachments. Parental controls, wi-fi, backward compatibility, internet browsing, virtual console, the list keeps going and going. What other system can play games from 7 different systems? Some games seem admittedly dumb (Warioware Smooth Moves), but are alot of fun to play in a group!
- Cons: Some of the extras can begin to get pricy. The remote is the main controller, but many games require the nunchuck. That's extra cash. Some Virtual Console games require the "classic" controller, more cash. It's true, the graphics max out at 480p, and aren't that much better than the Gamecube. Some titles make better use of the motion control than others.
- Other Thoughts: While the graphics aren't that much better, the hardware is stronger with better visual rendering than available on the GC. I haven't felt this blown away by a game system since I first played a demo of the N64 back in '95 - a time when virtually all console games were still 2D.
Great system!
- Pros: Wow... what can I say? I got mine on launch day, along with Legend of Zelda TP. I absolutely love this system! Wii Sports is great! I can't believe how interactive this system makes you feel. Furthermore, you have full compatibility with the Gamecube.. makes for a good investment! Lots of great launch titles make this one of the best setups I have seen in a long time! No overheating here!
- Cons: For a next-gen system, the graphics are about on par with the original Xbox (which isn't saying alot by today's standards). Sometimes, the motion sensor bar doesn't pick up like it should. But, these are very minor quibbles.. don't let it deter you from buying one of the best systems out there (that is, if you can find one! LOL)! Also, I wish it was DVD compatible.. it would make a great all-around entertainment setup!
- Other Thoughts: At a price less than half of a 60gb PS3, you really can't go wrong with this system. It has such a wide range of options, and has to be played to be believed! If you can find one, BUY IT!

Wii
- Pros: Lots of fun, gets you up and moving around. Game selection is the best of there 3 systems for younger players.
- Cons: Game selection is limited if you want blood & guts.
- Other Thoughts: Best system hands down for younger players.
Not for everyone.. well duh.
- Pros: Surprising addictive gameplay, easy setup, ability to download older console games such as NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Sega Master System, Neo Geo, and so on. Great fun for the family, great tool to be used for exercise. Controls are easy to use and figure out. Ability to play Gamecube discs and take Gamecube controllers as well as SD memory card for storing downloaded games offline. Wifi.
- Cons: No HDMI
No Blueray
No hard drive
Graphics are not as good as a PS3 or Xbox 360.
FPS games can be more than a little clunky with the Wii remote.
Overall game selection can be a bit sparse.
- Other Thoughts: For all the people saying "this thing sucks" so on and so forth, obviously the Wii is not for you, so why even bother reviewing it if you're just being totally bias against it. And mine does not collect dust, it gets played alot. If you want a console geared towards cleaner more wholesome games and not violence/gore/etc and you're not overly concerned about Blueray, HD, or anything like that then the Wii is for you. Otherwise look at an Xbox 360 or PS3.
- Pros: Dust collector.
- Cons: Game selection is atrocious, thus, you'll use the Wii once every two years.
- Other Thoughts: Not worth $200. Use the money to get a PS3.

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated. The outcome is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device for the ages!
Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.
In addition to its pointing and motion-sensing abilities, the Wii Remote also includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk.
The Classic Controller allows you to play classic games available through the Wii Shop Channel with ease. This controller is sold separately. |
