Nintendo Wii; Pretty fun.

I was over at my friend's house playing with his Wii (don't go there with me), and it was actually a lot of fun! We played baseball, bowling, golf, tennis.....but what made it fun was how you use the controllers. Like in baseball, we would get so into it we would actually swing and pitch as hard as we would if we were actually playing. All in all, $250 plus tax is an amazing deal for this console. I have a strong feeling I will probably pick one up soon.

I do agree that the Wii is fun. And definitely worth the $250. However, since there is very little online function, I still think it's a little gimmicky. We have a Wii in our living room, and I don't see my family playing it very often.

I go back & forth with this one. While I think it would be fun to play some of them games & think it's a great console for offline play & great for younger gamers (I have an eight year old son, so it would be perfect), I already have the 360, an old Xbox, and a PS2...

Do I really want to get yet another console? hmmmm. :huh:

Still - I've read that they have a lot of other things to offer for it's "online" capabilities; just don't know if I'd ever use them.

I ended up grabbing a Wii (ha...ha...) today.... only tried the Wii Sports, and it's really really fun! I rented a couple games, bought RE4 (never played it) and Metroid Corruption.

Shall be a fine weekend.

That's awesome - now you can lose weight & get a good cardio workout while gaming! LOL

Let us know how you feel after a few days of swinging that thing around (haha HA)

I grabbed BoomBlox the other day! It's pretty cool... if you were ever the guy that kicks over the little kid's sandcastle at the beach, you would love this game.

Not saying that's me or anything... I worked hard on those castles.

My GF bought me a Wii a few weeks ago. Wii Sports and Mario Kart are my favs, along with RE4, Brawl and Super Monkey Ball.

Dr. Mario Online is a blast as well.

I've been playing Mario Kart a fair bit lately -- fun as hell! Love the drifting, and the wheel adds something new. Too bad it kinda looks like crap -- but that's because I'm playing MGS4 at the same time... That makes any game look like crap!

Graphics aren't THAT important to me but I do know how great MGS4 looks. We should try to play MK online - it plays flawlessly with no lag.

Agreed!! Wii can get really addicting. I REALLY suck at Tennis is real life, but when I hit the Wii courts, I can really clean up. In fact, I played Wii Tennis for the first time and didn't stop for a few hours and next thing I know, I got my PRO status.
I need another light bulb, it's dinner time and I'm hungry.

Omg me and my friends had a drunk Wii Sports night when I first got my Wii... we got so into Tennis (well, I did), that I swung it and whacked it on the corner of a big cabinet. Yea it broke. But I was drunk so it was ok :D

I remember hearing of people smashing their tv screens with the wii remotes and getting injuries like tennis elbow by playing wii sports when it first came out. I don't know but I thought it was kinda funny although I did like the idea Nintendo had with wii sports and such.

Wii sports still remains to be my favourite game on the Wii. There's not really a whole lot out there that's good, since it's an open development platform.

Hey, I could always head out there and pick up M&M Cart Racing!.....

or not.
