After many times of looking and trying to find a Wii in our area. We got our hands on a Wii yesterday at Fred Meyer. YAY!!
We are so tickled to finally have it. Its so much fun. Though we really need the extra controller so we can play with each other on it.
but so much fun and so worth it!! I can't wait to get some more games for it. But at least Wii Sports is super fun and so interactive. Love it!

We got one for the kids for christmas and their only complaint so far is that they can't get on because I am hogging it trying to get my bowling average up...LOL. I think it's a great idea...they don't just sit there like zombies playing the games, they actually have to move around and at least get a little exercise. [inked4life]
That's a common problem whwn Kids are introduced to such gadgets.It may be a much more major problem in the days to come.It would be better if you allot times for outdoor games also. [saikiranx]
Wow, lucky. I want a Nitendo Wii pretty badly though, I might get it in the future, for sure I hope so alot. You should but the Zelda game, it seems very great, of course there are alot of other games worth playing too =D [Jens14]
yeh even I want the nintendo Wii very desperately. [saikiranx]
I told my husband that I would love to have one of the Wii. But, we can really live without it. The amount of time we would spend on it would be minimal. The grandkids would most definately love to come to Oma and Opa's much more. [ElusiveButterfly]
eww you play with wii's [Adderz]
I got my Wii right after Christmas. Was lucky enough to just happen to be at Target when they got their shipment in. I love the Wii. I absolutely love the Wii Sports game. That is pretty much the only game I play although I also have Tony Hawk and Happy Feet. Tony Hawk is also a favorite of mine. [kjscrafts]
I think the Sony Playstation 3 is a much better option than the nintendo Wii because it also has blue-ray disc player. [saikiranx]
Good thing you didn't have to hold your "wee" to get a Wii! I bet that it is a lot of fun and everyone wants to get their hands on it! And, I bet that it would be a lot more fun and everyone would be more tickled if you did get an extra controller!! Congrats on getting the Wii, I am sure that it is FUN!! :D [rsmith512]
That is so wonderful! ^_^ I'm glad to hear that you and your family are enjoying it. Do you know, I haven't had a new game system since the Sega? Sega Genesis, I guess. I only had one game for it. Or two. I had many games for the Nintendo 64, though. I sometimes miss playing it. I wonder if it still works. I'm not even sure where it is in the house. We also had an Atari game machine when I was about 5-6 that we have that I think still worked the last time I tried it several years ago. We had lots and lots of games for it. I loved it so much ^_^ [shywolf]
I wanna have one T.T , good for you =) I think Zelda its the better game for nintendo, i suggest you to buy it ;) [darksouleater]
I have been wondering about the Wii for a while. What games come with it? How hard is it to use? In my opinion from what I have seen, I was guessing it may be a bit too complicated. Any way it would be nice to hear from some one who actually has it. BTW congrats! [sunshinecup]
Thanks to both of you. That helps me a bunch. [sunshinecup]
You can leave on your wii on for over 24hrs. I dont recommend you to do that because it can over heat and cause damage to a disc. It can also shorten the life of your wii. [fakegod]
Do you mean leaving the Wii on, or playing it for over 24 hours? The Wii is supposed to go into sleep mode when you're not using it, so it won't overheat. [warpio]
The Wii is a fun consol, but I would perfer the PS3 and the XOBX 360 just because of the graphics, but the Wii's controler looks so much fun to use, I might get it soon. [KingNuker]
your lucky hehe. Good for you. [tokster]
My son got one for Christmas and we all love to play it. But we only have one controller. I think that the remote and nunchuck together is like $60. The games are more expensive too. I think they all start at like $50. I think they should come down to at least $35 on some titles. Glad you and your family are having fun with the Wii. [southernpixie]
ah so lucky :( how much was it? i might save up my mylot winnings for 2 years and get one :D hehe Mikey x [mikey67]
It was right around $245 with tax [Penguinsangel]
I bought one befor christmas and auctioned it of on ebay and got 500 bucks for it .yea me! [wiessied]
I heard it was good for more than just playing games. Is that true? Do you hook it up to the tv or through a computer monitor? [michaelkaer]
You can do more than pay games. You can hook it up to a wireless internet router and get access to the Internet, a news updater, and a weather channel update. I have not tried these features yet. You can also put you photos on it through a SD card and edit them and make slideshows. [kjscrafts]
I wish I could have the Wii, is it better than the PS3? What games did Nintendo publish for it? [shomomo]
Congrats on the Wii! My kids are dying for one, but we haven't had the funds to make that purchase yet. Not to mention the fact that they are still difficult to find. What games did you get with it? Please post a review so we can all enjoy the Wii vicariously through you :) [blueskies]
It comes with Wii sports....which is bowling, tennis, golf, boxing, & baseball. VERY fun games and all of those are GREAT excerise. lol [Penguinsangel]
Have you got that new warioware yet? I heard its really good and has a pretty long lifespan [Adderz]
Congratulations on getting the Wii. It has been difficult everywhere to get our hands on one so getting one is a great accomplishment and hope it is as good as advertised. I may have to consider getting one. I have a friend who has one and her kids love it. [kgwat70]
Wow well congrats on getting your wii, good luck on finding that extra remote, and finding new games to it. I thought it wont be coming out till feb but congrats anyways. [moneymaka]
