Love the Wii. Bought it two Christmas ago because my sons really wanted it and it was at a good price. Unfortunately, it seems like Nintendo have stop releasing new games for the system and the new Wii U is not competible with the Wii games.

I dreamed of having the nintendo wii as soon as it was for sale. I had to wait before the price dropped to buy it, but haven't regretted it! the controller is not that easy to use depending on the game, but the moving is fun instead of staying like a zombie in front of the tv.

My kids have had one for a few years now, they love it. Even when my youngest was 4 years old she could play it. I would recommend buying one. It is fun for the whole family to play! They like making their avatars of themselves and the rest of the family :)

my son bought it , and ist is a great system

We love our Wii and all the Games you can find for it. My son plays it daily. I love that netflix is available on. Was very disappointed to find out that it does not play DVD movies on it.

My son received this as a birthday gift and LOVES it. We kept being told it was an old system with poor graphics, however we really like it. The graphics are not as good as the newer systems but they are good enough for my son who loves it.

Bought this for my daughter and her roomates at university. They just love it. They play all sorts of games on it. Great graphics and holds up well to lots of usuage. Games are reasonably priced and lots to choose from.

Love this console. I work out with it often. Could have better girl games available.

I bought an older Wii from a coworker of mine. The wii I bought is one of those consoles that are backwards compatible, but newer Wiis and the Wii U no longer offer backwards compatibility. My dream job would involve playing games, so gaming consoles are big on my wish list. I love nintendo products and the Wii is one of those consoles that are made for the younger generations based on the types of games that are released for it, like Just Dance, and lackof call of duty style games. The Wii is the only console that you can play Mario, Pokemon and Legend of Zelda, aside from nintendo's hand held consoles. Plus the older console I have plays Game Cube games as well, except that you need a game cube controller to play them.

Speaking of controllers, the Wii has almost an over-abundance of different controllers for different games, sterring wheels, hockey sticks, the classic controller, nun-chuck etc. I can't be bothered to purchase all of these different controllers just to play one or two games, I'd much rather stick to my classic controller and the wiimote.

The nintendo eshop on the wii system is also great. It has a bunch of older games that I loved when I was a kids, such as Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 (The american ones though, not in the japanese releases of the games), Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Pokemon Snap. I'm still waiting for certain N64 games to be released onto the eshop, but who knows if they ever will be released.

Over all, I like my Wii. It is not the only console I have, so all the things that the Wii lacks, such as dvd playing capabilities, I can simply use my PS2 for. There are plenty of games available for the Wii, and the Wii U has even more features to play with. It may be geared more towards younger children, but the Wii is also great for the young at heart and nostalgic gamers such as myself.

I love my Wii. However, I cannot stand the games where you have to move your controller like crazy to do an action... I prefer games like New Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong... Classic games!
