The Nintendo Wii has to be the best family video game console ever created. I have two kids of my own, and they constantly want to play games with each other and of course Mom and Dad. Currently Wii Resort is in my system and it has accounted for 70{d0f68332078ae50ae5cd49ede95b9d76bcf00fa473a5a7068cdab9d644705628} of game time played, with so many different challenges and games, it has been really fun.
However, users say the Wii is fun, easy to use and a great way to spend time with friends or family. The Wii has motion-detection game controllers that add “fun and innovating game play”.Some reviewers have criticized the Wii remote in the past, saying it is less than accurate. The motion-detection is a bit off without the addition of the Motion Plus, but with the Motion Plus it is really accurate.
It has a variety of games that could bring the whole family together. Most of the games available are geared toward the younger gamers, but you can always get the old school classic games that we all grew up with such as the original Super Mario Bros. The backward compatibility is a nice feature because it makes you feel as if you have a number of consoles in one. Games from the original Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and the Game Cube also work on the Wii.
The only downfalls of the Wii system are the lack of graphics, not as many adult-oriented games, no CD or DVD playback, and the online gaming platform is a bit lacking. For 2010, the Wii comes bundled with “Wii Sports” and “Wii Sports Resort,” a collection of sports games, but aside from the availability of a version in black as well as in the traditional white, the console itself is largely unchanged. All in all, I think this would be a great system for the family or friends to enjoy.
