I bought a new Wii on Ebay. Now I am not sure I want it. If I open the package, I will come no where close to reselling it for what I paid for it, even though I got a great deal on it. I want to know from you Wii owners if it is everything it is cracked up to be. Would you buy it again? Do you play it a lot? What are your favorite games?

Chrissy0277 · 07-06-2008, 07:22 AM

I love my wii and actually play it alot.. I like that you can buy and download old games. Which I might add.. Seemed easier when I played them years ago lol

Javathon · 07-06-2008, 07:34 PM

We love the Wii! It can keep 4 boy's out of your hair when you need to get some house work done! Also my husband and I like to battle it out on the Wii sport's ( he hates when I have the higher score then him and we have to have rematch bowling tournaments

)

RachelGenson · 07-09-2008, 05:26 AM

I love the Wii! You should definitly keep it and buy Mario Kart, its great, and soo much fun, My boyfriend and I are really competive and when I feel like beating him I'll say "Lets play the Wii"!! We are looking to get the Wii Fit also, I just think its very interesting and entertaining, plus our neice and nephew think is the greatest thing ever, so they love coming to our house!

We got the kids one for Christmas & we all played it alot when we first got it, then the new wore off & nobody here played it very much. We got rid of it. It`s a good work out though. It`ll get you sweating. My son had the wrestling game & it was sooo funny watching him jump around swing the remote around:.He would be wet with sweat after he got finished playing.

Gracie2006 · 07-09-2008, 05:38 AM

The Wii arrived and I decided to keep it. I set it up last night. I tried bowling and tennis, stunk at both but I am getting the hang of it! I have done some research into the Wii fit and don't find stellar reviews, so anyone seriously considering it might want to do more research before investing. Any suggestions for games for me would be appreciated. I am an older gal, grew up with Pong, Pac Man and later in life enjoyed Super Mario Brothers. I have considered getting Super Mario Kart.

chachi · 07-09-2008, 05:42 AM

We are getting one today so Ill let you know

Julie1760 · 07-15-2008, 07:23 AM

I just won a Ebay auction and I know I paid way too much, but we got our stimulas check, so what the heck, but I'm sure Hubby won't be to happy about the price. I got a bundle with

New NINTENDO Wii Game Console

+ New 55 games (5 SPORT + 9 PLAY + 40 Fit + 1 Mario Kart)

+ 4 Controllers (2 Remote Controllers + 2 Nunchuk Controllers)

+ 2 Wheels for Mario Kart + 1 Balance Board for Wii Fit

Where do you go to download old games? I'd really be interested in how to go about this.

I can't wait till it comes. I sure hope it gets here before we leave for our cabin in Canada. We leave on the 25th. It will come in handy since we only get one channel on the TV. Plus, my husbands 2 nephews and their wives are coming up so it should be fun.

chachi · 07-15-2008, 07:35 AM

We just bought one for My Daughter she loves it. I am going to get the Wii fit next week

Izzy Princess · 07-15-2008, 07:39 AM

OMG we finally were able to get one this past week (we have many friends who have one and played a lot). They are sure hard to find if you are not getting them on Ebay or from a website.

We found ours at a GameStop. I also got the WiiFit but haven't hooked it up yet but again my friends have and it's so much fun.

It is worth the $$$ and something you go back to play all the time. I am hooked on the bowling.

Finally something for us folks who are not really gamers.

What did't they like about the WiiFit? I have several friends who have it (including my Pilates/Yoga instructor) and they rave about it constantly. I'd be curious...I know it's not easy on the WiiFit but that's the point..to make it challenging so we get off our butts..lol.

Hahaha..my husband and I do the same thing. He is sooo competitive and I beat his butt all the time with bowling and he always wants rematches!

I like the bowling also. Its the only one I play so far. I tried baseball and I kept striking out LOL! By the way I did a thread about the fit and heard nothing but good things about it. I cant wait to get mine. We got our Wii at gamestop also
