We got ours at best buy 2 days after christmas, they had about 30 of them on the floor and there was a manager there making sure people only took one.

my good friend had a couple of cousins over from CA and they brought their wii with them so my friend and I got to play a lot of bowling and tennis and it sure is addicting . . . my arms sure got quite a bit of excercise

between that and shovelling snow I could do with a rest on that part of my body for the rest of the year

We love the Wii Sports too. My sister bought said Donkey Kong Barrel Blast is lots of fun but haven't played it yet & my son loves the Mario Galaxy. I'm not sure what other games are good I have been wondering what other games are fun? I do know that the olympics game with mario and sonic on the front got bad reviews on it so I know I won't be buying that one. Anyone else know of any good games?

Haha.... very addicting!

I love all the other Mario Party games so I guess that will be one of the next games we have to get I love Zelda but I'm honestly afraid to buy it I'm a really big Zelda fan and have been know to play it so much I don't see my family for days @ a time and we have already been staying up too late playing it with other games I can't imagine how much time I would spend on it then

LuvmyYorkies2 · 01-04-2008, 08:15 AM

We have the Wii and love, love, love it. My 16 yr old son also has xbox 360 and we also have Playstation 2 but I def. like the Wii the best. We made a smart decision and actually bought the Wii for my 7 yr old son for his birthday in Sept...and boy was I glad. I didn't have to run around trying to find it at Christmas. We got the Guitar Heroes for xmas though and I now make the boys move out of the way when I come in because I got to get my Guitar Heroes in every day now!!!! I'm still stuck on Pat Benatar's "Hit me with your best shot" on easy mode. I can only work with the 3 keys so far(green, red, yellow)...not ready for the blue and orange to come into play yet but one day............lol We also love the bowling, boxing and tennis!!!! It's a great family oriented game system for sure!!!

I actually was able to find a wii for my little brother who's 9yrs old back in Oct. One of my coworkers said there were a couple of wii's available at the Walmart over on Dale Mabry. I told my husband we were going to see if any were left in the morning after work. We managed to snag one. I'm glad I bought it early because apparently they were almost impossible to find after black Friday. I was able to try it out over the holidays and loved it. Told my husband that's next on my wish list.
