Anyone with a Wii?? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AshDawn · 01-05-2009, 12:32 AM

My boyfriend and I (mid and late 20s) bought a Wii for ourselves for Christmas. We love it! We have Raving Rabbids 2 and play it constantly (no Raving Rabbids TV Party for us...yet

). He bought me Cooking Mama World Kitchen as one of my Christmas presents and I'm addicted to it! I'm asking for a Wii Fit for my birthday (I feel like I'm 5, haha).

I bought myself one just after Christmas and I love it. I've been obsessed with video games since my grandson taught me how to play them years ago. I love the bowling, tennis plus I've ordered Mario Galaxy and can't wait to get that one. Mario games are hard to beat to say the least. I find it's a great way to relax and get your mind off your troubles.

We went to pick out some games, but i had no idea what to get! Anyone played Animal Crossing? It looked interesting but didnt know what to think of it. What other games does everyone like????

You can get it online at Amazon with free shipping. I haven't read all the post but if you have Nintendo Cube you can play your games on it.

. We are pretty strict and we review the games before we decide if it is one to add to our collection. We have other gamming systems in our home too but I really like the Wii the best.

Yes they do. It is a cute game

The main part of the game is making different recipes. (There is a two player mode, but it is cooperative...so you take turns on the same recipe.) You do different things like chopping, rolling dough, stirring...all depending on the recipe. Sometimes it's hard to understand what you're supposed to do because the directions on the screen only tell you what direction to hold the controller and what direction your motion should be.

As you complete each recipe, you earn a new one. You also get a grade at the end of each recipe based on how well you performed each step.

The negatives for me are: it can get repetitive as you go through the different recipes, you pretty much have to play by yourself, and trying to understand the motions can be aggravating. That all being said, I'm still addicted

Sorry that was so long...hope it was helpful!

For those of you waiting on a Wii Fit, I can say that I think its worth the money. I've been playing it since Christmas almost every day. I really like the Yoga poses. They seem to help me stretch and relax. The balance and strength games are challenging and fun. I wish there was more to the aerobic activities though. You get a hula hoop game, a stepping game, jogging in place, and a boxing game. The other categories have a lot more choices. I wish this part did too.

The body test is pretty cool and lets you keep track of your weight/bmi and set goals. Also, the rest of my family enjoy the activities too. My 7 year old loves the hula hoop game!

I haven't even gotten to use my Fit yet!!!

I have had some sort of stomach virus...and then my DD takes over the Wii for her Guitar Hero and sports....sigh....I CAN NOT WAIT TO USE IT!!!!

I've been looking for Wii Fit for months now! Everywhere is completely sold out! I can't even find the balance boards anywhere. I'm asking for Wii Fit for my birthday which is in February so hopefully it's in by then!

I just kept checking circuitcity.com everyday until they had some in stock one day. I ordered one, then I think the next day they were out again. Also, if you have 'gamestop' stores, you can call and see if they get any in.

Do you have a gamestop? If so call and ask when they get their shipments and go at that time. Thats how I got mine and I got it Christmas week.

hviola · 01-07-2009, 05:53 AM

Has anyone played "Animal Crossing"? I was looking into getting it with the microphone, but I want to check some reviews before I buy it.

I have been hearing so much about Wii for so long and dh and I decided that this would be our Christmas present to each other ...vs another Tivo.
We looked everywhere and could not find one, nor the the Wii Fit. Finally we heard about Gamestop.com and were able to order it right away !!
So please try going to the sight and ordering directly. It worked for us.
