When I first heard of Nintendo's new concept gaming device I scoffed. Never did I think a Wii, would be able to compete with a more powerful competitors, the X-Box 360 of the Playstation 3. The graphics don't seem advance. You can't use the Wii as a DVD player, let alone a Blu-Ray or a HD player. And lets talk about the game play. Traditional Gamers are used to a hand held controller, with a couple of buttons. However, you only have to play the Wii once or twice and your hooked. The controller is wireless. It's almost like Virtual Reality. If you move in real life, you character moves in the game. I recently received the Wii as a gift. Wow. It came with a sports pack. Golf, Tennis, Bowling, Baseball, and Boxing. Well I had played all the games except the boxing. All I have to say is kudos to Nintendo. In a nation of obesity and laziness, I'm glad that companies like Nintendo has found a way to get kids to stay active. Even if its just inside the house, you'll definitely burn calories jumping up and down playing these games. And over the weekend I played the Boxing game for the first time. I burned more than a few calories. I know I'm out of shape and the Wii proved it. After playing for about an hour, my back and biceps were noticeably sore.
I never thought I would ever be this excited about the game play of any video game console, but I love the Wii. And if you hadn't done it yet, purchase the web browser. Great for watching YouTube videos. Or checking out your favorite BLOGS!
