Although I am not usually a video gamer when it comes to the old fashioned TV, console and controller set up, I was surprised to find this year that I really enjoy the Nintendo Wii. Throughout the year I have been playing my boyfriend’s family’s Wii, but for Christmas I received my own, along with a Wii Fit Plus Balance Board. It really is an entertaining video game console, and I love the wireless remotes that work on a sensor (it makes playing Wii while I’m in bed very easy). Most of all, I love the games! I’m not a fan of the usual point and shoot or RPG games popular with other video game consoles, but I do love that with the Wii I can play tennis, a round of golf, do yoga or play pool without leaving my room. Furthermore, the action of playing these games is so much closer to reality then any other form of video gaming that it really heightens my enjoyment in playing. The player is not pressing buttons or using a joystick to complete actions, but rather they are swinging their arms or running in place or taking aim at the tv screen- which makes the Wii much more engaging than other video game systems on the market right now! I will have to keep you informed of my progress with the Wii Fit- part of me thinks it could be a fun way to get more exercise; I took a run with it yesterday and it certainly felt like working out! Then again, it could just end up being a useless accessory, but you never know!
I love my Wii too! we got ours last Christmas and were all sooo happy when we opened it up.
If you’re looking for entertaining games Pikmin is by far the best Wii game I have played yet!
