 Cheap plastic that won't work August 18, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
Don't know where to start, the whole family loved it when it came and it took only 2 weeks and the fun dissapeared. Every disc we put in to play it wouldn't start and it came with a message: CONSOLE CAN'T READ THE DISC, PLEASE READ THE MANUAL FOR MORE HELP. The only answer in their manual and online support is: clean the disc and make sure you put it on the right way - ridiculous.
Kept ringing them every day for 5-6 days and got fedup wasting time & money on the phone. Tried their online service centre with hope that it is going to work - no chance. Funny enough they didn't even recognise my Nintendo's serial number so they put me back to that only number in the whole Company which wouldn't work anyway. Decided to send them an email while waiting in the phone one day, saying please pick up the phone I'm waiting for about 15 minutes and it sounds funny but they did.
Agreed to send it back for repair and I will send it as soon as the pre-posted envelope will arrive but I am not happy at all with the console and their service. I thought it's only me but I searched online for the error: "NINTENDO Wii CAN'T READ DISC" and 1000's of people were having the same problem and the best & only solution was to send it back for repair. They may repair it for me and bring it back fine but why shouldn't that work in the first place, why do you have to spend hours and days in the phone anyway to get through to a person who can help you, why they don't come up with a firmware upgrade for all Nintendo Wii's to solve this major problem that is happening to lots of people? My son has really "tortured" his Play Station for about 4 years now, dropped in the floor many times, knocked, overheated, overplayed, and it's still strong and solid but you could never compare that with this cheap plastic thing that won't work(very expensive though in money).

Well well well, I have played with this thing many atime, and have decided it is pretty naff, it just doesn't have staying power, the only games it seems to have are Multi-Platforms, Bunches of awful minigames, or Nintendo re makes (MARIO AGAIN ANYONE?!)
No one can deny its popularity, but it just isn't as good as everybody says it is, Nintendo just pay members of the public to say it's amazing on television (wii fit im looking at you)
"stand out" games included things like Super Paper Mario (surprised to see mario rear his ugly head?)
Mario Kart (Guess who)
And Smash Bros. Brawl Starring....MARIO!
Okay, hats off to the NES with Mario Bros. and Duckhunt, But they should have left it there, it is clear Nintendo are running out of ideas.
I have noticed that the price on here has dropped by a whole penny, why on earth is this? it should be 20 cheaper by now surely.
So yeah, the Wii... Will play minigames and ps2 ports, the control scheme gets boring after a week and it the only multimedia it can cope with is telling you the weather and showing you how much spare time people have on the Mii Parade.
Let's see where the Wii is this time next year...I'm thinking the back pages of argos with a bundle of about 4 games. (all of which will include Mario Im sure)
It will follow the same path as the DS, one good game every year.
Don't waste 179.99 of your hard earned cash.
WOOPS I mean 179.98!

Decided to get myself a Wii as noticed that you can buy a lot of the old Nintento classic games like Mario 64 etc from the Wii shop. Along with the Wii console you get Wii Sports.
Have to say am truly amazed with Wii, The experience is amazing Mario Kart is ace & Wii sports, like boxing & bowling is excellent. The console has a very small foot print so uses very little space compared to other consoles. The Wii remote is great to hold & use & I love the way you get sound effects through the Wii Remote which really adds to the gaming experience.
If your thinking of getting a Wii, then do you won't be disappointed.

Have just got my nitendo Wii and its great fun and really easy to set up,Wii sports is v good but would advise buying a second controller to make it that much more fun.Will need to buy some more games though asap.

I'm really not a console gamer at all, in fact this is my first console! I was thrilled by the thought of playing tennis in my own home. I have had the Wii for nearly 5 months now and am still absolutely hooked. I would recommend getting some rechargeable batteries as if one if playing every day (as one is bound to do) then you'll need them!
It's fabulous for all ages really - my parents are now hooked too!
It's a must-buy gadget!
