 The populist choice May 17, 2008

The Wii is aimed at everyone, everybody, everything, as it's supposed to take the traditional amount of button pressing and joypad expertise away from gaming and it make it something much more accessible. Which is a good thing. Now the whole family can join in and play the bundled Wii Sports or attempt to get fit with Wii Fit or play party games etc
Now the question on gamers' lips is 'it is just a fad'? Personally, I have struggled to see much depth to a lot of the Wii games so far (Mario Galaxy and Zelda are exceptions) but I do think that the motion sensitivity will only get more accurate and more innovative allowing for better games, and when I say better I mean games that deliver a lot more substance.
I also think it was a bad mistake on Nintendo's part to create something that is so behind the times on graphics that it takes graphics out of the equation. People are generally more likely to get blown away by graphics than anything else and as the other next-gen consoles only get better there's not much the Wii can do about it.
On the other hand, no other console has brought gaming to such a relaxed level of fun, with friends and family especially. And surely this is what gaming was supposed to be about. It wasn't supposed to be about dedicated gamers who play all night for high scores to boast about but people who can have a bit of fun playing something that doesn't pretend to be something more than it actually is - a game.

I bought the Nintendo Wii back in March with Mario Galaxy. It's a great console. Nice and compact. The graphics are really good on most games. The menus are really intuitive. It's easy to set up. I do recommend buying a Component Cable for the Wii if you're playing on an LCD TV. The picture quality looks way better through compontent than scart/composite.
I was a bit weary about the controller for a long time. It has its pros and cons. It was pretty fun playing tennis on Wii Sports but it's no good for most games. I bought a lot of third party titles since I bought the Wii such as SSX Blur, COD3 etc and found the controls really hard to use. Third-party support isn't great obviously and it's the first-party titles that take the spotlight on the Wii.
The fan on the console is a little loud but I don't think you really notice it when you're playing games.
It has Wi-Fi which works great like on Mario Kart. Backwards compatibility is excellent. I've not downloaded any of the virtual console games but I've played some gamecube games on it which work fine. Overall, it's a great console.

i have played vitually all the different consoles from the Atari 2600. And then the Wii came. wow what a machine, ok so theres no Hi-Def graphics blue ray or HD-Dvd playback. No triple core CPU's running at blistering speeds. just plain and simple gameplay.
Put simply it has the most addictive games since i first played pacman for the first time in the 70's.
my hat goes of to nintendo. i bought my wife an NDS lite. she is hooked. god knows what she will be like with a Wii. i cant wait i want one.
Good fun... May 7, 2008

Although the Wii doesn't have the computing power and cutting edge graphics of other consoles it is a lot of fun to play. And Wii sports is a great game to bundle with the console and show just how much fun it is. It doesn't just appeal to the younger "playstation" or should that be "playstation 3" generation, it appeals to the whole family (my mother is quite addicted to the bowling). And unlike the other so called "next gen" consoles it gets you off the sofa and moving other parts of the body that just your fingers.
I was fortunate enough to get one of these from free-wii.isgreat.org and I'm glad because otherwise I would probably have went for one of the other next generation consoles and not have had half as much fun as I and the rest of my family have had with the Wii.
