Wii Fit (Wii)

As far as the wife and kids go it has been a complete success and I hope it continues. As far as I'm concerned it was really addictive for the first two days but I have a genetic balance problem and stumbled on the board so I won't be using it anymore even though I need to excercise, i'll stick to my powerball but it is a real success for my family.

Mario Kart (Wii)

Mario Kart is by far the best game for the Wii in my opinion. The graphics are top-notch. Online play is superb and completely addictive. That's really the only thing I've been playing since I bought the game. I'm glad the game went back to its roots and forget a lot of the changes that the Double Dash made. There's 32 courses in the game, 16 new, 16 old. There really are some well-designed courses in the game. Koopa Cape is one of my favourites.

I have to say the Wii Wheel that comes packaged with Mario Kart is a waste of time. I used it on the first game I played and abandoned it after the first lap. I guess it's fun but you need to spend a lot of time in order to get used to it. I now use the Controller/Nunchuk option. It's far easier. ... Read More:

Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports)

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. ... Read More:

Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller add-on (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Nintendo

December 08, 2006
A nunckuk is a simple atachment to the Wii remote that gives you extra control over a game.So far 4 out of 6 of my games need it.If it has a nunchuk icon in the top-right corner of the box it needs it for all or part of the game.You get one free with the console,but you can get another for multiplayer. Here are some notes:
1.The control stick has a special feature:you can move it a little bit and it does the action a little bit,like a steering wheel!
2.The upper button is called "c" and the lower button is called "z" so if you see c and z mentioned in reviews you`ll know what they`re talking about. Don`t get them the wrong way round!
3.It fits in your hand perfectly-no need to worry about it being uncomfortable.
4.Don`t put the control stick in ... Read More:

Nintendo Wii Controller (Wii)

You only get one wiimote in the standard kit wii console and while this is a fantastic controller hence why I have given it 5 stars for fun I think it is over priced as unlike other consoles there is no 'after market' 3rd part alternatives that are cheaper.

I would welcome a reduction in the price by nintendo to make the additional wiimotes more accessible for more people. Your looking at the best part of £150 to get 3 more wiimotes and nunchucks required for 4 player mode. I have got 4 and it really does make play more fun and allow more people to join in.

Like i said great game good fun. Lots of mini games to get your teeth into. Especially enjoy 'Charge' which is a game where you ride on the back of a wolly cow! Wierd game but makes me laugh. Also many other good ones like one where you spot mii characters. The game also aims to help you get used to the wii remote which it does. Overall, a good game and fun for the whole family!!!!

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Sega

This is an excellent game. There is huge variety in the games; they are innovative and varied. The graphics are excellent as you would expect. More events unlock as you play the game more which increases its longevity.

Some other reviews complain about the complexity of the controls. This surprises me as my children (aged four and seven) can both manage to play it very well. They have both successfully won several gold medals and broken many world records, so if they can manage it I should think anybody could (if they could be bothered to read the instructions which are presented before each event).

Overall, it's an excellent game. As with many Wii games, it is definitely geared towards the younger gamer, and it hits this target market very well.

Utter garbage. Save your money and buy FIFA 08 for the PS3, or PSP. This is unplayable nonsense.

This stand is great it keeps my remotes safely stored and the blue light looks cool, only problem is that i have to leave the wii switched on for the remotes to be charged. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.
