Need for Speed Carbon

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

November 20, 2006
I got this game a couple of days ago and already love it. Great features, so so story line (good for a game though), cops chasing u is also fun.
As for the controls, it takes a little time to get used to them (for e.g. how much do you need to turn the remote for the cars to turn and all that) but once u do, it is so much fun. I had difficulty controling my car when i first played it but now since i have got a hang of it, i cant stop playing it.

Would definitely recommend for those who love action packed racing games. And for 30 bucks its a pretty good deal as well.

Wii Classic Controller Grip

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

June 13, 2007
When i first bought my classic controller it was difficult to use because it felt as if it was moving around on me while i was playing. It was also difficult to keep track of the wii remote at the same time. This product has given me so much more control over my gaming experience and i am not messing up my gameplay by going the wrong direction with the analog sticks. It is much better to play virtual console games with than using a gamecube controller, and now that i can hold the classic controller in place it has brought even more opportunities to the gameplay experience. I would highly recomend getting this for anyone that has a classic controller, but if you do choose to get one, get it at a local gaming store. I only paid 2 dollars for mine.

MySims

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

September 18, 2007
Let's get it out of the way - MySims is not much like Sims. It's more Animal Crossing lite with an extremely detailed crafting and customization section. You won't get deep relationships and such out of this, what you will get is an amazingly adaptable game that can be compelling - if crafting is your cup of tea.

Essentially in this game you have the ability to use "essence", sort of spirits of various items, to customize furniture and objects. These add personality to said objects, and you use them to help Sims furnish their homes. However, you also get to design their homes, decide who moves in where, and even unlock new options for outfits, hairstyles, and more. Soon you're able to voyage to the far ends of the town in search ... Read More:

Wii Play Game Only

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


I actually bought a Wii bundle that came with two remotes already so I went out of my way to buy this game only package and it isn't that great. The wife and I played it for a little while but I don't see myself putting it in that often.

SanDisk SDSDG-2048-A11 2GB SD Gaming

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


I'm writing this review to clear up any confusion regarding SD cards for the Nintendo Wii:

1. Any brand of SD card will work in the Wii; more reliable brands like Sandisk will also be more reliable in the Wii.

2. There is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between this card and a standard SD card from Sandisk, except for price. The only reason you should buy this over a standard 2 GB card is if you're willing to pay about five times more for the "Wii" label (2 GB Sandisk cards are about $6 on Amazon as of this writing).

3. The Wii can support up to 8 GB cards, so go buy an 8 GB card for this same price if you want to spend this much. If SD cards that hold more than 8 GB are ever sold, the Wii will not support them ... Read More:

NCAA Football 09

Quick cash, little effort, thinks EA.
With all of the Wii users in the US, they figure to make some quick cash, and it shows. The graphics are a joke and the gameplay is sloppy. Lots of bugs.
It targets parents and young kids who have never played a video game in their life, so they wouldn't know what a good product is.

Trauma Center: New Blood

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

November 20, 2007
First I'll start off with the negatives. I mean it wasn't the best game out there. The fact that the characters are just anime drawings and their mouths don't move when they talk. Also, the game was very challenging and requires a decent amount of control of the Wii remote, so littlekids may have some difficulty. And also, the storyline was a little creepy and diabolical. I'm not going to give too much of it away but the fact that the virus you fight is man made by a cult/the mob and doctors being kidnapped and such is just a little disturbing.

But now for the positives. For those who've played Second Opinion (the prequel) you know that it's completely silent, unlike in this one where they actually talk. Also the multi player is a huge advantage ... Read More:

Rock Band Illuminated Drum Sticks - Blue

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

August 05, 2008
I too had trouble with the batteries and sent them back. The instruction sheet pictured sliding 2 AAA batteries into each stick, which seemed simple enough. However, as the other reviewer stated, there is a metal clip inside that is apparently supposed to be removed with a paperclip. I jammed them in without knowing this which of course caused them not to work. After doing so, I found a 2nd version of the instruction sheet buried in the box which pictured the correct way. Too late at that point. Even if this wasn't an issue, they would have gone back. They felt like sticks of glass that would shatter at any moment.

Wii Frontman Wireless Guitar - White

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

It's not of the same quality as the official GH3 Les Paul, but it's close enough to make it a good deal. It takes a little more effort to press the buttons than on the official guitar. Everything else works just fine.

One thing to note: Even though I ordered the "white" version, I received a "yellow" guitar. I didn't care, but you might.
