Wee for the Wii!

The Nintendo Wii has had its up and downs. Whether it was offering games that previously were dull and boring and turning them into fun and exciting new installments, or their infamous sensor remote controls crashing through a gamer’s television, the Nintendo Wii has come a long way.

The Wii is quite a new and worthwhile gaming system with which ought to be experienced. There are loads of games, from old school to the new. Mario Kart, Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and Wii Sports are just a few of the released titles.

Pros: It gets you up and moving. Most of the Nintendo Wii’s games are very interactive games. You can run, you can jump, you can trip and fall on your face or, if you get tired, you can easily sit down to a less contemporary game and just relax. The games, albeit harder to find than say Playstation 2, have fairly decent graphics and gameplay.

For different games, different controllers are needed. However, that doesn’t mean you need to dish out another forty dollars for a new controller. There are “holders” of sorts which hold your original Wii remote and simply play. Most of these holders also come with the game in which they are played with. (I recently saw one for Link’s adventure that came with a cross-bow holder. Pretty awesome, huh?)

Cons: The remotes. If you mistakenly forget to tighten the wrist strap, they can easily go flying into your television, gaming buddy, neighbor’s window, dog’s water bowl, etc. Also required is a charger to charge your Wii’s controllers. The chargers incidentally are about 40 dollars, which after dishing out a good 250-300 dollars for the console is a bit intimidating. HOWEVER, an alternative is to buy rechargeable batteries and a battery charger and simply switch them out. Spatial issues could also arise. The Wii is twice as fun when played with a friend, or even multiple friends, but some of the more interactive games could provide a problem in crowded places.

Aside from minor issues, it’s worth it. Everyone can and will play the Wii. Shoot, my 70-year-old grandfather plays the Wii more than his little grandchildren do! (He loooovvveeesss Wii Bowling and Wii Golf.)

So you gotta be wondering-how many games just are there for this game system? For real, it’s reasonably new ( compared to a lot, with the exception of the Playstation 3 ). Based on Wikipedia, there are over four hundred games. Another site claims there may be more than 450 now on the market. The Wii was launched with approximately twenty games in 2006.

That said, go check out the Worthwhile Wii!
