The Nintendo Wii is a gaming system that anyone from 5 years and up can play. Compared to the other major gaming consoles, the Wii offers more interactive play. By combining actual body movement, the Wii demands that the user actually get up and use body motions to control the game play. The Wii also is Wi-Fi enabled so you can play against your neighbor or someone from another country. Another interesting feature is the downloadable games such as classic video games from the first Nintendo console such as Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong. In addition, you can personalize your Wii by creating users similar to your body, and personal look.
I chose to blog about the Wii because a lot of my friends and family members have this console. I enjoy using the Wii because it’s highly interactive, and it’s a great way to pass the time with friends. I personally like the bowling game, because you don’t have to wear any “stinky” bowling alley shoes.
Nintendo has been one of the, if not the top, main companies producing video games. Recently, Sony and Microsoft appeared to be running away in the video game console war, but when Nintendo released the Wii in 2006, it revived Nintendo as the number one video game company.
The Wii is available anywhere electronics are sold such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Target. It sells for about $200.
Others might be interested in buying the console because it’s a game system that you could enjoy with family and friends. Parents could interact with their kids with out felling that they can’t play video games with them.
Wii is a great party game. We took this to my grandparents' house last Christmas and had a blast. The bowling was especially popular with everyone.
ReplyDeleteI tried playing various games on my own when I visited home this summer, and it wasn't so much fun alone.
I have a friend who frequently plays video games, and he sold his console because he said it wasn't really geared towards advanced gamers; he characterized it as being for "old people." That might not be the most accurate statement, but I can see what he meant by it. He did, however, concede that he and a friend once spent hours playing tennis against one another, and that it was really fun.
