Wonderful Wii!

By Anna Cross

Nintendo's Wii has had its failures and its triumphs. It has completely revolutionized older games and made them ten times as fun, despite it's remote control's issues. This all aside, the Wii has evolved quite extensively.

If you have never experienced the Wii's gaming capabilities, you're truly missing out. There are several types of games, from good ole Mario Kart to Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, to more revolutionary games such as Wii Sports.

The Wii has it's ups and downs. Some of the ups are how interactive and just plain fun the games are. You can play them with old-fashioned controllers, and old fashioned games, or you can play the newer games and jump around.

For several games, different controllers are needed. However, that does not imply you want to dish out another forty bucks for a new controller. There are'holders' of kinds which hold your primary Wii remote and simply play. The majority of these holders also come with the game in which they're supposed to be played with. I recently saw one for Link's journey that came with a cross-bow holder.

Bad : The remotes. If you mistakenly forget to the wrist strap, they can easily go flying into your TV, playingbuddy, neighbor's window, dog's water bowl, and so on. Also needed is a charger to charge your Wii's controllers. The chargers in reality are about 40 greenbacks, which after dishing out a good 250-300 dollars for the console is a bit frightening. However, an alternative is to buy chargeable batteries and a battery charger and simply change them out. issues could also arise. The Wii is twice as fun when played with a friend, or perhaps multiple chums, but some of the more interactive games might provide a problem in crowded places.

Arguments aside, the Wii is certainly a worthwhile , and is enjoyable for every age. Old folks, young children, teenagers, anybody can play the Wii. ( This is assured by my 70-year-old granddad who in total truth plays the Wii more than his youngest grandchildren for whom he bought the Wii for. His special favourite are Wii Bowling and golf. )

Finally, you gotta be pondering just how many games there are. According to several site, it's quite close to 450. This is quite an exponential growth considering it started with 21 in 2006.

Having said that , go try the Wonderful Wii! . - 31497
