Consider Games Before Choosing a Console There is not just one kind of console video game, and so the machines that are are used to play them are different as well. Considering the types of games to be played, their availability for the consoles being considered and the ability of those consoles' to present the best gaming experience possible for the game's genre and content is important. Filled with cartoon-like and childlike characters as well as Arcade-style gameplay situations, Wii games are often referred to as "Casual Games," or "Party Games" typified by brief, simple "mini-games." PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles are the current version of earlier console releases whose user bases were rooted in game genres such as Action-Adventure, Shooters, Racing, Sports, Role-playing games (RPG) and so on. Motion Gaming Although motion gaming has been front and center since the launch of the Wii in 2006, the other two consoles have their own motion gaming offerings that provide unique play opportunities on their respective platforms that have also found a wide audience. PlayStation Move PlayStation Move offers a new and innovative gaming experience for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system by fusing realistic, high-definition gaming along with accurate, intuitive control. Consisting of a PlayStation Move motion controller, a PlayStation Move Navigation controller (optional in most games) and a PlayStation Eye camera (all sold separately), PlayStation Move enables sophisticated, ultra accurate motion control and immersive gameplay only possible on the PS3 system. WiiWare is a service that allows Wii players to download games and applications directly to their Wii console in exchange for purchased Wii Points on the Wii Shop Channel. Through Wii's online component players can also gain access to hundreds of classic arcade games available for download through Wii's Virtual Console functionality. Once you are in visit the PlayStation Store where users can download games, previews, DLC add-ons for games, game demos, game extras, music and streaming video. A paid "Gold Membership" provides access to these and expanded features, including online gaming, HD movies and TV shows through services such as Netflix,* HBO Go, ** ESPN, and Hulu Plus, downloadable games, facebook, downloadable content (DLC) for games and more.

"We thought it was fun - my husband liked the Boxing best and I liked the Tennis best. We really enjoyed playing Wii games with family and guests. Because the Wii is intuitive, people who have never played before can easily join in with games such as Sports, Sports Resort, Mario Kart, and Wii Ski. My husband and I used to play a lot of computer games when we were younger and we had Nintendo systems as kids. The Wii definitely has better graphics than what we had seen 7 or 8 years ago when we played video games more regularly. However, it only comes with one controller - get a Remote Plus (you don't need Motion Plus with the Remote Plus and either Motion Plus or Remote Plus are necessary for Wii Sports Resort). Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are fun games, but they aren't "classic" video games. Remote Plus is the newest Wii remote and does not require you to have a separate Motion Plus attachment. The Motion games are very intuitive and easy to use for anyone over the age of 5. The included games are NOT classic video games, but are lots of fun for a wide range of ages. Get the Wii Remote Plus, as it has the Wii Motion Plus capability, but doesn't require you to buy both the Wii Remote AND Motion Plus attachment."
"I had to order a component cable (got the Monster cable for twenty bucks) and things work fine!"
"Turned on fine, but when I plugged the Av componet cables to my TV, the picture was fuzzy and black and white."
"We mainly got it for the Wii fit Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board and related "Games" It's perfect for a quick workout. I have the TV installed on a stand that makes for the placement of the wii sensor bar very difficult. I was also unable to place it under the TV because the same curved lip would block the sensors because the underside of the TV was to deep. I needed a way to get the sensor bar under the TV but unobstructed by the lip of the TV. I started by measuring 1" from the edge on each side of the sensor bar then stuck my first fastener to the bar and then alternating the fastener disks I built 2 columns."

"I say Nintendo is an amazing system and still a notch above the rest, especially given the price drop. Nintendo has games that appeal to children, teens and even older folks (I'll get into that later). From racing Mario, Luigi and friends in Mario Kart to battling with Marth and Link in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo has cornered the market on group-friendly games. Plus, Nintendo has many of the same FPS like Call of Duty: Black Ops geared towards older gamers that the PS3 and 360 have. To top it off, Nintendo has accessories like the Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board that not only integrate gaming and exercise, but make it fun and user-friendly from 5 years of age on up. A few days after I bought the gift I got a call, "You're father and I have taken up tennis and we love it!" Fun games make you pay attention to gameplay, not graphics and Wii does this. Be sure to buy an additional Official Nintendo Wii Wheel (Mario Kart for 1 isn't as much fun without two players)."
"The not-so-awesome: The only complaint I could offer is the price of the games available for purchase on the nintendo market - I don't feel entirely comfortable with buying a game that costs $15 with nothing tangible to show for my purchase."
"The virtual console has alot of releases on it from my childhood to thoroughly enjoy for a long time, the system itself has a ton of games that are off the beaten path from the more mature games I've been playing(that is to say, sometimes you just get tired of playing modern warfare type games and you want something simpler; the Metroid Prime series and so on)."
"I purchased the Wii console for two grown-up children in my family; myself and my partner in crime."
"Would've been 5 stars but the unit was not properly cleaned before being boxed."
"Random power failures every 2 to 10 minutes that required the power cable be completely removed to restart the system."
"I bought this for a Christmas gift for the kids for a second home."

"Tried to save a few bucks going with a third party distributor once, then I decided to buy a few of these brand new licensed remotes, this is definitely the way to go."
"Peach's color scheme: Light Pink: Front, wrist strap clamp. Pink/Magenta: Back, rubber sleeve, wrist strap, 1&2 buttons. Yellow: D-Pad. White: Peach Crown Logo, A button. Also, these Wii Remotes are region free! So just pop those in, and push the small red sync button on the back of the remote where the battery compartment is, as well as the sync button on the front of your Wii/Wii U. One other great thing, is unlike the older Wiimotes, the sync button can be pressed through the case and rubber sleeve, so you *don't* need to remove the sleeve or battery cover to sync the remote."
"While I still have my Wii and WiiU I only had one Wii remote to pass among the two consoles and yes while the WiiU doesn't actually need the remote unless you're playing wii games on it or using a specific wiiu game that requires it it wasn't really needed for the WiiU."
"The extra remote isn't necessary to have fun with the Wii, but it eliminates the need to pass one remote between two players."
"The rubber grip is awkward and seems to interfere with the sensor, but it's easily removed and not necessarily as the remote is pretty durable."
