Wii Crazy!

[chelsea24]

Has anyone gone as crazy for the Wii and Wii Fit as I have??? I'm absolutely loving it! I've also heard that a club is starting and I talked to a couple at a New Year's Day Brunch and they've joined a Wii Bowling League! :laugh:

Four couples take turns at their house (all have Wii's of course) and they have snacks and bowl on the Wii. I love it!

My next Wii game or progam will be the Karaoke one like American Idol. That would be great for parties. It comes with a microphone and you stand up and sing and Simon, Paula and Randy judge you. I'm not kidding!

Any Wii stories out there???

Chels, not only are you Wii Crazy, and also fond of cards and mahjong, you are obviously still crazy for TOTV! I admire your enthusiasm.

Congratulations on having 3,000 posts to your credit. And you still find time to visit the Chat Room regularly! You've obviously kept a lot of members entertained with your intelligent and nutty posts, your off-the-wall comments, your astute observations, your funny banter, your thought-provoking political observations.

Life is never dull with Chels around!

We bought a Wii Fit and Wii Sports in December. They're fun, but I can't claim to be crazy about them.

I play with them occasionally, and sometimes have "competitions" with company. But mostly I enjoy beating my own records. Which are pretty pathetic, especially in golf.

[starflyte1]

Is WiiFit available now? We bought WiiSports in Dec, and my husband and a neighbor play golf. I like bowling better than golf, but hope to REALLY like WiiFit.

[GMONEY]

we can play the Wii allnight. Best game system they have ever invented..

[njgranny]

On New Year's Eve, instead of going out, two of my granddaughters, who are in their early 20's, and one of their fiances dressed up like rock stars and played some music game on their Wii. It was a good alternative to going out and certainly safer.

Chels we have the American Idol game and it is HYSTERICAL!!! We have two microphones....so you can do duets or contests with each other. The judges are so realistic...

I would be more than happy to let you borrow the microphones and game so you can test it out before you buy it.

If there is another Kareoke game out there...I would like to try it! American Idol has only select songs to sing from...but a nice list.

We have the Wii Fit now and it is loads of fun....but my body is taking a beating especially after the hula hooping...and the tight rope walking...I have fallen many times (well atleast my Mii has fallen)....

The best part is when you have friends over to do it for the first time....they tell you how easy it looks....then try it themselves.....LOL

Not so easy!! Love my Wii!

[chelsea24]

For those of you looking for the Wii Fit, it is hard to find in stores, but it is always available on Amazon.com It's fabulous for people that want to exercise but find it tedious as most do, especially me! It does make it fun. And just in December, they came out with 'My Fitness Coach' which does not require the board, and only costs about $30 dollars. It's wonderful for those that don't want to invest in the boards and still want the fun of Wii exercise.

Ooops! Did I just say "fun" and "exercise" in the same sentence???? :eek:


p.s. Thanks Cassie for your offer to try American Idol. I just may do that as it's more expensive than some programs.

Chels, Congrat's on #3,000.....You are the heartbeat of TOTV ;)

Chelsea,

Even though I am not there in TV, at this point, and can't be in a club, I just want to thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for the Wii Fit.

I borrowed my granddaughter's recently. She thinks it is too easy for her. But she is a teenager. Remember those days. I could run and talk at the same time. Heck -- I could run!

I have had the other Wii for a while, and even wrote about how I was going to use it. But I got caught up in a major project and used that as an excuse not to get back to it. I am bad with excuses not to exercise. Or is it good with excuses not to exercise?

Anyway, the Wii Fit is here at my house now. And you make it sound great.

No more excuses for me.

Thanks for some much needed inspiration.

Boomer

Let me know when the Wii party is planned. I had so much fun bowling and golfing!! I will sit on the sidelines for American Idol, unless you want to hear my Louis Armstrong impression. :yuck:

[nONIE]

Chels,

Could anyone use a backward bowler on their team? I sure do P*** off those little people sitting behind me. :cus: I think I knocked down more people then pins! :laugh:

Thanks Rhonda,

Do you really have a team goin on or does that mean your a backward bowler too!!!:1rotfl:

[jtdraig]

"We" confess to being addicted to WII...bowling is the best. My wife has a 256 high and I only have a 226 high but we both are "pro's" and are getting better. We got a WI FIT when we were up in Connecticut (just lucked out) and that is a lot of fun too.......:pepper2:

[chelsea24]

Hey, thanks guys and gals on all the congrats for 3,000 posts. Just think how much wind energy that created! Or is it hot air!!! :laugh:

Anyway, any more Wii ideas anyone??? :shrug:

[Helene2008]

Chels,

We love our Wii.....it took a long time to find Wii fit but finally got it. Also love the bowling and golf, haven't seen the karaoke game. Congrats on 3,000

Chelsea,

I have played Wii games and am especially fond of tennis. I just love to ace my competitor! Neighbors on both sides of us have Wii's and we've gone to their houses to play various games.

However, we are waiting until we get to TV to buy our Wii system. Hopefully this will take place during 2009.

We will be in town Feb 2-8 and possibly making important decisions at that time. At this point it all seems so exciting and scary at the same time.

One of the games I do want is the Wii fit. I'll probably end up having my mii falling all over the place like Cassie, but at least I'll be moving.:laugh:

[Barefoot]

I looked for Wii Fit in stores before Christmas ... impossible to find.

I'm wondering if Wii Fit is more available now that Christmas is over. Has anyone seen the W.F. in TV stores?

[samhass]

Just remember Bare, if your mii misses a day of training, you will hear about it. I just bought Brain Age but have only played it once as I have been playing mahjong, Triple Play and golf with real people.

[GMONEY]

Best Buy had the Wii Fit. we got ours from Wal-Mart 2 days before Christmas. If you go back to the electronics dept and ask them, they will let you know when they get them in. just be there then or ask them to hold one for you. they did for me for about 2 hours till i could get there. Super Mario Galaxy is really fun. Much different thant traditional Mario Brothers.
We had the PS-3 for the kids, but Wii is much better. It is something the whole family can play together. The bowling is to much fun. Just make sure to put the wrist straps on when you play this game, espically the baseball game.

[Blondie]

Chels...congrats on the 3000 posts...keep up the good work my friend. :pepper2:

I love playing Wii..I played tennis with my family at home, and broke a sweat..it was great exercise. I also love bowling. My 11 year old granddaughter is the champ, but it was more fun watching my sporthead son-in-law (whom I love)...throw gutter balls. :cus:
Let me know when the wii fit gathering is going to be...I wll be there. :coolsmiley:

[collie1228]

I bought our Wii at Christmas, but the Wii Fit was not to be found anywhere. After buying the Wii at K-Mart, I went to Best Buy to pick up extra contollers, recharger, etc., and learned that they had advertised Wii Fit units in the paper that morning, and had a line of about 50 people at the door when they opened. I guess they had less than 20 units, so a lot of people went away unhappy. It's strange that Nintendo can't seem to manufacture enough product to meet demand. It's hard to find a Wii most times, and nearly impossible to find the Wii Fit at any time. Could it be some kind of weird business strategy to create demand but purposely not meet that demand? Regarding the Wii itself, I found the golf to be boring after a couple of hours, but the bowling is fun. It's really strange that improving my bowling score is a lot like my bowling score in real life - it tends to stay in the same ten pin range, no matter how much I practice!

[BamaGal]

Nintendo knows what they are doing....I finally found the Wii at Walmart right after Christmas. I just cant get enough of it. Bowling Pro already... Looking forward to the Wii Fit.:pepper2:

Collie, I agree! I think the tennis and bowling are fun, the baseball and golf are frustrating, and I still haven't figured out the boxing. And we have two nunchuks.

We visited my daughter a few times and played Wii. We tried the bowling, golf and baseball games and thought they were fun. However, it wasn't until we visited again and played a game call Game Party (which has a great set of party games) that we crossed the line!. Ski Ball, Darts, Beer Pong, bar style Basketball and Shuffleboard, and Air Hockey. It's a blast, and was enough to get me to shell out the money for my own Wii.

But, what's really amazing came after I got it home.

The Wii is Wi-Fi compatible, so you can communicate over the internet, sending Mii's and messages back and forth, and you can send mail, including pictures. Well, THAT led me to finding out you can take your SD card out of your digital camera, plug it into the Wii, and go to the Photo Channel to view a slide show on the TV. There is even music that plays in the background. Talk about a great backdrop for a party! It's great! Seeing your pictures blown up on the screen is really something!

Hi Steve, yes! I just set up all those features last weekend! I was looking at the Party Game Set. I'm definitely going to order it now. It does look like great fun. And as far as the channels go, they will keep adding more and more. It's fabulous! :coolsmiley:

-thought I would report in on this. I finally got the Wii Fit hooked up. I played around with some skiing thing. Trying to do jumps and ski in and out of little flags or whatever. Then I tried something where I was supposed to roll balls into holes. It got harder and harder to do. They kept rolling off the edge.

And then this :cus: thing kept flashing a message up on the screen, saying I am "unbalanced." How did it know that?
