Wii Crazy!

chelsea24 · 01-12-2009, 11:52 PM

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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????

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

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

3,000+ posts!!!! Congratulations, Chels!

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.
