Does anyone have or use the WII interactive Nintendo Game? We are thinking of getting one for Christmas and they run about $300. for the whole game. Is it worth it?

when we were in the villages last year we attended a demonstration by the Wii club in the Villages. Immediately thereafter we bought the wii and wii fit. we love the wii fit and some of the new games they have are great. We will be bring our wii games and balance board to the Villages again this year. OUr granddaughter and our son both play the wii frequently and the competition between them is great.

We have one and really enjoy it. I got a zapper for Christmas last year that let's me use the controller in a gun device and it is fun to use with target and big game hunting games. Lots of fun. However, if you are a gamer who wants to play adventure or sports games like Madden or MLB 2010, I would not recommend it. The Wii is really for the fun interactive games. I got the College Football game last year and it is not as good for a game like that. If those type of games are your goal, the get the PS3.

Wii is fun. Worth every penny.

We bought the Wii and Wii fit after being invited to play on a friend's machine here. The Wii fit is great for balance games and yoga as well as aerobic and other things.

If you are a golfer treat yourself to the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Wii. It came out a few months ago.

It's a fabulous game and the version 10 is much better than the previous ones. When hubby is out playing golf with his friends and it's pouring with rain I can be found at home having a fine old time - I have "played" a round with Luke Donald, Natalie Gulbis etc. on loads of lovely courses - Turnberry, Sun City, St.Andrews, Wolf Creek, Banff Springs etc. etc. The scenery is excellent and I've "won" over $1,000,000!!! It's worth every penny (or should I say cent)?

We have one as well and love it. It sure is a good workout too even with the games. Just make sure that you don't toss the remote into the television screen!! I'm told that can easily happen and does; just make sure that you use the wrist loop on the remotes.

Enjoy!!!

We had the Playstation 3 for the kids and us. Got rid of it and got the Wii. That is the best game system around espcially for families. everyone can play and have fun at it. They have just come out with Super Mario Brothers for the Wii. 4 players can play at the same time. You can not go wrong with this system.

Get it and have fun..

The "My Fitness Coach" program, for the Wii, is a fine way to start the day.

Grandma annie,
I have a WII and I love it, we have friends over sometimes and we can bowl from the comfort of our living room, we also have other games that can also be played alone, I would reccomend buying one.

BTW, Walmart was advertising the game console for $199 with a $50 gift card as part of the deal. Best Buy had it for $199 with a $20 gift card. I am not sure if those deals are still good but they were doing it last week. Those are good deals.

Absolutely right it is now going for $199. Wife and I love to bowl. She gets a kick outta beating me! Trying to get your "Wii Fit" age down is a task! Tiger Woods golf is endless fun....Now where are the girls Tiger?

If you have a WiFi connection you can hook it up and download games, surf the web, play with your Mii characters, etc. For $5 a game, I downloaded all of the Super Mario games, Galaga, my all time favorite game when I was a teenager at the arcade, and Donkey Kong.
