Nintendo Wii Console (White) with Mario Kart: Includes White Wii Wheel and Wii Remote

This is the original Wii (with GameCube compatibility unlike the new "family edition" Wii) in lovely shiny black with 1 motion-plus controller + nunchuck. You will need another motion-plus controller + nunchuck to fully enjoy the multiplayer modes (in some games you can share a single remote but it's much better even in these cases to have a remote for each player)Wii Sports is ok, especially tennis and baseball, but Sports Resort is SUPERB and really makes use of the motion plus technology. Bowling is vastly improved for example, and Swordplay, Frisbee, Basketball, Table Tennis are really good fun, and easy enough for young kids (5 and above) to play against adults. You can learn how to do small movements so it doesn't get so tiring but it's much more fun to build up a sweat by wildly swinging the remotes around, just make sure the wrist strap is securely attached! The nunchuck games (like Cycling, Archery) weren't my favourites but others loved them. Similarly Air-Sports and Water-Sports, which feel a bit gimmicky, won't impress everyoneThis is the best Wii starter package available, and this is how the Wii should have been launched - it looks great, the controllers are now superb and Wii Sports Resort is a vast improvement over the original Wii Sports.

A Wii and two games for under one hundred pounds?! I came rather late to the table with regards discovering the Wii, but at this price I just had to see what all the fuss is about.First off, when I opened up the box I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of items that fell out, but actually, setting the console up is very straight forward, even the positioning of the sensor bar (which I thought would take ages to get just right) seemed to be perfect right from the start.The whole motion sensor thing is rather a clever idea, and one which, being brought up on Playstation type gamepads, was surprisingly enjoyable and easy to get the hang of.The two sports games will I'm sure offer enough variety to keep the kids busy for some time over Christmas, and I'm sure that with an extra controller, the whole family will have a great time.There is a bit of negativity surrounding the whole family-friendly nature of the games, and whilst I do believe that the games will be most enjoyed by children or families playing together (I couldn't see myself picking it up on my own when the kids are in bed) it's not a negative. The Wii has deliberately targeted that corner of the market, and as long as buyers are aware of this, then you really shouldn't mark it down.It does everything it claims to do, and for that it gets full marks!

Bought the Nintendo Wii (Black) with Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort in October. My husband had a major operation in July and was in hospital for 2 months. He lost a lot of weight so we thought getting this game machine would help him get back some strength and make him move around so aiding his recovery. He likes the tennis (although this is a bit more strenuous than some of the other games, golf is a little more gentle and Air sports - flying over the island popping balloons is gentler still - you can sit down to this I've found, Dogfight and Skydiving. I like the Bowling training session as you get to knock down lots of pins starting at 10 and going up to 91, brilliant. You have to make up a character for each person who wants to play on the Wii so you get to choose face shape, hair colouring and style etc etc and of course you have to name it this is called a Mii. You use the Mii to play the games on the console. I also like the Baseball (need to get the hang of this though timing is crucial) and Basketball is good fun too. You can have a go at Archery, Boxing, Swordplay, Canoeing, Wakeboarding, Table Tennis, Power Cruising - can't get the hang of jumping through hoops above the waves though, Cycling. You will need a nunchuk with one or two of these games, these are about £15 each. I recommond getting a Nintenda Wii - hours of fun!!!

Items arrived complete and well-packaged, in good time and all in good working condition. Nothing was missing or below expectations.As the Wii's AV cable is incompatible with my current television, the seller was courteous enough to swap the AV cable for a compatible Wii2HDMI cable for no extra charge, and checked that it worked with the console before dispatching. Very good service.

Black wrist Strap missing for controller, is adervtised with one and Wii resort game won't play but the Wii sport does which is on the same disc.

I am quite a Nintendo fan. But even I hesitated about getting the wii after hearing mixed things about the motion sensitive controller. At first, I thought my hesitation and reluctance were justified, since the first wi games were not great, the graphics weren't amazing compared to its rivals, the motion capture was flawed, etc.As time as gone on, I did eventually decide to get a wii for several reasons.1) Being a Nintendo fan, there were some great Nintendo only games on the wii (Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Xenoblades, etc).2) I loved my gamecube and the wii could still play gamecube games.3) The price was really cheap and is going getting cheaper now.4) The main initial problems with the wii have been overcome (motion controls have been fine tuned/removed for some games, graphics still pale in comparison to rival consoles, but still make some games look beautiful, etc.)The wii is a great family console, without any doubt. Anyone can find a game that they like on the wii and enjoy it. But more hardcore gamers may find the wii lacking in terms of mature games and challenges. Online play is also sometimes a pain to set up, whereas they are much easier on other consoles.I overall enjoy my wii but if you are after a new console, have a think about what it is that you want to get out of it.
