Worthwhile Wii!

February 3rd, 2010

The Nintendo Wii has had its downs and ups. Whether it was offering games that formerly were dull and boring and changing them into thrilling and fun new installments, or their infamous sensor remote controls crashing through a game-player’s TV, the Nintendo Wii has come a good distance.

The Wii is quite a new and worthwhile gaming system with which ought to be experienced. There are loads of games, from old school to the new. Mario Kart, Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and Wii Sports are just a few of the released titles.

The Wii has it’s ups and downs. Some of the ups are how interactive and just plain fun the games are. You can play them with old-fashioned controllers, and old fashioned games, or you can play the newer games and jump around.

For several games, different controllers are required. However, that does not imply you want to dish out another 40 dollars for a new controller. There are’holders’ of sorts which hold your first Wii remote and simply play. Many of these holders also come with the game in which they are supposed to be played with. I latterly saw one for Link’s adventure that came with a cross-bow holder.

Cons: The remotes. If you mistakenly forget to tighten the wrist strap, they can easily go flying into your television, gaming buddy, neighbor’s window, dog’s water bowl, etc. Also required is a charger to charge your Wii’s controllers. The chargers incidentally are about 40 dollars, which after dishing out a good 250-300 dollars for the console is a bit intimidating. HOWEVER, an alternative is to buy rechargeable batteries and a battery charger and simply switch them out. Spatial issues could also arise. The Wii is twice as fun when played with a friend, or even multiple friends, but some of the more interactive games could provide a problem in crowded places.

Aside from minor issues, it’s worth it. Everyone can and will play the Wii. Shoot, my 70-year-old grandfather plays the Wii more than his little grandchildren do! (He loooovvveeesss Wii Bowling and Wii Golf.)

Finally, you gotta be pondering just how many games there are. According to several site, it’s quite close to 450. This is quite an exponential growth considering it started with 21 in 2006.

That said, go check out the Worthwhile Wii!
