Wii or Wii not?

Wii. Otherwise your bladder will explode. This will piss you off.

Seriously, WTF were they thinking with that name?

How best to PURCHASE a Wii system? Possibly with the Fit attachment and necessary controllers as part of a package deal? Do any particular online or brick-and-mortar retailers put Wii packages on fantastic sale at various times? Your advice/experience please... . . . P.S. lol@nintendonitis

Wii got the Wii for Christmas. Came with Wii Sports. Not Fit. Don't have Fit. Can't comment on Fit other than to say wii want it. I have to say that I love regular Wii. I can play my hardest against the kids, and still not always win. When I'm in the back yard, kicking a soccer ball around with them or whatever, I have to go easy on them because they are just kids. The Wii levels the playing field and they cream me as often as I cream them. Good interactive family fun. They love it when they beat me fair and square.

Since wii all got good at Wii Sports, wii've been looking for new games to play. The strength of Wii is the motion control, so wii look for games that really use that. Most don't seem to. Most/many games are just regular video games that have also been released for Wii and you just sit on the couch pushing buttons.

Mercury Meltdown was the second Wii game we bought, and I would recommend it. You tilt the controller to tilt the virtual board on the screen and make a blob of mercury roll around and do stuff. It's fun.

Wii were going to buy the Wii fit for Christmas for my older son & his girlfriend, but they were out. However, we bought some kind of adventure game with the same attributes - they love it. Of course, it sounds like a herd of animals are running thru the house once they get started.
