Wii: Nintendo Wii
Comments
Harry A - "I will first start to say that I am a poor college student. Ok, not VERY VERY poor but I am extremely thrifty. I do not buy video game systems. I do not buy video games (I am convinced that I have video game ADD and can not finish a game). With that said, what do I do? I play games with my friends. What do I look for in a game then? Do I really care about HDTV capabiillities? Or if the lighting effect of System A is better than System B? No. I care about playing games with my friends, being able to learn quickly, and having fun. What many of you fail to realize is there are a lot of people just like me. The market of "extreme gamer" isn't that large (my personal speculation, no numbers to back this up; hey, i'm honest). And by "isn't that large," i mean there's no way most of you, who I would classify as "extreme gamers" take up even 40% of the video game market." (link to entry)
Tora - "I don't play video games too often, but the Wii is by far the most versatile and fun console my family owns. I've held onto my Nintendo 64 console because I loved some of the games that were released for it. Now Nintendo's releasing a lot of their older games (Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, etc) through the Wii shop channel. It's nice to see a company that's actively promoting its older games while still working to develop better consoles!" (link to entry)
Gustav Numas - "I've been a Nintendo follower since I was like 8 or sumthin... Owned every Nintendo console till today.
The Wii just rocks big time, it takes gaming experience to a different level, it immerses you completely in the game and makes you interact with it.
Who can say that they didn't jump while pressing A on the NES controller to make mario jump on Mario Bros.??? NO ONE!!! we all did it!!!" (link to entry)
Jenni Wallace - "I love my wii.
It's more fun that just sitting on a couch playing a video game. You get so caught up in the excitement. I've been playing The Legend of Zelda recently and can't sit still, I'm up and down fighting monsters and running through the land.
The other big favourite is Mario Karts, racing against people worldwide just makes it all the more fun." (link to entry)
Bonnie Fleischmann - "My four year old grandson is a whiz on the wii system. Last night he was playing Animal Crossing City Folk. There are such a great variety of interactive games and even workouts, so you can actually get in shape while playing your games. This is a great system and full of fun for the family."

Marc Cobb - "@bindu You are so right. The Wii truly bridges all generations and reminds people why playing games WITH people is so much better than without. I especially love the newer add-ons such as Wii Fit and Wii Sports Resort. Nintendo is really in touch with their fans and customers." (link to entry)
- "I've tried not to like it. Most of the catalog is absolute shovelware. But every once in a while a classy title comes out that just makes me rethink what video games are all about. And it's the first video game system I can enjoy with both my parents *and* my kids. Beat that." (link to entry)
Bindu Reddy - "Just finished playing DDR... I can't stop marveling at the Wii. The have done a fantastic job with the Wii Remote and the Balance Board. Who knew video games were so much fun. Wii is going to bring video games into the mainstream" (link to entry)
