Wii have a Wii

My husband and I both wanted different consoles. I let him get the 360 first and we've had that for awhile. Now we've got the wii.

My 3 year old granddaughter hates putting the wrist safety strap on, that could cause a few broken ornaments

We don't have the wrist strap thing yet, so we're definitely being careful. There's some valuables in the room, and the entertainment center has glass on it! I don't mind putting the wrist strap on, I've played the wii with people who've had one...

It's funny and I was talking to my husband about it, when playing the wii with my nephew he warns to make sure the rubber casing is on, but not the strap! I think the straps attached to the casing, so it's the same... but you would think he'd warn of the strap!

Yep we got married this Past saturday. We went to the bank on monday and the teller manager's brother had gotten married the same day but outside. It rained cats, dogs, giraffe's, you name it! lol! I'll have to upload some pictures! Wii fits are now 199.99 but we got a used one instead of the 199.99 and it was 170 dollars with a warranty, the wii sports game.. and the tax was 14.00 by itself... but all in all a good deal.

Oh and it was my christmas present, I kept guessing and he finally told me! yay!

Well Congrattilations! Dang..I missed it and I thought I was keeping tabs! Hope it was wondermous!!

Aww, that's okay! It was wonderful, there were some things that didn't go smoothly but they weren't really noticed by anyone but the one's planning it... I did overstep the pastor once by almost talking over him, but I don't think anyone noticed and watching the video of us, I forgot all about it!

Of course, I'm a girl so you know what I was concentrating more on...

"ahh I look so fat"
"I have a fat chin"
"my smile is weird"

etc... etc... etc...

wii have a wii now so I can't be complaining bout that now! I could have gotten my lazy butt up before we got the wii and did something about it... but I didn't.

The wii does sound like a family oriented system. I've seen some family oriented games on the system as well. My husband and I have family and friends with the wii so we can always borrow games to test out before either buying a copy ourselves or deciding to just not worry about it, and possibly borrow it again later. Our nephew has the Super Smash Bros Brawl I think, and he has mario kart as well. I've heard of the game Tales of Symphonia, not sure that I liked what I saw on it or not. I think I liked it a little. I want to get the circus games, or the carnival games and try them out. I'd also like to get one of the trivia or interactive games that could played on weekend with the whole family!

yes, wii is more of a family oriented system. It is so boring to play wii alone

It sounds like your daughter has the wii sports resort, I think my sister has that one. We only have the wii sports, and wow I need to exercise. My fitness age is 71! I stunk at the baseball, it didn't have me do golf... Oh but we do have golf just not on the fitness test! Dab hand, that means you were great at it right? I know when I tried hula hooping on the wii at my sisters I stunk at it, my husband was better. We had a hula hoop from the store but it broke, not a wii hula hoop if they make those, but just a hula hoop that lights up... I bounced it up in the air and it came down and brook but shh! don't tell my mom in law! lol!

I have no idea which one it is hon, you'll know better than me. I was cheesin', my fitness age was younger than I actually am wooohooo! lol although I can't remember the exact figure. Yes, dab hand means good at it
That hula hooping was weird though, just watching the screen with the hoops adding actually made you feel like you had them on and they were getting heavier! how mad is that? lol I had them round my neck! The real ones are a lot flashier than they used to be, my granddaughter has one of those too. (my lips are sealed, I hope the MIL doesn't use the site! haha)

Wow! I bet you were! I'm a coach potato most of the time, so the investment my husband made in the wii is a good one. I don't have an excuse now! lol! I don't think I got past one hula hoop on the game... but I bet they did start feeling heavier! The game makes you think it's real, which is nice! I remember when I first saw the wii in stores! I played a little bit of it in the store, I don't remember having a remote when I played it though... so I guess it was just a demo and my silly but thought I was doing it! lol! When I was little the hula hoops didn't light up, I also think for the most part they were red and white like a candy cane, now there all sorts of colors... and with the light up thing... I guess it's more fun! Our shoes lit up, but that's about it I think! lol!

Oh and no, the MIL doesn't use this site!

I remember the old days of mariokart and turning the controller like a steering wheel

My husband and I are both competitive people. We have fun at it though, and try not to get too stressed out. My husband is the type of person who likes to continue to try on something until he gets it. I can get bored in that way. With the Wii I don't think we will as much because of the interactiveness we have with the system. We can move around instead of sitting on our butts, which trust me is something we like to do, especially me! lol! I didn't realize you could get badges on the game until my husband got one last night, we got the game system last night! lol! We had fun, and we're really hoping that his parents get involved with it too! It's fun for the whole family, that's for sure!

It's n ot just the initial cost of the machines thea...it's the games to buy thereafter that are so costly too

What machine Alice, I thought he wanted to play it on his gameboy or whatever those little black things are called these days?

I think that the game systems are beginning to be more technological then before. Older systems are a plug in and play sort of thing, not hard to understand as the ports are either color coded (av cables) or are shaped so that they fit in like a puzzle piece, or like a lego! lol! The systems can be costly and I do think in ways they jip us by raising the price to meet what they put into making the game system, etc... and alice is right! Those games can be costly! The wii is compatible so that gamecube games can be played, I think most systems do that now. You can play a game from the last system they made on the newest system.

Gameboy's I believe are the portable nintendo's. Those just have a few buttons, a battery, and I think there games can be just as costly too!

And you felt the need to explain all that to a technophobe

thea, your son knows more than you!

Let me try to help you out. My husband has the 360, or we do, but until recently he was the one using it the most. The 360 has achievements, so you can pretty much go in there and get rewarded just for playing a game. The PS3 has something like that, and so does the wii sports for the wii, not sure about anything else. We don't have the ps3... The wii, I am liking so far. It's great to use for exercise!

I know that we both wanted the wii, but me more, I think. I know there's a lot on amazon.com for the wii that is at really good prices, so when it comes to stocking up for the wii we will probably be getting things from there. I love you.

Yeah there is a lot of Wii stuff on Amazon for good prices so we will definitely get stuff from there,plus we can also get stuff from Wal Mart especially when we get the discount cards since I work there and Game Stop also has some deals especially since we got the Game Edge card so we save ten percent on used games,and we also get ten percent more on trade-ins so that is nice,and we can pre-order and reserve things coming out for the Wii at Game Stop,I love you with all my heart and soul,have a great day,good luck with all your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting Baby.
