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

I am a hardcore gamer with a 250g Xbox Console and a beast of a pc already, so you wouldn't think that the wii would appeal to me as the Wii is a casal console, but, it does.With the Wii on this way out with the Wii U coming out at the end of the year, I thought I would take advantage of its cheap price tag and huge library of games. The graphics are inferior to the PS3 and Xbox 360 and theres no proper online services (Well there is but nothing like Xbox live, PSN or Steam). So it rellies on its games and they are really overloaked, underated classics that could appeal to the hardcore ordinance like Monster hunder Tri, Madworld, Sin and punishment 2, Xeoblade conicales, No more heroes (both 1 and 2) PLUS theres all the good nintendo stuff. Come on everybody loves Mario Kart! If your not a big fan of the Wii motion controlls a lot of games can be played using the classic controller NOTE: Not included.Just a couple of pointers before you go out and buy. This model is NOT backwards compatible with Gamecube games, controllers, memory cards or accessories. This doesn't bother me too much as I do have a working gamecube. If you want a Wii that can play gamecube games, buy an earlyer model Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports) [Nintendo Wii] Also, this model has no stand as its desined to sit horizontally. I don't think you buy these feel free to corect me if i'm wrong.So to summerise every thing here is a pros and cons (Drum roll please...)Pros:Nice colourBig library of gamesPerfect for light gun rail shooters, calling all house of the dead fansAs pretty much everything you need (console, mario Kart, controller and wheel)Cons:No gamecube compatiblitySound is pretty poor from the Wii controllerOverall, a big underdog in the gaming world with a fair pit to offer. Going to get some more games soon!!

Enjoy the Wii - great for rainy cold days where you can't get outside! Plenty of games that are suitable for all ages - only thing i have found is that the internet services on it are not great - iPlayer doesn't work for example. Plus this has now been superseded with newer models.

This is my third Wii. For various reasons I have sold the last two, but this is my first of the new hardware model. First impressions, it is tiny and feels solid and looks great, seriously, so much better than before.Secondly, all the software had been pre-loaded so had it up and running in seconds.Thirdly, for £90 from the Amazon Warehouse I was amazed that it was pristine, untouched by anyone since manafacture as I was expecting the usual slightly soiled second hand console (ie used over Xmas then discarded for the refund). So all in all a massive success.If you are Sony, Xbox or PC lovers and never thought about owning a Wii then this is the version you should get. Firstly in black it is dead smart, including the Wiimotes and Wheel so you won't feel like a kid. Secondly, you probably don't care that it can't play Gamecube games if you are Sony or Xbox afficianados. (Though there are good Gamecube games, some excellent ones even, finding discs that are scratch free is getting harder and harder). Thirdly, there are some excellent games for more mature gamers (see Zelda: Skyward Sword, Xenoblade Chronicles and Monster Hunter Tri), addictive skill based games (all Mario's, Fifa's and Sports Resort) and loads of party/family/get your friends over and mess about games (Wii Play, Wii Motion, Wii Sports etc).Put this way, for around £100 it is so much better value than so many things I could mention. One final thing is that all of the peripherals and games will be compatible/integral to the forthcoming Wii:U (which though due this year, knowing Nintendo, I seriously doubt it will be before Xmas, they have a terrible track record with release dates in Europe).Buy it, play it, put it in the attic, get it out when your kids are growing up and I guarantee it will stay out and be loved all over again.

So I used to own a Nintendo Wii, one of the old white ones. I don't know if anything has changed since then, but this new one seems smaller (or at least shorter). I got another one because, for some reason, I missed the old thing after I sold it off, and now that they're cheap as chips I figured why not? I actually bought this for less money than I sold the other one for, so I'm quids in there.There's some pretty solid games for the Wii, whatever people might tell you. As an owner of the Xbox 360, the PS3, formerly a Wii, and obviously a PC, trust me when I say it holds up to the others. It's a great experience, and not all games involve swinging your arms around and pointing at things, you can get the controller for it, GameCube style.The only thing I would watch out for is that this particular bundle doesn't come with Wii Sports (whereas I thought it was a standard console thing, no biggie, never used my other copy either) and it also doesn't come with the little vertical stand, the black console is apparently designed to stand horizontally, despite having feet on the vertical part also. I guess it's Nintendo's way of saying "You shouldn't, but if you must, we'll make it easy for you". It also will not play GameCube games, where the old ones would, so also watch out for that if it was a selling point for you (never had a GameCube so I don't really care that much). It's not enough to take any stars off a first-rate piece of technology.I recommend this to practically everybody.

Bought this for my Daughters Birthday, they seem to be having a ball. but for me personally the classsic games and console are no match for new ones. but then again this is a 31 year old speaking maybe ive gone old lol.Comes with everything u need to play and easy to set up. graphics seems fine and does the job. yet to try all the games on market. Neat, tidy, small and sleek slim design and ym one came in Black as black seems more sleek and modern to me atleast.
