A Wii in the Family
My daughter finally became the proud owner of a Wii. She met us in Kentucky this past weekend and while some of us didn’t get to play with the Wii as much as we liked, when we did, it was a blast. The first night we played, I was doing great while bowling. I’m glad I bowl better using a Wii than in real life. I had two spares when the power went out. Boo hoo. A tree had toppled the electric lines near my sister’s house and the houses all along the street were without power. We decided to pack everyone into a few vehicles and go to the Mexican restaurant to get some dinner. When we returned, hubby and I headed over to my niece’s house to spend the night there. No more Wii for me that night.
A few nights later we got my niece’s husband playing Mario Kart. Oh my gosh! We were laughing so hard. Did you know you can connect your Wii to the Internet? You can download games for even more fun. Yowzers! My daughter is going to be happy to hear about that.
The WiiWare games will be easy to download on the Wii Shop Channel. Just add some Wii points and you are ready to go. Another nice feature is that users will be able to see other player’s opinions to help them decide what to play next.
Today’s release includes:
FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: My Life as a King™
LostWinds™
Defend your Castle™
Pop™
TV Show King

Wii’s are so popular, I love the idea that you aren’t sitting down when you play them. It’s a good thing. I don’t own one yet, but will this year hopefully. I wanna be a guitar hero rockstar! lol

I love it too. I can see why they put wrist bands on the controllers. LOL

The Wii is a fun little machine. I love playing with the controls, they are just so inovative. Have fun playing that Wii.

My friend just got Mario Kart and I had a blast playing it with the steering wheel that comes with it. I just wish there was a cool light saber or sword fighting game.

Mario Kart is a good family get together. I love watching my kids who can finally turn the wheel when they used to the turn the controller which didn’t do anything in Double Dash

That is really great. The Wii is definitely the perfect system for a child as well as the entire family. There are so many great games for it and the Wii never gets old. Have fun with your system.
