Nintendo Wii

Purely on impulse, we picked up a Nintendo Wii console bundle from Costco last night. We had been eyeing the Wii for a bit here and there but were not really serious on buying it until recently. Needless to say, it is a very fun experience! Within 10 minutes of setting it up we were already wirelessly connected to the Internet and trying to hit baseballs out of the park.

The Costco bundle comes with two games, Excite Truck and the Legend of Zelda. The system itself comes with a Wii remote, a Nunchuk attachment, and the Wii Sports game, which includes tennis, baseball, boxing, bowling, and golf. Games are displayed in 480p resolution.

It's a family friendly system and I can see the Wii serving as a centerpiece for entertaining friends and family of all ages. It's a totally different and radical video gaming experience. We just have to remember to stretch properly before playing Wii Sports!
