Nintendo Wii Console Review

I bought the Wii becuase it was cheap, it looked fun, and I wanted to finally play some real Nintendo franchises (I didn't have a Gamecube)

First, the good.

-Motion controlls are amazing, and fun

-games are cheaper than 360/PS3 games

-Console is cheaper than the others

-Nintendo has the absolute best 1st party games

-Tons of extras including a Weather channel, News Channel, Mii channel (little figures that resemle you that you can play as in some games), you can also use the Wii to surf the internet (parental controlls included) and there is a Virtual Console, in which, you can download some of the retro Videogames onto your Wii's 512 mb memory.

-Finally, though the Wii does support WiFi games (games that can be played using the internet), not many games are WiFi compatable, and the WiFi system itself kinda sucks. Also, there are no headsets, or any way of communicating with who you are playing with over the Wii WiFi.


The Bad:

-Since it isn't as powerfull as the 360 and PS3, most of the games that come out for the 360 and PS3 don't come out for Wii, which can be annoying at times.

-512 mb is not a lot. Although it is enough to hold game memory, and a few Virtual Console games, for those who want a lot of Virtual Console games, and maybe some downloadable game content, this isn't enough memory. Also, Nintendo has no further plans to expand the memory, or create an external hardrive. And although you can buy separate memory cards, you have to first download data onto your wii, THEN transfer it to the memory card
