Wii Console
Q: My son wants a nintendo wii for christmas but I've heard good and bad things about this console. I dont know much about it but can someone please list the Pro and Cons about this console please. Thank you.
A: Pros - family console that can be used by anyone from age 5 to 95; games are easy to play for the most part; gets you up off of the couch; if you have an Internet connection and are willing to spend a little money (under $20.00), you can download and play original Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Genesis and Nintendo 64 games, etc.; you can also play Gamecube games, but need a Gamecube controller
Cons - if your a couch potato, you don't want a Wii; for hard core gamers, games will seem childish (Manhunt II and Resident Evil 4 are the only "hardcore games" for the Wii). If into war games like Halo, Call of Duty, this is not the system for you.
The really popular Nintendo characters such as Mario, Zelda, Link, Metroid, etc. can be played on this system.
I have searched for info comcerning online multiplayer games for Wii but I see that there is like 1.
So what is the point? What can one wii console do with another? What's this mingles stuff? Is it random mingling?
Is it just sending messages.
When can we expect some online multi player games?
I already have a Wii. We own Mario party 8, and a few others. I'm just upset that Nintendo has not made more games available as multiplayer online games already.The games you can download now are boring.
Finally, here’s a review from someone on Amazon which I thought summed up so many positives of this black Nintendo Wii
‘I had been thinking about getting the Wii for some time but was concerned it would spoil my high tech living room. The black version however looks fantastic and, without the stand in use, lays discretely on my TV unit. It’s surprisingly small and, though I am loathed to admit it, looks cool. It also plays great too. I have a PS3 and for visually engaging games that can’t be beaten (unless you’re an X-Box convert). The Wii however provides an all-together different experience. I have targeted the sports and activity games. Everyone wants to play the Wii from my grand daughter to my wife (not the most dedicated gamer). I am avoiding buying any “serious” titles for the Wii, like Assassin’s Creed II, Avatar and F1 2009, say. The Wii was built for Mario Kart, Sports Resort and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. It’s a lot cheaper than installing a bowling ally, tennis court or boxing ring I can assure you. I recommend getting a composite video lead for the Wii if your TV supports it to optimise the relatively simple visuals. In summary, when we want to have fun or want to involve everyone in the action it’s the Wii we choose.’
I am planning to buy my daughter a Wii console as a gift. I am based in the US but my daughter is based in the Philippines. Will my daughter be able to use the Wii console US version in the Philippines? Thanks.
After I purchased a Wii console, I set it up with my wireless internet. After that however, I cannot access websites on the internet. I would like to know how to install an internet browser.
