YEP... WE ARE NOW THE PROUD OWNER'S OF ANOTHER NINTENDO SYSTEM PURCHASED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PLAYING JUST ONE GAME. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT IF MARIO WAS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO NINDENDO I WOULDN'T HAVE ENCOURAGED THE PURCHASE OF THE LATEST SYSTEM. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER MY HUSBAND WAS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A VIDEO GAME SYSTEM. MY CUBE WAS A XMAS GIFT FROM THE HUB AND BOYS A FEW YEARS AGO. I STILL HAVEN'T GOT PAST THE 3RD LEVEL ON MARIO SUNSHINE AND I'M STILL WORKING ON GETTING BLUE AND YELLOW PIKMAN. BUT SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE HUSBAND WAS INTERESTED IN THE SYSTEM I WASN'T ABOUT TO SAY NO. THE ONE DRAWBACK TO OWNING THE Wii... MY HUSBAND THINKS THIS WILL COUNT AS EXERCISE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE DANCE PAD THINGIE THAT I'VE SEEN WITH OTHER GAMES WAS A GAME CUBE OPTION? WE'LL NEED MORE THAN JUST GETTING UP OFF THE COUCH WHEN IT'S OUR TURN.

Wii is great exercise! Wii Sports has tennis and boxing and that will have you working up a sweat. I also get really into playing Guitar Hero and jump around like a rock star -- look how skinny some of those rock gods are :) |

The Wii is kick a$s exercise. You will be sore the next day after playing the games. It's awesome! Are you talking about DDR when you speak of the "dance pad thingie"? That is also a fantastic work-out. Have fun!!!! Yes_Forever |
Try Cooking Mama's Cookoff. You'll find yourself laughing and getting in to it.
ItsJillJust let yourself go - you can't fight it. I have Nintendo, about 5 versions of gameboys, Xbox Live, Playstations I, II and II and about every other weird gaming system in the house for boys. And yes, the Wii too!
Strangely, I've been able to keep most of the violent stuff out of the house. I only let them buy games that don't kill people or replicate street gang stuff. The only exception was Halo which they play with friends all over the country that they know (and some in other countries that they dont). Why is this their favorite?
It's a mad, mad world......and this is evidence!
