 Wii console October 12, 2008
I bought this console 6 days ago and I am really exited about it, along with two games to start playing with it, I already know system configurations and how this console works overall, I will focus my review on only the limitations I could notice so far:
*Channel switching: If you are reviewing games on the Wii Shop channel, you probably want to see a video review of the games you are interested in, you will have to go back to Home Menu and enter the Nintendo Channel (which is free for download). So switching back and forth from channels is slow, and you can't have more than one channel open (the one you are in). Including Wii games (which it is a channel itself) you can't suspend your games to quick check the weather update (for example), only games you can do that is on NES games which is obvious as it is the only way to save your progress.
*Wii Shop channel and Everybody's votes channel availability): If you live in a country currently not supported for these channels, prepare yourself for major disappointment. Even wii points card are for sell in my country, I must set the Wii in USA in order to enjoy all benefits of wii shop.
*Wi-Fi reach: I find this console to have a short range of wireless reception signal, my laptop is very close to where I have the console right now and it gets the wireless-g signal from my wireless router upstairs very good, I get a lot of connection problems with my Wii, sadly I can't help it because I can't move the TV from its current location, only solution is to move the router closer to the Wii, which I will try anytime soon.
Other than that, I am really exited about my shop and plan to buy more games and more controls as I become able to afford it.
 Fun console but limited appeal to serious gamers October 8, 2008
I consider myself a semi-hardcore gamer and own all the major consoles and play PC games as well. I bought a Wii soon after it came out but to be honest, although it's got some fun games (and my two-year-old loves the crude GT Pro game), overall it has limited appeal to serious gamers. If you go nuts over "cute" titles like Wii Fit and Mario, you won't be disappointed by the Wii. I use it occasionally, because I find the games not cool enough for 2008. (No, I'm not selling mine...)
 the best game console ever October 6, 2008
I think this is the best game console ever. I have had others in the past but none measure up to the Wii. The controls are easy to use and the games are alot of fun. It is one of the few game consoles that does not turn players into couch potatoes. :)
This is a great thing for kids to play with September 28, 2008

The Wii is a very innovative and unique console. It's great for any age. I highly recommend it for anyone who owns a television.
