Title: Wii
Post by: Philip on Apr 23, 2008, 21:22:45
never been much of a gamer before, but since we got a Wii for Christmas I am slowly getting into gameing. Wii Sports that came with it is great fun, tennis is great as is bowling, but after 3 rounds of boxing I was knackered :eek4:

We have just got Mario Kart Wii which is awesome, I think I am going to get seriously addicted to this game, plus we have got Wii Fit coming on Friday.............oxygen tank is at the ready :wimp:

Any other Wii ers here?

I don't Wii myself, well only in the bathroom, but they are fun to use.

The Wii is great, but it would be better if now and then I could beat the 4 year old granddaughter at something.  >:(

I am amazed at how much exercise you get playing the games, an hour of tennis leaves me truly whacked.

Heaven knows what the Wii Fit will do to me, hopefully it will be late arriving.

know just what you mean Philip - I've come to the conclusion that the Wii is nothing more than an "exercise is good for you" propaganda machine - but it's so much fun  ;D

It seems like Nintendo have really come up with a different form of gaming. :)

Is it 'gaming' though Rik?
After a full hard days graft at the local sweatshop i would sooner relax in the armchair to Mario Kart etc than having to do further exercises via a console  :dunno:
