Post Wii is actually quite entertaining

Well,

$190 comes with a wii sports game. Not a bad deal.

Not many games are suitable for us though. We are only interested in sports/exercise games. It provides much needed exercise in the winter time.

I have to admit the Legend of Zelda is very tempting(I grew up playing it), but I just don't have time for games with storylines and stuff.

The new Mario bros is pretty cool. Again, not sure I will play through the whole game. It is too time consuming.


Please share you experience here.

Oh yeah, there is a internet function. Supposely, I can play online with other people.

Imagine, playing tennis, bowling and table tennis with Wii gamers online. It is so cool.

We can't figure it out though. Our Sony Bravia should have pretty good resolution 1080p and we use premium connecting cable for our Wii.

I wonder why the imagines are so blocky (not smooth). Am I too picky?

not a gamer but i'd guess the the images are a function of the game and not the tv.

i've seen erick's PS3 games on his awesome TV and the images looks incredible

Wii is not HD, hence your image quality. 480p would be my guess.

I recommend getting Wii Sports Resort and buying an extra "Wii motion plus." My kids play that all the time and the games are great fun! I have Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and it is a good game! It has a story line, but you can still play it whenever and not let it take over your life.

I am going to get "Sims agent" for myself soon, looks fun.

Yup, we've got the sport resort and the motion enhancement thingy. Yup, it is lots of fun.

About the HD, I think I saw a screen options like HD 480p something. No, it doesn't have 1080p.

The problem is wide screen tv really expose the imperfections. If we are still using the old TV, the images would have been amazing, if you know what I mean.

Too bad, our setup is in our tiny little basement. It barely fits both of us playing wii. Even 4 people will be way too cozy.

Bill, get a wii and can play against each other online. How about that?
