DH went to go play hockey, so I have it ALL to myself and the kids are asleep. I am doing pretty well in tennis and boxing, bowling is okay, golf and baseball...I stink. I really broke a sweat - I LOVE it!!

I have a fitness score of a 67 year old though ....but hey, give me some time with it, will ya?

Calimama replied: The Wii is great!! Whenever I can't run I play. I really want the Wii fitness game!!

luvmykids replied: Nikka is getting a wii from her grandma, I can't wait for her to open that puppy

Glad you enjoyed it, aren't you glad you guys didn't give up the quest?

Anthony275 replied: i think my highest bowling score is a 276
boxing and baseball i suck at too so dont worry
golf is fun and tennis i think my average is 2100+

did you try training yet? practice bowling and golf in training to get better

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Well I'm hooked big time! Seems to be more of a present for me, not DH...LOL! We watched an intro DVD that DH picked up last night and it showed a preview of all their games. I think the dance party ones look really fun! Now I'm thinking we should have bought the bundle with all the games I'm going to want! We just need a second remote so I can kick DH's a$$!!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
I didn't really check my scores, but I know they weren't great. I have never been into sports, so to be honest, I wouldn't even know a good score from a bad one. Especially in golf! I did try the training and loved it! That's what got me really sweating. The boxing! I had to punch a bag until it fell off the chain. Did okay with that...I would like to believe it's all the kickboxing I do at the gym...LOL.

Anthony275 replied: omg i hate the boxing..every time i do the fitness test it hurts my arms because the one bag (i think the white one?) takes too long to break off

now arent you happy you didnt give up your quest for a wii?

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Yes I'm happy I didn't give up. But remember, I'm not the one who actually got it. I was just a day away from getting him a gift card for after Xmas.

Anthony275 replied: well the system is yours too and you did get him the zelda game so it is a joint gift
did you tell the boys yet?

lisar replied: I didnt like the wii. I dont know I think it might have just been the game I didnt like. I will have to try it again with a diffrent game.

MyBabeMaddie replied: That makes me want a Wii, i didn't know they had fitness games!

stella6979 replied: I personally love the Mama's Cook Off game. LOL! That one is a good workout for the arms as well.

TheOaf66 replied: everyone needs to stop talkin about WII's because I would love to get one

Kaitlin'smom replied: I LOVE our Wii, I need to get playing again. I need to see what new games are out there.

Anthony275 replied:
i have the ds version, are there a LOT of foods/things to make? like, more than 75? if i get it then i dont want it to be a game i beat in a week or 2. can you send the things you make to a friend?

stella6979 replied:
There are a ton of recipes! But you can only unlock them if you complete the ones that are already open. I did beat it pretty quick, but only because we had just gotten the Wii (so I was super excited) and DH works nights so I was pretty much up all night for 3 dang days playing that thing. I do still think it's fun to play even though all the recipes are open. DH and I will have competitions sometimes on his rare days off.

Anthony275 replied: alright, so its multiplayer? thats basically what happened to me when i got the ds version, i unlocked everything andit got boring doing everything over again by myself. so since the wii version is multiplayer, ill have somebody to do it with
thank you!

Calimama replied:
Better than MAMAMAMA. That part and her voice annoyed the crap outta me.

stella6979 replied:
LOL! I forgot all about her annoying voice. After listening to it for the first few mintues, I turned it down and put on the stereo.

Anthony275 replied: it talks?! i guess i lucked out with the ds version, only backround music played

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Sorry Troy. I know the feeling of wanting one bad. I still can't believe we actually got one. DH opened it last night and I was like "THAT little thing is what everyone wants?" It's smaller than I expected.

I'm going to have to look for that cooking game! Sounds right up my alley!

Furries, sorry don't know your name, Wil played with us last night. We took turns boxing and he really got into it. Wesley is still too young. Are there games for preschoolers, do you know? I know someone here mentioned that Zelda isn't so great, but I asked DH last night which of the games would be his top pick, and Zelda was it. So I think I made the right choice! We can always turn around and sell it on Ebay if he doesn't like it. The Wii Play didn't get very good ratings as far as the games go. People said they were boring and that the only good thing is you get an extra remote. What's your take on it? You recommended it, that's why I ask. I know a remote is only $10 less, but if we're not really into the games, is it really worth getting the Play? DH also wants one of the classic remotes, it's on his list. Should I get one? Is it good for games like Zelda?

Anthony275 replied: classic remote is only used for games on the virtual console
i reccomend wii play because it comes with the controller and i borrowed it from a frienmd, its fun but yeah some things are hard (pool is hard to do) but there's a game where you "race" a cow and try to get it to knock over scarecrows, and the fishing game is fun. its a simple game that's all
they had the disney cars game and the ratatouille games, they have things like that; you can look here for list of wii games
