Is the Wii worth getting? I was interested in getting that and the Wii fit thing to do exercises and yoga, etc. I know it won't be hard-core getting into shape kind of exercises, but I'm just looking for something to keep me active. Any thoughts?
Re: Wii/Wii Fit Questions...
I have the Wii Fit and IMO it's not worth it. It's fun for about a month and then it's boring.
We've got both. The Wii by itself is an amazing technology and helps bridge the gap for non-gamers... my 86 year old grandma loves the bowling game that came with the console, and so does my 6 year old niece. Madden is really neat too, but with all wii games, the controls are a bit less precise than other consoles and 3rd party games which make good use of the controls can be hard to come by (Rayman Raving Rabbids is one of the few which is really excellent).
The WiiFit is nice, sort of, sometimes. I like the variety, but the annoying child voice which tells me 'you're overweight!' every time I'm weighed makes me want to kick the damn board through the screen. The activities are too short and the navigation is too long... though the Wii Fit Plus is supposed to remedy both issues (you use the same balance board with both so getting WiiFit will cut the cost of Plus in half). The hula hooping program still makes me die though.
