it's been tons of fun and we've only had it for a few hours!

i started a new job so this is the greatest stress relief ever for when i get home! and fun bonding time with DH.

for those of you that have it, what games should we invest it?! so far i'm a huge fan of tennis and golf!

Oooh, isn't it so much fun?!?! My favorite games are MarioKart (so addictive, love the steering wheel!) and Super Mario Galaxy (definitely the best of all the Mario series, if you like those sorts of games). Have fun!

We have one.  My dds love it.  So does dh.  We have Wii Sports, Mario Kart and Wii Play.  Love them all.  I did get to try the Fit at my SIL's house.  I think it's okay.  I see it more of a video game than a "work out".  I tried the workout session.  I get more out of my cardiokickboxing class than the game.  Plus, you can cheat or not be doing the workout correctly.  I did enjoy the hoola hoop game (worked up a sweat!).  My kids liked it as well but they didn't love it like they do with Sports and Play.  We will wait until they are more available and not join in on the frenzy on purchasing a Fit.  Hope this helps.

i just use it for wii fit, which is amazing. i don't care who thinks i'm lame for getting my workout from a "video game" because it works so well for me! i don't have to suffer the embarrassment of sweating in a gym in front of other people... haha. 

my boyfriend is a big fan of mario cart. he plays with his friends online most of the time, and it's kind of cool to play against someone whose 1000 miles away!

enjoy it. :]

We got a Wii for Christmas.  I love it!  We got Wii Play for the extra remote, but I also like the the games on it.  And, recently I got Guitar Hero III, and I love it!  DH and son have other games, like Tiger Woods, Cabella's, some safari game, but I don't really play those.  I still want Wii Fit, but I'll have to wait for that.

This is on our Santa list.  Seriously, we may end up buying ours next month they are so hard to find here.  Thanks for the game recommendations.  I secretly want Guitar Hero!

We love ours!

The Wii Fit is fun. I love ours.

Next favorite is Carnival Games followed closely by Mario Kart. We also have Wii Play (we got it for the extra remote since a remote is like $40 by itself and the Wii Play comes with the game and the remote for about $50).

Have fun with it. My husband and I like to play it when the kids go to bed. LOL. :)

I know - I'm not much of a video game girl but I LOVE the Wii.  What's especially fun is that my parents and in-laws love playing the bowling too. Definately a great game for all ages.

 I would also recommend the Wii fit - great fun way to sneak in some exercise.

Love the Wii - we've had ours now for about a month.  Definatley another vote for the Wii Fit - although was a bit annoyed when it told me I needed to loose 13lbs to be at my best.  Now I've lost 2-3lbs in 2 weeks, I'm feeling slightly better though :)

We have one, and the boys love it!  We have Wii Sports, Wii Play, Carnival Games, Mario Galaxy and a Harry Potter game.

The sports is probably the biggest hit for the whole family.  DS (8) loves HP and Mario Galaxy.  DS (3) loves the sports games bc he can kind of play along!

It's a much better family system than the x-box...I get so tired of fighting with DS over what games he can play.  It's not even an issue with the Wii.

Rebekah-you will want to check out Mario Kart. It is fun. Make sure you get 2 steering wheels so you can play with him. :)
