Very fun and gets kids off the couch.

Waited and waited and waited for this to become regularly stocked at our Exchange overseas, and it came in when my hubby was deployed. I bought it, and had it set-up for him when he finally came home after being gone 15 months. Being somewhat unsavvy tech-wise, I love how the games have the built-in tutorials and practice sessions. I am one of those parents who would probably get my kids a separate console as I would not want to share this with them. I love how small and stream-lined it is. My only advice would be to get the silicone skins for the controllers, makes them easier to grip, and not that I have ever dropped mine, I am assuming it would cushion the fall, if you did drop it.

Lots of fun with friends or by yourself!

If you dont have one of these go out and find one! They are so fun to play. It comes with the generic old Wii sports, But even that game provides HOURS of entertainment! Ive never had so much fun boxing. Everyone around has fun just watching you play, this is incredible! About half of my friends have gone out and found their own and Love it just as I do mine.

Entertainment has a value of not only occupying one's mind in a fun way but the bonding involved can't be overlooked. Good choice.

fun and cool. great for new gamers

Funny

This is what a games console should be about, fun.

Fun for the young
Fun for the old
Fun for the light hearted
Fun for the serious

Summed up in one word, Fun.
