A Little Bit About the Wii Motion Plus
(Pictured Above; (1) Included in the new basic package)
Connect the Wii MotionPlus accessory to your Wii Remote controller to increase accuracy and enhance play control on compatible games. Look on the back of Wii Game Disc packaging to see which games are specially designed for use with Wii MotionPlus. Wii MotionPlus contains additional sensors that make the Wii Remote respond to the slightest movement, motion, or twist of the wrist. Wii MotionPlus must be used with a Wii Remote.
Our Experience
When I was younger I loved to play Super Mario Brothers with my brother's on the original Nintendo game console ( the theme song is still fresh in my mind;). Those (at times competitive) fun hours spent with my sibling's aren't something that I would trade for anything. How excited was I to have the opportunity to review the new black Wii by Nintendo?!
In our home now, my husband is the gamer (he loves sports games of all sorts,) while I am more of the active type (I am rarely stationery)..and my kiddo's definitely take after me in this way. The Wii by Nintendo is right up our alley, as you can actually actively play. The game begins and ends with your movement. A sensor bar (that you place either on the top of the television or on the television stand) captures your movement and implements it in the game. With a variety of sports games ( Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort) included in the new basic package we were excited to try out the new sleek black Wii right away!
Setup was simple (took about 10 minutes); we popped in the game and B was playing his favorite outdoor game in the comfort of our family room at 8 at night. He always laments having to go indoors after the sun goes down ( he would play outside morning noon and night if I allowed it)- and now his fun doesn't have to stop! He loves the baseball, tennis, and bowling, ( and so does mommy :) The princess has been enjoying "Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey" for Wii; a game that we picked up separately for her so she could join in on the Wii family fun too!
I have to say, we have used it almost every day since it arrived, and with it's sleek piano black finish, it blends right in with our other electronics. The Wii has brought endless hours of family entertainment, getting us up and moving for family game nights that have created and will continue to create cherished family memories.
What I appreciate most as mom is that Nintendo has made this active family gaming console affordable and attainable. At a time when most companies are skimping on extras while inflating pricing ( on both games and consoles); Nintendo has done the opposite with the Wii by adding more incredible value with games and extras to this gaming system that is truly like no other.
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! The Wii really does offer fun for the entire family! Now I'm off to find myself a copy of Super Mario Brother's.....to relive some old memories...... and create some new one's with the kiddo's; after all, isn't that what family is all about?!
