i just bought myself a nintendo wii tonight 🙂 bought it second hand for 110 pound, came with 3 controllers, 2 numchucks and charging station, it also came with wii sports game which ive tried out an enjoyed the boxing. i need to get some more games now for it, does anyone know what would be good games to buy, not to expensive as buying the wii has left be just about broke. i want to get the board and the bike for it but will have to wait for awhile. just glad ive eventuly got my wii 🙂
 
My diabetic friend and his wife are regularly amused by a couple over the street who they thought had regular marital disagreements showing up as silhouettes on their window at night. They found that they were boxing on the Wii. You have been warned. (try and get Raving Rabbids TV show, it's hilarious).

ha ha the niegbours will think im mad. i will check that game out, thanks vicsetter.
 
Yey....i love my Wii. I was dead excited like you when i got mine. I find though everyone else plays on it more than me but i love it nevertheless.

Yes the boxing hahaha how funny Vicsetter. I may have to try that Raving Rabbids one as not heard of that.

You'll find time will run away with you now...and yes yes the board is great fun. I got that for my birthday 🙂

Sounds like you got a great deal though and think of the fun you will have :D

SuperMario Kart is great fun...mind you i haven't got that yet as its quite pricey...keep your eyes peeled for offers on the Internet like Woolies and Play.com as they do some great deals on games...

Numchucks Sugarbum aren't like the real mccoy lol, they are an extra handheld control that you plug in to the main controller so you can use both hands for example 🙂 Mind you they can be just as dangerous if they fly out of your hand 😉

You don't need the board but it can use it. Doing the slalom riding on a bull (upside down, the cow that is) while holding his horns is priceless, especially when you have to do tricks. Don't know if it helps your BG readings but when the family played it with us we were rolling about.
I found 'UP' dissapointing, the film is good but pricey.
The sequel to Raving Rabbids is not as good as the TV show. Just a quick scan, you can get 'Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party' from Amazon second hand for ?8.90+ PP . You might get one from Gamestation (secondhand ?8.99 online) or Play if you have a shop nearby.

I cant quite visualise it, but thanks for explaining! 🙂
 
I LOVE playing tennis on my Wii !! I try and get in an hour at least most days - I know it's not like a workout at the gym, but it's better than having your butt stuck in front of the TV !!

I also got "Just Dance", which is under ?20 now, where you copy dance routines (with easy to follow instructions), which is a bit more energetic than the tennis, and great if you like dancing but wouldn't do it outside of your own living room, lol.

i've got the Wii Fit and am now trying to get back into it after a period of absence, i particularly like the jogging as it's cardiovascular and i always feel as if i've worked hard after a session, i'm also thinking of buying the new aerobics workout
 
I love my Wii 🙂

My fave games are wacky races and band hero. Got wacky races off Play.com well cheap. Check out the pre-owned bit in game shops, there is nothing wrong with them and they can be miles cheaper than the rest.
Bad hero is very expensive, i got it for christmas and only that. Its awesome and the drums are a good work out. Its atticdive and a great game to play with others. And the beatles game is wicked!!!

A lad in game shop once told me any games based on films are rubbish, they dont put much money into the games and rely on you having loved the film to buy the game, not it being a good game.
Not really sure about this myself.

Try Gamestation for a second hand wiifit board and get a copy of wiifit plus. Or just get em new as a pack if you prefer. That will keep you busy for a bit
 
I get my games from Game.. I generally by the preowned games as they range from about ?4.98 upwards, they also have a website http://www.game.co.uk
 
i've just bought online 'My fitness coach - cardio workout' and can't wait for it to arrive so that i can use it - will let you know what it's like 🙂
