Nintendo Wii

[kallis3]

We played on there all day Christmas Day - first time I have not watched any TV at all.

I'm rubbish at tennis as well!

We are very careful when we do it.

I'm just waiting for the Wii fit now!

Hi again,, the Wii motion plus is a thing that clips into the bottom of the standard Wii controller & you put the nun chuck into that. Its a great bit of kit especially with friends. We have even weighed & put the dogs on ours,, LOL,, [:D]When we go for a jog or cycle ride on the Wii the dog joins us,, its really clever.
Our son has a very high score on the Ski jump, but will try & beat it later.

My favourite is "head the ball" and the hula hoop ....I can't get to grips with the ski jump, hubby is great at it and finds it highly amusing that I'm not [:D]

My 6 yr old granddaughter is great on all of them! We bought her a wii for Christmas and she hasn't been off it. At least she's getting exercise [;)]

[kallis3]

That is one good thing about it - everyone gets exercise rather than just sitting there playing computer games.

Daughter is here this weekend so no doubt we will be playing again later!

[Julie]

Mmmmmm as Skippy has been quiet tonight, do you think she's practising on the wii [:D]

[Skippy]

Sussed! I've proved how useless I am at canoeing and wakeboarding as well!

We've been playing Who Wants to Be a Millionnaire and I have to say I was a bit better than that, although I didn't get the million!

Julie, what winter sports game have you got? I was looking online and there were a few. One said it was compatible with the balance board, but do you actually need it, as I can't afford it at the moment?

[kallis3]

I'm useless at everything but I have been enjoying the Wii fit - brilliant exercise.

[Julie]

Skippy - you don't need the board, you can play winter sports just with the nunchunk. It is much better with the board though as you are using your body as opposed to your hands...if you see what I mean?

We have the wii sports and use the board...it measures your body movements and is well worth getting, when you can.

Not done the boxing - you might be able to beat me at that!

I tried the rhythm(sp)boxing on the wii fit earlier and had no co-ordination at all!! I do hula well for a big bloke though!!!

[Shining]

I'm only good at cow racing and boxing! Mmmmm!

[kallis3]

I tried the rythym boxing as well - I'm the same as you Paul!

Hands and feet just don't want to work together! I've done the ski jumping and can just about manage that without failing and becoming a giant snowball!

I just have to persuade daughter to leave it at our house!

[plasticdaft]

Well my son managed to slam dunk our lounge light!!!(the 1st of many a wii related incident no doubt!!)
At least it didnt fall out the celing!

[Shining]

It's always important as well to use the wrist strap, I've read of many a TV smashed

[Skippy]

We got our Wii Fit today - it's brilliant! I wasn't too impressed with my Wii Fit age though - it seems to think I'm 47! Dave was happy though as it said he was 44!

We set Harry up with his own Mii, so he'll be weighed regularly as well, much to his disgust!

PD, I haven't broken anything yet, but Dave thinks it's only a matter of time!

[kallis3]

My Wii fit age is 68 - and I'm 56 and fitter than I've been for years!

I have to save up and get one of my own - could be value beans on value bread for a while![:D]
