If you have not yet tried the Nintendo Wii, now is a great time to do so. Forget the outrageous prices that all the top systems started at. You can own a Wii for under $150 along with the Mario Kart game and the Wii wheel, which is a steering wheel you can steer your kart with.

The games have also gotten way more affordable. Instead of the $50 and up they used to retail at, games can now be purchased for $19.99. That’s quite a change (and quite a lot of change you will get back).

The Nintendo Wii system has wireless “wiimotes” that you hold like a television remote. They are easy to hold and use, and make your play time so much more fun. Many games do not even require you to push buttons. You just aim the wiimote at the tv and move it around accordingly.

You can connect your wii to netflix, if you are a subscriber, and enjoy plenty of gaming fun. Purchase games right online through the game channel on your wii, or visit one of the many other channels your wii offers. Such as the nintendo channel, where you can see all the latest games and even the classics. The news channel updates you on all the current issues. The forecast channel will give you the weather anywhere you seek.

For tons of fun visit the Mii channel. Here you create little “miis” that you play many of your games with. All your friends and family can also create miis, and you can do lots of silly things with them like have a parade. There’s even a photo channel, where you can upload your own digital photos and make them into puzzles, mosaics, or just use effects to make them totally crazy!
