Nintendo Wii is an entertainment game console our entire family and extended family enjoys. We have it hooked up to our big screen TV and it has saved many a family gatherings from boredom or lost conversations. The Nintendo Wii has various ways of playing games. You can use the remote and sit down or stand and use it as if you are playing a tennis match.

The game choices are numerous. For kids and grandparents the games involve using multiple remotes and ball hitting challenges. For the gamers in the family the selections come in various easy to intricate game selections. No one is left out by Nintendo.

There are USB ports and multi output ports to connect up various components. We have a blast with surround sound speakers. The game room appears to shake when we go full blast.

The Nintendo technology is at a very high level. We have yet to have any quirks or any problems at all with the game console. The processors are developed with notable companies like IBM and ATI with Nintendo engineers.

The compact size and weight make it very portable. It is an attractive device and easy to stash away when not in use. The expansion slot for SD memory is very cool for showing family pictures and other media.

There are various community Wii features like e-mail and keeping up with other Wii users. We haven't use this, but if we get hard up for friends it might be an option.

I recommend the $250 Nintendo Wii Model ABC to everyone. It is jammed packed with fun and great for all occasions.
