By now you have certainly heard of the revolutionary new video game platform, the Nintendo Wii. Unlike anything that has come before it, the Wii makes the players part of the game with its revolutionary new control system. The Wii controller is a wireless remote control that senses movements in three dimensions. That remote sensing technology allows you to eschew the conventional buttons and joysticks that have been the standard for video games for decades. Instead, of pushing buttons or moving a stick, you move your arms; gesturing, swinging, poking, and sometimes flailing your way through the game! If you want to experience this amazing new game platform for yourself it can be difficult to know exactly what to purchase in order to have everything you need to enjoy the Wii experience. That is why the Nintendo Wii bundle is such an enticing option.

Purchased by itself, the Wii comes with a remote control – officially called a Wiimote – and a Nunchuk controller; an analog joystick that attaches to the Wiimote using a long cable. The Nunchuk also has the internal accelerometer that the Wiimote possesses, so it too is capable of motion sensing as well. The Nunchuk is to be used in conjunction with the Wiimote and it serves to enhance the game play experience. Further, the Wii includes all the power cords, audio-video cords, and the sensor bar and stands that you need to get started. Most important, the Wii includes Wii Sports, a game that lets you test your skills on the golf course, baseball diamond, bowling alley, boxing ring, and tennis court; it is the perfect platform to demonstrate the things the Wii can do. However, for those who want to see all the Wii is capable of doing, then you need more than the basic offerings, and a Nintendo Wii Bundle can deliver precisely that.

A Nintendo Wii Bundle is a package deal that is available at various retailers such as Gamestop, EB Games, and Wal-Mart. A typical Nintendo Wii Bundle includes all the basics that accompany a basic Wii purchase, but with many valuable extras. For example, the Nintendo Wii bundle available at Gamestop includes additional memory, an additional remote control, a twelve month product replacement plan, and 6 additional games; Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Red Steel, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, and Madden NFL 2007. The Nintendo Wii Bundle from Wal-Mart, and other retailers, follows a similar vein, but the included games can vary. For example, Wal-Mart offered four additional games in their Nintendo Wii bundle, and at a lower price that reflects the fewer included game titles.

A Nintendo Wii bundle is the perfect way to begin experiencing the fun and excitement the Wii has to offer. If you are purchasing a Wii as a gift for someone else and you are not a game savvy person, a Nintendo Wii bundle is a very attractive option because you can be certain that the recipient will not only have all the hardware they need to play, they will have a great selection of games as well. Depending on where you shop you might find that the Nintendo Wii bundle has been a hot seller and is currently not being offered. However, careful and thorough shopping will let you find a Nintendo Wii bundle deal that is available and with a selection of games that fits your needs and budget.

Game reviews: Wii Sports

Returning a volley, hitting a home run, or throw a knock out punch. Until recently you pressed a button to carry out these actions, not the most stimulating or realistic experience. Nintendo and Wii Sports plan to change all that. Requiring you to swing, punch, and throw your way to pro status.

Wii Sports is a compilation of 5 sports games, baseball, bowling, boxing, golf and tennis. And comes bundled with your purchase of a Nintendo Wii, therefore free (who doesn't like free stuff). This game was intended to introduce Nintendo's new controls, with quick and simple game play.

What Nintendo envisioned when the designed this game was something anyone could just pick up and play. Success of this vision can be see in Nintendo Wii sale numbers, just about sold out ever week for 14 straight months.

Wiimote and Nunchuck Controller for Nintendo Wii

Watching your mom or grandma pick up the controls and go straight into playing some Wii Bowling or Wii Golf shows how easy playing Wii sports can be. The learning curve is about 2 seconds. What Wii Sports lack from is an amount of depth and some unresponsive controls.

Wii Bowling really demonstrates how well the Wii controllers can work. Want to put a little spin on the ball? Twist your hand like you would if you were at a real bowling ally and watch your ball come within inches of the gutter only to find its way back into the pocket.

Controls for Wii Sports are a not always perfect and can be a bit frustrating at times. Wii Boxing can be extremely frustrating, as it never seems to do what you want it to. You'll find yourself constantly, throwing jabs no matter what motion you make, and eventually lying on the canvas.

The Wii remote utilizes its built in accelerometer to gauge how fast you may throw a pitch or how hard you swing your golf club. In other words you don't have to throw your arm out for a 100mph pitch. A quick flick of your wrist will do the trick. This is useful for the lazy gamers to choose to take the easy way out of any form of exercise. (Yeah, you know who you are)

My biggest concern with Wii Sports is the lack of online play. Wii Sports was built to be a multiplayer game, a pretty darn good one at that. However, no online features is extremely disappointing.

Still, Wii Sports is an over all fun experience, for the whole family, and its free.

Game Play Score: 7/10

Easy for even the most inexperienced gamers to learn, so the next time you're playing Wii Sports be sure to give grandma some playing time as well. Some frustrating
