A must-own for Nintendo fans and great for family use.

The Wii might not have the biggest library of games for those into gritty, mature, "hardcore" games, and many of these "gamers" will find themselves dissatisfied with the available titles. The truth is however that the Wii caters to exactly who it wants to: Long time fans of Nintendo. Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, etc. Franchises that have been with Nintendo for a long time have great games available on this system, and for devoted fans of those franchises, the Wii is more than worth the money. Also yes, it is good for kids and "casuals," but that is by no means a bad thing. The average household will get more use/enjoyment out of a Wii with a decent enough stockpile of games than one would from the other systems where games are generally targeted towards a mature audience. The fact that you can stream Netflix and Hulu is also nice, but of course you can do that from almost anything nowadays. That said the Wii is cheaper than most of those alternatives, gaming systems in particular, so it isn't a bad choice for that either.Read full review
