The Nintendo Wii has had its up and downs. Whether it was offering games that previously were dull and boring and turning them into fun and exciting new installments, or their infamous sensor remote controls crashing through a gamer's television, the Nintendo Wii has come a long way.

If you have never experienced the Wii's gaming capabilities, you're truly missing out. There are several types of games, from good ole Mario Kart to Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, to more revolutionary games such as Wii Sports.

The Wii has it's ups and downs. Some of the ups are how interactive and just plain fun the games are. You can play them with old-fashioned controllers, and old fashioned games, or you can play the newer games and jump around.

Most games use the standard Wii sensor controllers. There are, however, a few games that require special controllers. (They're more like holders that just change the way you use the game controllers. You just stick them in there and play.) Most of these also come with their own games as well.

Cons : The controllers. If you mistakenly forget to the wrist strap, they can easily go flying into your television, gaming friend, neighbor's window, cat's water bowl, etc . Also required is a charger to charge your Wii's controllers. The chargers incidentally are about forty greenbacks, which after dishing out a good 250-300 dollars for the console is a bit threatening. However, an alternative is to buy chargeable batteries and a battery charger and simply switcheroo them out. Spatial issues could also arise. The Wii is twice as fun when played with a friend, or even multiple friends, but some of the more interactive games might provide a difficulty in crowded places.

Arguments aside, the Wii is definitely a worthwhile , and is enjoyable for every age. Old folks, young children, youths, anybody can play the Wii. ( This is proved by my 70-year-old grandfather who in all truth plays the Wii more than his younger grandchildren for whom he purchased the Wii for. His special favourite are Wii Bowling and golf. )

So you must be wondering-how many games just are there for this game system? I mean, it's fairly new (compared to most, with the exception of the Playstation 3). According to Wikipedia, there are over 400 games. Another site claims there are over 450 currently on the market. The Wii was launched with approximately twenty games in 2006.

That said , go check out the Worthwhile Wii! .
