Do you know anything about Wii games??

17 years ago

My DIL got a Wii system for my DS, and I was thinking about getting a game for him.The system comes with some sports games.

Does anyone know anything about these games? DS is 40...they never grow up, do they? *L*

I know they're expensive--around $50 each. How about a gift card so he can pick his own. Some of the games work with Wii Fit and unless they have the Wii Fit mat I don't think they'd work. I got my GS a Wii for Christmas but leave the games to DD. Good luck!

The Wii is my 'goal award' for myself and I'm hoping I get there by mid-February. When I lose 25 pounds (Weight Watchers) I get a Wii with Fit. I figure the Wii Fit will be a good way to get myself exercising more to reach the next 25 pounds! Not sure what that award will be yet, but I'm thinking something sparkly may be appropriate! Or a weekend on a beach.

For your gift giving, I think the gift certificate is a great idea unless you know what he wants and what accessories he will have. 'Music' is supposed to be wonderful and very popular but I don't know what it requires.

Pepperseed is right....I do have both Jamaican Black and Ice Cream mangoes and I did write about both previously. I have been searching for the thread that I wrote about the Black mango but cannot find it. I did say that I would not have purchased it, in hind sight, based upon how it has turned out. Not being from Jamaica, I have no idea what the real Black mango is supposed to be. I bought mine from Maurice Kong (who is Jamaican) and it is a very small and uninteresting mango. The tree is also a small one and a very slow grower......close in size to Ice Cream.....so in that sense, they are similar....at least at my house. The fruit, however, is nothing like each other. Ice Cream has that strong resinous taste and complex flavor, is light color, almost white fleshed while Black has yellow/orange flesh and little or no resinous twang. The fruits are shaped totally different. But who knows, for all I know, maybe what I have was mis-labeled. As far as the doudouce mango....I have never heard of it. Based on its size and fiber content, I don't think I would be interested in growing it. Harry

I recently bought a Dell 660s with Windows 7. I was seriously considering HP, but at the time I was ready to buy, the only new HP desktops I found came with Windows 8. Just chiming in with 2 cents more..Like some others here, I felt it was time to get a new computer, as my husband's is rather old and running XP, and I don't like Windows 8. My old PC is a Dell Inspiron 560, which my husband will get to replace his, and I have the Dell Inspiron 660s. Both Inspirons are running Windows 7, my hope being to hold out until Windows 9, if it is more to my liking than "'8" and I live so long (I am an old lady already, though not retired!) This may well be our last Dell. Our last 4 or 5 computers were Dells, and we have not had any trouble with them. BUT, this time I found it very frustrating to make a recovery disk in case I need to return to factory condition. The Dell Insp. 560 made that easy with a prompt right at set-up. This time, I had to search through some programs Dell had set up, one part of which, by the way, referred to clicking on a "tile," although this is a Win 7 machine. Then I got a message that some necessary file(s) had not gotten installed correctly (that would be at the factory!), so I had to download and install them, and they didn't appear in my PC for some time, so I didn't know if I had succeeded or not. Finally, an icon appeared that allowed me to make the restore disk. Particularly frustrating was the way certain explanations from Dell would tell all about the restore disk and other things, but not contain a button to click to actually DO them. That is possibly the fault of the faulty software installation I mentioned. Whatever...this experience has really soured me on Dell. Next time I will probably be looking for other recommendations here.

Do You Know Anything About Murray Feiss Lights
Q
Comments (8)
We chose Minka over Murray Feiss for some bathroom lights to save a few dollars. Bottom line, we returned the Minkas and ended up ordering the Murray Feiss. You definitely get what you pay for...the Minka lights were complete junk. Every crystal was scratched...two of the three units were missing pieces...and, the company didn't even want them back! They told us just to keep them so we're just going to throw them away. Our Murray Feiss lights for other areas of the home were of great quality.

I've been doing a little research myself - the Mario Galaxy game for Wii is getting high ratings.

We love the sports games...I got Tom the Wii Sports for Christmas...and he's almost 70 !
His son has it and Tom is hooked on it. We like the tennis, golf and bowling.

Wii Fit is impossible to get around here...hoping to get it after the holidays.

MarioKart is good, and about $30, i think. Lego Star Wars is $20. The other "lego" games are each $50 (Indiana Jones and Batman). We have fun with all of the above.

My DH is getting one for Christmas but only the games that come with it. Once we see how much we use it we may get more.

DH just said that he loves Guitar Hero world tour with all the different instruments and lots of classic rock songs. I also want the Guitar hero ACDC addition.

I have the Wii Fit and the sport game that came with the console. The only other game I want right now, I need a Wii card for because you can only download it. TETRUS!!! I LOVE Tetrus! It's 1500 Wii points, so I'm hoping someone gives me a Wii card for Christmas. If not, DH will have to buy it for me. Wii doesn't take American Express. LOL That's my credit card.

I can highly recommend Outdoor Challenge. In fact, we think it's better than WiiFit (which we also have) We bought ours at Amazon, but I've seen it at Target. It was around $60

The sports games that come with the Wii are all good and can keep you busy for a while. If you wanna see how to make the strike on the last ball of the bowling TRAINING section which has 91 pins, check out YouTube. It is soooo cool when you can do it.

Guitar Hero is one the g'kids like, but even though I love music, I don't especially care for it. Prefer something that makes you MOVE. The g'kids also like Boogie and I like watching them do that one. At least they get exercise with Boogie.

Spouse and myself are Seniors. We play a few hours of billiards on Wii most every day. The billiards come on a disk that is packaged with the wand at Wallmart. This disk has several other of what I would call 'geezer games' i.e. bowling and golf, perhaps others. I call them 'geezer games' because the pace of play is determined by the player rather than by the CPU. One can take a shot at the queue ball and go the lunch if one wants. One does not need to instantly react to activity on the screen.

You can download games on it...

Also you can play your other Nintendo brand games in it too. At least I think I'm right about that...Grandkids got it last year...and have a ton of games on it.

I don't have one...sniff...

I have the orginal Nintendo system, Super Nintendo (two systems of that one), two systems of Nintendo 64, Play Station and PlayStation two...

That's as far as I've gotten...

And I like the Role Playing games...

So you're right...some of us never outgrow or grow up...whatever...But I'm only 63....gosh that sounds old when you see it in print...LOL

My mom and dad got my sister's family and my family Wii's last year for Christmas. I have Sim's Castaways and I love it. You are stranded on an island and have to figure out how to survive. I like more puzzle type games. We also have Summer Games and that's a lot of fun, it has volleyball, minature golf, horseshoes, etc.
My husband has a couple of racing games but prefers to race on his PlayStation 2.
I also have a cooking game on the Wii that I really enjoy.
