The Nintendo Wii is the newest game system on the block, and is probably one of the coolest. On the Wii game system, there are a wide variety of games to play. One to four players with Wii remotes can play at one time depending on the games you get. Wii Sports is the game that always comes with the Wii when you buy it. There are lots of rumors that the Wii gives you exercise, and in my opinion, they are true!

Some things that you can also do when playing Wii sports are training and the Wii fitness test. Training has various games to play and helps you train for the Wii fitness test. One of my favorites is target practice, which you use your Wii remote to rally a tennis ball on a wall, trying to hit the target.

Another fun game that lets you exercise is "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games". You can be various characters from the Sonic and Mario video games. You can also play different games that are and are not Olympic games for real. The Dream Race in the Dream Events is one of my favorites. Table tennis is a lot of fun and good exercise too. Other games include skeet, archery, swimming and track.

On the Wii menu, you can make Miis, which are characters that your friends create to look like you. Also, if your Wii is hooked up to the Internet you can watch the weather and other things. You can buy Wii points to use in Wii shop channel and buy games like "Pokemon Snap". I have also heard there will be a channel released soon called "Pokemon Ranch" where you raise your pokemon from Diamond or Pearl games on a ranch.

I have really enjoyed my Wii. It has been physically beneficial as well as mentally. It was well worth the investment.
