The Wii arrived on Thursday and I’ve spent the weekend playing around with it. If I had to pick one word to describe it: fun.

Including Wii Sports with the console was a stroke of genius. I’ve been having so much fun with just that one game. The bundle came with a stack of other games but my Wii time has mostly been spent on Wii Sports.

I’m in decent shape but my arms were slightly sore after playing with the Wii on Thursday night. It does not need to be a great workout but it could be. You can play with minimal effort but if you put your entire body into it you’ll get a decent workout. Baseball, Bowling and Tennis have the most appeal for me. Golf is too hard and the controls in Boxing just seem too random.
