Christmas Gift Ideas #11: Nintendo Wii

You may have already seen the Wii, but if not – your in for a treat! The Nintendo Wii was one of last years favourite christmas presents for both boys and girls, and xmas 2008 is no different! This popular console, made by Nintendo has a much different approach to gaming, you use your bodies motion and speed to interact with the games through the sensitive controllers.

The revolutionary controller design offers unique motion-sensitive gameplay options and comes with built-in Wi-Fi that delivers free online services and gameplay. You can also play with up to 4 players at home if you have enough controllers on popular games like Mario Kart, Tennis and Bowling ( both found in the Wii Sports package) popular games to play.

The controllers are quite battery hungry, so i would recommend purchase the battery packs and chargers to keep the controllers charging when not in use. This also prevents the signal becoming weak during play. The Wii itself is a very sleek and narrow white console, and the stylish controllers are easy to get used to. Don’t forget to use the hand straps supplied to save your precious television screens! Although these may be seen as suitable only for a boys christmas present, these really are a family gift! Adults and kids alike can enjoy thse games so don’t hesitate to buy one – make sure you are quick as there only a few days left!
