Since a few days I mainly stay on the couch in front of the TV. The reason: I have got a Wii now! Instead of a new mobile, I got a Wii with my new mobile contract, because I like my mobile and don’t want to have a new one. So Tom and me found a new activity since just a week: Wii Sports. The game is supplied with the console and contains five sports: Tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. The game is controlled with the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, a Wii specific controller with joystick and trigger key – probably for shoot-’em-ups or the like.

Specific about Wii are the controls. A control bar transfers all moves the user makes with his or her Wii Remote to the console. With Wii Sports you can try out these controls marvellously: Especially in tennis, baseball and golf the moves are very realistic.

Playing Wii is really a lot of fun and so it’s no wonder that Wii is not only head and shoulders better than Playstation 3, but it’s even world market leader on the console market. Apart from the common console functions the Wii disposes of an internet access, either by LAN or WLAN. Beside gimmicks like a weather and news channel you can download game classics like Marioland from the shop channel. The downloaded games are paid with so-called Wii Points, which you can buy per credit card or in trade. A Nintendo64 game for example costs 1000 Points, converted that’s 10 Euros.

As many other Wii Fans I’m now waiting for the complete integration of the Nintendo VIP Club in the Wii shop account. As already announced in several Nintendo newsletters it will soon be possible to buy Wii Points with the stars collected in Nintendo VIP Club. You get stars in the form of codes with each Nintendo game and console you buy. According to Nintendo you will get one Wii Point for four stars.

And if you’d also like to have a Wii, why don’t you buy it right now on Amazon: Nintendo Wii Konsole – Wii Sports Bundle white
