I have found that playing an hour and a half a day of Wii sports makes one sore... lol.... Which is what I have been doing this week.
My friend Rachel's Sister in law has lost 43 lbs in 2 months playing the Wii 2 hours a day, and eating right...
Has anyone else heard of success stories from the Wii?!
Holy cow! I've not heard of this..but I have heard of people losing a ton of weight from playing DDR :D My friend is going to let me borrow his. Woohoo!
well, Wii ~has~ a DDR game for it. I am getting it for Christmas from my other half.... that's all I asked for.
That would be interesting :)
I have a wii!!! wii boxing makes you tired in like 2 minutes... ;)
lol wii football is great
what is DDR
DDR= Dance Dance revolution.
lol not much for wii or DDR
but Rock Band IS AMAZING on xbox 360 :thumbsup2:
I am getting Zane the Rock Star game for Valentine's Day. He's been eyeing it... and we tried it out in Hastings... so... that's what he's getting.
I have a Wii and I love it! I'm pretty much a Pro at the tennis so you better watch it! lol. I have tons of great games. My favorites are Second Opinion, where you get to perform surgery. Smooth Moves, where you do a bunch of random tasks. And Mario Kart!
Im not much on video games but I scored major points with the hubby when I mentioned that I would like a Wii.
That surgery game sounds awesome!
Yeah it's pretty neat. I've never killed a patient! Lol. It doesn't let you kill them. When they are about to die it says someone else takes over and my character never returns to a hospital again...lol. I've had that happen a few times but, I'm pretty good at it. Its really fun.
I love the Wii!!
I love Trauma Centre - it's another doctor game... but I kill my patient all the time ;) And I loovvveeeddd Super Paper Mario, and Wario ware (great party game!!) - and the mario galaxy one was really cool too!!
Zelda Twilight Princess (finished), Mario galaxy(finished), smash brothers brawl, mario party, mariokart, rayman and of course wii sports (got tennis elbow from playing too much wii tennis), even played a little guitar hero, that thing's hard when you're not ued to it...wouldn't mind trying ddr, never have before
Haven't tried it yet. Don't know anyone who has one so I can.
Well come on over to Oklahoma and I'll let you try mine out! lol. :thumbsup2:
I love Wii Bowling!!!!
I actually win!! :biglaugh:
Bowling is the one that I'm not very good at, so I don't play it much. lol.
Bowling is the only one I have played. Im pretty good at it. ;)
I wanna play Mario cart. I LOVED that game on SNES back in the day! :)
The Mario Kart is awesome! I was addicted to it for like the first few weeks of having it. It's really fun!
I need to make a trip to Nannys house...she has it. ;)

Is it anything like the old Mariio?
I dont know what the audio sounds like, cause my speakers dont work...but you can see it here...
Its not anything like the old Mario Kart...it looks way cooler!!

Its nothing like the first Mario. But I do have a game for the wii that has some levels from the first Mario on it. It's pretty cool.
Never heard of Mario Kart, so I don't know what the old one is like. I meant the ole Mario from the original Nintendo.
I'll check your site out in a few.
I think Im gonna see if I can get my Nintendo to work...I still have an original one. :bigcheese:

So do I. when mine quit working, I bought a part on Ebay. It was super easy to fix and now it's working like new.
When I'm babysitting, the kids don't care if it's the old one, it's a game! LOL
I cant get mine to work. I gave it up. *sigh*
Here's the part on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/REPAIR-PART-FIX-NINTENDO-NES-8-BIT-SYSTEM-72-CONNECTOR_W0QQitemZ250268904277QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250268904277&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318

Probably. Mine wouldn't play. Before that it played sometime if I took the game out and blew in it to blow any dust out of it and tried it again.
Anywho it plays like new now. Just open er up, take the old piece out and replace it. Remember, if you do buy it, ask for the directions. If they don't have them, I think I have them around here someplace cuz I bought two of them and I would need to remember how to do it.
Added: I didn't see any sense in throwing all those games out or giving them to the Goodwill at $40 apiece. I did sell some on Ebay, the ones we didn't play much anymore and kept the favorites.
10-4 I will. :thumbsup2: Thanks.
I saved it on my eBay, I dont have the money to get it right now, but maybe in a few days. :)

I bought mine a few years ago, they're always on there someplace. I'm not the only cheap one who will upgrade but keep the old one, too. LOL
Thats why I saved it, I know that one will end, but I can look up another one, I just want to make sure I remember. :)
I think we have an old dusty super nintendo somewhere...the sound cord is completely stuffed for that one

The 8 bit ones we're talking about are from BEFORE Super Nintendo.
Back to games - my hubby is a major gamer - and he beats me at just about EVERYTHING except for wii sport boxing ;) I don't think he's EVER beaten me on that!! He'll be trying to be all "professional" and time the jabs and all that - but I'll just go nuts and not really even look at the screen and I WIN!! hehehe ;) ;)
The Wii boxing wears me out quick. I go nuts on it and can never win. lol..
yeah I know the snes ones you're talking about, an old family friend and an uncle had a console...my uncle's one was the first intro I ever had to a Zelda game
Bernard's currently into the Zelda game on the DS - he plays it aaalllll the time!!
I want a wii so bad. I really just want it for the sports games that go with it. I'm just too cheap to spend 250 dollars on it. I won't even buy a new AC. lol I guess I have to now though
i had a old nintendo...its at my parents...we have a supernintendo...i play it sometimes....i want a wii...lukes getting 1 for christmas...most likely....if he can be good
translation... Luke is getting one so you can play it? :grin: hehe!
My birthday falls totally wrong to ask for one for my B day. August is a tough time around here when you send 4 kids to school.
Clint doesn't want to buy one for christmas for the boys--he said its gonna be more for us than them anyway....lol
lol sarah...thats funny
chel...i will play it...but not too much...jason will play it more than me...lol...he wants 1 bad

You need to move to Australia - then the school year would start in February instead!! ;)
I want to move to Australia!!! Lol. Not because of the school thing... But because I think its beautiful there!
Me too, i just put three applications in with KBR for jobs over there.
It is - I REALLY miss Australia. I love that place, not JUST coz it's beautiful, but I love the laid back kind of culture/feel as well. Hong Kong is MUCH more tense than Australia!!
I'm no joke when it comes to Wii boxing.
Nobody mess with me. ;)
:biglaugh:
Ohh, and I want to go to Oz, too, but only if Nic's visiting!
I'm visiting at Christmas time, you can come with me and meet my baby!! ;)
*cough*
MY Squishy.
Oooh, I'd love to, Nic! Someday soon! ;) Although my family would hog tie me if I tried to miss Christmas.. :biglaugh:
Hmph! I'd hogtie ya if you went to Australia without me! :P

Sydney is laid back compared to Hong Kong! For real!!
Sydney is a MUCH smaller city - but then again most cities are, compared to Hong Kong as well!!
I don't want to live in Sydney though - although I think it's probably inevitable... I hate the traffic problems there!! That's NOT fun! Hong Kong is MUCH easier to get around than Sydney - but I guess it can afford to be with the population density being what it is...
