Nintendo Wii - Wii Sport!!!

[goldenpath]

My family played this game the other day; tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. I have to say that after playing all these games, the next day everybody's arms and back were sore. I really think that it was the boxing. We all really broke a sweat playing boxing. We enjoyed it.

Has anybody else played it? What are you favourite games?

Hey, Debbie. MY FIL bought my boys the Wii and it was obvkously the HIT of the day! My older son's favorite is the bowling. He works up quite a sweat too. It's funny; he was sore the next day and it took us a little bit to figure out that it was from the bowling! lol My younger son likes the table tennis, but his FAVORITE Wii game is his Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games....he especially likes the trampoline competition! lol As for me, well, I like them all but I haven't had a chance to try the boxing, which we're planning on doing later. They are fun, aren't they?

My older son won a Wii for selling popcorn for boy scouts.

We all tried the boxing. What a blast!!
My husband worked up quite a sweat and he was pretty tired !!

I like it because my boys are not just sitting and playing video games they are actually moving around.

I even played it when the kids were in school

My daughter got one for Christmas from her grandparents and we have all played it! It is so much fun...even my parents (not the ones that gave it to her) played it with her...they did bowling and golf. I really enjoy the bowling and especially the boxing!

Oh, I forgot...my right arm was quite a bit sore from pitching during baseball

I can't even use my darn living room right now, because DH set up the Wii in there. My 4 and 7 year old sons have been moving nonstop playing Wii Sport, and other Wii games. It's been raining all day, so this was good for them

What a timely post as I can barely move my arm today... Wii arm has fully set in... and I dont think the real bowling earlier in the afternoon helped matters... I dont plan on being able to lift my arm at all tomorrow with the 2nd day DOM's...

I like the Wii sports... and got Wii Playground with dodgeball, tetherball, darts. I also like Mario Party with all the mini games...

My son got this for Christmas and complained of a sore arm the next day from all the boxing. We had lots of fun with our extended family do all the sports and the Big Brain Academy. We had both Grandmas bowling and playing baseball.

Next time, be sure he uses the other arm so he gets an even workout ;-)

My parents just bought a Wii to play with the grandkids and we had the same results! I was almost embarrassed that I was more sore from video game boxing than I was from my last Cathe workout. Yikes!

I have played it, it came with my system. It's fun, but I'm never in the mood for it. I enjoy games that are more role-playing. I got Prince of Persia: Rival Swords and made it all the way to the final battle, but then got irritated because the battle was really hard and then I got bored. For the last couple of months, I've been played Zelda: Twilight Princess and this one is great. The puzzles can be very challenging, but the battles aren't ridiculous. It's a great way to relax...it's almost like reading a book, only more interacting and it doesn't make you sleepy.
