My in laws got us the wii and I didn’t want to get it but I do have to admit that it is really very fun to play with. I just didn’t want it because I remember video games and they really do take up so much of your time when you can be doing something else. But if you just play on those rainy days or have people come over for that wii party then it is fun. But you need to get the wii accessories…like the wheels for mariocart…so fun.
