Wii G-pak Console Organizer Case

Wii G-pak Console Organizer Case << more detail ::

By Jose Ibanez "woofboo" (Eatontown, NJ) - reviews

I have G-Paks for my PS2, Gamecube and Xbox, and as such, wouldn't even consider purchasing another carry case for my Wii. Naki has really made sure that these cases hold and protect your console, games and accessories while still making it easy and convenient to play, and the Wii G-Pak is no different in that regard.

The Wii sits on a raised shelf in the main compartment of the case and is held in place by a fancy-looking leather strap. This holds the Wii securely while allowing access to the front where you load games, the back where you plug in the cables, the top where you plug in Gamecube controllers and memory cards, and has openings for the ventilation fans. Like all G-Paks, you can play games right out of the case without removing the console. There is a cavernous compartment for all your controllers, the AC Adapter, cables and a couple mesh elastic pockets for smaller accessories. It can hold lots of games, and I especially like how the DVD sleeve can actually be removed and folded over to look like a car visor cd sleeve.

While there's room for everything imaginable, most of your accessories just sit loose in the huge pocket below the Wii. I would have preferred if there were specialized pockets for the remotes, as any button presses while the console isn't on would still use up the batteries. Also, there are no specific pockets for Gamecube games, discs or controllers, or even a place to put SD cards for use with the Wii.

Taking all this into account, though, this is still the best way to travel with your Wii, and is an easy recommendation to make.

Active Life: Extreme Challenge Bundle with Mat <<< more detail :::

By N. Scammacca (Austin, tx United States) - reviews

I pre-ordered Extreme Challenge because I liked Outdoor Challenge so much. Seems like the creative minds who worked on Outdoor Challenge were out of ideas for this one. The games are pretty similar to each other and involve a few basic actions: jumping on the mat, stepping on mat buttons to do tricks, or sitting on the mat and pressing buttons. The mat itself is an annoying peripheral since you have to find a place to store it when not in use. I don't get why they didn't just make the game Balance Board compatible so we could have one less Wii thing to keep around. Exercise-wise, if you like jumping a lot and have good knees, you might be able to get a workout. Again, Outdoor Challenge is better here--more variety and not so hard on the knees.

Just Dance << more detail :::

By Sintillator (Flagstaff, AZ) - reviews

Bought this game for the kids based on the commercial showing all the activity and the songs. Told my wife we had to try it out first and she balked because it was late, after the kids were in bed. I nagged she gave in I lasted 3 songs she danced every song until 2 in the morning. She had so much fun the game never made it under the Xmas tree. The next day the whole family had a blast. That night friends came over and danced for 3 hours. I'm taking it to the company Xmas party.

Pros - It's fun, fun, fun. The best family or group game since Wii Sport Bowling. It doesn't take a huge amount of skill or even rhythm. It's for the very young, anyone who can get up and boogie or simply the young at heart. If you try to play the game as intended you will get one heck of a total aerobic workout especially the smile muscles.

Cons - Primarily it's just that there is only 30 songs and surprisingly it's not enough, the developers should or had to have known they needed more (so that's the 1 star deduction.) It isn't for hard core gamers who are driven to be able to conquer a stage, solve a puzzle, revel in a high score or master a total game. They simply won't get it at all. The scoring is not spot on for the competition minded. I imagine if you wanted to cheat and just move the wiimote you could bypass the fun all together. May be to much exercise for those with physical impairments.

Nintendo Wii Video Game System HD Ready 4 Player Wii Fit Bundle <<< more detail ::

Featuring a remarkable wireless controller and experience, the Nintendo Wii console invites players into game worlds and activities like never before. Whether they're young or old, expert gamers or beginners, Wii players will express themselves with intuitive motion control using the Wii Remote: a flick of the wrist to swing a baseball bat or tennis racket, a backswing and follow-through to send a golf ball flying over a pristine fairway. Wii Sports, packaged with the Wii console, introduces players to those and many other experiences. Wii also taps into Nintendo's unrivaled legacy of great games with the Virtual Console. Connecting via wireless broadband to Nintendo wi-fi Connection, Wii owners will be able to spend Virtual Console points to download selected classic games from NES, Super NES and N64 video game consoles. And through Wii Connect24, owners will be able to access even more content. Four-player compatibility as well as the ability to compete with other Wii players over broadband Internet means that Wii offers a true social experience. The sleek Wii console, no larger than a stack of several DVD cases, includes Wii Sports, a sensor bar, an AV cable, an AC adapter, a Wii stand, a Wii Remote, and a Nunchuck controller for even more exciting game-control possibilities.

Playseats Limited Edition Forza 3 Evolution Racing Seat <<< more detail ::

By K. Lai - reviews

This is a well-made seat; Robust frame and hight quality leather seat with gorgeous Forza 3 art works. It looks very beautiful. The seat is supportive and comfortable. I have Xbox 360 wireless wheel and pedal. Both can be mounted firmly. I don't even need to use the provided velcro. Tips: You can mount the pedal support panel off center to the right, so the center post won't get in the way if you use your right foot to apply brake. Also you can enclose the bottom part of the xbox 360 pedal inside the foot rest piece, this way the pedal won't move around. I like this seat very much. I am planning to buy two gear shift mounts see if I can mount my Ace Combat 6 Joystick and throttle on both sides of the seat. This way I can have all my xbox 360 gears in one place.
