My son got a Wii for his birthday and I'm sore as f*ck!!!

[backtoblue]

I threw my arm/side/wrist out bowling.

[Shell Beau]

1. I kick ass at the bowling! My high score is 270 something.

If you really want to be sore, try the boxing out! :o

[backtoblue]

2. I did the fitness test and it said I was 70 !!!

I'm not even thirty, so I must be either terribly uncoordinated or deathly out of shape! Are there any other games that you would recommend? They are expensive and I want to make sure I buy one that's fun.

[TZ]

5. I LOVE Guitar Hero.

Now that will make you sore as well...

[backtoblue]

6. I didn't know there was a guitar hero for Wii

I am definetely going to have to check into that one!!! I can already tell that me and my son are going to have lots of fun with this system! (if it doesn't kill me first...)

[Shell Beau]

7. Guitar Hero is fun.

Tiger Woods Golf, Wario Smooth Moves (makes you feel like an idiot but too fun), Paper Mario.... Let me think some more. We have tons of games.

4. Even Queen Elizabeth didn't do that when she copped Prince Harry's Wii.

QEII: I'd rather be playing Wii.

[backtoblue]

9. I'd play with Prince Harry's Wii...

10. I like the idea of Liz playin' Wii. And the image. nt

[carlyhippy]

12. i hurt my shoulder playing the baseball n/t

[backtoblue]

13. When I tried baseball, the bat kept going through my Mii's head.

I couldn't get it lined up right for some reason. (operator error is most likely) Pitching is fun, though.

[underpants]

14. Bowling injuries

usually consist of burn fingers in the hot nacho sauce

:bounce:

[Debi]

15. Time for Wii Fit!

That program will kick your ass. Like humans were designed to do this:

[backtoblue]

16. I think I might feel better about the whole virtual fitness thing if

the lady looked more "real". Add about 50 pounds, a spare tire, and a muffin top and I could relate!!! :puffpiece:

[old mark]

17. "Woman disabled by computer game...."

That's pretty funny, really....
My version of computer weight lifting: :argh:

[hibbing]

20. EA Sports Active

Hi,
I just got EA Sports Active for the Wii, that thing kicks my tush way worse than the Wii Fit or any other Wii Games. I have only had it a few days and am doing a 30 day challenge, it is pretty strenuous depending on the exercise. I hope you recover quickly.

Peace

31. With the fitness thing solved, who will pay for our doc visits for strains and sprains?

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - With the recession cutting out some family vacations, gym memberships, and personal trainers, a rash of new videogames designed to let people workout in their living room are hitting the shelves.

Electronic Arts has just released "EA Sports Active" for the Nintendo Wii which comes with a resistance band and a leg strap that lets players perform aerobic activities like virtual roller blading, jogging, or lunging.

"With today's economy, people can't always afford gym memberships and personal trainers," said Alison Sweeney, host of NBC's "Biggest Loser" reality TV series.

"EA calls this game a "trainer in a box" and it really is. The game teaches you the right way to work out."

The game has a built-in journal to track food intake and encourage an active lifestyle, including away from the Wii.

The trend of incorporating exercise into virtual entertainment will be showcased at next week's E3 Expo in Los Angeles, the largest videogame trade show in North America.

Sega has a new Wii game, "Daisy Fuentes Pilates" hosted by the former MTV personality, Namco Bandai has "Active Life: Extreme Challenge" for Wii, and Nintendo has "Wii Sports Resort."

Activision's "Tony Hawk: Ride" for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 adds physical play to the mix with a motion-sensor skateboard controller that translates gamers' physical moves into virtual tricks.

Exercise games have become an established genre for game publishers.

Konami Digital Entertainment introduced active games to the world with its "Dance Dance Revolution" game, which has sold over 11 million copies its 2001 launch.

Nintendo encouraged physical interaction with its Wii console and games like "Wii Sports" then took virtual exercise to another level last May with the "Wii Fit" which has sold over 14 million units worldwide, introducing gamers to yoga and mini-game workouts.

"Aside from the "Dance Dance Revolution" games, there have only been a handful of fitness games and, until the "Wii Fit" launched, none was particularly successful," said Michael Pachter, videogame analyst, Wedbush Morgan Securities.

He predicted strong sales for "EA Sports Active" and Sega's "Daisy Fuentes' Pilates."

Nintendo's Wii and "Wii Fit" have not only introduced more men to exercise but also paved a new avenue for female gamers.

"I've gotten e-mails from plenty of women who tell me that "Wii Fit" has helped them become more active, and it's clear that these women were not gamers to begin with," said Kristin Kalning, game editor and columnist, MSNBC.

21. Sorry. Again, can't respond until you have at least 1000 posts.

[backtoblue]

28. Oh, Midlo...

:cry:

:crazy:

[tigereye]

22. my husband hurt his knee doing the tennis - apparently this sort of thing

is pretty common.

[KitchenWitch]

23. I recommend MarioKart

and Wii Play

Wii Play comes bundled with an additional Wiimote, and has some cute games.

MarioKart is a blast.

We have Wii Fit and EA Sports Active. I have not done the EA one yet, Wii Fit gets me sweating.

[fight4my3sons]

25. I'll second this and add Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

My boys love Mario and Sonic games! Also if you have the Wii hooked up to the internet you can download Mario Kart 64 from the store and you will get tournaments sent to you. Mario Kart Double Dash for the Gamecube is also very good. Mario Kart is a popular game in our house. :)

[Shell Beau]

32. MarioKart is so much fun. The Olympics is hard!

The track and field whooped my butt. But the ping-pong is fun!!!!

[deoxyribonuclease]

24. You should try this game of the year contender!

27. Mario Galaxy

Hi,
Mario Galaxy is a fun one, it really uses the features of the remote well. It is a sedentary game though, so you will not work up a sweat.

Peace

[backtoblue]

30. That sounds like it could be a good recooperation game!

Mario Cart was fun on 64 , so that and Guitar Hero will probably be the next two on the list.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. I am so glad I found out you don't actually have to "assume the bowling

position". Now I just sit on the couch and flick my wrist.

I am a Wii nonconformist.

[cemaphonic]

33. heh, we just got one too, *and* the new version of Punch Out! for it.

My arms were (and still are a little) sore for days.
