Answer 1

good points:

virtual console games for download

internet enabled

small size

wireless controller

bad points

controller has horrible battery life (drains even when off and lasts for 5 days)

quality is pretty bad compared to past nintendo consoles

(disk read errors) (durability)

less hard core games and more family oriented games

Answer 2

The good points are exhausting, its an amazing system with very interesting games that reach all users. It gets you up and off the couch (which is a plus if you get bored of games that give you butt and neck cramps from sitting down).

The games are GREAT. Wii Fit is probably the only game I can play every day without getting extremely bored, I love it.

The only bad of it is the battery needs kill you. But you can get rechargeable for your wii-motes and its fine. They are relatively inexpensive.  

Answer 3

Get a battery pack for about 10 quid (charges via USB)

Key to WII Fit - play it at least a few times a week - keep it up.

Answer 4

Ditto everything Patient Paws said.

It's so much fun I'm beside myself.  The Wii is plenty of fun when I just need to entertain myself, but it's also become a focal point in my exercise and social lives.  I used to get people over through grand (read: expensive) parties and activities.  Now I can have three people over whenever I choose just by saying, "Hey, we're playing (boom blox/mario kart/raving rabbids/wario ware) tonight, care to join us?

The downsides are minor.  It's a battery hog and has very low system memory for downloadable games.  It tends to sap my wallet because there are too many good games out.  If you're a big Halo fan, you know which system is for you.  Ditto if you like to think you have "the best" in computing power and graphics without dropping a grand or two on a gaming PC.  For a louder, wackier brand of fun the wii is IT.

For me, the really bad points are that spore and civilization revolution have been canceled for wii.  *sigh*  I was looking forward to those!

More games like Wii Fit are coming.  You can play DDR on any system and that's a good aerobic workout, but the casual exercise games market has only just begun!

Answer 5

I've had mine for a year and enjoy everything about it.  It makes you move around and get really involved in the games you're playing.
