Jonnell bought a Nintendo Wii last week. She got the Wii Fit as well. For a number of reasons we didn't get it set up until Monday, so I haven't messed with it too much, but I am amazed by the Wii Fit.
It really does make exercise fun. It pesters you to work out and gets on your case if you don't improve. The balance games are also a lot of fun, too. I can't believe how well the balance board works. It knows were your center of gravity is. This is used in most of the exercises, for example, your score in the yoga training is based on how well you stay balanced during the poses.
I got Mario Kart, but I haven't played it much yet either. Jonnell seems to really like it, she spent 2 hours this afternoon playing it. I can't wait to play it online.
Not sure what other games to get for it.
Repeat after me...Guitar Hero.
Wii Play is a good investment. You get a Wiimote and a collection of minigames.
Mario Galaxy is fun.

Im picking up a Wii for the kids for Xmas. Got the Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Mario Cart, Wii Music and some other stuff.
I may have to get the Wii Fit, too.
I cant wait to play it with the kids. I sure hope it lives up to the hype.
