Wii addons: things you can buy for your pet wii

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

If you already have a wii system but want it to be more functional and fun, you probably need to buy some wii addons.
Things you can buy include specialty controllers, chargers, chords, skins, cleaning kits, fans, repair kits and wii covers. All of these you can find at this wii addon store.

If you are looking for a great addon controller, the wii fit balance board can’t be beat. It already is used in a lot of games such as wii fit and wii ski, but there are a bunch of new games being developed for this fun, new controller. This controller prevents joystick boredom and allows even young children and older non-gamers to quickly get in the action.

Another great wii specialty controller is the wii zapper. It allows you to play arcade style shooter games at home. It is great for war and hunting games and other games that involve a gun.

Used Wii Fit In Stock; get it for less

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Right now it is hard to find a wii fit for sale anywhere.  They are out of stock most places but you can still find wii fit in stock here.  If you don’t want to pay extra for a wii fit then you may want to consider buying a used wii fit.  A used wii fit will probably look and work as well as a new one since the game has not been out for long.

Wii fit is not only a good way to work out, it is also a good way to learn some yoga and to have fun playing games while exercising.  You can also use the wii fit board to play the wii ski game.  The wii ski game is also a fun way to get moving since you are trying to “ski” down a slalom slope with your character and will forget that you are doing something that is good for your health and balance at the same time.  That is the best type of exercise of all….both good for mind AND body.

I personally love tennis and find that I forget that I am exercising when I am playing it.  I look forward to getting a wii sports game  with the tennis wii sports controllers so I can play it on rainy days when I can’t afford to pay the $20 indoor tennis fee they have here in my town.  You can also buy these other wii games used if you don’t want to pay the new price.  I bought a whole set of old nintendo games for my daughter used when she was young and they worked just fine.

wii fit and BMI: upsetting some users

Monday, September 8th, 2008

When I first heard about wii fit using BMI as a measure of fitness, I felt sad that they were doing it.  I guess some people are getting MAD that they are using that measure:

This video talks about using a fat percent monitor instead.  BMI is innacurate for about 8% of the population, especially people with very small or very large bones and muscles (very lanky or very stocky).  That would probably be better although I have to warn that my fat monitor was off by 16% from a water dunk test I did at the hospital (I am tall and stocky), so for a small percentage of the population even the fat monitor is inacurate.

Wii Rock Band Is Current Number One Seller

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

The Retail Tracking service has discovered that, in June 2008, wii Rock Band game by MTV/EA was the number one seller.  Guitar Hero was the leader for a long time and wii’s guitar game is now taking over.  This may be due to the non-hardcore gamer nature of wii and the general appeal of the wii Rock Band Game.

Another leg up that Wii has over Xbox is the great controllers that can be purchased.  You can get a realistic guitar controller, like with Guitar Hero, but you can also get a pedal, microphone and drums to make it even more fun and rock star feeling.
The game itself goes for about $50 on Ebay but a Wii Rock Band bundle, including guitar controller, microphone, and drums, goes for $140.  I think this item will be hot for the upcoming gift giving season!  Party ON!

Buy Wii Rock Band Games and controllers for sale at low prices on Ebay.
