Nintendo Wii Family Bundle
So you decided to splurge this year and buy a gift the entire family can enjoy – the Nintendo Wii Console gaming system! With something for everyone, this latest generation of video gaming introduced by Nintendo in November of 2006 enjoys rabid popularity among everyone from the very young to the elderly.
You’ll notice as you begin to research the extensive line of Wii console products and accessories, that the games can be purchased in “bundles”, which consist of the Wii console, one standard Wii wireless controller, Wii Sports (standard game with every Wii purchase, no matter which bundle you select), the Wii game that is specialized to the bundle you selected and a specialized remote for enhanced gameplay with that video game.
The Wii Family Bundle is a great way to start your family off with this elaborate gaming system. Extremely versatile in game play, this bundle incorporates everything you need to entice every member of your family into discovering the world of Wii. For a price ranging from $385 to $500, as the system sells out closer to the holidays, the Wii Family Bundle includes:
Nintendo Wii Console, Wii Sports (tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing), one Wii Remote with Jacket, Wii Nunchuck , Tiger Woods 08 PGA Tour game, Mario Strikers: Charged game, MySims game, a Wii Sensor Bar, the AV Cable and a power cord.
The Wii Sports games, included in the Wii Family Bundle, are played using the standard Wii remote and are really enjoyable for everyone in the family – including the elderly members who seem to love the bowling!
The Tiger Woods 08 PGA Tour game, included in the Wii Family Bundle, can be played in several ways: if you want to stand while you play, you press B and then swing the remote like a golf club; if you prefer sitting down, you press B as you flick the remote in any direction; or, again sitting down, you can use the analog stick on the Nunchuk to swing.
The Mario Strikers: Charged game, included in the Wii Family Bundle, is a multiplayer game that can also be played online. Using the standard controller, this typically Mario-crazy game is a face paced blast for the whole family.
Considering the cost of the individual games, at about $30 each, the Wii Family Bundle price is a really good deal. And when considering the varying range of types of games involved, there is sure to be something there for every member of the family.
