Its a wii
wii all the way
I have a Wii and I am telling all of you Boys’ Life fans that it rocks! It has awesome graphics, there is a wide variety of games, and it feels like you are really in the game. The Nintendo Wi-Fi connection helps you play with other Wii owners all around the world! You can even use GameCube games in it. You just slip the game in, plug a GameCube controller in the top of the Wii, and you’re all set to go! I highly recommend this system. I rate it ***** (5 stars!) (Sorry, I know nothing about PSP, DS, XBOX 360, or PS3. I am too busy with Wii!)
My wii is awsome and so is my ds light
I HATE THE 360
The next system by Nintendo after the Wii will be called the Condome
a wii becase you don’t have to plug it in
I want a wii! really, its better than a DS lite.(which I have)
I Like the Wii!!
I wish I had a wii, but I do have a GAMEBOY MICRO!!!!!!!!!
