  3. Wii is the best game you can get!!! There is now question!!!! I love to play on Wii Sports Resort, LEGO Indiana Jones and Mario Kart Wii.

  4. The Nintendo 64 is the best system ever made. What makes it so good is its library of games(The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, etc.). It’s also the system that introduced true 3-D gaming.
