The console works well so far and is in good shape, but it is a Wii Family Edition (RVL-101) rather than the pictured original-style Wii (RVL-001), which I wanted for GameCube compatibility. Not a total dealbreaker, but I would have gone with a cheaper listing if I had known it was just a family edition. The Wii Remote also had leaky batteries when it arrived, which was another annoyance.

I’ve tried on 3 different higher end TV’s and it only plays in terrible quality (super grainy) black and white. I’ve tried everything it says online to fix it and nothing works. Absolute trash, would never buy again or recommend!! One of the controllers has battery acid inside it and wreaks of cigarette smoke and the eject button is very difficult to press. So frustrated with this piece of s#*t I’m considering just throwing it out of my window just so I don’t have to look at it anymore. Worst $50 I’ve ever spent I would have rather used my money to start a campfire, at least a campfire has more than 2 colors.

The Wii might not have the biggest library of games for those into gritty, mature, "hardcore" games, and many of these "gamers" will find themselves dissatisfied with the available titles. The truth is however that the Wii caters to exactly who it wants to: Long time fans of Nintendo. Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, etc. Franchises that have been with Nintendo for a long time have great games available on this system, and for devoted fans of those franchises, the Wii is more than worth the money. Also yes, it is good for kids and "casuals," but that is by no means a bad thing. The average household will get more use/enjoyment out of a Wii with a decent enough stockpile of games than one would from the other systems where games are generally targeted towards a mature audience. The fact that you can stream Netflix and Hulu is also nice, but of course you can do that from almost anything nowadays. That said the Wii is cheaper than most of those alternatives, gaming systems in particular, so it isn't a bad choice for that either.Read full review
I am 67 years old, And I haven’t been getting enough exercise. I had a Nintendo Wii about 14 years ago and it was a lot of fun. My wife took it away for me and I don’t know what happened to it. So now 14 years later we are dealing with Covid. I am vaccinated and boostered. But I am still playing it safe by really not going anywhere except to the grocery store on Wednesdays. And I decided that the Nintendo Wii would be a great way for me to get some good exercise, have fun playing sports games without having to leave my apartment. So I bought this used WII and it works absolutely perfectly. And it came with Wii sports resort And I ordered Tiger Woods golf And we sports from another seller on eBay. I have played all three games and they work perfectly. I could not be happier. One other thing I purchased that I would strongly recommend for anybody buying a Nintendo Wii to play on a modern TV is a Wii to HDMI adapter. Component cables and composite cables are thing of the past. The adapter only cost about $10 and mine came with a 5 foot HDMI cable also. It works perfectly on my one year old TV. I bought the adapter from Amazon.Read full review

This is a great system. The only thing that bothered me were the list of games. There weren't many that I looked forward to. So far I've played these awesome games: -Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess -Metroid Prime Corruption -Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition -Super Smash Bros. Brawl (works with gamecube controllers) -Metroid Other M There are probably a few others but so far those games were great. Not a fan of the wii remote but it works great so I can't complain. It's more of a family/friend system than a single person system, but still a great system overall.
