A friend of mine got one this week. He also bought a 360 a week or so ago. 8 of us went out to dinner, had some drinks, and went back to his house. I took some 360 games and controllers over there just in case people wanted to play some 360.........but.........
we spent the next 6 hours (after dinner) playing Wii Sports. We only had one wiimote and nunchuk so we rotated. It was a blast!!!!! I am terrible at bowling but very good at golf and tennis :)

Typically we play darts or cards or something when we all get together....and a few people will sit out and get bored. Everyone got involved in Wii Sports and when people were sitting out they were immersed in watching those playing. I'll definitely be picking one up when I can find it.

Wow! 8 of you and one 1 with the controller, that's the power of the Wii. Tennis is awesome with 4 people, and I'd imagine 2 people boxing would be intense. I haven't tried that yet cause we can't find another Nunchuck.

Two player boxing is a lot of fun. Brought my Wiimote to a friend's house the other night and we played a couple games of it. It seems to wear me out the most out of any of the Wii Sports games though.

As far as finding another Nunchuck, I have one but can't find a Wiimote! Gonna be calling any store in the area that sells them this week to try and track one down.

Yeah, don't get too close or you'll get clocked in the face by a stray Wiimote.

I'm good at bowling and tennis, but not that good at baseball...YET! We have a 360 but it needs to be fixed (Microsuck). The Wii is a lot of fun...the more the merrier.

I was terrible at bowling. 73 was the highest I scored I think. One of my friends rolled a 250-something!!!!!!!!

I think I liked golf the most. We stayed away from boxing d/t only one controller....but it seemed as though it could be fun with 2....as could baseball.

You have no idea. They went away for a weekend last week and me and my brothers hooked it up and were playing with it. Had to box the bastard back up before they came home...

this is killin me. It's probably for the better though, since exams are this week.

I got to pro level on bowling, with my highest score being 215. :\
The only thing that happens is you get diamond designs in your ball.


..Well I don't really know what I expected anyway. :P
My girlfriend is close to pro in boxing, 650 or 700 I think.

I was able to pick up a Wii today as well. Soooo much fun! It definitely lives up to the hype.

Zelda is great, played it for about three hours, but I definitely had more fun with Wii Sports. Of course that's mainly because my wife and I could both play. She slaughtered me in bowling. ;)
