The Wii (ウィー ?)

Wikipedia: The Wii (ウィー ?) (pronounced as the English pronoun we, IPA: /wiː/) is a home video game console released by Nintendo.

All I know is that Wii (ウィー ?) is a lot of fun!

A little reluctant to make such a large purchase, I finally gave in at Christmas and let this be "our" one present. Wii (ha-ha) started with Game Party (darts, hoop shoot, shuffleboard, skill ball, table hockey) and graduated to Carnival MiniGolf, Endless Ocean and the ultimate challenge, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. Hubby was pumped for this one, and probably invisioned his skills to equal Tiger's successful return after knee surgery.

We didn't even make it to Tiger before discovering the ultimate challenge...trying to get our Wii remotes to work! I'm sure if a 16-year-old, or even an 8-year-old had been here, we would've been playing in a matter of seconds. Took us about an hour to hit the first shot off the # 1 tee at LaQuinta.

Another challenge was keeping from spraining our wrists with the remotes or throwing them through the TV screen on the follow-through! As we learned, Wii injuries/accidents are pretty common. (See Utube video below)

Had any mishaps? Broken TV's, wrist or head injuries. Share!
