The Miis
The first thing you do is to create a profile, to specify where to log all your activities, called the Mii. It serves as your Wii self, basically you in 3D likeness. And while making them can take a while, the end result is usually a hoot. Here are a some of the Miis I made, you tell me if they give justice to their real-life counterparts.
The MEL Mii -hair's a little off, but otherwise a good resemblance.
The PAPA Mii -not bad, could be better, but it's close enough.
The MAMA Mii -SPOT ON! It looks so much like her, it's scary.
The BIM Mii -I'd say this is pretty darn close.
The JANINE Mii -I didn't make this one, her sister Jamie did, but it's too cute to not share.
The Games
Of course, what would a gaming console be for if not for the games? Although mine came with a few games when I got it, I've collected four additional games for it within a week, namely:
- Super Mario Galaxy -a gift from the awesome Bim
- Resident Evil -because of glowing reviews from everywhere in the interwebs and IRL
- Super Smash Bros Brawl -ranked 4th in the Wii All-time Best game rankings, and
- Wii Play -bought at a great bargain, a better Wii Sports with decent ranking
So far, of all my games, the Wii Fit has been the most fun. It extends the Wii to something more than just a hand game by making you get up on your feet and move. It's also a good way to keep a less sedentary lifestyle, and it provides the entire family with a lot of laughs too (chunky dad attempting to do a yoga pose is a precious sight to see).

In too many words, what I was just saying is that the Wii is a boatload of fun!
