Wii Fit — Have fun WHILE you Exercise

If you read my blog regularly you know I am a HUGE Nintendo Fan. I was very excited for Wii Fit to come out and pre-ordered it. I have now been playing for almost 2 weeks and wanted to tell you JUST how incredible Wii Fit is.

For those who don’t know… Wii Fit is Nintendo’s new release for the Nintendo Wii that is basically an at home fitness trainer. It comes with an add on “Wii Balance Board” that you put in front of the television as you “work out”. The Board in itself is incredible and works with the idea of strengthening the core muscles through exercises to gain overall health. It can weigh you and when you put in your height — it will also tell you your BMI (Body Mass Index). By standing on the board it can also tell…

Nintendo World — A COOL Place and Magic Pen — an AWESOME free online Game

NINTENDO WORLD STORE A few weekends ago my family and I went to NYC which is where I grew up. My son is a die hard Pokemon fan and after exploring The Central Park Zoo we went to FAO Schwartz in hopes of finding him cool Pokemon Stuff (My mom loves to buy them treats when they come into the city since it is so rare). We were very surprised when FAO Schwartz (the end all-be all of toy stores) said they did not stock Pokemon stuff but their reasoning was “With the huge Toys R Us in Times Square having some of it and Nintendo World having such a HUGE selection — it just doesn’t make sense”. So we knew the next day would include a trip to Nintendo World in Rockefeller Center.
Wow! I don’t know who was more impressed, my…

Wii Game Reviews

Time to review the games we got for Christmas for the Nintendo Wii as well as a few of our favorites. I still am a HUGE fan of the Wii and honestly can’t imagine our home without it. We still play the original game that came with it more than any of the others, “Wii Sports” but there are a lot of other wonderful ones out there.

I mentioned Mario Party 8 in another post and this is still a GREAT one for the whole family. All 4 of us can play and have fun. I recommend this for ages 5 and up. Lots of great ways to play as an adventure, mini games or like a board game with mini games.

In the same feel as Mario Party 8 is Sonic and the Secret Rings which is good for 4 players as well. You can either play…

My Nintendo DS Tribute for Educational Games (Ages 8 - Adult)

My Nintendo DS Tribute for Educational Games (Ages 8 - Adult)

I have loved Nintendo and their quality kids and adult video games since they started. I am so pleased to see that they not only have stayed the most inexpensive hand-held and console game system available but the one with the HIGHEST QUALITY for family content and education. I resisted getting my son a hand-held gaming system for a few years after he started nagging me for one. I felt he had his computer and didn’t need another distraction. I worried that he would be constantly wanting to play and that the games would have no educational value. I started researching the hand-held systems a bit more last year and was happy to find out that Nintendo offered VERY educational games for all ages — sorry I EVER doubted you…
