Wii remote review
The whole family (even Grandma) gives initial thoughts from the family about the Wii remote:
Harry (age 13)-
- “It’s really light and like a small DVD remote – it’s great!”
- “It’s small, and fits in your hand.”
- “It’s really simple to use the buttons.”
Epiphany (age 10) -
- “At first it’s a little hard to control, but in less than 5 minutes you can really get good with it.”
- “This is probably the coolest Nintendo thing ever.”
- “Straps are required. If you don’t wear the wrist strap, it could fly off and hit the TV or the wall”
- “It’s cool how it makes noises when you do stuff.”
- “I really like having the B button on the botton, instead of on the top.”
George (age 7) -
- “It’s really cool. It’s really easy. You barely notice that it’s wrapped around your wrist. You can move it really fast”
Mom (age 36) -
- The sleeves will be a good idea – no fighting over who’s remote is who and if one is lost we’ll know who lost it.
- Definitely – wear your wrist strap.
- Make sure you have room to move around in the living room. It’s hard not to really move and get into the sports games.
Dad (age 36) -
- It’s really good in the right or left hand.
- It’s good for any size of hand.
- I was expecting more weight out of it, but it’s really light. The batteries add weight on the bottom and I myself would like a little more balance in the weight.
- In the Bowling game, you can get alot of precision with the spin and speed of the ball of the remote.
Grandma (age 66) -
- With one hand, it was fairly easy to use. (Grandma had a stroke a while back and can only use her left hand.)
- “I really liked how easy it was to use and type, especially when you personalize your Mii.”
These impressions do not include the nunchuck, since we have been Bowling and playing Tennis all day. [And for those that are keeping track, the kitten is sleeping in the other room and is quite content.]
