Are Wii The Children of the Future?

We have all played a video game at least once when we were younger. It has revolutionized the way we play video games. Some people really enjoyed playing games others didn’t. But as the years went on video games have changed for the better. A few new generations have been introduced to the, “Nintendo Wii”. I think that there are advantages and disadvantages to the new Nintendo Wii.

The first Nintendo that was introduced looked like a bulky box with two playing controls attached to it by cords. It was pretty big and bulky, but still a lot of fun for some people. But others didn’t like it they thought it was a hassle to put together. But every couple of years Nintendo has successfully changed for the better. New changes, for example; size, colour, new games, and plenty of new features have helped Nintendo companies successfully sell their product.

A few new group of generations have been introduced to the Nintendo Wii. In the past mainly only young children would play Nintendo. But now young children, teenagers, adults and even seniors play Nintendo Wii. Seniors are stereotyped as only playing chess and having tea time. But now that has been changed thanks to the Nintendo Wii.

There are still a few advantages and disadvantages to the Nintendo Wii. One advantage is that now parents and grandparents can easily bond with their children and grandchildren. Another advantage is that now its hassle fee, easy to start, and very fun to play with, a lot better than the first Nintendo. You don’t have to worry about simple things anymore , for example if the cord is to short . But there are still disadvantages like, people can easily become obese because since the remote is cordless you can be sitting down while you play. Since people enjoy playing so much, people actually stay inside and literally play all day and get no exercise. It can lead to serious health problems. Another disadvantage is that the price of the Nintendo Wii is pretty high. The Nintendo Wii is approximately $400.00. Not everybody has that kind of money. Money doesn’t grow overnight on trees.

Overall Wii are the children of the future. Many young people enjoy playing Nintendo Wii. Teenagers these days have many new ideas, they will grow up to only make technology like the Nintendo even better. Personally I had the chance to play Nintendo Wii , I really enjoyed playing. It was enjoyable, simple, and quick to set up. I would play again if I had the chance.
