We haven't had a Game System before....
because I felt our family would be couch potatoes and fight over the system. We actually got the Wii last weekend as a whim.
But now that we got it home -- I love it! I'm 45 years old and have two daughters at home, 6 and 9. We are logging about 2-4 hours a day -- as a family! We bowl and play baseball (we only have one wiimote, so we take turns batting around) and after the kids go to bed, my husband and I play a couple of rounds of 3-hole golf. With the training games and the fitness testing, there's even more to do than just the standard 5 games on Wii Sports.
Also my girls are having fun making the Miis and looking at the Miis that come visiting. Some of the people creating Miis are so creative! We have one that looks like Michael Jackson and one that looks like Ringo Starr.
I can hardly wait until online play. But tell your mom that Nintendo has gotten the kids (and parents!) off the couch. Although my husband says the girls just play because they like beating us! Good luck!
