Wii Console with Mario Kart Wii Bundle - White

I'm a little late on the Wii bandwagon, but this system is incredible fun. In my opinion, it is much more entertaining than the XBOX 360 Kinect. Notably, it works equally as well in a small space, while the Kinect requires more moving room, and is perfect for small living rooms and apartments, like mine, which was the final factor that sold me on purchasing it. MarioKart was a fantastic game on N64 and I was a little wary of how it would translate over to the Wii. I shouldn't have had any concerns though, because this version is a blast and can be played with or without the included steering wheel with intuitive ease. I particularly like that you can connect to other players online (wireless or wired) without having to purchase a similar product to XBOX Live. There are Nintendo Points that you can purchase to buy other special add-ons, old Nintendo games, and Channels, but with so many freebies there really isn't a need for it, at least not when you first open the box and start playing a new game on a new system. I would have liked it if the bundle included the original Wii Sports/Resort games instead (or better yet, the newly combined game version), but the steering wheel sweetens the deal. The system arrived in a big box that was shipped and delivered quickly, but was in slightly dented condition. The console was in perfect shape though and the inclusive accessories and batteries were a bonus. I would still recommend ordering it from Amazon because of the excellent condition and past customer service experiences. Overall, Nintendo did a wonderful job in designing an innovative, addictive system that was easy to set-up, has neat features for a long-time gaming family, and an appealing design.

I'm a Sony Fan Boy to the core. ( Nintendo Fan boys if you can not accept this stop reading this review). I have been playing my ps3 about 2 years now. Playing a lot of excellent games. But even a Sony's Hardcore like me, feels nostalgia about games like Zelda and Mario. Then I decided to buy a wii, when I saw the wii got a Prince drop and 30 dolar bonus , I couldnt resist the offer and I bought inmediately. The wii , in terms of hardware, is way inferior in comparison to the ps3 or 360. The wii only support up to 480p, meanwhile the 2 other system can go to HD, 1080p (how freaking amazing would have been Link or Mario in Hd!). Also it doesnt have strong online services and this is where the wii fails in the competition. To connect your wii, it must be wireless, if you want to connect you DSL cable, you need to buy another accesory , a minor problem , but for me that is annoying. Ok now that I have pointed out some little problems of the wii , let move on to where wii shines... Games !!! , Wii have seriously some of the most fun games ever made!. The ps3 have a lot of excelletn games, but if you realize most of these games are the same genre: shooting. While the wii have a lot of variety. Though the wii doesnt have the breathtaking graphics of the ps3 or 360, the game play is just excellent. I must admit the wii it is just as fun as my ps3. Super mario Galaxy 1 and 2, twilight Princesss , are just extremely amazing. Twilight Princess just top as one of my favorite game of all time. These types of game are the one that makes gamers to say: this how a game should be, exploring and having fun. Not like thos FPS online games that have made us into their slaves ( Im one of them , Damn you Modern warfare 2 for stealing my time). After playing enought alone, I bought 3 more controllers and played with my friends... just amazing ! Playin smash brawl and mario party, just makes us remember those time when the n64 was alive, playng against each other and laughing a lot. Those moments are just priceless and the wii brings it back to you. =D If you want some good games for the wii I can recommend some ( maybe our taste are different but you should at least give it a try) : Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galxy 2 Zelda: Twilight Princess Okami Metroid 3 Corruption Super Smash Brawl Mario Kart Mario Party Super Mario Bros wii Murasama and Many more... Ps: The Black wii just looks Sexy ! Thanks For reading ... =D

As of today 8/1/11 this product has been a very bad experience. I purchased this unit in May of this year. Around the middle of July all remotes lost sync with the main unit. I contacted Nintendo for corrective action. Nintendo ran me through some test to see if it can be corrected before sending it back. The test are listed on their web site. I informed them that I had already performed those test, more that once. They did not believe me and I ran through the test again. They then emailed me a FedEx return slip with RMA. Quick turn around. At first I thought it was to quick. Turns out I was right. Nintendo took my new unit, scratch free, sent me a used unit, scratches included. The new used unit worked once. Next day it was doing the same as my new unit. Again, I contacted Nintendo, and again they made me go through same test, that I again told them I had performed. When I informed him that this unit is clearly not functioning properly, he responded by notifying me that Nintendo would not send me back my unit without first ensuring that it was properly repaired. Interesting statement since they did not send me my original unit. When I questioned them about my original unit, the response was "to expensive to fix..cheaper to send another unit." The Nintendo representative than began telling me how they were going to do me a favor by providing me with another shipping label to send this faulty unit back for repair and how much they were willing to due all this for free. They than implied that normally this would cost me to have this used replacement fixed. When I get the unit back, another used unit no doubt, and it fails again, Sony Play Station here I come.

I've owned my Mario Kart Bundle Wii for about a year now and it has been and still does, continue to be an awesome experience. This was the pinnacle of Nintendo service. There never has been and never again will be a better deal for the Wii. Good thing this was my first Wii purchase lol. The Super Mario Bros Bundle (Black) came close, too bad it couldn't play GameCube discs. This is the newest Wii able to play GameCube discs and comes with a Wii wheel and Mario Kart, you CAN'T beat that, not for the price. When I bought mines it costed me about $149. I see the price is rising, and not available for Prime anymore. It's a shame. The system works great, feels sturdy (even though it doesn't at first, it does when you get used to it). I had a blast opening up my Wii and instantly going online and racing others around the world in my favourite kart game of all time. If you're ever going to buy a Wii, be sure to get THIS bundle. If you want a fully hackable one, be sure to get the 2006 white Wii. Don't confuse it with the 2010 White version that fixed the exploit in boot2. If you don't support hacking however, this is the way to go. It's a bargain.

The motion thing is super sensitive. It works great. I love it. If only it played dvds or movies off a jump drive. But Hey It's for games I have a player for dvds. I tried getting the net and I was not impressed by that. But as far as playing games on it, it is a great little system. I got the black one and I love it. I like how small it is. Does not take up too much space and it looks good sitting where I have it among my pretty things under my tv. Can't wait to get my Zelda game to play on it. (Zelda is why I bought the system to begin with, LOL) I got Mario cart, Super fun, and Wii Fit also fun. But I LOVE me some ZELDA!

It might not be a 360 or PS3 in terms of graphics, but the Wii has a place in a gamers collection. I wondered why I didn't get one sooner. I wanted this particular model (RVL-001) for backwards compatibility with GameCube games. The newer models (RVL-101, RVL-201) are not GameCube compatible. Moreover, some earlier Wii titles that need GameCube accessories will not work either. You can go to Nintendo's site for more details. The seller I got this unit from had Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Zelda Skyward Sword. I have so far enjoyed all of these titles. Not sure yet what games I want to get next. I am sure they are deals on them now as the next generation consoles are being released. I am also interested in Virtual Console games. The controls are new to me and it is taking time to get use too. The motion of the controllers add another dimension of game play. Wii sports can really get the heart pumping. The only issue I have is that the Wii's internal memory is small. I am not sure on the exact size without looking at the specs because Wii's software measures the memory in what is called Blocks. If you have a lot apps on your Wii, they will not be much space for downloaded games and game saves. You will need a SD card. Fortunately, they are quire affordable these days. If your Wii Menu is below version 4.0, then only SD with 2 GB capacity is supported. With 4.0 and higher, SDHCs up to 32 GB are supported, but from what I seen on the forums, most people don't even fill up their 8 or 16 GB cards. You can save some money there. I currently have a 2 GB for game saves.

The unit I received came with everything but the original box and looked like it had never been used. Even the backing on the sticky pads that hold the sensor bar was untouched and ready for first use. The manual was still in it's packaging. Wii is a fun platform for casual and retro gaming. There are some things you may want to consider though even if you aren't new to the Wii. *All Wii channels have now been discontinued, you won't be able to connect games to online content. If this is important to you then you need the Wii U instead. *The only Wi-Fi connections that haven't been disabled are the internet browser and the Wii automatic updates. Disabled content includes Wii Fit communities and Mii contests as well as all streaming and game downloads. *The majority of games do not need internet to work at all so if you just want to play games then you'll be fine with the original Wii. *Nintendo isn't making new games for the Wii but there are tons of NIB, Used and Restored games available on Amazon. You might want to take a look and make sure the games you want are playable/available for the Wii. *Finally, there are US and World versions of games, this one works with US versions and hasn't been able to read world versions so keep that in mind.

Purchase a Mario Cart Wii bundle for my son birthday. Even paid overnight shipping. Game won't load. Amazon is giving me the run around and the guy who messages me back has told me "if I return the game" which according to Amazon isn't possible, I cannot get a new one. So broken Game for a working console for my sons birthday. And it doesn't look like I'll be compensated. This is 5am before his birthday. I now have to show up to the game stops around me all morning before I rush to set up my sons birthday, to get ANY game that will work. DO NOT BUY FROM SELLER.

Hola Instalamos todo, pilas y conectado todo bien pero a la hora de mover el menú para cambiar el idioma, no se mueve nada Alguien que sepa y quiera ayudarnos Primera vez que compramos esto

The product works great and is in great condition! All the accessories were there, in good condition and the game as well. Happy to have a Wii and this game, as it’s nostalgic for me because I grew up with a wii :)

Remote for Wii doesnt work. Just got my hdmi adapter so was excited to use my Wii. Remote won't work. Looks like battery leaked on terminals. No way to contact sender for replacement. Be wary of purchase

Primero me queria cobrar gastos de envio y gastos de exportacion cuando a mi me aparecia en la publicacion que era el envio gratis, aunado a esto me mando el producto incompleto con falta de muchas piezas, yo no lo recomiendo en lo absoluto

console itself is perfect. extremely loud but that’s part of the wii trying to run lol! the remote is in very poor condition but it still works so for that, 4 stars. game disc works properly and was in great condition. wii wheel also in great condition. recommend to any other buyers to purchase an extra wii remote as it took probably 5 minutes for the remote to connect to the console. wii’s typically take a while for a remote to connect but it was a little long of a wait. nunchuck not much to say on it, works as expected. not in perfect condition but again it works. so glad to own a wii again! thank you to the seller.
