The Wii is by far the best game system ever. My brother and I saved up our mony to buy one. So far we have Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, M&M's Kart Racing (Big Letdown), and Guitar Hero World Tour. We love our Wii and love the way it gets people off their feet and interactin with the game. I just wanted to tell you that M&M's Kart Racing is a disaster.If you don't own a Wii, get one. You'll be glad you did.
