It's beeee-you-ti-full!!!!.....*L*....it's pretty cool, I like it....I got a few games for it, mostly some sports stuff and a couple of shoot-em up titles....my favorite so far is the billiards game....especially on a tv as big as mine, it's almost realistic....anyway, good luck in finding one, my nephew asked me for one and I still yet to find it (been about 4 months since he asked me)....anyway, have you looked online? You could probably find it on Ebay but good luck with the cost.....have a good one...

BOUGHT IT A few weeks ago and now argue with kids as to who gets to play it
a little addicting, we like the golf and bowling on the sports disc
of course got the ravin rabbits - that is a work out, we have to run and jump and fly ... had to stop playing for two days to let my forearms feel better...
if you get one - it will be loads of fun plus competing is easy too!!!!

E3 Day Two: Nintendo
Nintendo unveils Wii Balance Board, zapper, wheel; dates 2007 lineup

This morning's Nintendo press conference in Santa Monica, CA served to underline what we all knew about the Wii: it's setting its sights firmly on expanding the appeal of video games to older people and women, and it's lining up a portfolio of cool new toys to help it achieve just that. Chief among them, and unveiled today by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, is a novel Balance Board controller together with a purpose-designed fitness game that aim to help Wii owners lose weight.

Nintendo's Balance Board, a slim, wireless white pad that looks more like a set of bathroom scales than a conventional videogame controller, does more than just measure your weight (although it does that, too). It can detect the exact position of your body's center of gravity, and measure how it shifts as you move your limbs or lean.

How's that going to help you shed the pounds? Wii Fit, a new Nintendo title that'll ship with the Balance Board, tracks your body mass index over time, and offers over 40 minigames that look guaranteed to get you sweating. Fils-Aime showed the Balance Board being used for yoga, step aerobics, balance training, and raw strength exercises like push-ups. No release date was mentioned, but it's sure to sell like hotcakes -- and you though the Wii was hard to find right now.

Fils-Aime also showed off a brace of Wii remote attachments that'll be bundled into games releasing later this year. One, the Wii Zapper, turns your Wii remote and nunchuk into a lightgun-like controller, and will release with zombie shooter Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles - while the other, a small plastic wheel, will launch along with Mario Kart Wii.

Hang on, what was that? Yes, in a move sure to put smiles on the faces of longtime Nintendo fans, the Mario Kart series is coming to the Wii. Only shown in video form, it's scheduled to release in the first quarter of next year, but will include online play with an as-yet undisclosed (but presumably large) number of simultaneous players. "This is not your father's Mario Kart," Fils-Aime said.

In another move that'll please Wii owners looking for a deeper online experience, Nintendo announced the Wii version of Medal of Honor will include an online mode supporting up to 32 players. It'll support the newly-announced Wii Zapper, too.
