Where do I begin?....
As you will see, I know absolutely nothing about Wii.
I’m in my early 50's and in lousy physical shape and want something to help get me moving around, and am thinking that Wii Sports might be just the thing for me.
I’m trying to figure out what I need to buy to get started. I don’t want to buy something and then find out it’s worthless unless I buy a bunch of other stuff to go with it. And I hate buying something just to find out that I should have bought something else, although I don’t have to have the very newest version of something if an older version functions perfectly fine.
I don’t want something that is internet-based. I want something you can use without the internet.
All I have is a 32" Philips HDTV. (Also have an offline PVR to record shows and a blu-ray player but assume they are irrelevant.)
I see that I can buy a “Nintendo Wii Console Black with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort” for $379.99 on Amazon.
If I buy that, will I have everything I need to play the Sports and Sports Resort games? If not, what else specifically would I have to buy to go with it?
If I buy it, is there some reason I’m going to regret buying it instead of something else?
Should I try to buy it used somewhere, or am I better off just getting it new? I don’t want to pay less and get something that doesn’t work.
Does it include enough for 2 people to play against each other simultaneously. Or do I have to buy some accessory for that? If so, what?
Is there a particular seller who is better to buy this from than say, Amazon?
Thank you for any constructive comments!
