Nintendo Wii
The Nintendo Wii is one of the best selling and most popular game consoles ever made. Your mom or wife may not be much of a gamer, but the Wii is so much more than simply a game console. The active games that you can play on the Wii are great family fun and give kids and adults something to do together that involves getting up and moving around. The Wii's unique control methods ensure that gaming is no longer a sedentary activity. The best part is that Nintendo is finally catching up with the demand for the Wii. You can now walk into many stores like Best Buy and Walmart around the country and find the Wii sitting on store shelves.

Nintendo Wii Fit
One of the most popular games for the Nintendo Wii isn't so much a game as it is a fitness program. The Wii Fit includes a balance board that you can stand on and the game system will track your weight and allows you to play fitness games. The balance board is also being used in more and more games that come out. For instance, you can use the balance board in some skateboarding games. The Wii fit is a great game for mom's who like to exercise or who want to get fit without having to go to a gym. Like the Wii console itself, the Wii Fit is easy to find in stores today with production finally catching up to demand.
