Yoshi!!!.......2007-12-20
It's not perfect (New Super Mario Bros.is better), but it is a unique little platformer that you'll have fun playing if you're a Mario or Yoshi fan, so if you are and you haven't already, buy it.
Good classic game.......2007-11-27
This game is really fun for older and younger people alike. I had a good time playing it, and it can be played over and over again.
Only one problem.
The last levels are really DIFFICULT.
I'm older, so I had the patience to keep trying the levels over and over again, but a child might get very frustrated. Just a warning.
Over all, I would recommend the game, but don't get mad at the last levels!
Not as good as SMW2: Yoshi's Island.......2007-11-04
Yoshi's Island for the SNES was a great game. This game is an ok game. What's different? Yoshi's Island DS is a difficult game. The SNES YI is easy to beat, but so fun that you will spend hours trying to get 100 on all the levels. YI DS will leave you either happy just barely getting through the level or just getting frustrated and turning the game off. What I miss most from the first game are the items. The items collected in mini-games made the mini-games worth playing. In YI DS the mini-games are harder, less enjoyable, and only get you coins and extra lives. Speaking of lives, you can get more than 100 in YI DS making getting extra lives pointless. Like many of nintendo's sequels lately (except the wonderful New SMB) it is an ok, playable game, but only if you've never played the original.
Pretty good game.......2007-10-23
I liked this game alot. It was the first game i bought for my Nintendo DS. Although the sound can get a little annoying, it is still a fun game.
I have not beat it yet and I have had it for about a month now. I recommend you buy this if it is one of your first games. It might be too easy for experienced people.
As with the first game, good for a while, but decends into bore........2007-10-18
I liked this game to begin with. The graphics are simply gorgeous and shows off what the DS is capable of perfectly. The gameplay is, to begin with, easy and imaginative. But it it quickly gives way to tedium by about the third level.
The problem is that it doesn't really change much and you end up doing more or less the same damn thing in every level. There became less and less need for me to go back to the game. I like new things to constantly crop up and develop through the course of a video game, even in a simple kid's game such as this.
Much like the original Yoshi's Island, that I played on my GBA, this game starts off great with loads of color and cuteness, but fails to keep it all interesting.

Must Have Addition.......2007-12-22
The quality of this product vs price is amazing. Anyone who owns a Nintendo DS and wants any accsessory needed for any occasion should have this product.
Great organizer for the DS lite.......2007-12-11
Bought a pair of these for the kids and this kit has all the necessary items to keep their favorite games, charger, and earplugs in one handy place. Extra stylus is also a plus, as we lost the original one shortly after we bought this kit. Ds owners will not be disappointed.
Great Product.......2007-12-08
I bought this last year for my DS Lite. I didn't use the extra container for the cartridges but I carry my DS and games in the case EVERYWHERE. The stylus holder gave out after a few months. I guess I'm a little heavy handed while doing "Brain Age" but everything else is terrific. The protectors are doing a great job. I am just now needing to replace the one on the tap screen. I love the headsets so I can play when waiting in an area where it needs to be quiet. I also like the lighter adaptor since I've periodically run my battery down while in the car. I highly recommend this.
lots of accessories.......2007-12-07
This is great for the traveler. It has everything you need to take your games along in a long car ride.
A perfect compliment .......2007-12-01
This is really a great value. I just bought screen protectors that were sold separately for $10, the ones in this kit i used on another DS - and i could not tell the difference between the more expensive one and this one. The screen protector, case, and car charger are by far my favorite accessories. Its a shame for the outer casing of the DS to get scratched, so the carrying case is perfect. It has 2 compartments, one for the DS, and the other where i store 3 games, a lens cleaner, and 2 extra styluses.
I cant stress the following point enough..
!!!! DISCLAIMER !!!! BUY A DS SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR YOUR DS !!!!
This is extremely important. I take extremely good care with my games and systems. I have Zelda The Phantom Hourglass (an excellent game) but unfortunately, i used the game for 30 minutes and lo and behold, my screen was now scratched due to not having a screen protector. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Thx 4 the help!.......2007-11-30
I just read the really really really really really long review at the top and it gave me alot of info. I now want to get this game because it sounds so much fun! OH! And thanks to whoever wrote that really long review! :)
Wonderful.......2007-07-27
Item was in perfect condition and my daughter has a lot of fun with it.
Dogz is Super-cool! .......2007-06-28
Dogz is awesome! I got it 2 days ago and have played it non-stop! You start off in a pet shop. If you find the dog you like, you will go to a room in the pet shop, and play with the puppy. If you like the dog, you can take it home with you. If you don't, then you can go look at the rest of the dogs. Then you go home. Your house has a bedroom, kitchen, family room, computer room, and a front yard.
Before you take a walk you have to get your dog it's shots. In the meanwhile, you can feed your puppy, teach your puppy tricks, and other fun things. You do have to go to school Mon-Fri, but all you do is go to the front door, and then it will show you coming home. Once you get your shots, you can take your dog for a walk. Then you walk the big town with your dog. There is a vet, pet shop, dog park, and more! Also when you take your dog for a walk, your mom might ask you do run to the candy store or something like that. Then she'll give you a present. When you go on the walk, you can meet people with dogs. Keep visiting the people, and your dog will make friends with their dogs. Once you have a couple friends, you can have a party on Sunday. Your mom will ask you if you want to have a party. Also on the weekends, you can enter a competition. There will be one at the pet shop and one at the dog park.
You can train your dogs to do tricks. When the trick is learned, your mom will give you a present.
At night when you go to bed, you can write in your diary and view your dog's status. Five hearts is the best and zero hearts is the worst.
In your closet, you can change the character's outfit, decorate your room, and put toys and decorations in your room.
There are also mini games in the toy chest. Your parents give them to you as gifts.
Sorry if I missed anything else. Just writing my review makes me want to get my DS, and play Dogz!
Dogz Review.......2007-05-29
I got this for my 8th birthday and absolutely love it. After your dog is vacinated, you can take it for walks, play tournaments, and you can meet other dogs and have parties with them. It was easy for me to learn. I have played it every day ever since I got. I would definitely recommend this game.
Awesome, shocking, amazing!.......2007-05-24
I love this game. I mean you can do so much with your dog. They just miss two care jobs: brushing teeth and cliping nails. I would recommend getting this instead of getting Nintendogs, because in Nintendogs you do not have as much to do with your dog, and it is more advanced than Nintendogs. I would give Nintendogs 3 stars because it is good not great. Dogz is great. Dante

Does not work with Call of Duty 3.......2007-12-02
This gun is a nice product with the only flaw being you have to pull the trigger back very far to fire. That's pretty good in comparison to the other wii attachments that exist currently. However, this gun does not work with Call of Duty 3, wich is the only reason I bought it.
I ordered this item for my son to use with Call of Duty 3 becuase it looked sleek, it got fairly good reviews, and it was cheap. When it first came and we tried it out, it seemed all right but as the game progressed we realized how difficult it was to play with. In Call of Duty 3 you have to push buttons on the top of the remote such as the "A" button and the "+" and "-" buttons. This is pretty much impossible to do while holding the nunchuck in one hand and the gun in the other.
Overall, an OK product but if you are buying this for Call of Duty or any other game that requires you to use the top half of the wii remote, don't waste your money.
Room for improvement.......2007-11-23
I purchased two of these light guns to use with my new Resident Evil : Umbrella Chronicles game. It works. You use the nunchuck to collect items, recharge weapon, change weapons, and avoid obstacles. You use the gun simply to press the "B" button which acts as a firing trigger. It feels a little heavy on your hand. The first issue that I noticed was that in order to fire, you had to press the trigger completely in. After a few hundred bullets, your finger will get a bit tired with the constant friction against the lower side. I switched fingers but gave up on the gun after a few chapters. After a few levels, my index finger was sore. When a friend came over to play, he gave up on the gun as well. I placed a small cloth piece underneath the wii remote to give it a more sensitive triggering mechanism. This helped somewhat, but after a few dozen times, the remote starts coming off the gun. I thought a rubberband would help with this, but decided to just ask for a refund instead.
Better than the other wii gun attachments so far........2007-09-04
This Wii Gun is quite fun once you get used to it. Using it is a bit heavier then using the plain wii remote by itself but you'll get the hang of it. The little extra weight may slow your hand movement a bit, but it also helps steady your shoots a bit at the same time. Pulling the trigger to press the B button also takes getting used to since it takes a few milliseconds to pull the trigger to active the B button then pressing the button without the gun, but that can be fixed (tape anyone). With most wii shooter game out right now like the shooting game in Wii Play or the Boo mini-game in Super Paper Mario, you can press the B button instead of the A button to shoot. So if there's a shooter game that only use the A button to shoot, then you're out of luck. Pay no attention to the other review that says that this can't work with a nunchunk. Underneath the handle of the gun is a slot that you can plug in the nunchunk, so game such as Elebits and Red Steel will be no problem. Plus since the whole nunchunk is not attached directly to the gun, you can move them both separately. One other thing worth mentioning is that using the Wii Gun for too long can cause cramping in the finger but nothing too serious. Overall this is not a necessity but if you need a gun attachment to feel more in the game and can't wait for the Nintendo Wii Zapper, This is the one.
I dont know.......2007-08-10
This gun is deffinatly al lot of fun to use but it doesnt work with Resident Evil 4, which is the reason i bought it. No biggy though there will be other first person shooter, Metroid. Anyother problem is you have to take ff the wii strap or else it gets in the way it is kinda wierd but if you have 2 wiimotes then your fine, also it is very easy to put the strap back so no problem. For only $20 bucks it is a good deal the sort of duck hunt game on wiiplay is a lot of fun. This thing does take a liitle bit of time to get use too mainly becuase you have to pull the trigger fully not just a little (finger gets tired but not a big deal). Bottom line it is worth $20 bucks and even though it has its flaws it makes the games more realistic and fun.

Arcade excitement, arcade feel
Excite Truck doesn't hide the fact that it's an arcade racer. You won't be modifying your rig with aftermarket parts or racing to win the heart of some flag-waving girl. You will, however, go fast- very fast. It would be easy to stay on the dirt path that defines the race track, but if you plan on truly winning in Excite Truck, you have to go off road and in the air. Your true success in each race is based on a star system. The more stars you get by performing stunts, drifts and more, the better your rank.
Netting lots of stars is not for the feint of heart. You'll need to cruise through fields of trees, launch yourself high in the air, hang on around curves for dear life and smash the daylights out of other trucks. All this and you still want to finish the race in first place.
Turbo originality
As with the game's spiritual predecessor, the NES classic Excitebike, you can turbo to your heart's content, but if you push the envelope too far, your rig will overheat, causing you to stall until it cools down. If you smash into a tree, go to far into the water or come face-to-face with a rock known as a mountain, you'll need to mash the 2 Button to right your truck and get back on the road.
The Wii-unique aspect of Excite Truck is the way you hold the Remote. Instead of its traditional vertical configuration, you hold it in a horizontal fashion, like the center bar of a steering wheel. You move the remote in the same fashion that you would a car steering wheel, tilting your right hand up if you want to turn left and your left hand up if you want to go right. When your truck goes airborne, its front end will lean toward the ground if you tilt the Remote away from you, and if you tilt the Remote toward to, your truck's front end will point up, allowing you to catch a little more air. If you catch enough air, you can try to pull off a 720 and, if you're daring enough, a 1080. The more midair spins you can perform, the more stars you earn. Plus, remember tilting your arms while playing Excitebike to try to make your character land a huge jump? Now that move will actually affect the game in Excite Truck.
"Raze" the track
The game features a Dynamic Terrain power-up. When you drive over this symbol, the road ahead changes, sometimes it plows upward to give you an extra hill to jump off. Other times, the terrain can sink, sometimes exposing water that can cool off an overheating engine. If you time the Dynamic Terrain activation just right, you can earn stars by sending racers out in front of you for an unexpected flight. Excite Truck's tracks also contain POW power-ups. This gives you clutch invincibility as you dare to go off the road and into the woods for a star-flooded tree run.
Excite Truck lets you customize the in-game music you race to. Download an MP3 to an SD card and explore Excite Truck's sound options to hear the tunes you want. The speed of the game is one thing, going fast to tunes that get you pumped up makes the game a pulse-pounding experience.

Throwing trucks doesn't get old..........2007-12-24
This is a great game for the Wii and a blast to play against another opponent on split screen. Thankfully, this game actually splits the screen down the middle (vertically) instead of horizontally like a lot of games and seemed to strike a healthy balance between visibility and screen clutter. The tracks are fairly straight-forward but there are hidden routes that take a little bit of hunting to exploit and gain time.
One of the cooler aspects of this racing game are strategy points that you drive through that "change" the course...literally. The next 1/4 of a mile or so of road will shift and completely change moving either up or down like a massive, mind-controlled earthquake. If you time your hitting of these just right you'll "throw" the other trucks that you're racing against and gain bonus points - very, very fun in my opinion.
What a great game.......2007-12-22
A very enjoyable game that you can sit down and play without any fuss. Having the objective to obtain a number of stars by doing tricks, smashing into other trucks etc makes it more competitive and interesting than just racing to the finish line first. And sacrificing ultra realistic physics places more emphasis on fun than being a realistic simulation.
Graphics are quite nice, and there is no lag despite being such a fast paced game for a (relatively) slow processor. Menu options appear to be quite basic, and I think they rushed this for an early release, but the rest of the game is well detailed and addictive.
Of the few Wii games I own, this one gets played on high rotation.
Unexpected fun.......2007-12-12
I got this title because my boys (7 and 5) love the idea of racing monster trucks. When it came in, I learned how to control the game and eventually completed the Basic training for the kids. Once in the game, they had a blast and so did I!
I don't expect realistic graphics on the wii so I wasn't disappointed. They are good enough to not distract while playing. I wish I could change my angle of view slightly at times but that may be a setting I never saw.
Playability is where this game shined. It is an impressive marrying of the wii controller into a driving game. My only complaint is that the controller has to be held flat with buttons up as opposed to facing you for steering and control.
I fully recommend this game as a solid dose of fun.
Losing sleep over this game!!!.......2007-11-23
Excite truck is an absolute blast. I bought it for my kids (7,5) last christmas and it's still our most popular game. The jumps, the spins, the crashes... you literally find yourself cracking up during game play. Two-player is great but I usually wait for my kids to fall asleep and then try to achieve the multitude of awards under single player. It's through single player that you are able to unlock bigger and badder trucks to race. Do yourself a favor, if you are just buying yourself the wii console and want to purchase a few games with it, make sure this game is one of them.
70+ positive reviews. What else do you need to know ?.......2007-10-31
This must be one of the best Fun based car racing games I have played for a loooong time.
This car racing game is more based towards 3d views and some somewhat unreal acceleration functions. But mind you this increases the fun-factor by several 100%.
Can you imagine a racing game where the racing track actually runs trough mountains and valleys in dimensions of several x0 meters up and down ? Its like making your car work and jump like a goat in the Alps ;-)
Ever thought of turning on the rocket boost engine when you are in the air ?
This game has those features and anything you havent thought of yet !!
The background weather is changing from rain to snow to sunshine and even the waterdrops appear and disappear on your wind screen.
That is the car racing game with the most stunning fun and stunt-effects. So for sure you can make stunt starting from simple drifting, to airspins, activate superpower to break through jungle deep woods, activate hyper accelaration where the racing track gets transformed in front of your eyes into a ramp .. and it just doesnt stop there.
First time I played it I was shocked that you actually have to start running through a training before you are allowed to play it. Once the real game starts you understand why the training was made for it. ;-)
There are already 70+ reviews but I can just add this will be a long time seller !!
Excellent fun for anybody involved !!

Great Kirby Game!.......2007-09-30
The game is good. It is exactly like every other 2D kirby game from nintendo. If you like the earlier kirby titles you will like this one. It still has all the kirby music and cute graphics. The graphics on the DS game is very colorful and full of life. It is a fun game for al ages.
Fun, but gets harder!.......2007-09-26
This game is fun! Do not think this game is for babies or girls! You can get all sorts of cool powers and extras! This game's probably worth buying if you are a Kirby fan! This game does get hard! The game starts out easy and gets harder as you go along! Why not by this game?

My 9 year old's opinion..........2007-09-30
A lot of fun. Worth buying. Alittle confusing but that is the point of the game. I would recommend it. I have had it for awhile and I still enjoy it.
And they just keep coming.......2007-09-25
As a hardcore Pokemon fan, I found Pokemon Ranger to be a fun game. Although it can get repatitive at times, I'm really enjoying it so far. It makes good use of the stylus, which is nice to see the DS's potential on occassion. If you like pokemon then pick this one up, its a good one for the collection.
happy pokémon :).......2007-09-04
I've been told that the game is a bit too short, but I have not beat it yet, so I'm still enjoying it. It's a very interesting concept that you have to draw circles around the Pokémon until it's successfully befriended. In the other games I always thought "Isn't it kind of mean taking a Pokémon away from its wild home and making it listen to you?" I always put it off. But in this game, they get to go back to where they came from, so that there are no hard feelings. ;)
Not what I expected.......2007-08-11
This isn't as good as the other Pokemon games on the market. Gameplay is a bit boring at times. Nice collection of Pokemon, but ultimately the only reason I spent so much time on the game is to get a Manaphy for my Pearl and Diamond games.
Disappointing.......2007-07-24
I thought drawing pokeballs would be fun, and it is.. for the first 5 seconds.

eh...........2007-04-18
A few months ago, when amazon was selling this same game for $20 through target(or the other way around) this game was a great bargain. It gave nice and stylish graphically amazing gameplay with an online option in a portable package. For $40 im not so sure. This game was pretty amazing fot 20 but u may have to rethink the descision to buy it at 40.
Game Rocks.......2007-04-07
I have to say there has yet to be another game for the PSP that hits this level of play. Especially the multiplayer aspect. It's as good as sitting at your home PC. BUY THIS GAME if you love multiplayer and the PSP
Excellent game.......2007-03-30
Although the campaign mode of this game is pretty short, it is intense and action packed. The multiplayer modes are amazing, and never get boring no matter how long you play. I got it from Target via Amazon for $19.99 and it was worth every dime. Delivery was excellent, and if you like FPSs you'll like this game alot, I guarantee it. The cons of this game are: short campaign mode, controls (tricky at first). However, there are way more pros, so I think that the 20 bucks was a bargain for a qualit game like this.
Medal Of Honor : Hero.......2007-03-28
This game is awesome. As first hand shooter you go through some real intense combats & there are various types of weapons to choose from. The graphics & special affects are great. This game was supposed to be for my son but now we both share playing time.I love it.

Welcome to a new generation of Rayman
You'd be hard-pressed to find a game with as much character as Rayman Raving Rabbids. From the creative minigames to the quirks of the bunnies, this game packs an immense amount of entertainment on one disc. It's rare in games that failing during a competition can bring you as much joy as actually succeeding, but Rayman Raving Rabbids does an admirable job of rewarding your failure with a large dose of comic screams, flying plungers and crossed eyes.
Of course, the point is to succeed and not let the bunnies laugh at your failure. Rayman Raving Rabbids may have a lot of style but it has very little plot. Each level consists of four minigame challenges and one "boss battle," so to speak. If you complete at least three of the minigames, the main gate opens, allowing you to take on a greater challenge. Once you play a minigame in the Story Mode, you unlock that minigame and can play it at any time and against friends.
Exercise your Wii Remote
Hand it to Ubisoft's development crew as they really took advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers' capabilities. Some minigames are as simple as twirling the Wii Remote like a lasso and pushing a button to launch a cow as if you were in a hammer throw competition. Some minigames really test your coordinating, asking you to swing the Nunchuk like a jump rope and flicking the Wii Remote up to make Rayman jump.
Each level has one consistant challege, however: a rhythm game. As a song plays, the bunnies approach a spot on either stage left or right. When they hit that spot, you'll shake the Nunchuk (if the bunny is on the left) or the Wii Remote when the rabbid hits the mark.
When you take on the boss stages, you'll find yourself, more often than not, playing a rail shooter. The Wii Remote becomes your light gun, firing plungers at the horde of oncoming rodents. When your plunger supply runs out, shake the Nunchuk to reload. In recent years, the rail shooter (where you don't control the movement) has been forsaken for the first-person shooter and free movement. The Rayman boss experience will make rail shooter fans rejoice. If other shooters can perform as well as the plunger-fueled firing action of Rayman Raving Rabbids, the genre will come back with a vengeance.
Impressive replay value
There's extra incentive to play the many minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids. When you complete a game in Challenge Mode, the game gives you a code that you can enter at the Rayman Web site which basically gives you access to special features on the site.
The minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids skew toward a younger audience, and at first, an above-average gamer should find the games to be pretty easy. However, once the minigames are unlocked, a big challenge awaits you to get the highest scores and blast your friends in multiplayer challenges. That's when the real party begins! Rayman delivers exactly what the Wii promises: fun and lots of it. Here's hoping the bunnies come back for multiple invasions!

So far, my favorite game for the Wii.......2007-12-15
Of all of the games I've played on my Wii so far, this is easily my favorite. It does a great job of making use of the unique abilities of the Wii, moreso than most other games I've played. It is lots of fun to challenge yourself to complete all of the level games. The best part is the twisted sense of humor involved in most of the games. It is very much to my liking. So, this female geek in her early 30's approves heartily of this game.
And by the way, warthog racing is really hard in cemeteries no matter which way you go.
Pure enjoyment from start to finish.......2007-12-10
Rayman Raving Rabbids for the Wii is a wonderful game, with mini-games ranging in quality from good to great. It easily makes the short list of games I'd recommend that anyone should own for the Wii.
It's also a game that takes full advantage of the capabilities of the Wii controller, in ways that feel intuitive and immersive. I know the game is available on other systems, but I can't imagine what the point would be; it would lose far too much without the Wii controller.
The mini-games themselves are creative and unique, and the quality is very high. In my opinion, there are no duds in the bunch, and many of them are excellent. There's a generous assortment of mini-games and there are a number of variations on many of the games, so replay value is also high. And even setting aside the multiple modes, the shooting sequences are enjoyable enough (and funny enough) to play many times over.
Finally and most importantly, the entire game is shot through with a sly, playful sense of humor. It's so pervasive that even the littlest things in the game are fun. Something as simple as watching a slack-jawed rabbid demonstrate the proper Wii controller technique for a mini-game is enjoyable--and that's before you even start playing.
"Instant classic" is an overused phrase, but in this case it really does fit. If you have a Wii and haven't played this game yet, you're missing out.
BUY THIS GAME!!!.......2007-11-28
I am not going to make it hard for you by giving a lot of detail, here is the first thing you should know about this game....... it is super awesome, super fun, and super funny!!!!!!!! So do not even think about it,
just buy this game right away! Also why buy some dumb game for fifty dollars when you can get the game of all time for just thirty bucks!!!!
I mean chucking plungers at rabbids and throwing cows, what more could a kid want?!?!I also recomend the second RRR!!!!!!
One of the best game on Wii.......2007-11-26
Rayman raving rabbids could be one of the best game ever on Wii. It consists several different kind of games that well demonstrate the properties of Wiimote. And the unusual enemies, rabbids, are somehow funny and cute. It is a excellent party game, and is quite fun for playing alone too.
However, despite all of the "fun factors," there are some small defects in this game:
1. Sometimes, the 3D animation of some background characters does not play smoothly, especially when Rayman stays within the arena walking around, the rabbids in the background move like robots.
2. For the dancing games, sometimes the rabbids do not appear following the musical rhythm of the song, and make it hard or even impossible to achieve the perfect score.
Although there are some small defects, it is still a game that worth to buy.
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-11-26
This game is funny and it has great mini games. The ending was kind of depressing but it was really a good game. The mini games were really creative. It was really funny the way that after he is captured and thrown out into the coliseum, the rabbits start chanting and have tools such as plungers in there hands. The rabbits are so funny the way they scream when they attack you! I really can't wait to get Rayman Raving Rabbids 2.

Great Product.......2007-12-01
This is a well made carrying case. It has all the features you could ask for... the only thing that could be improved is the amount of storage space in the lower compartment. It has enough room to "squeeze" in 4 remotes and nunchucks but it could be bigger. Other than that this is a great product and I would highly recommend it.
Solid, no frills case-- priced about right.......2007-11-30
The review title pretty much says it all. At $19.99 it'd be a no-brainer, so perhaps it's a little on the expensive side, but the quality is decent enough.
Best case for you money! .......2007-11-15
This is a great travel pack for the Wii! Everything fits securely w/out moving around, and it's not hard to pack. The flap on the bottom for the cords was a wonderful idea; I love not having to completely unpack everything to play. I really love not having to Wii or Nintendo logo on the front; it doesn't instantly tell everyone you own a Wii. I love this case!
G-Pak for Nintendo Wii.......2007-11-14
I just received the G-Pak for my Nintendo Wii today and I love it. I purchased a smaller case made for "Wii" and it could only fit system and the cords, Nothing else. For ten more dollars I purchased the G-Pak and I love it. Fits everything and it is unbelievable. Don't buy anything else!!
Excellent organizer!.......2007-11-08
This is an excellent storage case for the Wii system. It's well padded and everything fits in snuggly with room to spare. We checked out cases at our local retail stores and nothing compares to this. The price is right too...can't beat it!
