Wii Fit Plus Demo Days hosted by GameStop 4/25 & 5/2

by Radiris Diaz on April 21st, 2010

GameStop, the world’s largest video game and entertainment software retailer, in conjunction with Nintendo experts, will be hosting Wii Fit Plus Demos Days across the nation in 100 stores. Nintendo experts will showcase the Wii Fit Plus’ newest features and latest enhancements that will transform the way you work out. It doesn’t matter how old you are, you can be ‘new’ or ‘old’ to enjoy it. New exercises and games will increase the level of ‘fun’ and workouts will become more customizable.

Routines will be geared toward personal fitness goals, or specific ‘hard to reach’ target areas (I had to say that). It reminded me of a time that I went to see a personal trainer – the first question, and I think the last question I asked was “If I point to the area that I want to ‘fix’, can you just tell me how?”. He laughed, and I know he thought it was cute – but I was serious

Review: Hyperkin Golf Set for Wii

by Nina Pena on March 24th, 2010

Sound Plus

While sitting at home wondering what my day will bring I got the Hyperkin Golf set product in the mail (I think my UPS man comes to my condo more that anyone else!). When I got them initially I was excited because the Golf set was in pink! I love my Wii because it makes me feel like I can actually play golf, baseball or bowl.

I have to be honest I was a bit out of it when doing the unboxing and couldn’t figure out how to attach my Wii control to the clubs. I finally figured it out. Check out my goofy unboxing here! Once I connected them I put on my Wii and tried them out. THEY WERE AWESOME! I loved that I could hear them hit the golf ball and how it felt like I was actually using a club. I also tried it on Wii Fit to practice my Wii swing and it was just as easy and fun to use (plus I got a work out). This is one of my favorite accessories for my Wii so far…until I try the bat that Hyperkin also sent (stay tuned for that review). I think the soft safe foam design is also perfect for kids (just don’t let your dog get a hold of it, HA). Below are the product specs and pricing.

Product Highlights:
·         Built-in Internal Sound Device
·         Accurately simulates the sounds of a baseball bat, tennis ball or golf ball being struck
·         Motion Plus compatible
·         Patent pending technology
·         Soft, durable and safe foam design
·         Available in White, Blue and Pink
·         Available: Now
·         Suggested Retail: $19.99- 24.99

Review: I am cheating on my PS3 with my new Wii

by Nina Pena on February 17th, 2010

wii-hardware I am quite the loyal gal; in fact it took me years to bow down to HP products after bleeding the Dell blue for so long. My first gaming system back in the 80′s was the first Nintendo (yeah I saved the princess in Mario brother’s, ran my ass off on Track and Field, and vastly improved my shooting aim from Duck hunt).

I had played Wii Sports a year ago plus again at my cousins place recently and for the first time ever I got over 150 on bowling (now I am up to 200), kicked booty on virtual tennis and can box anyone out of my virtual boxing ring. After realizing I rock at the game I made it a goal to get it at some point. After 1.5 years of owning a PS3 I got a Wii as a second gaming console. It has become quite the addiction.

Review: The “T-Fitness Pro Pack” for the Nintendo Wii Fit

by Guest_Blogger on May 7th, 2009

I am a Wii-a-holic as my brother, Michael, from HardwareGeeks.com calls me. I use my Wii daily, specifically the Wii Fit, which along with a healthy diet, has helped me lose 23 pounds in the last six months. I’ve been doing it for so long that now I feel like it’s too easy. Luckily for me, my brother recently gave me the T-Fitness Pro Pack .

It’s an interesting product. It has everything I needed for my Wii Board and more. My favorite accessory was the rechargeable battery for the Wii board. The current trend is ‘going green’ and saving money, exactly what the rechargeable battery will allow me to accomplish. This was the first and best part of the package.
