19 Reasons to Buy a Wii: #11

The Nintendo Wii is about to launch on November 19, 2006. Between now and then, Game Freaks 365 is going to list 19 reasons each day for why you should buy a Wii.

#11 Wii Sports pack-in – Nothing’s bad if it’s free, right? Nintendo is packing in a game with a system at launch for the first time since the SNES. Of course, you could argue whether it’s free or if it’s a forced purchase of a game, considering Nintendo traditionally charges $200 for its systems at launch, but is charging $250 for Wii, but Wii Sports is likely well worth it either way you slice it (no pun intended). Wii Sports was one of the first demonstrations at E3 of the functions of the Wiimote. You get several different games in one package: Baseball, Bowling, Boxing, Golf and Tennis. You can also use your Mii profile on the characters in each game to personalize play.
