First let me state that I am 70+ years old ... I got this not just for "fun" but for some indoor exercise as well. I was daunted by the installation when it arrived and let it sit for a couple of days then decided to just "Do It" ... you see I have no children, grandchildren or young friends (or old for that matter) that I can call upon to help me set things like this up, or show me how they work. Well let me tell you, if you are like me in anyway PLEASE don't be fearful as I set the whole system up by myself and just finished playing my first game (Bowling (132)) ... color me thrilled. My next project is to create a Wii Mii and then on to golf, etc. On screen instructions are a very big help but also the manuals (there are 2) are very easy to understand as are the illustrations.If you have a group of friends you can start bowling leagues (even by yourselves bowling shirts and give your team a name) ... golf leagues, well you get the idea. The Nintento Wii is fine if your a single as well as for families, friends, neighbors!If you are thinking about one of these then I recommend you go right ahead and get yourself one ... it is NOT a waste of money & it is a wonderful way to get the body moving. Get Moving!
