Wii Fit U Test

One of the big questions we have been getting from moms this season is what to do about console video games.  Should they buy a Wii or an Xbox or a Playstation or is there something else?  And what about all those games?  Which game is the best?

Every family is soooo different and has different styles of playing together that it is not always easy just saying "Wha-LA!* Here is your Answer!"

But the great thing is that you don't have to take my word for it.  Our friend Andy Robertson has a fantastic YouTube channel that will help you with this important decision.  You can see these consoles and games in action and decide for yourself which device / game will work best for your family.

In the most recent addition to the channel Family Gamer TV reviews the Wii Fit U.  

Years and years ago (like Jordan in the video) I really got into Wii Fit.  I loved it and it really worked for me. One of the primary benefits for me was just being aware of my BMI and being able to set goals for my own fitness and then watch my progress.  It was also great to be able to get in a 10 minute workout even when it was a particularly chaotic day.  Flash forward five years and there have been some very cool additions to this "game".

Check it out:



Whatever game works for you and your family the important thing to remember is to make time to play together.  We are all running around, living very busy lives, and in a blink of an eye the kids have grown up and moved away.  There is no getting that time back.  One of the best ways to get the kids to spend time with mom and dad (without grumbling) is by playing video games together.


* I do actually know that it is spelled Voila not Wha-La but for the sake of clarity decided to just put in wha-la and explain later...
