The Ultimate Wii Guide - Blog

If you live in Japan and you have a Wii (I wonder who doesn’t has a Wii in Japan), you can order food through your Wii console. Introducing the new Food Delivery Channel that allows you to order your favourite food from sushi to pizza.

This is the latest innovation and there is no need to call for delivery (some of us hate talking to people and ordering food). 

They will be using the Demae-can.com online food ordering service and the fastest food delivery in 30 minutes. 

There is a wide range of food available for you to choose:

1. Chinese food

2. Japanese food

3. Western food

4. Curry

and many more to come!

Select any of the food and you will get to listen to a matching sound to the food. What a creative advertising way for food delivery service. If only this is available around the world.

If you like cooking then perhaps this game would appeal to you. Cooking Mama World Kitchen is back in 3D this time with even better graphics (delicious looking meals) and cartoony features. It is also very colourful and that alone is going to enhance your appetite.

Now, this game seems to aim at younger players since this is rather an easy and funny game. However, with minigames that pop up while you are playing and the excellent animation, even adults might be attracted to it.

There are three game modes, cook with mama, let’s cook and cooking contest. Cook with mama allows you to learn all the recipes with mama. Let’s cook is suitable when you have mastered a dish. Cooking contest allows you to compete with mama, PC or a friend.

Still, this is a game worth trying if you have kids at home. Perhaps you can involve the whole family to play this game.

Take a look at the screen shots and you will find yourself in love with the graphics.

I hope all of you blog readers had a really nice Christmas and Happy New Year. I sure did, but after all the holiday food, I feel all ballooned up.

One of my New Year vows was to finally get back in shape. I haven’t done any exercise for almost two years now (back then when I got a hernia surgery, I got discouraged into laziness).

My health has declined since then as I’ve focused all my energy into working morning till late nights, sitting in front of the computer.

I never gained the motivation to start training again until now when my wife recently started to complain that my stomach is growing as if I was pregnant. (I’ve always been a skinny person so it’s very visible).

_

So, I thought I would finally put my Wii Fit to the ultimate test. I have decided to dedicate 1 hour every day for at least a months to see how effective this game really is.

Even if Wii Fit is not the ultimate fitness device, it’s a great motivation to easily get on your feet and start exercising regularly. The only thing needed is determination as even the greatest fitness device can collect dust in a shelf if you don’t have the willpower and a goal to strive after.

_
With this in mind, I created a new fresh Mii on the 1st of Januari 2009 and my result of the body test is the following:

BMI: 24.84 (very close to overweight according to Wii Fit)

Weight: 79.6 Kgs (174.68 lbs)

Wii Age: 30

According to the balance board advisor the optimal BMI value for me is 22 with a weight of 70.5, so this will be my goal. I don’t know how fast I can achieve this but I’ll keep trying until I reach it.

_

The second day, 2009-01-02,  my weight raised with 0.4 to 80kgs which the balance board in Wii fit quickly explained that could have to do with the fact that I measured my weight at a different time of the day. The first day I did it around 12:00 and the second day around five hours later. My BMI had increased to 24.97 and almost in line with the overweight area.

_

Today, 2009-01-03 is my third Wii Fit training day and due to time limitations, I did 30 minutes of training in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening and did the body test even later than yesterday (23:30). My result was again a disappointing gain of 0.4 leaving me in the overweight area with 80.4kgs and a BMI of 25.09. Annoying, but I will have patience and try to measure earlier tomorrow.

_

I will put all my results on the Wii Fit Challenge page everyday and post here now and then about my progress. If you are going through the Wii Fit training or are just about to start, feel free to send a comment about your progress or Wii Fit experience on the Wii Fit Challenge page.

I encourage all Wii fit owners to join in, set up a goal and start the fun balance board exercise. Make sure you push yourself to train everyday and feel free to post your results.

If you don’t have the Wii Fit, find a cheap one on BuyCheapWiiConsoles.com or Amazon.com.

I believe that by now most of you have got your Wii set as your Christmas/New Year gifts. Now, what do you do? Do you start playing ahead or are you wondering what you should be doing with your Wii set?

_

If you know what to do with your Wii set, carry on. Otherwise, you will need these:

1. Wiimote and Nunchuk.

Even though Nunchuk is not cheap but you will need this to experience all the fun you need with your Wii set.  After all playing in groups is the best experience. Alternatively you can ask your friends to bring their controllers over to your place if they have a Wii set. Otherwise it is best if you get a few Nunchuk so that your friends can enjoy the game as well.

2. Rechargable batteries.

Why you need these? Isn’t it obvious that you need these for your Wii mote after all they are operating on batteries. One fact is, the batteries will run out just one or two days of gaming so you wouldn’t want to change the batteries so often.

3.  Games.

There are so many for you to choose. Can’t decide which game to get first for your Wii experience? These are a few recommendations for you:

* Mario Kart Wii

* Super Smash Bros. Brawl

* Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

* Super Mario Galaxy

* Wii FIt

4. Virtual console that allows you to get in touch with the games from the past.

5. Wireless sensor bar for your wii to avoid any cable hassles. This is important because it can improve the visual and of course it means better images and better experience playing on wii.

6. Last but not least The Ultimate Wii Guide to get you up and running with your wirless network to play with your friends online and learn everything you need to know about your new console.

Now that you have known what to do, start a whole new year playing with your Wii is not a bad idea especially if you can get your whole family on it.

We know that kids or adults love presents on Christmas. After all Christmas is the time to give and forgive. Although giving is better than receiving, I am sure none of us mind at all in receiving all sorts of presents, both predicted or non-predicted.

However, some kids who are receiving Wii products as presents are reacting in the most bizzarre way that you have to watch to believe it. Therefore, as of today, the fifth day after Christmas, you will be getting a special present from us. Here is a video to entertain you (or scare you).

Enjoy!
