 A Sneak Preview of the WII Instruction Manual December 29, 2008
R. Sauser (Schaumburg, IL USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This gives a brief overview of what the WII can do. The book does not contain much more information than the instruction manual that comes with the WII. Also, the book appears to be quite dated as it refers to the WII being out for a few months.
If you want a brief preview of some of the things that are available on the WII than this book is for you. However, if you are planning on purchasing a WII, I recommend going with the instruction manual and saving your money.
I found other books, (e.g., WII for Dummies) to be more expensive, but to be much more comprehensive.

With the success of the Nintendo Wii, many upcoming owners are having a very tough time on finding the new game system, and deciding if it is the right system for them. This book The Nintendo Wii Pocket Guide, is a simple and easy reflection about what the Nintendo Wii is all about. It is also easy to highlight all the simple instructions on how to operate the new system, and each of the simple parts of the system, from the virtual console and Wii Shop channel where you can download games like Super Mario 64, to a quick how to guide on what games are best suited for the system, and all the kinks of extras like the Internet Channel. It is a quirky and convient guide for anyone who has bought the system used without instructions, or if you're planning on buying Nintendo's dynamic console. I realy like how simple the book is, and it is a great buy.
