(Wish I could give a full review...)

(Great Idea...if only it worked.)

(Good accessory for Wii)

(Batteries die immediately and customer service sucks)

(Batteries die after a few months)

I bought one of these dual chargers because overall the reviews are good. Unfortunately mine didn't work when received, at all. The power adapter that piggybacks on the existing Wii power supply must be faulty as when its plugged in my Wii doesn't light up and either does this charging station. Take it back out and plug the Wii power cord directly into the unit and the Wii works. So I went to there website that's listed on the packaging, [...]. I figured I could just contact them for a replacement instead of having to ship the entire thing back for a refund. No phone number or address found. So I clicked on the Customer Service link at the bottom of the page and it pops up a blank screen with no information. So finally I went to [...] to see who there domain is registered to...figured I could get there address or number from there and the domain has private registration on it so you can even do that.

Buyer beware....if the unit breaks good luck getting it fixed under warranty since there customer support seems non existent. Mines being returned.

Update 11/21/08: I did a search on the web for "Inted Customer Service" and found a site that had a email address. I emailed Intec and told them about my problem and they said they would replace the power adapter with proof of purchase if I mailed it to them. It's a lot cheaper to mail them just the power adapter then to return the entire package so I'm going to try that.
Had this for about a month, it stopped working. Also, prior to it giving up the ghost, the plug in the back started shorting out. For me, this was a waste of money - wish I had kept the reciept...
Chargers work great. Cooling Fan is a little noisy... but well worth extending the life of your Wii!
I purchased this item in the hopes of not having to use batteries, however, the rechargable batteries quickly die and do not hold a charge. I have returned the product to intec once and finally received a new one. One of the batteries never worked and now (approx. a month later) the other is almost dead. In addition, I immediately contacted intec and they are now referring me to their Canadian customer service. I say do not by a product from intec.
I've owned this unit for a few months now and I play with my wii console on and off. I haven't used the console for a month now and wanted to power the console up and play a game. To my disappointment the rechargeable batteries will no longer keep a charge of longer than a few minutes.

I don't know whether I was supposed to always remove them from the charging station after the led's indicated that a full charge was complete, but most re-charging stations these days have a built in off-switch so as not to over-charge the batteries. I'm guessing this unit doesn't have this feature and that's how the batteries died.

The design itself is annoying as well, since there is a constant noisy fan running while this unit is plugged in. the only way to turn off the fan is to unplug the unit.

I would not recommend this product and i'm searching for a better replacement.
Cool down your Wii's temperature and charge your Remotes with Intec's Dual Charging Station with Turbo Cooler. Keep your Wii remotes charged at all times for non-stop 24/7 gaming The built in Turbo Cooler keeps the Wii internal components cool at all times, preventing unnecessary overheating

(Madden '09 on the Wii is very fun)

(Best Madden I have ever played!)

(Awesome)

(Keeps kids busy)

(Very fun for beginner/occassional players as well as more experienced.)

the dual controller action is more fun than the standard/normal control pad. gives you a whole new experience. take a little time to get used to it. but, once you're used to it, it's a lot more fun.
Well, I have been a Madden fan since not so long ago. I have not played them all, but I can tell you I have played quite some of them and this is the best one so far.

For a beginner, it is VERY user-friendly. No complicated controls on the in-game screen while choosing plays, etc...

For more advanced players, making your own plays, strategies, etc... is very comfortable and much more simple than in previous Maddens.

The 5 on 5 game is great for learning and getting used to the controls. Also great for beginners to start learning basic rules and simple plays.

Bottom line, Best Madden I have ever played! I really recommend it if you really like Football. Cheers!
Awesome as usual for Madden. Game play is even more fun with interactive Wii control. Online play seemed a little sluggish. They also prevent you from going for it on 4th and long in certain situations!
This is a good product for young kids, parents and grand parents. The game helps teach footnall to kids and whets their appetite for the PS 3.
I love football and enjoy video games but I'm not going to spend hours and hours learning how to press a five button combo to spin and juke down the football field. This is so much easier and more intuitive. Snap your hand back to hike. Make a passing motion to pass... hard for a bullet, soft for a lob. It's so easy a kid can play it! Anyone old enough to play decent catch with a real football can play this game at the easy modes. Go to 5 on 5 and it's even easier.

Meanwhile, the harder modes provide more of a challenge for adults without loading up on super complex button combos. The controls require more fiddling at that level but it's not so difficult that it ruins the fun. It still has the basic football hike, pass, run feel to it. Quite fun.

If you don't like the celebrations, turn them off. I did.

(Great Workout tool)

(Wasted $6 on this.............)

(YOU CAN'T STOP MOVING&IT IS FUN !!!!)

(Awesome game, even for dudes!)

(The haters don't know what they're missing!)

I overheard this lady talking about this game so I went to blockbuster to get it and try it out.The game was really for my 8 and 10 year ago daughters but I had fun also.Guess what is on my Christmas list.Go Moms!!!

.........renting it, when I SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT IT!!!! :-) I didn't believe all the great reviews, and wanted to try it out first. All of you thinking about whether or not this is a good game, don't think, just go buy it! You'll be addicted in no time. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game!! Best game so far for the Wii in my humble opinion.

I work up a sweat every time I play. There is a workout session in it too. A quick workout, which is about maybe 4-5 minutes long and an extended workout which is about 8-10 minutes. At the end of each it tells you how many calories you've burned. A fun feature on that one before you begin the workout an overweight boy will come out and give you some reason why he is overweight and then ask you to help him get in shape. During the workout he will get skinnier and skinnier (my son thinks that's the best part, finds it quite amusing to see puffs of smoke go up from the boy and then when the smoke clears he's thinner) :-).

Even my 6 year old son got into this one. He couldn't get all the moves of course, but after a few tries he started getting the hang of it, and almost completed one of the easier songs.

There needs to be more games like this for the Wii, it really gets you moving. Now that I've done some of the songs several times, I'm starting to get a little more coordinated and adding in some of the feet movements too. :-)

So, quit debating and just go buy it, you won't regret it and it's worth every penny (even the $6 I spent renting it first!!!) :-)

P.S. I'm in my 30s (figured if others can admit to it, then so can I)!!! :-)
I purchased this game thinking it was going to be a little interactive and basically more fun to just dance around with my little ones during the songs BUT WOW WAS I SURPRISED !!!! We have SO MUCH FUN playing this Wii game and using the Wii remotes really gets you involved!!! The graphics are really neat and the fact we can change our cheerleaders is even really fun. There are many sessions where we will not stop playing until we can finally "beat" a song/routine. If you like to dance and sing and enjoy being active while playing a video game then We Cheer is WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE !!!!
This game is a hoot. Got it for a female family member but she's a bit young so she has a hard time passing a song but she has tons of fun in the attempt. This game is brutal at first. For the first hour or two, it's almost guaranteed it will be frustrating. But if you keep at it, things will click fairly fast as your body gets in tune with the intricate timing and motion this game requires. You pretty much have to copy what the cheerleader is doing on-screen. Wii Sports this is not where most guys cheat and just wave their wrists.
This game is extremely addictive. I haven't beat all the songs on Hard difficulty yet (stupid Moby song is killing me) but hopefully not much longer. For guys, you will need to put your inhibition aside since this game is embarassingly pink and bratz-y all over the place. This would be a great frat initiation routine! I love the song selection and it's a great workout if you move your whole body to the routine. Seriously, this is the closest thing you'll get to a dance simulator.
So just keep at it and you'll be rewarded. I'd recommend this as a great addition to your Wii Fit regiment.
When the Wii first came out, people got excited over the motion controls and all the possibilities and this game really delivers. Out of all the Wii games that use mostly motion controls, this is the best. You use your Wiimote(s) to imitate the movements of the cheerleaders onscreen and if you actually do the motions, you will be rewarded with a fun experience. It's not the most perfect game (only needs a few improvements to be perfect!), but if you're willing to get off your butt, you will have a good time. This could quite possibly be the best, non-hyped overlooked game for the Wii ever.
Prepare to clap your hands, stomp your feet and bring it on!

Putting players at the center of a nationwide cheerleading competition,We Cheerutilizes two Wii Remotes* as virtual pom-poms to create an authentic cheerleading experience.

(Won't take a charge)

(Battery Pack)

(A waste of money)

(un chargeable)

(Battery Pack for the Wii Fit)

This worked fine for the first 3 months. Now it won't take a full charge. The Wii Fit tells us our battery is low. We can use it plugged into the Wii which is works for us but it's not right.
we use the wii fit balance board every day. this helps not to rub out of batteries. we just love anything that has to do with the wii fit games!!!
I use my balance board 5-7 days per week, between 30-45 minutes at a time, sometimes much longer.

The original batteries that came with my Wii Fit lasted 94 days..to spend this kind of money for a battery pack that you have to plug in is not necessary in my opinion.

I leave my balance board in the same place all the time. Why would I want to be plugging it in all the time? Much more trouble than simply replacing the batteries every 3 months.

I suppose if you have a large family using it 2-3 hours per day, it might be worth it, but 4 AA batteries aren't that expensive and anyway, if you already have rechargeables and a charger, this is extraneous.

A better investment would be a regular AA battery charger.
I can't get it to charge Ihave plugged it into the usb port on my wii system that I also bought from amazon but it won't charge or anything I guess I've got a lemon but that just figures
Why have to worry about the battery power on the Wii Fit when you can just plug it in and forget about it while it's not in use. The Wii Fit uses a lot of energy if you are on it for long periods of time. This is a great option. You can plug it in overnight and then when you are ready to use it you can unplug it and move the balance board wherever you like or you can leave it plugged in, the cord is pretty long. Either way it beats replacing the batteries so frequently.

(I like it very much!)

(missing the interactive nature of wii fit board)

(Wii controller does not work properly with this game. Very frustrating. Waste of time.)

(Fun, challenging and intriguing)

(A Complete and Total Flop)

The game is very solid, has excelent graphics, and good sound. There is an opening ceremony and medal ceremonies. I really like this game very much!
This game is missing the interactive excitement created in the ski jump,snow board and ski race that the wii fit board brings to winter sports. It is just not that fun.
Wii controller does not work properly with this game. For example, in Alpine Skiing, I can't accurately steer in the direction I want. It's very frustrating. It's a huge waste of time.

The music and the graphic are okay.
I regret buying it. I should have rented it. Mario&Sonic at the Olympic Games is much better in terms of good controlling, better graphic, and more fun.

We haven't tried all 15 events in Wii Winter Sports yet, but wife and I completed the 7 event competition earlier this evening. My second day of playing with it, her first. It took 55 minutes to complete the 7 event competition although there were a few pauses, as reported by the game itself. I'm not sure if it stops timing during pauses, but it wouldn't have made much difference either way. We were both breathing hard and sweating (and I swim about 500 yards each day). Then I did curling, which isn't in the 7 event competition and now my arm is sore from sweeping.

We've done ski jumping, 4-man bobsled, skeleton, figure skating, alpine skiing, 500M speed skating, and slalom skiing. You can compete against time or the Wii, depending on the sport, or against another team. You can have multiple people on a team. Many of the activities require you to use both the controller and the nunchuck, but there is very little use of the buttons on the devices. You use them to control or gain speed and to control direction. In curling you also use the controller to sweep.

There is an opening ceremony like the Olympics and medals are awarded - if you earn one. There are a pair of announcers and they don't mind making fun of poor performances.

Winter Sports doesn't use the Mii's. It does have more lifelike characters although you have no control over what your character looks like. Operating these games is more complicated than any of the games in Wii Sports, and the manual is only OK. I still don't know what "carving" is in downhill skiing, but the onscreen instructions tell you how to do it. For each event the game presents illustrated on-screen instructions before the event begins. It is easy to skip them and even to prevent them from being displayed. You also get to control the relative volume of the background music, the sound effects and the voices of the announcer. I have to reduce the volume of the music for the announcers to be understandable.

Overall, so far it isn't as natural to us as tennis or any of the other games in Wii Sports, but it is fun and exercises different muscles. These are sports that we've never actually participated in so none of them are as natural to us.

I've posted a note in the Amazon Forum asking for tips on how to use the controls in the curling event. I'll also ask in a Wii Usenet newsgroup.

The Wii belongs to my Wife. I'm an Xbox/Playstation kinda guy.

My wife likes games that are easy to understand, not too challenging, easy to play/win and fun enough to keep her interested for 45 minutes to an hour, at which point she usually gets distracted by something else.

Me, I can play games for hours. I want a game that's difficult, challenging, and unique. I like games that make me think, and challenges me to find new ways to complete tasks.

NEITHER of us liked Winter Sports on the Wii. The controls are completely senseless, and have no relation to the task at hand, spare possibility the luge/skeleton/bobsled games which require nothing more than tilting a controller to keep the craft centered on the track. The controls for speed skating made no sense whatsoever, and the curling controls were, in a word, stupid. The controls for ice skating were so frustrating that we only played it once! They simply had you jerking on the Wii controller and nunchuk attachment when icons for the two controllers reach a circle at the bottom of the screen. The problem was, we could never get the controller to read accurately, and felt like there was a literal 1/10th second gap of opportunity to register the movement. Very, very frustrating.

The other various subgames give you instructions on how to control the sport, but no indication of how to reach success in the game. For example, it took a few passes down the bobsled track before we realized that you wanted to aim your craft for these light-colored strips impossed in the ice while a "success bar" would fill at the bottom, indication successful completion of each turn. If we had been instructed in this method before our first time down the track, it probably wouldn't have been so frustrating.

The graphics look nice until you realize that there's little intelligence behind it. During a two-player, speed-skating challenge, I pressed the Ready button, and both character figures on my split screen took a launch stance at the starting line. My wife had not pressed the Ready button yet, and so both of the character figures on her split screen were still stretching.

I love the winter olympics. I love winter sports. But this game isn't worth it's value in melted plastic. I'd have more fun falling repeatedly on my butt on an ice rink then playing this game for any length of time.

Save your money. Buy something else.
Break world records in diverse single player modes and challenge your friends and family to taxing multiplayer matches. Captivating sports such as Figure Skating or Skeleton demand high skills and fast reactions. Experience the fascination of Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge with stunning graphics and an exciting soundtrack.
