I’m sure most of you guys have heard of the Nintendo Wii by now. But, before Christmas rolled around, I had never even seen the Wii and had no desire to play one. (Not a big video gamer.) I had heard all about it though. How you can create characters (Miis) to resemble yourself and play games like bowling and golf and tennis… all with a remote. You’ve seen the commercials, with everyone looking silly in front of their TV, punching at invisible objects. (That’s the boxing game, by the way.)
Then, for Christmas, my sister got one, my best friend got one and my aunt won one at her Christmas Party. Everywhere I went, I was surrounded by cartoon versions of my friends and family bowling and playing tennis. All of the sudden, I had to have one. So, a few days and five stores later, I too was the proud owner of a shiny white box of fun.
And it is fun! On New Year’s Eve, we bowled for almost eight hours straight. We couldn’t stop. I’m sure there’s a bunch of you that know exactly what I’m talking about. And for the record, my niece rocks at bowling. She has a high score of 254 and she’s only seven. I’m… well…I’m not seven, but I can’t beat her for the life of me. (She likes to remind me of it, too.)
Anyway, we’ve had such a great time playing this thing, that I wanted to spread the fun. So here’s a little giveaway with a big prize.
The Wii:
Includes the Wii console, Wii remote, Nunchuk controller, disk of sports games and wires and stuff.
Keep reading to see how you could win it.
Here are a bunch of Miis I made on the Wii for this giveaway.
And, here are a bunch of Mii cupcakes.
All you have to do to enter for a chance to win is…
Pick Mii Out and Wii-n Giveaway:
- To enter for a chance to win a Wii, just pick mii out.
- Guess the letter above that corresponds to the Mii character you think I use and leave your choice in your comments section below. Choose only one.
- Make sure to leave a way for me to contact you (by blog or email) if you win.
- Deadline to enter is Saturday, January 24, 2009 at midnight.
- Winner will be announced sometime Sunday, January 25th.
Note: The winner will be chosen at random using the random.org integer generator. To win, you must pick Mii out correctly. If the winning comment does not pick Mii out correctly, I’ll choose another comment at random until one does.
Have fun and good luck!

And WiiFit is fun! A friend has one, and we spent a couple of hours playing with it last week. The balance games and skiing games are a blast. Enjoy! :)
I pick H?!
I think ‘C’, but since you can have any alter ego you want in the Wii – who knows? Mii? I’d go goth every once in awhile, just for the fun of it!
I’ll have to go with D, but could be the B too. Hmm. Lovely cupcakes, and sure gotta love that Wii! :)

Hmmm, I’m going to guess E. No clue why. Just a guess. But I really want a Wii.
Hi, Don’t enter me in the contest, I already have a Wii. I just wanted to comment on the Wii Fit. I have one and love it. If you do the exercises and not just play with it, you get a pretty good workout. I started using it two weeks ago and have lost over five pounds. So… I highly recommend the Wii Fit. :-)
Oh and your cupcake skills ROCK!!!
blessings,
~*~
my guess is G. :) Love the cupcakes! You’re so artistic! My hubby has been wanting a game system for a long time and I finally decided he could get a Wii (only because I want it too, hehe). We’re waiting for our tax refund before we buy one… maybe we can win it instead! :)
I say G! What a fun giveaway! Thank you :)
I think it’s D!!! :) :) :) They all look awesome by the way! :0
My guess is C. The Wii is fun-at least the bowling, that’s the only game I’ve played. High score of 217! Wow!Awesome cupcakes–can’t wait for the cookbook! ;)
I’m going with D but picture you much blonder! Wii Fit is a blast…wait until you see someone do the hula hoop. beth@bethandchris.com

OH I would LOVE To win a wii!! I pick B and I hope you pick mii!
Ooooh, how cute! Miis are addicting. I pick D – too adorable.
I highly suggest the fit – it’s not going to be the best workout ever due to down time between games, but it’s a blast and can actually make you work up a sweat! Besides, how cute would your Miis be dressed as penguins??? FYI, that’s one of the Fit games. You become a penguin and catch fish. :)

I’m gonna go with C!

They’re all so cute. It’s hard to choose one even the ones with the funny faces. I thought C at first because she’s so pretty, but then I saw the little pucker on D and thought that just has to be the one, so I say “D” – Final Answer! :)

“H” Has to be the one!! And, yes, Wii bowling is fun!

I pick C.
Now you have to buy Wario Ware for the Wii. You will love it! It’s fast paced and great for a group.

“G” is your Mii!!!
Holy Comments! I choose B…*fingers crossed*
I believe your Mii is “C”. She looks just like you! :)
Thanks for the AWESOME giveaway! I too am hooked on the bowling game, and the boxing one (although I look ridiculous trying to box with those remote control things!)
I think you are H! Although part of me wanted to guess D…but I’m going with H.
I think you look like letter C! :)
A!!
I think Mii is “G”….??? I love your creations!
It must be C! I saw you on Martha Stewart, and it’s gotta be C. Unless your Mii (Yuu?) is your Alter-Ego, which would be fun, but not really fair. And C is the sexiest option, with that little mole and everything!
I remember the picture of you with John Schneider so I’m going to pick C since the hair is parted on the side. Thank you! :)
ljatwood at gmail dot com
C, you look like C.
I think H! THanks!!
I pick C! I love everything you have made so far. I have made the cake balls and the choc. chip cookie dough brownies….YUMMMM!!!
