An Affordable Alternative to the Wii

On a Budget? Try the MySports Gaming System

Ariana R. Cherry-Shearer
The Nintendo Wii is a popular gaming system that is showing up in many households around the world. Children and adults both love it because of the ability to be up and moving around as you game. It is stimulating, entertaining and especially great exercise. While the Wii offers many great positives, the price can still be too much for households on a budget. Another option that offers similar results as the Wii, but offers a more eye pleasing price tag is the My Sports Gaming System.

The MySports Gaming System is a wireless gaming system that has all of the popular sporting games such as bowling, tennis, baseball, golf and boxing. It includes the wireless remotes, and even miniature versions of the sporting equipment too. You are able to attach mini rackets, baseball bats and a golf club to the game remotes. The MySports Gaming System also uses batteries instead of electricity as well. Be sure to purchase plenty of batteries!

As for gaming experience, the graphics may not be as clear as the Nintendo Wii itself. The graphics seem to be inspired from the looks of the classic arcade games. Also, the games that come with the system are the only games that you will ever play on it. There are no other types of games that you may purchase for it. If you enjoy playing a variety of the available sports though, this should not be a problem. The MySports Gaming System is a perfect for beginners who can't raise the money to purchase a Wii, although. By using the wireless hand remotes, you still find yourself getting out of your seat, and trying to hit that tennis ball over the net, scoring a home-run, or releasing some stress or anger in the boxing game. So if you are looking for some simple indoor exercise or entertainment for your children, the system will do just that.

At the JCPenny website, the MySports Gaming System can be purchased for for $9.99. The original price was once around ninety dollars. The system is on sale quite often. Other online outlets that offer the affordable gaming system is Ebay, QVC and Amazon. Other websites offer it for prices from $24.99 to $30.00. JCPenny's offers the lowest price for the system as of 2010.

So if you can't bring yourself to purchase the Nintendo Wii because of the price issues, playing the MySports Gaming System will suite just fine as well. It won't bring you the graphics and variety of games to choose from-but it will offer you stimulating game play, entertainment, and a good work-out. Ten to thirty dollars will be more affordable then putting down a few hundred.
