KIDS FIRST! now accepts Nintendo Wii games for review. To celebrate this new venture, KIDS FIRST! is offering discounted submissions for any Wii titles submitted by between now and September 1, 2009. Anyone submitting Wii titles will receive a member\u2019s rate even if they are a non-member.<\/p>\n<p>Already this summer KIDS FIRST! jurors have been getting interactive with visual media as they review games for the Nintendo Wii. This move has been a great hit with both adult and child jurors. Each title provides many hours and days of entertainment as the kids and grownups grab their Wii remotes and get off the couch to learn how to become a band leader in \u201cMajor Minor&#8217;s Majestic March;\u201d how to climb trees quickly in \u201cGo Play Lumberjacks;\u201d how to do tricks on the trampoline in \u201cGo Play Circus Star;\u201d and how to get their groove on in \u201cDance Dance Revolution Disney Grooves\u201d and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>The Wii craze is taking the nation. Sales last Christmas for this family gaming system sky-rocketed, despite the troubled economy. Schools have Wii gaming competitions for fundraisers and libraries gather groups for some relaxing play time. With the ever-growing popularity of the games, we at KIDS FIRST! feel it\u2019s important to support the family-friendly media kids interact with.
