Anyway, I got my Wii maybe 3 weeks ago, and it really is fun!
So, to start out, the Wii ( according to the box ) comes with:
Wii,
Wii stand,
Wiimote,
Wiimote neoprone jacket,
Nunchuk,
Sensor Bar,
Wii AC Adapter,
Wii AV Cable,
and Wii sports.
It is good to start out, but when Wii Sports starts getting boring, or you want to play multiplayer, you have to get more stuff.

I will start out with the console itself. The Wii console is a small, sleek, white box about the size of a small box of chocolates. On the top ( when used vertically ) is a little door that covers the GameCube controller and memory card ports. ( That's right, in case you didn't know, you can play GameCube games on your Wii. ) On the front, there is the power button, the eject button, reset button, the disk slot, and another door which covers the SD card slot and the sync button, used for syncing the Wiimotes with the console. On the back, there are 2 USB ports, a fan, and the slots where you plug in the power adapter, AV cable, and sensor bar. Overall, the Wii is a small, sleek console that actually looks good.

The Wiimote / Nunchuk:
The Wiimote allows you to control your games with motions, instead of just tapping buttons. It is about the size of a small TV remote, but it is a bit thicker, and a bit skinnier. The Wiimote ( or Wii Remote ) has a ( going from the top of the Wiimote ) power button, D-pad, B Button, ( on back, kinda like the Z button on the N64 controller ) A button, Home button, -/+ buttons, speaker, 1 button, 2 button, and 4 LEDs on the bottom showing what player number that Wiimote is, or also is a battery indicator. The Wiimote, I have found, is quite accurate. The Nunchuk is also motion-sensitive, and it plugs into a port on the Wiimote.

Games / Other:
Since Wii Sports will likely be the first Wii game you will play on your new Wii, I will review that. Wii Sports comes with 5 games: Baseball, Tennis, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing.
Baseball: Basic, just batting, of pitching. Not bad, but not much.
Tennis: Pretty fun, just swinging the Wiimote.
Bowling: Quite fun, and you do use technique, instead of just swinging randomly.
Golf: Booooooooooringggggggg.
Boxing: This one you use the Nunchuk as another fist. This one is also quite fun.

Also, the graphics on the Wii are not High-Definition, so if you are looking for a system whose graphics just suck you in, you might not want to go with the Wii, but, considering that the Wii is the cheapest of the 3 main 7th gen. consoles, ( Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft xBox 360, Wii ) and it includes the motion-sensing abilities, it's really not that bad. The graphics are still quite good.

The Wii also includes wireless internet capabilities, so you can use applications like the Wii Shop Channel, which allows you to download games from older game consoles like the NES, or Sega Genesis. You can also download games specially for the Wii. To buy games and other channels like the Internet Channel, which allows you to surf the internet on your Wii, you have to buy Wii Points. 1 Wii Point is about equal to 1 cent.

Overall, the Wii system is very fun, and good for many people.
