OK, I've decided
« on: January 16, 2007, 08:53:06 PM »
I finally got around to playing a Nintendo Wii the other night and I'm hooked. They're so fun. They bring me back to the good old NES days.

I played one the other day, pretty fun but I don't know if I'll buy one.

Cheez: has the novelty worn off yet? Or is it still something you play a lot...

I haven't played it a ton lately, but no, the novelty is still there when you do play.  I had a New Years party and it was rockin the whole time.

I just read an article claiming a guy lost 9 pounds by playing his Wii for 30min every day using full motion for the actions.

My CEO said a couple of the local stores are supposed to get some stock in this Sunday so I'll be swinging by in the morning to see if I can nab one.

Caved in and joined the Wii gang today (actually, it was for my sons birthday).

I'm hoping to get my hands on one tomorrow. I've got some Bestbuy gift cards that really aren't much good right now otherwise.
If anyone knows a place to get controllers let me know.

Best Buy, Toys R Us, EB, the usual suspects.  I'd check with workers at the stores to see when they get their shipments in.

I picked up Warioware the other night.  You have to beat it to unlock the multiplayer, but that looks like it'll be hilarious.  Finishing the single player only took me about 2 hours anyway.

True.

Japanese games often have a very unique and easily identifiable way about them.

Sup with that?  Must be all of that really cool animation?

I finally have my Wii. Target had a big shipment this morning and I went early and was able to get my hands on one finally. Looks like the Wii dry spell may be coming to a close. They had like 75 of them and I came right at opening time and was only number 24.

Now I can finally play Zelda after it sitting in it's box for weeks.

I think the BluRay has a lot to do with that.
