I have had my Wii for a little over a week now, and I do love it dearly. In my opinion, it is the perfect system for my generation - the one that was raised with a bottle in one hand and a video game controller in the other hand.
Right now I could care less about graphic innovation, home entertainment or anything that the others are pitching. What I want is something that is fun to play which Wii wins at hands down.
One aspect that I didn’t think would be so damn addictive is downloading the Virtual Console titles. I download one, play it for a while and say.. “Gee, I sure would like to play that” and download another, then another, then well.. just one more. Ok, this will be the last one I promise! I am at the point where I think I may just have to set myself aside a “Wii budget” so I am not tempted to go overboard.
One more money related issue that bugs me about the Wii is that they sell the nunchuk and the Wii-mote as two different (and expensive) controllers. As far as controllers go I have 2 Wii-motes, 2 nunchuks, and 2 “classic” controllers. This way I figure I’ll get half of my controller costs out of the way. Spending $40 for the Wii-mote and then $20 for a nunchuk seems to be a little ‘bit of a money grab to me.
Well damn you Nintendo and your gaming goodness, you grabbed me. Now I’m off to go wait curb side for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to be delivered… what are you talking about, I don’t have a problem!
