My Nintendo Wii is finally here! It actually came in 2 days ago, but I’ve also been busy with other things at the same time, and even though I only have one game (Wii Sports) for it at the moment, It is so much fun! I’ve been playing Tennis, Baseball, and Golf the most, it really is interactive and addicting, and it definitely is all the hype they advertised.
And seeing that I’ve had some time the past few days to play around with my Wii, I’ve played with some of the online capabilities, such as the Wii Friend’s List, Yes it is a little clunky seeing that you have to exchange Wii Numbers (I have my nephew on there) but once you are on the list you stay there. Then the Mii Channel I’ve created and sent my Mii to my nephew and he sent me his, It was really easy you just drag your Mii to an envelope and he’s on his way! Then the Wii Shop I’ve downloaded some of the virtual console games from SNES, N64, and Turbo-Grafx 16, and they run really smooth. And there’s also a Photo Channel where you can share/post photos from an SD Memory Card to the Wii Message board so your friends on your list can see your photos.
Overall I’m really enjoying the Nintendo Wii for what it is…Interactive Fun and Entertainment, it’s a definite needed and refreshing change from other consoles, and it works as advertised. The controllers are definitely not just a gimmick they are a real part of the game, and they really make you feel like you are part of the game. Plus it burns calories, gets you up off the chair, and it beats just sitting twiddling your fingers and thumbs on a controller right? Well enough with the babble on to the pictures, and back to my Wii! Enjoy
