Nintendo Wii

Dude, is it because you live in your parents basement, and only come out to go to work?

Probably. Though I do tend to venture out on the weekends, but mainly to drink alcoholic beverages.

I feel like the only person who has absolutely no desire to play games on it let alone buy it. I guess I just feel like the motion controller is a fad that I don't really see lasting, but I'm probably wrong.

Everyone said the same thing about parachute pants back in the 80s, and clearly they were wrong about that.

and don't forget about HyperColor T-shirts in the early 90's.

Yeah for me Thursday to Saturday nights including severe amounts of alcohol and a night of drunk Wiiage.

Hell yeah! I still have one. The color changing doesn't work anymore though. :(

600th post, Wii Rant.

For all of the Wii haters that are afraid about looking stupid playing the system, or think it is just for kids, you have to try it. I have converted every one of my friends who made fun of me for buying one.

Zelda is pretty cool. I havent played it as much as my other games, but it is supposed to be the deepest Zelda yet, and I have really enjoyed the conrtols so far.

I also have Red Steel. It is a bit tricky to get used to but the multiplayer is pretty cool, and I actually feel like I have a mouse in my hand and am playing a FPS on a computer.

Mostly I have been playing Wii Sports with various friends. The bowling is the best of the games. The other four (Tennis, Boxing, Baseball, and Golf) are fun as well, but they aren't as much fun for everyone. Anyone can bowl. I was able to teach a four year old how to bowl, and my parents who are in their mid 50's enjoyed it too.

The main reason I bought it was for the ability to download all of the classic games. Granted I know there are emulators and they are free, but its hard to play two player on emulators in front of a computer. Also the systems available for download are NES, SNES, N64, Sega, and TurboGrafx-16. Each Monday they are rolling out the new games available for download.

Overall if your an Xbox360 fan, then you already have your mind made up. And you probably would hate the Wii. But for the multiplayer and fun for everyone I would say the Wii is the system of choice.

I'm going to get one for my lady... She hates video games but we tried it in the store and she played it for about half an hour, after which I had to make her stop so the kid behind us could give it a shot. Honestly, I have no interest in playing traditional games on the Wii but if they can come up with new concepts to take advantage of the controller, then why not? I think FPS would be an awesome format for the Wii as long as you can aim the damn thing... I'm surprised to hear that Madden is fun on it as I thought it would be annoying to make the throwing motion. By the way, how is that Red Steel game? I remember reading about it and thinking it would be cool to virtually sword fight...

Not that i have my mind made up with the 360 its just i dont want to come home from lax practice and do a workout when im trying to relax, i can see the charlie horses now.
