I was finally lucky enough to get my hands on a Nintendo Wii. Some people at work had a line on some that they needed for a giveaway and I was able to get the last one at a local Walmart. I’m still stumped as to why on earth these things are still so hard to get, but they are. I ended up paying about $325 for the Wii Console and a second Wiimote and Nunchuck. The first night, I think I played Wii sports for about 6 hours. Man was I sore the next morning. Funny how you try to play the sports like you would in real life. Reminds me of Morpheus asking Neo, “Do you think that’s air you’re breathing?”

Now I have the new Zelda game, which is fun, but hard. It also takes a lot of time to play, which I don’t have a lot of. We’re also borrowing a copy of Mario Party 8, which is kind of silly but is fun to play with friends. I can imagine its hilarious as part of a party or something. I’d like to get a couple more “group” type games like Super Smash Brothers Brawl or Mario Galaxy. I think the game prices are fairly reasonable, but I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself.

Anyway, if you’re lucky enough to find one in a store, I’d definitely get one. Its worth the money!
