Wiiiiiiiiiiiii!
I waited in line for hours to buy a Nintendo Wii
on Sunday. (The PS3 was about $200 beyond my price range, and didn't have any
games that thrilled me.)
The graphics
don't seem significantly different from a GameCube or PS2, but that's fine with
me. I think focusing on awesomeness can detract attention to gameplay and fun
-- and they're much more important.
It
was pretty cool that the Wii has wifi built in, and automatically attached
itself to the internet. There seems to be a lot of potential group stuff, but
it doesn't look implemented yet.
The
Wiimote is a radically different controller. Boxing with a controller in either
hand, raising and jabbing with them to block and punch, was pretty fun.
The only game I got was Zelda. I'll
probably stick to renting for other games -- after I get tired of
Zelda.
Anybody else who gets a Wii:
email me -- I want to experiment with Wii friends and the like.
