Yes, I know the title sucks, too bad for you.
ANYway, last night, thanks to Jenny being so adept at eBay, I had a chance to get my hands on a Wii. Now, she has Zelda, and some other games, but we just did the Wii Sports thing. Even set up a Mii.
I have never had that much fun playing video games. The tennis, the bowling, baseball, all of it were fun. Not because of the graphics quality or HD or any techno-bullshit, but because for the tennis, I was jumping around like Bjorn Borg's retarded cousin, Bowling like I had a bad twitch, and the baseball was just laughable. But I was PLAYING.
Not sitting on a couch hoping I could get to a save point before my thumbs cramped, or trying to remember what comes after R1-R1-L2. But playing. Jumping around. Giggling even. It was really quite fun, and there's no "standard" video game that comes close. There's nothing on a PS3 or a XBox 360 that comes close to the fun of Wii Tennis or bowling. Dude, you can throw the ball BACKWARDS in Wii Bowling, and everyone jumps. How cool is that? They now have a game where you can be a surgeon.
Surgery...with a Wiimote. So wrong, yet, so much fun.
Yeah, Nintendo rules, because after the endless race for the top of the technophile heap, they weren't afraid to...
think different
Rock on.
