Wii World

My brand new toy has arrived yesterday and since then I had some time to use it. I must say that I'm very impressed with this small piece of equipment.

My last game console was an old Sega MasterSystem (Yes that was a long long long time ago). Since then I've mostly played games on my PC. I'm not a huge gamer. I'm a tiny gamer. Before my baby was born I played few games a week of Age of Empires or Rise of Nations or few other games. It has been nearly nine months since my last game play! Wii brings a lot of new interesting things to the game experience. For one, it is the first time ever that I've played a computer game with my wife (well not true, we played Yahoo Pool sometimes). The fact that you have to move around to play Wii games is a huge plus. It is a lot of fun! More so than I have expected.

Other cool features include the internet channel which you can freely download from the Wii store. It is essentially an Opera browser for Wii. With it you can surf the web right from Wii. That may not be that exciting but if you go to sites like Stumble TV where you can stream videos from YouTube right on your big TV, it quickly becomes super cool!

There are many other cool things in Wii. You can play Nintendo GameCube games, you can download old games from old game systems, and lots more!

Very cool toy indeed.

Wii Debate

I don't know why, but I think I want one.

Before I go out and spend money on this cool looking thing, I need to make sure I really want it. I have to get something for Father's day or Julia (my wife see her blog here) will kill me.

Reasons to buy it

  1. It looks so pretty!
  2. Everyone else says it is great!
  3. You have to move to play the games!

Reasons not to buy it

  1. It's not available anywhere!!! My goodness it is impossible to find this thing in a store
  2. Since my daughter was born I haven't played a single computer game.
  3. All it does it play games, why not get something that is also a DVD player etc...

I'm sure both lists will grow. For now I am still undecided.

Update

I have now officially bought Wii. I bought it online and it should arrive by the end of the week. YAY!
