I don't know about anyone else out there, but personally I am really excited about the new Nintendo Wii. Why? My excitement can easily be summed up in a single phrase, backwards compatibility. I know that alot of people probably could care less about playing some of their old Nintendo favorites, but there are a few titles that I believe still have life left in them, and heres hoping that the Nintendo Wii treats them right.

Okay enough beating around the bush, the real reason I am excited about the Wii is, of course, 007 Golden Eye. Golden Eye is the only reason me and my friends retain copys of the Nintendo 64, I mean sure Diddy Kong racing was cool and all, but Golden Eye is where it's at. I am not really sure what Nintendo's plans are in respect to the game, or even if it will ever be availible on the Wii, but hey, heres hoping.

If I had my wish, not only would 007 Golden Eye be available on the Wii, but also that the game would be upgraded, perhaps not graphically , but in terms of ONLINE play! I am not talking about something crazy like 16 players, I just would like the ability to play Golden Eye online with up to 4 players. Ahh that would be perfect, I can already imagine campers in the facility bathrooms, setting up proxy mines and remote mines, just waiting for some online noob to stumble in. Oh yeah, life would be perfect. Shoot I would buy the Wii just for that game.
