I own a Wii, making me the owner of all 3 consoles. :) I didn't think I could actually pull it off, since the consoles this gen have been massively expensive. Not just that, but games are slightly more expensive than they used to be. Some games being $110 at retail pricing. This does call for concern next gen though, I don't see the consoles being in the same price range as this gen. It is becoming harder and harder at being a gamer... well maybe it is just being an Australian Gamer... well on to the Wii part of this blog :P

There is really 2 reasons why I have one. 1) I saw it for a great price, the lowest I have ever seen a Wii for actually. 2) My birthday is coming up :)

I shouldn't really be playing around with it, but I just couldn't help myself. After picking up the box, and looking at the box proudly, I gave into temptation :P Basically, I have no games for it, as the deal only came with one shovelware game. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I honestly wouldn't care if it came with 4 shovelware games. At the moment, I have just been playing around with it, getting used to motion gaming, the dashboard, standard definition and just getting familar with the console. The wii-mote is actually surprisingly comfortable. I didn't think it would be, but it is and would go far to say that it is the most comfortable controller of the 3 consoles O_O.

I have been playing Wii Sports, and even though I don't like sports games, I still thought this game could have been a lot better. While it is great for a multiplayer game, it doesn't offer much or anything at all for a singleplayer experience. I am not sure if I should even be reviewing it as a game, as it feels more like a motion control demo than anything. Considering it comes free with every console, I guess that was the intention anyway. Also, I have been very paranoid about the wii-mote being flung onto the TV, I have heard horror stories about LCD TV's being destroyed because of it. I had a scare the other day, when my sister accidentally did throw the wii-mote. Luckily it went flying upwards instead of forwards, but I can tell you, I was a bit shaken up. I have been wearing the strap as tight as possible ever since :lol:

I find the channels a pretty interesting idea for a dashboard. It is a bit disappointing that the Wii doesn't have as big HDD like the other consoles if you could call it a HDD? Also the fact that it only accepts 2GB SD cards... or so the manual says. I tried my 4GB SD card and it worked, in your face manual! :evil: I was playing around with a channel called the voting channel, and felt lame getting amused by just voting in a poll. :oops:

So yeah, I don't have any of the good games for the Wii, and never realised this before but there are so many games I want for it. I am not going to play any soon, I am going to wait till my birthday, just to make the day that extra bit special and traditional :) Oh and I really want to play my GC games as well, but I can't find my GC controllers. :cry: I have been cleaning my room in hopes that I may come across them, no luck yet. :(

Well I thought I would make another blog and update you guys with this milestone (also been awhile since I made a blog :shock: ). :) Just goes to show, Manticores do still exist. :D
