Wii have lift off

It's here, the Wii is in the U.K at last! Now I've just gotta find one, I hope it's easier to find here than it is in the U.S.

I'll find out whether I have one in 16 days, if not I'll try and get one after Christmas. The U.K launch vid was quite good but it was nowhere near the length of the U.S launch, I dunno whether Nintendo had a more special show or something but I would have liked to see that kind of length for the U.k one.

Well, I can no longer do a Wii countdown thing so I will have to wait for March so I can do a PS3 countdown, oh man Maarch is so far away.

4 Days Left!

At last four more days and the British gamers will finally be able to get their hands on the Nintendo Wii! Although I won't be getting one until Christmas I can still marvel at the fact that we are getting the Wii.

I don't think demand is as high here in the U.K as it is in the U.S.A so it should be easier to get one, I hope. I don't ever think I have seen someone camp out in the U.K before especially not in Manchester,

Well this blog is just symbolizing how excited I am about the Wii, Happy gaming!

I want a Wii

O.K since I don't live in the U.S of A, I need to wait a bit longer to get my hands on the Nintendo Wii.

Of course it being released in the U.S.A first is kind of good as the guys at gamespot can tell us how well games play and how responsive the controller is. So far the Wii look very good and has some great games which I consider getting for Christmas such as Zelda and Monkey ball,

Speaking of that the games I want have scored more than 8.0 on Gamespot except for Red Steel, which I was sort of shocked with the review score, guess it didn't live up to expectations.

Anyhow what is all this stuff with Jeff's Twilight Princess review. Why does everybody criticize him for that one review, he has typed some great reviews in the past so why is this one so different? Anyhow I like the score it got as it is firm, firm but fair.

O.K so I want a Wii and am really looking forward to it. By the way, we get Wii play before you, you Americans, ha ha. Ahem sorry about that we never get games before you and I am just so excited.

NOTE: I have neighbourly emblem now.

The we just got a Wii marathon

Hey everyone, I just watched the we just got a Wii marathon and I must say that it was a lot of fun to watch. The content was good although I could of done with some more Red Steel but I guess that was covered on On The Spot.

The main Highlight for me was the fact that it shown Twilight Princess. The thing that I found was good was that Alex Navarro was playing it. He has had no experience with the Wii version of the game so he could give us a good, honest opinion. Alex seemed that he was enjoying it and so did the rest of the crew, can't wait to get my hands on that one.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz looked fun. It seems that is a game that can only be fully enjoyed if you have friends around or play it on-line. I have not seen the Single player adventure but from what I've seen so far the game looks promising with a few good party games.

Excite Truck was good and looked fun. The thing that bothered me though was the fact that in a couple of months time after the Wii has been released games exactly like this, using the same mechanic will be made and could possibly be better. Although Excite Truck will be the first of its kind.

Wii Sports looked fun and Rich Gallup said it was more fun if you were standing up, which makes it all the more promising! Anyhow the game that look most appealing to me out of the five is Wii Boxing and everyone on the show said how much they enjoyed it. Wii Fitness? What's that about? Is it the same as Brain age but you do all the sports on the disc? Well I will have to wait to find out.

Overall the show provided me with some great insight on how the Wii works and how much fun people will get out of it. It was very helpful, Thank you Gamespot and great show!
