Well, I ran home from school today to see the big Wii news, and when I got home, I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. If you've been following my blogs, you know I'm excited about the awesome possibilities the Wii brings to gameing, but I am really disappointed. Here's why: 1. $250 price tag. For the amount of power the Wii is going to offer, I'm kind of disappointed they weren't able to price the console at $199. 2. No mention of online gameplay . . . at all!. This has to be the biggest setback to me. With WiiConnect24 applications being such a prominent feature, you'd think Nintendo would set up some kind of decent online service for, if not Nintendo, 3rd parties to use. It would have been one thing if they said they were creating a lame PS2 online-like service, but there was absolutely no mention of an online service whatsoever! I've been into online games for a long time now, but lately (with the 360), it seems like playing a single player game is almost always a waste of time. At this point, I'd rather spend my money on 360 game/accessories.

In other ventures, I purchased NHL 07 yesterday, but have only gotten the chance to play it for a couple of hours so far. Subsequently, I'd like to hold off on judgment for another day. However, the one thing I will say is that EA online sucks!!! (even more then I suck at the game!)
