Nintendo Wii



Yesterday was tech overload with the Apple announcements and the Nintendo Wii. I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday but still wanted to give you an update. One of my co-workers has a Nintendo Wii and brought it in for us to play. The Wii rocks and I think anyone out there would enjoy playing it. The graphics are not perfect but they are not meant to be either. Some of the characters could use an improvement but that should happen in future games. Where the fun lies is within the controller. When you play sports games you need to make the motion with the controller to play. If you are playing tennis, you need to swing like you are serving, hitting a backhand etc. For baseball, you need to bat and pitch. Bowling was a little more tricky, you have the motion but setting curves kinda happens or you choose the direction before releasing. They make plastic cases in the shape of rackets, golf clubs, bats and steering wheels which would help out a lot. This system is much cheaper than the PS3 and X Box and is just as fun if not more. For someone like me who doesn't have the attention span to play a long, drawn out game, I like the Wii since its quick and easy. If you find yourself at a store with a demo, go over and try it. Yeah you look like an idiot doing so but its worth it.
