Wiiiiiii

February 19, 2007 – 10:12 pm

I have a Wii, in fact I have owned one for 2 months now. I like almost everything about; its small and quiet, unpretentious, and has great functionality. Although it is not as powerful as the other “next-gen” consoles (the Xbox360 and the soon-to-be-released-in-this-market PS3), I actually find this to be somewhat of a plus since I do not have the HiDef TV screen that is needed to take advantage of the more expensive competitors.

The Wii controller (or wiimote, if you prefer whimsey) is a work of design genius. Easy to hold in a variety of positions, the motion sensing works fantastically well. Even better is that the controller works as an accurate pointing device, this opens up a whole lot of gameplay options and makes things like the Wii web browser work very smoothly.

Unfortunately, despite lots of potential, there are not a lot of good games out for the Wii yet. I have Wii Sports (which comes with the machine and is excellent) and Ramond’s Rayman Raving Rabbits Rabbids, which is good if uneven. Excite Truck comes out in a weeks time, so I will probably grab that if only to see how well the controller works as a steering wheel.

For those wishing get a lot of Miis in their Mii parade, my Wii Code is:

Either leave a comment with your Wii code, or email it to me and I will add you to my address book. Lets get those Miis marching!

  2. Agreed, Wii is awesome.

    Also, the game’s called Rayman Raving Rabbids, not Raymond’s Raving Rabbits

  3. You are right, I have fixed it now.

  4. Um, it’s Rayman, not Ramond.

    Now all you need is Zelda!

  5. RRR is an OK game, but I care about it so little that I got 66.6% of its title wrong.
    I am holding off on Zelda for the moment, mainly so I can be cheap and borrow it off somebody who is sick of it.

    ps: are you sick of Zelda yet?
