After months of pondering which video game system to get, we finally made the plunge and got a Wii (sorry Ahan). It’s made by Nintendo. I absolutely love it. For years and years I longed for another Atari. My video gaming skills never made it past the Atari. All the other video game consoles are pretty difficult for me to work. There must be some kind of disconnect in my brain, because I really have tried using all of these systems (Nintendo, Playstation, and X-box). With the Wii, you use a controller in a way that is interactive with the t.v. Swinging the controller this way and that with little button pressing is much more my style compared to “up, down, up down, A, B, A” stuff that has to be done out of pure memorization.
There are many good things about the Wii.
1. It can connect with the internet.
2. You can get current news (national and international) and weather updates.
3. The Mii channel is where you can create different characters. I have already created characters for most of Morrison-Newman-Mesner clan. I know it sounds a little silly, but seeing all the miis (characters I’ve created) on the t.v. screen doesn’t make me feel so lonely when I see my mii interact with all the other miis on the t.v. screen. Now we only have to meet people in real life to add more characters (and have an actual social life).
4. You can look at photos on the Wii with an SD card.
We’re not the type of people to sit down for hours playing video games, but this Wii was a nice gift for both of us. Jason’s working hard at his new job. I’m working hard at my job and studying for the NP boards. We both have been scurrying to get rid of excess boxes throughout the condo before Ryan and Laura come. I have created a nice outlet for us to blow some steam off throughout the week.
If you have a Wii, please feel free to email us your console number (it looks like a credit card number). I will be happy to email back to you our console number so we can exchange info via the Wii.
Sorry. No pictures of us, yet, playing the Wii. We will try and provide some pictures soon.
