A one-day reaction to Nintendo Wii
March 27th 2007 02:32
The console I scored on eBay came today, and I am quite impressed. I have Wii Sports and a few GameCube games.
The backward compatibility with GameCube is quite nice -- I love Resident Evil 4, and it also gives me the option of gaming on the cheap (used games rule) until Wii games start coming down in price.
Wii Sports itself is an excellent showcase for what the console can accomplish. Boxing is a workout, and the tennis, baseball and bowling ones work well too. The one problem is that the game is easy to trick -- for example, in tennis, you don't even have to use the correct backhand/forehand swing. And in boxing, sometimes the machine interprets your body shifting as a punch.
Also looking forward to using Virtual Console to download some old NES games.
My arm is really sore right now. This might be the first generation of gamers to come out in shape.
