It doesn't feel like a year, it hardly feels like half a year, but on this day exactly one year ago, I got the Nintendo Wii. Was it worth it? Heck yeah. Is it everything I hoped it would be? Kind of. The Wii is awesome, and in and of itself it's an incredible machine. Games like Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess prove that. The problem is that there simply aren't enough great games for it. If I had the money I would pick up games like Metroid Prime 3 (whichI will definitely be buying eventually), Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Ghost Squad, maybe evenZack & Wiki, but it's just not worth it. Most of you are probably thinking, "It's Christmas stupid,what are gifts for anyway?!" but that's another reason why they're not worth it.
As planned, I will be getting an Xbox 360 for Christmas (i.e. - in less than 24 hours).As you could haveimagined, I'm super pumped. I'm getting the Pro Holiday Bundle which includes Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I'll definitely play Forza, not sure I'll dig into Marvel too much though.
I've already got Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and an extra controller. I've also got Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (which I'm rentingfor an extended period of time), andwill be getting Call of Duty 2tomorrow. I'll also be getting a 3 month XBL card.
So now how does this relate to the Wii again? Let's try explaining with a check list ...
Why OhhSnap Can't Get Any New Wii Games For A Very Long Time ![]()
1: OhhSnap has no money.
2: OhhSnap will not have any extra money from Chritmas.
3: OhhSnap will not be getting any Wii games for Christmas.
4: OhhSnap is getting an Xbox 360 and will use any money he has to buy games for it.
5: Wii games don't support "speaking in the third person" which OhhSnap is dissapointed by.
... I have no idea how I got onto this topic. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy the food. Enjoy the company. Enjoy the presents. But most of all, don't forget the reason for the season. Jesus Christ's birth.
