I need a wii wii

I had my first play with the nintendo wii this weekend, and what can I say It's really good fun.

Thanks to Glenn, my little leprechaun gadget fiend friend, who always gets the newest games and gadgets straight away (ie spoilt bastard :)). I had a few hours play on his wii, he had wii sports, wii play, raving rabbids and zelda.

Okay first impressions are ooh this feels really weird, followed by wow this is so cool why has it taken so long for someone to come up with this idea.

The controller is great it's really responsive, a big concern of mine was whether it would actually feel right, this was put to rest as it does feel and respond well.

The unit itself is tiny and much like the ds lite it feels very "apple" like in its design and packaging, that's no bad thing.

The mini games are great the graphics are very simple and stylized but lets face it it's all about the interface and the wii-mote rocks. It's worth buying one just as a bowling simulator for parties at home. You really do have to use your body particularly your arms to play some of these games, I don't think it'll be long before the first blimp sized yank files a lawsuit for making him tired or giving them a heart attack

I will definitely be considering one of these as a second console if Diane considered such a thing feasible in this house. Actually that's rubbish as we've already got 4 games machines in use already. So let's just make it 5.

Just remember to keep tight hold of the controller or you might end up like the picture above.
