I Bought A Wii

So, I bought a Wii. Why? Well, there are simply some games I really want to play that have only been released on the Wii. I don’t really understand why because the Xbox 360 and PS3 are both beyond capable of handling anything the Wii can, but that’s not my business decision to make. Games like No More Heroes 2, Sin and Punishment: Star Successor, Punch-Out!, Rune Factory: Frontier, Monster Hunter Tri, Metal Slug Anthology, etc. There’s also some WiiWare and Virtual Console stuff I wouldn’t mind having. This doesn’t change my disposition on “waggle gaming” that’s become so incredibly common (and somehow popular) with the Wii (I don’t like it). The experience should be interesting, assuming the thing doesn’t break. I personally know someone who has gone through five Wiis now and, because of the horrible way Nintendo handles accounts/DRM/whathaveyou, all of his purchases from the WiiWare/Virtual Console go down the drain with the console since they’re not actually tied to any one account. Absolutely dreaded way to handle that stuff, but there’s nothing you can do.

I feel like I had a lot more to post about but all this overtime is really frying my brain. I surge in between a raging fire and a tiny fizzle that’s really tired and wants to go to bed at 8 o’clock.

I think The Last Airbender might get the worst score of all time over on Rotten Tomatoes. As of this post, it has a 6% rating which is the absolute worst I’ve ever seen a movie get on that site. The really bad part? My taste is generally dead on with the scores that films get over there and I was interested in The Last Airbender…

    For as many good games as there are on the Wii (or at least will be) I just can’t bring myself to buy one. I feel like buying a Wii is kinda like buying one of the multi-colored xylophones that every kid growing up in the 80′s had (or wanted). Even though it’s not – I can’t help but think of it as a toy.

    It’s too bad about The Last Airbender too – I was looking forward to it as well but no way i’ll be seeing it now.
