Wii Got One!

Well, our tax refund, of a generous nature (thank you, Thomas!) DID indeed roll in, and so we treated ourselves to a Wii! For those TWO of you out there living cozily under a rock, Wii is the latest Nintendo game system, which is very much "all the rage!" What i didn't realize (and here's where I come crawling out from under that rock) is that this system has been out for about 2 years and easily has 600+ games in its family!!! I had NO idea.

Well, we knew we wanted the WiiFit game. That's not happening. Everyone in the world wants that now, and after doing a preliminary and casual hunting, I came up empty. Which is okay for now, cause with the system, you get WiiSports, which has 5 games: tennis (Dad?!), bowling, baseball, golf and boxing. I've only tinkered with tennis, bowling and boxing. Then we got WiiPlay, which came with another needed remote, and that has 9 games (including table tennis, fishing, billiards). We also got a used game that highlights the "oldies", Pac-Man themed. I mostly got that for Ron, but i had fun with it last night.

This is fun! This is HISTORICAL! Ron's friend Tim pointed out that this is the first game system that Ron (we) have ever bought NEW! Or CURRENT!!! Before this Wii, Ron was happily playing (and will continue to, i'm sure) Super Nintendo, 1990.
