It's finally happened. I have at last moved into the modern gaming age and bought myself a Wii! Hurray! I've wanted one for quite some time now but due to a heavy workload I didn't really want to distract myself with its awesomeness (which would have happened, I can assure you ^^). Now that has all finished I felt the time was right so I wasted no time in getting one and I'm already loving it.

A friend of mine actually lent me his for a while a few month ago so I was already pretty familiar with the system. Even though it isn't anywhere near as powerful as, say, the 360 or PS3, it is certainly the most unique, which I've always liked about it. Nintendo went in such a different direction with it compared to their rivals and took a big gamble in the process. If that controller hadn’t work properly or people didn't respond to it the whole project would have fallen apart. Without that element the Wii is completely pointless as it has nothing else to fall back on. As we know however the Wii has been phenomenally successful and my admiration for Nintendo continues to grow. They were willing to take a risk and try something new and because of that I respect them hugely.
So far I only have Wii Sports (obviously), Wii Play and Zelda: Twilight Princess so I still have quite a way to go to build up my game library. I've just ordered Guitar Hero 3 as well simply because the track list for the game is so awesome! I wanna play me some Sex Pistols and Guns N Roses, man! XD I've also got the classic controller arriving soon too, which I'm really looking forward too. Some of the retro games available in the Wii store are just brilliant! I can wait to download some of them and get all nostalgic
So basically, my summer is now sorted. There is no longer a reason for me to leave my room (apart from food and answering the call of nature, of course ^^). If anyone has any suggestions about stuff I should get then pleased let me know.
