I got my Wii yesterday after much anticipation. It rocks! Although I knew it would by playing with other people’s, but…having it right there is even cooler.

Setup went really well, except for the minor hitch where I plugged in the audio cables into my TVs inputs for AV instead of the ones for the component cables. I need to get a switcher so I can change between the Wii and my PS2.

I played a lot of Rayman last night, trying to unlock games for the Wii gatherings that I’m going to be having coming up here soonish with my family. Those racing minigames are killing me. I also played some Madden 07 which makes really good use of the Wiimote and nunchuck controls. I lost the game, but it was a fun loss. My only complaint about Madden is that the kicking is a little…weird.

After that I played more Zelda. I had a saved game which I had been playing over at my friends house, but I decided to start fresh so I could get better acquainted with the controls. I’m almost back to where I was on my other save right now, and my plan worked…I definitely know where thing’s are located better now.

So, all in all…two thumbs way up on the Wii. I’m really glad I spent the money on it.

This seems to be my pattern too, getting a brand new console right before Christmas. I got my PS2 about this same time last year too.

My friends code would be 5712 9739 8199 4949, for reference
