Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
jewel July 8th, 2007
Yesterday I was doing my normal shopping in Target when I happened by the electronics section and they actually had a few Wii’s in stock! It wasn’t on my list of things to buy, but we’ve been wanting one since they came out so, yep, I bought one.
We set it up and started playing. First you need to make your Wii Mii avatar – which is much fun in and of itself – and then you’re ready to play.
What absolute fun! We invited a friend over and spent a few hours playing the bowling game that came with it. I actually feel sore this morning from it. LOL. It is possible to get a bit of a workout playing a video game. Who knew! Of course you can set the remote to be really sensitive so that you don’t need to actually move while you play, but what’s the fun in that??
Quite a few games came with the console (Wii Sports):
- Boxing – ok fun, but tiring very quickly. Good upper body exercise.
- Golf – I’m not much for golf IRL, but the game is pretty fun.
- Tennis – It’s doubles tennis, so if you don’t have 4 players you can choose to control both the players on your side of the net or have the console control one of them.
- Baseball – I haven’t played this one at all yet.
Now we’re looking for other fun games to play on our new Wii. I love how the remote works.
