Wii've Had A Great Christmas...

I got one! I can't believe it, I was completely stunned and amazed. That's right ladies (lady) and gentlemen (gentleman), I got a Wii.

I first played one this summer and have wanted one ever since. I'm a total Nintendo Fanboy and have been since the NES. I just have always liked their games more than other systems. Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy (which later jumped ship and then returned), these are staples of the Nintendo experience. So far, I've owned all of the MAJOR Nintendo systems. Some hardcore fannies would argue that since I didn't have the Virtual Boy or since I skipped on the Gameboy Advance that I'm missing some. I however would disagree, while Virtual Boy was a completely different system it cannot be considered a major Nintendo system, it didn't have the selling power or the game base to justify it as major. The GBA on the other hand was a little more advanced (hence the name) than the GameBoy, but it can still be played on the Nintendo DS so I feel justified by my statement.

My favorite system thus far is still the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). I don't know maybe I'm sentimental about my childhood, but seriously the game play was amazing. Great innovative story lines, puzzles, quests, etc. The games were just too awesome. I do have to give credit to the N64 (Nintendo 64) in a world of 32 bit systems, it stood out. Unfortunately it was WAY ahead of it's time and got beat out in terms of sales by the Sony PlayStation.

Then something strange happened, as other consoles were focusing on mid-teens to adults, Nintendo went for the kids. Yes, I own a GameCube and honestly I love it. I do wish some of the games weren't so cheesey, but Nintendo still excels at game play.

... and now we have the Wii. How do I feel about it? So far I love it, I've only played a few hours and I only have the Wii Sports game that comes with it, but it has been a blast thus far. While the games still have a kiddie feel, the game play is completely out of this world.

I will probably be getting Super Mario Galaxy soon, I will update you as time goes on!
