Wii... the Game for Family

Since young, I long to own an electronic game... be it PlayStation, Nintendo or just a simple portable gaming machine. Whenever I see people playing their games, I silently or even verbally (to Ling) vowed that I wanted to buy one.

Just a few months back, when my colleague told me that she got a PSP, I was so tempted to buy one! Reason for holding back was that I knew (ok, someone give me an independent honest and open opinion) I wasn’t going to make use of it often. My many used-for-a-while items served as a reminder of my buy-buy-buy habit…

I got to know about Nintendo Wii from my 2nd Bro’s blog. Hence, I went to do some research of what Wii offers. PS3 and X-Box 360 were the other choices. When I visited the game shop on 4.7.08, I wasn’t too impressed with the Wii games available… too cartoon for a grown up like me. After a while, I decided that perhaps the PS3 would be a better choice. Luckily, the Sales person highlighted the one impt benefit of Wii which is also written on Nintendo’s webpage “Wii is not just a gaming console, it's a reason to get together with your friends and family and play today's hottest games.”

That’s it! I bought the Nintendo Wii without much hestitation. I hope that my family and relatives would enjoy the time spend together playing Wii. I’ll also bring the Wii set (when possible) along for all to enjoy during family gatherings.

Lastly, the cartoony games have far exceeded my expectations and I’ve lost some weight in the process of gaming. I’ll share my experiences of Wii gaming in my next post :)
