Nintendo Wii

[islemaster]

So far, the Nintendo Wii is impressive and highly recommended. Nintendo seems to have turned out a really polished product. For everybody who doesn't read every video game news report that comes down the pipes, here's what's in the box:

• The console, stand, power adapter, RCA cables, sensor bar
  
• One Wiimote, complete with two AA batteries
  
• One

Good review.

Super Monkey Ball is really fun too, lots of random mini-games and good for lots of people. And Red Steel is fun, the sword fighting is amazing, and it's sweet playing a first person shooter where you get to control the gun with your hand.

I'm thinking about getting Super Monkey ball, especially when I get more controllers. I heard Red Steel was unique but actually pretty low-quality as a game.

Yeah it's not the best plot or anything, but damn if it wasn't the most fun I've had playing a console FPS since Goldeneye for the 64.

After putting some more time in with Zelda, my impressions remain about the same. The wolf controls great, the special finishing move I've got (the first of seven special techniques, it seems) is teriffic - adds just that little bit more finesse to the fighting. The first dungeon is tiny and the boss goes down really easy... but then, that was true of OOT as well.

Yeah, we can't get wireless in my apt. either. Back home, though, I'm dl'ing Bomberman '93 promptly. 5-player!
