We had our first two ulti games last night! I'm very proud of the team this year... We lost a closely contested first game (8-10) and won the second game easilly (13-7).

Given the hype etc, I've decided to put together a series of posts talking about Nintendo's latest console and my experience with it. In this first one, I'll address the launch day.
