YEAH, I bought a wii!!!

K, I didn't do anything that I said I would, and it was due to 2 events, one cheerful, one awful.

Reason #1: I got a Wii!

Even though I've been a gamer for almost all my life, I never had anything Nintendo. I bought NDS at it's launch some years ago only to play GBA games, but I never really used it and later gave it to brother (Well, Actually sold it to my brother). Besides that, Wii is my first Nintendo Console. I had several reasons to buy it:

1: Five Resident Evil Games:
I'm a huge RE fan, so These REs were one of the major reasons for me to buy the console. It has:
1-a high quality, bonus content filled, motion control aiming & stabbing, and reloading Resident Evil 4.
2-a redesigned Resident Evil 1, originally released for GameCube and later ported to Wii.
3-a re-released Resident Evil 0, with the plot line set before the events in RE1.
4-a rail-shooter that chronicles the plots in RE universe: "The Umbrella Chronicles".
5-another rail-shooter that reuses the locals in RE2 and Code Veronica: "The Darkside Chronicles".

2: GameCube Games:
I never had GameCube, So I couldn't play it's exclusive games. Now I can play Wind Waker, Metroid 1&2, GC Mario games and much more thanks to Wii's GC compatibility.

3: Exclusive Wii Games:
Wii games are good too, and among those that I personally like, I should mention Twilight Princess, Metroid 3 and Mario Galaxy.

4: It's relatively Cheap:
PS3 is way better, but also way more expensive. I can't afford a "3" at this time. Maybe later.

5: Motion Control:
Yeah, It's fun. But It's kinda ironic that it's the last reason for me to buy a console which was based on motion control in the first place.

So I went to a store and bought these:
Wii (couldn't you tell?)
Extra Controller and Nun-chuck
Wii motion plus (I don't have any games to play with it yet, but I might get PGA10)
Wii Zapper (to play rail-shooting REs & other games)
Component cables (To get the most graphics outa my wii)
GC Contoller & Memory Card

After I got home I installed the motion-capture sensor on our HDTV and started playing Wii Sports (bundled on wii) with my brother and later with some my relatives who were staying at our house at that time.
Tennis was the most enjoyable mini-game and Golf was also fine. playing Boxing for 5 minutes left me with numb arms for the rest of the day, I couldn't aim the bowling ball no matter what, and Baseball was simply the worst: Instead of waving you Wii remote like an actual bat, it would be better to make simple quick tiny wiggle (impossible to do with actual baseball bat) to score a home run.
To summarize it all: Wii Sports is a fun game, specially if you're with some friends.

Other games I played were Resident Evil (I was shocked when I saw how improved it was over the PS1 RE, a true "Redesign"), RE4 (difficult to grasp, but after you get the controls you'll realize that motion-control aiming is superior to Analog sticks (specially since the PC RE4 (which I played before) didn't use mouse for aiming)), and Wind Waker (to test GC compatibility, I'm not gonna play it for now)

Reason #2: I got sick!

Yeah, and it's the worst kinda sickness. I couldn't walk for a whole day, and I lost another day just watching movies and anime because I couldn't do anything else. But I'll make it up (hopefully) this week. Also I hope I'll be fine by the end of the week, however it might take more...

SEE YA NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!

Picture of the Day:
I got it.
