Aehso’s Output

Horray, I ended up spending a significant chunk of a day off work playing my new Wii.  It really is that much fun, though I clearly have my work cut out – my Mii’s fitness age in Wii Sports is 80.  I’d work on improving that but the game only lets you train once a day.  All in all Wii Sports is just a great game, even popping up sensible suggestions to take occasional breaks, (the suggestion dialog even has a nice wind-blowing-in-an-open-window image).  Curiously, Wii Sports edged out Gears of War as Time magazines 2006 game of the year – not bad for what was probably intended to be a capabilitiy demo suite of mini-games.

That’s four of us 30+ kids who have bought Wiis and I think there are a
few more looking for one.  Apologies to all the mums and dads out there
who are still on the waiting lists, still trying to get little Johnny’s
christmas present.  My sister and her husband called around today and although they are not gamers they are apparently going to buy one when they get back to the U.S. (and probably a new LCD tv).  The little console that couldn’t is going to be a huge success for Nintendo.

That said, I am still playing Guitar Hero II , finally unlocking the Stonehenge venue.  That game is just bloody brilliant, I hope the bring out something like that for the Wii (drums anyone?)
