Wii Would Like to Play
Posted by nathan on 29 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: my life.
Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m., I left our house and headed to Target in Fort Wayne to purchase a Wii console. If you were unaware, a Wii console is actually somewhat hard to find, especially in Q4 as parents are gearing up for Christmas.
When I entered Target at about 8:04 a.m., (they open at 8), I didn’t see many people. In fact, the entire time I was there, I only saw four shoppers–all of whom were purchasing a Wii.
Target received a shipment of 32 Wii consoles, which were expected to be gone by late morning. I didn’t want to chance it, and arrived shortly after open.
Talk about fun! It was fun to make a Mii (a customizable Wii version of yourself) of ourselves, and we also had fun making a Mii of our extended families. Emily made a Wii of her dad Kerry, and that one really looks like him. Pretty fun.
We are still learning the system, and figuring out controls. Emily and I have enjoyed boxing each other, although we neither one have yet been able to figure out controls. Last night Emily beat me twice in a row in a boxing match! Talk about a blow to one’s ego! LOL
That said, Wii like our new Wii console very much. I am looking forward to playing Tiger Woods golf, and Emily would like to play Dance Dance Revolution.
We are going to have fun with this, and we’ll get our exercise in, as well!

Welcome to the world of Wii.
My wife and I have been enjoying our Wii since purchasing it back in May.
Our favorite games are Wii Sports Bowling and the Wii Laser Hockey (air hockey). I also like Wii Billiards.
The last two game I mention come with the game “Wii Play”. It’s a collection of eight simple and fun games and come bundled with a Wii-mote.
If you’re looking for more simple games to help you learn all of the different ways to play using the Wii-mote, I suggest you check out Wii-Play.
Have fun!
