Last night, Meri and I decided to buy a Nintendo Wii. We’ve been talking about it since it first came out (Nov 19, 2006) and I described to her how it was different than every other system out on the market. The Wii came with Wii Sports, a controller and a nunchuk.We bought Wii Play as well since it came with a second controller.

Last night, we played for almost two hours! One thing that I thought was really cool on the Wii was that a message is sent to you with a “total time played” when you are finished playing. The Wii Sports game is really fun! The boxing is physically demanding enough to make me sweat after only playing it for about 20 minutes or so.

I know that we are going to get Wii Fit whenever we can find it - it costs around $90. Other than that, I’m torn as to what other game I want to get next. I have a small list going - in no particular order.

• Mario Kart Wii - comes with a steering wheel
• We Ski
• Metroid Prime 3 - Corruption
• Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008 (or 2009 or whatever)
• The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess

I was surprised to see that Meri actually had fun with it. She generally doesn’t like video games. I think Aaron will really like playing this system and we’ll all be able to have fun with this as a family.
