I've been playing with Wii!

Spent a few minutes today playing on a Wii.

These are just my first impressions:

Size - it's bloody teeny!
The 3 dvd case size thing holds up. It was sat next to a PS3 which made it look even smaller. The PS3 is a brick. It's huge and not that pretty.

Controller works very well.
It's good to hold and all the buttons are easily accessable. I can see why some people are finding it slippery though.

Graphics - this was being played on a 32" plasma screen and looked pretty good. Admittadly - next to the PS3 it was a lot more cartoony and was nowhere near as good, but was definately better than I expected.

Some of the others I saw looked great. Zelda in particular looked superb.

Now...

Fun factor.

I spent 15 minutes laughing my arse off while playing it. Some of it was due to my mate being hopeless at Wii Tennis, but it was a great fun game.

I can see this taking off big time. Hopefully Ninty have got it right this time.

So glad I have a pre-order in.

Oh...forgot to mention that I was also being chatted up by a very nice blonde aussie girl.

It turned out that she was 18....

Too young for me tbh, also the other half would complain. But she had a superb arse.

I noticed a big Wii stand in the Oracle Shopping Centre (Reading) yesterday. Was past closing time when I noticed it unfortunately.

Due to an abject failure at finding either a secret santa, or anything vaguely resembling something I can use as a costume, I'm probably going back next weekend. I may stop by and watch Casino Royale if it's still on as well.

Janet saw the advert for Wii sports (again) last night which turned the conversation to "they look fun, shall we get one for Josh?"

What do you think I said?
