Last night, I hit Pro status in Wii Bowling and I’m still undefeated in boxing even though my last opponent (my first pro foe) gave me a hell of a time, he knocked me down twice. I think it was his Lennox Lewis hair style.
So far the Wii is pretty amusing and it makes me exert myself more than Guitar Hero but less than DDR. Maybe there will be a video game to address childhood obesity. Still, I’m debating about getting one in the near future, like in three years. Outside of the Wii Sports package, Nintendo hasn’t delivered on a must have game that compels one to buy the platform; there’s no Grand Theft Auto, Splinter Cell or Metroid to cinch the deal. My friend Jose really enjoys his for the golf and my nephews do seem to have fewer coordination issues playing it, they are under 10. I think I will wait for PS3 to pan out or fail before I develop a preference. Meanwhile my PS2 has many hours left as I think I’m half-way through Sly Cooper 2.
