Wii did it.

Well ladies and gents.

Trevor and I secured a Wii each yesterday and I am here to tell you it is glorious fun.

I went to Best Buy and got there 5 minutes after it opened. There were at least 150 people lined up. No joke. They only had 115 systems.

Superstore also had lineups and handed out tickets before hand, so I got screwed there as well.

Trevor's sister came through though and we both got a Wii from Rogers video after waiting outside for an hour (just in case) it was an alright day all things considered. So thanks again to her, if she reads this.

We were all told it wasn't going to be as hard to find a Wii as it is a PS3, but if yesterday is any indication, Nintendo is on to something here, because it's selling like a cake that is hot.

Also who the fuck sleeps over night in a line for a video game? I couldn't do that. Mostly because I have a job, but also because I just wouldn't do it. If it was like, a chance to bang Jessica Alba I might line up, but come on. People are insane.

Here are some real quick impressions:

Red Steel: a bit of a learning curve here, but once you get used to it the remote gives you a shit ton more accuracy than a regular controller and it's easy as pie to score headshots.

Excite Truck: Good, fast, simple fun. kind of weird having to tilt the controller to turn but again once you adapt, it makes the game even more fun. It's a very fast game.

Wii sports: I only played one match of tennis so far and it was fun but I got my ass kicked.

Zelda: Twilight Princess: Best game ever made.

Guess I'll post real impressions on Nintopia later.

Time to go touch my Wii.
