Jen and I are currently taking turns leapfrogging each other’s progress in Zelda: Twilight Princess. She got to the wolf part first, but I am currently in the lead 🙂
Good things about the wii:
- quiet and small
- the controllers are cool
- gamecube compatibility
- guitar hero 3 is coming soon
- it got Jen into games, so it definitely has a broader appeal
Bad things about the wii:
- It has internet connectivity, but doesn’t seem to do a lot with it
- guitar hero 3 isn’t out yet
- You can’t run Linux on it 🙂
- Won’t run in hires when we get an HDTV
BTW if anyone has any old Gamecube games they wanted to go to a good home… or even advice on which GC or Wii games are supposed to be good. We have Mario party 8 and Zelda so far, that’s it.

Oh, I’m glad to see you enthused about console gaming! The lack of a real internet installment is kind of annoying (especially when Xbox Live is sooo nice). If you look into chipping it, there is a pretty decent scene- I wonder if someone isn’t already getting Linux up ons. I’m in the middle of chipping mine- tiiiny soldering points. I am with you on the GH3 action- can’t wait for that, or the new Smash Bros. Check out Super Paper Mario and RE4 (if you haven’t played its other iterations before).

I have 4 or 5 GameCube games I don’t really play anymore- I could ship them up.
Damn, I need to call you for real.
