Wiiiiiiii
Just came back from NYC after visiting Nintendo World Store for their 1 year anniversary and to see the E3 live feed. It certainly got me excited about the new console, and also broke in the name for me through repeated usage. Now I can say Wii without giggling. While I'm not a huge Zelda fan (I have played the games btw), I am looking forward to some of their other games: Wii Sports, Red Steel, Excite Truck, Project Hammer, and of course the new Mario. Excite Truck will be an interesting play just for the new steering system, and Project Hammer is especially hilarious considering the concept of the game is to just walk around smashing things with a huge hammer. This system will be great.
DS is also getting StarFox which, if anything like the N64 version, will be the bestest game ever. These will all be released before the year's end, along with the new DS Lite. I start work Friday. It is time to start saving!
Some goodies from the event: Nintendo Wii pin, a very nice Nintendo pen, a Gamecube paper pad, Dogs playing NIntendogs poster, Nintendo DS keychain and strap, and a custom etching/engraving on my DS which I will be picking up later.
