POPDISH

Nintendo’s next generation console named “Wii” has been the hottest mpst anticipated game system this year. It’s unique controller design basically blows all competitors away. You almost can’t really compare it to Xbox 360 or PS3, they are not really on the same level, this is innovation, leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. The controllers are motion sensitive and you can use it as anything from a virtual tennis racquet/baseball bat/golf club, to a magic wand, to a gun, to a sword, or even a symphony conductor’s stick! It’s amazing, totally freeing you from the traditional arrow keys and button layout.

It has caused such a stir at the E3 convention earlier this year, there was a 9 hour line of journalists and industry people to just get a glimpse of it! (lol of course we get to cut the line, velvet ropes up, VIP style, haha thanks Nintendo!) And since it’s such a hot item, I for once didn’t even bother bringing it up to our contacts at Nintendo to send us a review unit. Since it’s already sold out in pre-orders at pretty much every store across the country. Its MSRP is $249, but expected to fetch $500 even $1000 on ebay close to Christmas for the poor souls that couldn’t get their hands on one in time.

But as I walk into my office this afternoon (lol long night last night), there it was, a big box from Nintendo!! Suprise!! It’s a Wii with the Sports game pack, plus the new Zelda: Twilight Princess game and the Exite Truck game!! Oh my! My girl at Nintendo loves me more than my own mother!! lol.

My music/games editor of Kiwibox.com Josh gets to take it home this week and play with it and review it, and I’ll get it next week. The hottest part is it’s not even available in stores until Nov 19th!! We have it 5 days before it goes public!! How sweet is that!! haha I’m a dork, but I’m gonna be the coolest kid on the block this Xmas!
