Wii Fight (Shhhh!)

I guess we (who me?) are not supposed to blog about Wii Fight but come on, after this underground video came out revealing what happened, I thought we might want to hold a fight at BarCampMadison.

So plan on it. Wii Fight at BarCampMadison. In Madison, Wiisconsin. March 3rd & 4th, 2007.

Gaming the Wii

Just a brief follow-up to my Casual Gaming post. I played a Nintendo Wii last week, and I liked it.

Wii The Wii is just a fun platform for gaming. We saw casual gamers play it. We saw people who would never sit down and play a video game play it, and they didn’t even have to sit down! From what I hear, that’s the whole idea behind the Wii, to open up the world of gaming to people who wouldn’t normally enter into that world.

I didn’t get a ton of Wii-time, but got to try out Wii Sports, including bowling and tennis, both of which were a lot of fun.

By the time we were done, the kids were hinting about a Wii for Xmas, which ain’t gonna happen this year (recent automobile repairs made sure of that) but we’ll keep an eye on the platform and when the GameCube needs replacing, we’ll see what happens.
