In many ways I'm just a crotchety old fart, not particularly inclined towards mind-numbing marathon video-game playing. Oh, when younger I played Pong and dabbled in Pac-Man and Centipeed. But I really haven't been into video games for some time. I figured my thumbs hurt enough as it is, why push them into oblivion with video-game induced repetitive motion disorder!!!
Then through a series of strange events, we tried a Wii at my Nephew's place. No more killer thumb exercise! To play the bowling game (my seven year old great nephew enjoyed beating me by a mile!), you hold the controller in your hand and swing your arm like you are really bowling!
Well, long story short, we bought one. And we have been having a ball with it! My Wife and I have been golfing on it about every-other night. And I won't even take her on in boxing anymore!!! She is the boxing champ! And if you ever wanted to have some good clean fun that just cracks you up, try the cow racing!
The last time we visited my nephew, they had just gotten the Wii Fit. Exercise made fun! I think I could get off on being a big-time slalom skiing champ! And the hula-hoop is downright fun! Now we need one of these toys to go with the Wii, but those wily folks at Nintendo know how to keep demand high, by restricting supply. But never fear, we'll find one someday. We're still looking! In the meantime, I am getting better at bowling, so maybe I can take on my great-nephew again!
So, does anybody else have one of these? What games do you enjoy? What are some other games that are fun to play on the Wii? Does anybody have an inside track on a Wii Fit?
