Wii Wii All The Way Home

This morning another piece of Nintendo heaven arrived at my door. A box-fresh Wii complete with Wii Sports and the dodgy Wii-mote control strap. It’s set to shake up my family’s gaming habits by bringing us all together for some serious bonding. But that’s not until Christmas Day. Until then the Wii belongs exclusively to Mii.

Game & Watch nostaligia

Moving offices last week I discovered a Game and Watch of Mario’s Cement Factory from 1983.

£1.98 later, I had 2 new batteries installed and was enjoying a trip down memory lane. The problem with nostalgia though is that as you’re eyes mist up you become blind to the shortcomings of anything from your carefree younger days; I love the LED memories it jogs but as a game it wears pretty quickly alongside some other simple flash creations.

I want to rave about it but I think I’ll just leave it on my desk to enhance my ‘retro gamer’ (old man) credibility.
