A Wii story by Flunx

Merry Christmas! Here's a semi-long post about the Wii. It's what I've been fooling around with so far this xmas between the eating and drinking sessions. Since my computer is back home and my parents house is really boring I decided to write something on the aq2world forums. So here it goes...
I had to get up 4 hours before the shop opened and stand in line to get one of these things. When I got there I was 17/18 in queue. Lucky, eh? The guy who was first in line had been there since 20:30 the day before and was sleeping in a tent. A fairly old bloke who had to buy a Wii for his kid for xmas (go figure).
Was it worth it?
Hell yeah! It's the most fun I've had with games in a long time. I am positive that this is the new way we will play games in the future. It's just that much fun.
Zelda Twilight Princess is absolutely stunning. I'm about 20 hours into this massive game and I hope it never ends. Swinging your sword and aiming your bow with the Wii Remote (Wiimote) is a breeze and incredibly fun.
Wii Sports is the ultimate family/party game. Everyone who I've introduced to this game is loving it from the first moment they feel and hear the sound from the Wiimote as they hit the tennis ball or make that first strike. Even my grandmother was asking for a rematch in tennis![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
The last game I've got is Call of Duty 3. I usually don't like these WWII games but with the new controls it's new and fresh. The controls aren't perfect, but once they nail it the Wii will seem like it's made for First Person Shooters.
I've also downloaded some Virtual Console games. Nostalgia all the way! I've even downloaded some games that I never got to play like Bonk.
The internet browser is a sweet little extra. Since Macromedia Flash works with the browser you can watch videos on youtube, play some flash games or even use MSN and other IM clients via iloveim.com
Fancy!
The last thing I'll write some about is the Mii's. They are small characters which you can create to look like yourself and you friends. Then you can play as them or against them in Wii Sports. Hilarious![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
There's also a photochannel, forecastchannel and a newschannel(currently not up and running) which is fun to mess around with. And with the Wii being online even when turned off I can't wait to see what else will show up in my mailbox.
Anyone else here got a Wii yet? What are your first impressions?
Feel free to ask me questions about the Wii and it's features or any of the games if you're thinking about buying one.
