Success! My friends and I got in line at the ungodly hour of 4:20 to try and get ourselves Nintendo Wiis at the South Edmonton Common Walmart. Lucky for us, we were early enough to earn us each a ticket to buy one of 75 Wiis available at that particular store. In reality, we could’ve joined the line maybe an hour later and still got them, but it would’ve been a lot closer and more worrisome for us. We ended up getting tickets number 37 through 39.

So now all 3 of us now own Nintendo Wii consoles, a second controller each and a copy of Zelda. Jeffu also picked up a copy of Rayman, while Curtis and I decided to wait for awhile before deciding on future games.

What do I think about the Wii? It is awesome! Wii sports has some hits and misses. Of the games, Bowling and Tennis are the most polished and feel like the most fun. Tennis is also not too bad, but I’m looking forward to a full fledged Mario Tennis like game. Baseball and Boxing aren’t as much fun for me, but I’m also not all that interested in either game in real life either! All of the games on the Wii sports disc are pretty easy to pick up, and there should be several parties coming up where we have some serious tournaments!

The game of the minute, day, hour, month, … year … is definitely Zelda. I haven’t got too far in yet — just to the entrance of the 2nd dungeon. So far though, the story line is much more engrossing than any previous Zelda I’ve played. The plot is enhanced a great deal to some very well made cut scenes.

So far, the game is a little more linear than I expected – but I haven’t made it far enough to see if that trend continues. Overall though, I’m really impressed with the game. It is extremely fun, and will likely take up a great deal of my free time as I attempt to work my way through the game!
