Read 4 color rebellion First Impressions: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I cannot wait for this game to come out - this is definitely one of the reasons I bought a Wii in the first place.

So I was watching a recorded episode of Criminal Minds last night when my Wii popped up the soothing blue glow, I don’t have any friends so I knew it had to be from Nintendo. Much to my surprise it was telling me about a whole new channel: Everybody Votes. This is marketing genius! Make surveys that are fun to respond to, next thing you know Nintendo will have “sponsored” responses and they will pay you in Wii points… One can dream right?

I’ve only mentioned the Wii on my about page just recently. I had to let it soak in as this is the first console I’ve owned in about 2 years. (The last was an original XBox.) And I must say the potential the Wii has is amazing. This conosle has the highest wife acceptance factor of any electronic gadget in the world. I’d be willing to say it is more loved than the treasured *GASP* iPod. It even has mother-in-law love. Now I dare you try to show me another gaming console that your mother-in-law will love. You can’t. I don’t know how it is possible either, but I do know that Wii Sports has to be the best party game in the world. (This may be knocked out of contention as soon as I play Wario Ware Smooth Moves or Mario Party 8 though.) The sports are incredibly fun and there is definitely alot of skill involved. Twilight Princess is gorgeous on my lame 27” CRT. I haven’t even tried any of the Virtual Console games yet, but I will definitely be downloading some when I bring myself to spend another 20 dollars on a Classic controller. In fact, the controllers (the price, not the function) are really my only complaint with the whole system. Granted, it is a one time purchase, but 60 dollars for a complete Wiimote/Nunchuck setup? That seems a bit steep to me. (Yes, I already bit the bullet and bought it.) Now when Wii Play comes out, it will come with an extra remote and that is very admirable. I could only wish that Super Smash Bros. Brawl will come out packaged with a Classic controller. I’ve also been playing with Wii Transfer lately and that is rocking my world. I do have a few complaints though that I will write about later.
