On Thursday, June 26, the Nintendo Wii finally arrived on our doorstep. We had been searching for months. Every time we were near a Gamestop, almost every time we went to Target, we checked - just in case.
My husband was using a Wii Finder - and finally, one day, they were in stock on Best Buy online. So we got one. Three days later it arrived.
We had played the Wii during Christmas/New Year’s vacation when we went up to Ohio. We loved it immediately.
I’m not a huge fan of video games, but the Wii is different. It’s not all about Super Mario or Grand Theft auto. I like Wii Sports, a few of the Wii Play games, and My Word Coach.
But life got EVEN BETTER last Thursday, when my husband was in store at Best Buy and they had the Wii FIT!
The Wii Fit is a board you stand on and you can do a bunch of fun exercises to get in shape. Some have claimed it doesn’t work, but I’ve already lost 1.3 lbs. I’m sure it varies from person to person.
Some other games also work with the Wii balance board (as its called). I rented Wii Ski from Blockbuster and it works with the Wii board. Newsflash: I’m no better skiier on the Wii than I am in real life - which is to say, I suck at skiing.
Anyway, of course the kids love it too. They mostly love Super Mario Galaxy. I guess I’m just a Wii nerd. That’s ok.
