My fellow Nintendo Fan’s the day is upon us.

After waiting out in the shivering cold for more than hour this morning, D and I finally got our hands on the Wii. I figured id take a break from Zelda and just write some thoughts on it.

First off its beautiful, the actual design of it is compact, sleek and very stylish.

It was well pretty much everything it said it was going to be, backwards compatible with the game cube, access to downloadable retro games, It has tons of features and software pre installed to mess around with via internet connection, featuring message boards, you can even edit your own photos I kid you not. All in all it’s a very neat package.

The most innovative part is the control, along with Zelda I picked up Call of Duty 3 and this is where I found this controller to shine. The actual movement of the control is almost like a button mapping, take for instance moving it forward rapidly simulates a pistol whip, move the nun-chuck part side ways switches your weapons. I can see some really cool stuff happening with this type of control later on in Zelda.

I also like the fact of the gamecube backwards compatibility, the system had such good games, this still breathes life into them, as opposed to just forgetting about them and moving on.

Just a few random thoughts that I thought id spew forth to the world.

More impression. Later on in the week.
