600th post, Wii Rant.

For all of the Wii haters that are afraid about looking stupid playing the system, or think it is just for kids, you have to try it. I have converted every one of my friends who made fun of me for buying one.

Zelda is pretty cool. I havent played it as much as my other games, but it is supposed to be the deepest Zelda yet, and I have really enjoyed the conrtols so far.

I also have Red Steel. It is a bit tricky to get used to but the multiplayer is pretty cool, and I actually feel like I have a mouse in my hand and am playing a FPS on a computer.

Mostly I have been playing Wii Sports with various friends. The bowling is the best of the games. The other four (Tennis, Boxing, Baseball, and Golf) are fun as well, but they aren't as much fun for everyone. Anyone can bowl. I was able to teach a four year old how to bowl, and my parents who are in their mid 50's enjoyed it too.

The main reason I bought it was for the ability to download all of the classic games. Granted I know there are emulators and they are free, but its hard to play two player on emulators in front of a computer. Also the systems available for download are NES, SNES, N64, Sega, and TurboGrafx-16. Each Monday they are rolling out the new games available for download.

Overall if your an Xbox360 fan, then you already have your mind made up. And you probably would hate the Wii. But for the multiplayer and fun for everyone I would say the Wii is the system of choice.
