…buying “Mario Bros” instead of “Super Mario Bros”. Brilliance! Oh well, it’ll be fun if a friend comes over I guess.

This system is pretty slick. I was surprised it didn’t come with an S-Video cable, although I’m sure research would have revealed this. I do like the built-in wi-fi, and that Nintendo managed to make it so this thing can speak to WPA WAPs. (Bizarrely, the DS can only speak to ancient WEP devices).

I’m waiting for some games to come in via Amazon used game merchants, but so far I really dig the sports games. Except baseball. I can’t figure out how to pitch well, or something, and I couldn’t figure out how to quit prematurely other than going back to the home menu. I’m sure this is all stuff explained in some manual somewhere, but I’m a busy man!

Of course, everyone else in the world has already reviewed the thing, so you don’t need to hear me blather on. I was shocked to see 3 Wii’s at a Target in Northgate, it was my understanding that the console was still largely unavailable, and an insider informed me that they were actually reducing production staff rather than increasing it. Also bizarre.

Anyway, after all that it turns out I really suck at Super Mario Bros. Ah well, time to practice.
