In a completely impulsive moment, we bought ourselves a Wii. Our anniversary is next Tuesday (isn’t the modern gift for eight years a game console?) so we figured we’d splurge, since a) they’re really hard to come by, and b) they’re incredibly fun.
We played Wii bowling last night…I’m definitely better at Wii bowling than real-life bowling. Well, at least I can’t really remember ever bowling a 147, but it’s been a while since I actually bowled so maybe I have. I’m looking forward to learning how to play tennis. And there are plans for versions of Dance, Dance Revolution and Animal Crossing. Could be fun!
My sister-in-law Jeannie was the one who found them, because she was looking for one for herself. So she brought home two Wiis, and we had fun cracking jokes about “oui, oui!” and “wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home”. OK, it was funny last night, anyway.
Anyone out there have a Wii? Any suggestions for a really good starter game for a 2 1/2 year old who’s never played a video game in her life? I imagine we can help her figure out the bowling, since my 4 year old niece was getting pretty good at it last night, but it’s always nice to have other options.
We bought a Wii for my birthday and love it! We have Wii Sports and Wii Play as well as Zelda. All great. Maddie can play some of the games in Wii Play (cow racing and fishing are easiest)and has tried bowling and pitching (baseball). Her favorite is cow racing. Funny thing is, you’re supposed to stay on the road and I guess we have her trained well, because she won’t put her cow on the road at all (gotta stay on the grass!). I bet Carrie would be able to try those! Rayman Raving Rabbids is pretty fun, too. :)
