Well I finally got one. One of my clients in Manhattan picked it up for me along with a spare nunchuck set. I Must really do some good work considering he would not allow me to pay him for it. It was very nice of him.
My thoughts so far.....
Well I hooked it up and gave it a try. I was amazed on the accurace of the remotes etc. I loved the ease of hookup which took 2 minutes. It actually took longer to unbox the console. To be honest i was salivating while doing so like a kid in a candy store. What a great feeling.
So a boxed a few rounds and hit a few home runs. I was amazed and extremely happy that Nintendo has stuck to the fun factor and keeping things simple at a very reasobale price (Yeah I know I did not pay but regardless and overall this unit is very cheap compared to the competition).
That's not it.....
There was nothing like it and I wish I had the DV cam on at this time. Calling my daughter down to play and strapping the band on her wrist. Ok Jenna, just swing away.... The look on her face and the enjoyment in her eyes when she knocked out Oscar (the mii) was one of the best experiences. It was one of those moments where you kick yourself for not having the camera. She was jumping around with her hands up that she KO'd Oscar. Oh yes, that will have to live in my memory and I will always remember that. Ofcourse after a few more rounds was tired which I was happy about considering it was bedtime for her. Yes, this is an added bonus to tire the kid and avoid the hassle of getting her to bed. Ofcourse there are some bads such as the first time she lost. I am amzed how much a 4yr old hates to lose. She really took it badly and wept and did not want to play anymore. I gave her a good talking to and let her know everyone needs to lose once in awhile to get better. Sure neough she won her next bout. Overall we have been having a lot of fun with this unit.
A few days later I woke up and noticed a few aches. I felt like I got beat up. Could it be? Is it true? Yes it surely is, I have let myself go the past few years and well...yes, I am out of shaoe that virtual tennis and boxing had me sore. Ugghhh reality sucks!!!!!!!!!! WHat we were and what we are are two different things. Did I mention reality sucks? Umm yeah, so what:bawling: I am not getting any younger and I surely am feeling it.
I installed the free browser and shot over to google video to see if it worked. It does and I am impressed. I believe this unit will allow streaming which I will try converting video over to a few formats such as flash mpg, wmv and see if I can run it from a central server in the house. I want to see if I can get full screen video streamed to the unit from a local computer. At this point I am still learning about this thing and I see many possibilities with it. I think Ninteno did a great job and I do believe they deserve an award for such a fun unit. They impressed me which I did not think they would do as much as they did.
If I had to rate this thing I would give it a 10 out of 10. That rating is without even trying the new game I picked up this weekend.
I would like to hear about some of your experiences to those who have had this thing. Have you learned anything new since the last time you posted in Pt1?
I encourage every house hold to get one of these units. It is like the new board game which the average house hold does not play no longer. It really has potential of bring the fun back home.
