Ok, back in, oh say Pre E3 I was not interested in buying any next gen consoles whatsoever, except for maybe a 360. I had heard odd rumors about the Nintendo "Revolution" and it really did not spark my curiosity whatsoever. Well, E3 came around, and with it, the Wii was introduced, and it changed my views upon next gen and mainstream consoles forever.
Just by looking upon the system I thought to myself, what a ridiculously genius idea, a perfect controller for a great system, and it works according to those that have tried it out. Games such as Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption made me feel very good about the system, but one game locked in my vote for the system, Super Smash Bro Brawl. The trailer that they created was flawless, energetic, well thought out, and had an aura to it that made me watch it 40+ times, no joke. So that is how my passion for the Wii began.
As time passed by and no news was introduced until mid summer, my desires had been somewhat shaken since hype had died down, but then information came out, story upon story about prices, accesories, and MORE games. This brought my hopes back up to when E3 introduced it and this continued until Sptember, in which the heavy news began to come out.
Now before I get in to the rest, I have to say I bought a DS in August, and oddly, I was actually amazing, baffled, but my Mom actually played my DS, Brainage of course. Now she had had no prior experience with V Games, except maybe Pong or Pac Man, and she keeps up with, and she does play it. Then my bro played it, and soon my dad, and this began bringing up a new spark of amazement, what if the Wii had the same effect.
Never before had my family played video games together before, except me and my bro of course, but my parents, never want to touch a console. The Wii however leads me to believe that this could be the console that brings gaming mainstream to people of all ages, people that can play together, come together as a family unit, friend unit, or community. Crazy talk? No, it is not just a hopeful dream, but when I heard about big Multiplayer pick up games such as Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, and Elebits, which are both so easy, it leads me to believe that this sytstem can breathe gaming life in to some non gamers, creating a ripple effect, one non gamer telling other non gamers in the workplace, and suddenly in becomes huge. Is this just a far fetched idea or can it become reality, and do you want it to become reality, a system that everyone can pick up and play that does not need extensive learning, hard to memorize combos, and 1000 buttons? Answer my question and discuss this as much as possible, and we can talk sometime, ok, cya.
