I have been playing the Wii for just over a week now and I will have to say, I am officially more excited about new Zelda game(Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) more than anything. The new controller, the channel interface and wii sports are all very cool.
I am not quite sure what the deal is with the Miis but I did enjoy creating my family. Its too bad there doesnt appear to be a way to create a dog or cat mii, because I’d happily create my dog and cat as Mii characters. Also, I was hoping other Miis would randomly show up on my console allowing me to interact with other Wii owners but that doesnt seem to be the case. It seems like there will be more to come with the Miis in the future.
I am also wondering if Wii Sports is more work than video game. The two times I attempted Wii Sports I ended up breaking a sweat. Call me crazy but I dont want to work out, I want to play a video game. Dont get me wrong, it felt great and extremely responsive. They got it down pat. For baseball you have to really swing the bat like you are outside trying to hit a fastball and the bowling you really need to get in the motion to get the proper spin on the ball to score a strike.
The controller is no gimmick, it really works. In Zelda where it was probalby more of an after thought than truly planned out considering how the game was originally slated for the Gamecube, but it feels wonderfully natural.
Overall, I would have to say that my love for the new Zelda has entirely trumped everything else. I havent really given Wii Sports, Virtual Console or my little Miis near enough attention. I will probably post more about those other aspects of the Wii as I feel I am closing in on the end of the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
