Wii Launch Day: Dec 8th

Attended a event at uni on Friday for the launch of the Nintendo Wii! The computer science department went and got 2 for launch and rigged them up to a HUGE projector screen.

Got to have a play on Wii: Sports, Wii: Play and Red Steel. All the games were great on multi player, but Red Steel would have worked better without split screens. The Wii is so damn good looking and the controller just cries out, "throw mii at the TV" (like some Americans have already gone and done).

Ah, the controller. Looks like a TV remote, works like an absolute dream, you can point swing, tilt, slap and smack with the thing, oh and aim at someone's head all with incredible precision. I want a Wii now!

Also Rob Miles went and bought Guitar Hero and I jammed on that too.

All this when coupled with free food and drinks, made it an excellent launch event. Viva la Wii!
