Purchasing the Nintendo Wii was an incredible experience for me; it really gets you off the couch and places you into the game. When I saw the very first ad for the console, I just thought “here we go again” to me it was just another device to get children to terrorize their parents and addictive gamers to add another console to their already massive collection. It took me a while, it wasn’t until they announced that the price had dropped significantly that I decided to get one for my girls. I had a 32” flat screen HDTV, so after hooking it up, I decided to test it out, I fell in love. To this day, every opportunity I get, I slip some playtime in. It is now used religiously on family game night. Everyone gets involved and enjoy spending the time with each other. Most of all I love it because I burn calories. Whenever I don’t feel like going to the gym, I just jump on the Wii and life is good.
On a different note, previously the only system I had owned was the Nintendo Gameboy. I won it in a raffle at a Christmas party from my job, and it was an absolute joy to have. I took it everywhere I went. It was this cute little hand held device that provided hours of play and happiness. I never left home without it. About two months later, I started getting less and less interested in playing with it, the game cartridges are too small, and the screen was getting quite hard to look at. It has proven to be a burden rather than a pleasurable device. I no longer use it; it is currently in a basket with all the other devices I no longer have an interest in.
