We have Wii.

We have Wii.

Sep 15

We’re sorta late to the party on this (not that we even think y’all come RUNNING to AN for NEWS or some shit, or honestly, that you run to AN period. We prefer to imagine you walking with head held high, at a pace that spouts confidence) but for what it’s worth: The deets about the Nintendo Wii are out.

Oh, gosh, what do I THINK?! Lil’ ol’ ME?

I’m slightly underwhelmed by the price point. Nintendo kept saying cheap, and they’re selling big ol’ hootenanny fun family gaming here, yet there’s only one controller in the box, and so you’re really looking at at least $325 if you want the system and two controllers to actually PLAY games against Grandma. Otherwise, Grandma stands around and watches you play all Christmas morning, and we all know how fun THAT can be.

In other words, I may sit this one out till the inevitable price drop mid- to late 2007, or in response to the PS3, whichever comes first.
