Wii Sports

Wii baseball, in particular, is awesome because of the Mii participation. Only there can Dumbledore be at bat, hit the ball to left field, and the ball gets caught by Harry Potter. Sweet!

no more games now.

I went out and bought Animal crossing for the DS last night. I'm weak. It's not exactly the same as the 'cube version, but is just as engaging.

One problem with both games is that they follow the clock in real time. This is a bit of an issue when you want to play in the middle of the night, since the store is closed. You can't do a whole lot when the store is closed. You can change the time and date in game, but you don't want to do that. If you do that, (or if you turn off the game without saving) a mole by the name of Resetti chews you out the next time you play. Then you have to click through a lot of text. I'm told that if you keep doing it the text gets longer and longer, then he makes you write an apology! Moral of the story: change the time on your DS/cube/Wii.

Neen- ten- doh

I've had Animal Crossing for 2 days and I already want the DS version. It's not exciting, but it does hook you in. The premise is that you move into this little town, and you have to buy a house to live in, but you don't have enough money. So the first thing you do is pay off your loan! Wow, fun! You earn money by doing errands for the animals, or shaking trees or whatever. Then later you get to make your house bigger, and decorate it, and collect fish...

It's on Gamecube, so you can get it at your local Gamestop for about $17. Hurry though, they're clearing out all their Gamecube stuff.

Wii version forthcoming!
