I gotta say, Nintendo has really made a masterpiece here with the Wii and Wii Sports. I brought my Wii to t-day dinner, and everyone loved it. Everyone from my 4 year old cousins to my 80 year old grandmother was able to play and had a ball.

The crazyest were the golf nuts in the croud. They got super serious and technical with it. It looks like all my relatives are going to buy Wiis for eachother this year. The parents of the 4 year olds were like ‘We’ll buy this for the kids, and if they don’t play it I will for sure :)”

I also took it to a friends house last night and we played Wii Sports until 5 in the morning, we started making Miis (basically cartoonish avatars that are used in the games and sent between Wiis over the net) for people like Ali G, George Bush (TheDecider), Napoleon Dynamite, Michael Jackson and others. It was hilarious to be playing baseball and have Ali G come up to bat and hit a home run. I was laughing so hard all night that I was sore the next day, no joke. Another interesting thing i noticed, When it got late and everyone was getting sleepy, getting up and getting physical to play the games woke everyone up.

Can’t recommend this enough, Sony must be shitting in their pants.

Mike’s Official score? 10/10

Bravo.
