There’s no getting around the fact that the Wii is as popular as balloons at the zoo, so let’s keep our musings about how it’s a refreshed Gamecube at bay. Actually, it’s a great console whether it’s next gen or not doesn’t seem to matter since it clearly doesn’t compete with the Xbox 360 and PS3 on that level. It sells millions of units and you can never find one in stock. Wii Music will clearly make keep the little white console off the shelves for the next six months or so since this seems to be the kosher alternative to Rock Band and Guitar Hero for kids. It’s available starting today for $50. Yay!









My nephew who is 8 years old has the demo of this game and let me just say he loves this game. It’s easy enough to pick up and play and is actually surprisingly enjoyable for such a simple game geared towards children. There’s also a nostalgia factor for someone like me who is 23 because all the songs are Nintendo classics and took me right back to the good old 8-bit days.
And the good news is it makes adults only look borderline mentally challenged =)
