Back to gaming
Over the past year, our Wii didn’t see nearly enough action to justify the 430am Black Friday trek that I made to acquire it. After beating Zelda there wasn’t a whole lot to get excited about. Fortunately, that’s changed over the past few months (Metroid, Guitar Hero) and there’s a lot to look forward to (Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Smash Bros.).
One game that’s pretty much guaranteed to be a huge sales failure is Zack and Wiki. Cursed with unrecognizable characters and cheesy cover art, the game has been well-received by reviewers, who are excited about its challenging puzzle-oriented gameplay and great use of the controller. I’ve decided to pick up a copy of the game in support of Capcom because it’s a shame that creativity is not generally rewarded by the gaming public. I’m looking forward to playing it over the next few months.

Had a whole bunch of friends over last night after we went out. We ended up playing Smash Bros. Melee in Giant Melee mode with super mushrooms on Very High frequency. It reminded me of playing Mario Strikers Charged at your place and laughing hysterically at giant Mario rampaging across the field, only to get tripped by little Toad or Koopa.
Mmm, that was fun…

Once you have some hours on that I’d love to hear how you find it.
