Video Thursday vol. 1
I hate Thursdays! I mean really hate them, way more than Garfield hates Mondays. Anybody can hate Mondays it’s so easy but it takes a special cookie to hate a day so close to the weekend. So in the interest of impartiality and not writing a scathing post on whatever issue in gaming is bugging me, I’m proud to introduce “Video Thursdays”. Every week I will try and find some of the best Wii videos on the net. I hope that will save you all from my coffee fueled “I’m in the worst mood possible” rants. Trust me on this one you do not want to see my ugly side.
My girlfriend Jen and I have been together for just over 3 years, that said me and video games have been together for about 15 years. Now there isn’t any competition between the two loves of my life but once in a while, I like to combine them and play games with my girlfriend. Sometimes that can be difficult. Jen never really left the 2D era of games she is waaaay better than me at Super Mario and can even hold her own with many of the other classics, Mega Man being one of her favorites. So it’s hard to find 3D games that she would enjoy, at least until I introduced her to “Mario Party”. She loved the simple gameplay of the mini-games and the game board mechanic, plus any game where she can play as Daisy puts a smile on her face.
According to IGN “Mario Party 8″ is due to hit stores sometime in March with more mini-games than you can shake a WiiMote at. So I’ve compiled a series of videos showcasing the gameplay of probably on of the best multiplayer games that will hit the Wii this year, enjoy.

According to IGN, Mario party 8 is out in the US on March 5, 2007.
My sister was the same way with games, she loves the Mario games and shes the reason why i still have my SNES,
but she got into 3D gaming a bit with playing Mario Party on the N64, and Final Fantasy X2 on my PS2
im sure that if i ever end up getting a wii myself she’l be hooked on it, just like she was with my DS, she loves playing Mario 64DS, even my mom was intriged by the mini-games
I think Nintendo is smart to try out more natural controls like the Wii’s motion sensing and the DS’s touch screen, the rest of my family were never into video games that much before.
Well lets hope Mario Galaxy comes out soon too, and its just as good as 64 was, speaking of 64, whats with it being the only N64 VC title?
