Wiis Still Being Gobbled Up
I’m hearing that it’s still not that easy to procure one of the little white consoles. A source of mine from Wal-Mart tells me that his store got some 18 Wiis last Friday and to no ones surprise (including my own) they were all gone by lunch on Saturday.
Reggie says that Wii console production is up, so why are there still so many out there who are Wii-less? Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop, we may never know. Those of you out there in Rally-land who still find themselves using a remote to simply switch TV channels can take to heart that you aren’t missing much.
With Mario Party 8 launching this week the only game really worth getting excited about is RE4: Wii Edition which drops on June 19th. You can’t even really get that excited for it seeing as how the game was released back in 2005. Nope not much to look forward to at all, unless you’re in to cartoony soccer.
Things will get better though, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption hits store shelves on August 20th. Just sit tight and it will all be worth the wait.

This is really strange for Nintendo to have this kind of lack of games at the start. Normally they have lots at launch don’t they? So far I’m still content with my Wii Sports, but I can’t say that about everyone, I’m sure many people are pro in all the sports and are sick of messing with the computer. Unless u have some friends over for a good old WiiBoxing time I dunno what people will do until the big titles come out. Wasn’t Nintendo also the one being all high and mighty about a lot of titles at lauch? What happened? I’m starting to lose some faith in my childhood game friend…Where’s Mario? And if Mario Galaxies in anything like Mario Sunshine…I (and I think I can say like most) will be very upset with Nintendo. I for one really hope they get their stuff together and get our games out soon. We’ve been teased long enough with all these Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Mario Galaxy trailers, and not to mention the Wii commercial with Metriod 3 in it. Damn Nintendo, c’mon!
