There's Something Wrong With Me

I think there's something wrong with me. I'm happily playing Chrono Trigger and GTA Chinatown Wars on my Colbalt Blue Nintendo DS lite, but at the same time I'm finding myself wanting ANOTHER DS - the Nintendo DSi. What is this hold that Nintendo has over me where I MUST buy EVERY incarnation of their portable consoles (except the Virtual Boy)?

If this the same urge that Apple fans go through every 6 months or so with every new announcement? Eerily familiar...

Must... resist... save money. Aww fuck Black Matte DSi in cart. No! I must resist the urge - that is until Nintendo announces a must have DSi-only game.

Thanks Nintendo!

"What's this? It's a new remote controller. Ninteno Wii remote controller."

I can't wait. I want a Wii now!

Get Over it Already!

I've been hearing and reading a lot of complaints about how crappy the Wii's graphics are. Sure, the Wii may not look any better than a GCN right now, but who cares? It's not like Nintendo lied to you about the graphics. They have specifically said that they're not in the raw graphics output race anymore. They have also said that if what you're looking to get out of a video game is just pure graphics enjoyment, the Wii is not for you.

The Wii isn't about pretty graphics. Nintendo is taking what they've done for the handheld console business and bringing that philosophy to the home consoles. The Nintendo DS and the Wii are both about new ways to experience and play games.

So I'm tired of hearing about Wii's graphical power. If you want to complain about it, keep it to yourself. If you want the best possible graphics in the world get yourself and Xbox 360 or a PS3. The Wii can't compete graphically with those other home consoles, so get over it already!
