Why is it that many people still have no idea of what the Nintendo Wii is? Nintendo hasn’t started marketing it too much yet. I think that this is a good delay, Nintendo won’t be bombed with demand on their launch date, people just now hearing about the Wii will be able to wait a bit for theirs, and people like me will be wearing cleats to conquer the long lines at the store…I’m joking, my Wii has been pre-ordered.
Nintendo’s $200 Million marketing campaign for the Wii begins.

Only six days remaining…

I was browsing through the launch titles and these games caught my eye:

• The Ant Bully- Another Bugdom/A Bug’s Life-like video game. I know that I don’t want it, but someone will buy me it and then I won’t put it down until I’ve beat it.

• Call of Duty 3: I’m not a COD fanboy, but I know enough people who are to know that I need this.

• Excite Truck: Big truck racing, looks intense.

• Far Cry: Vengeance- I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.

• Rampage: Total Destruction- I’ve always been a Rampage addict, right next to Spy Hunter.

• Rayman Raving Rabbids- I could barely put down Rayman 2 on the DreamCast.

• Red Steel- Katanas + guns + Unreal Engine + Wii = I’m so there

• Tamagotchi- A lovable egg video game!? Who needs to sleep when you have a pixelicious pet to take care of?

• Trama Center: Second Opinion- It reminds me of that one Invader Zim episode where Zim goes into Dib’s body in a shrunken Irken space ship and attacks it, and then Gaz battles Zim remotely, as if it were a video game.

• WarioWare: Smooth Moves- WarioWare owns, mini-game madness.

Non-launch titles:

• Medal of Honor: Airborne- A new MOH? I sense staying up late with friends owning bots with strange names in multiplayer mode.

As far as PC gaming goes right now, I probably won’t be doing much other than classics and Tremulous until Unreal Tournament 2007 and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars are released.
