Adam and Dave, a good friend of mine in Maryland, have had their eyes out for months trying to get a Wii for me. Dave finally got lucky and happened to walk into a store the very moment they put 5 new Wiis on the shelf. He was fourth in line and barely had time to ship it down to Adam before he flew over.
The Wii has proven to be a hit (literally) with the entire family. Aidan bowled a strike the first time he tried the Wii Sports game (intended for ages 7+) and seems to be a natural. He drops the ball nearly as often as he sends it down the lane, but when he lets it flies, he fires them straight, picking up frequent spares and strikes. Even Stephanie, who has only ever expressed marginal interest in two other video games for as long as I've known her, and my 55-year-old mother got into it.
Here is an intense picture of the two of them duking it out in Wii Sports boxing, yes Boxing, with the two-handed controller while Adam looks on and provides some tips on form & technique.
What a knock-out, huh?
