Attention Wii Owners

Rock Band is coming to the Wii. It will not feature online play or downloadable songs, which does make the PS3 version better. However, you will get an additional five songs and a white version of the drums. I will go play "Here It Goes Again" on the drums for you in honor of this awesome news.

It's getting cold out, put a jacket on

Hey Wii owners, Nintendo has created a non-slip rubber jacket for their Wii Remote. Starting October 15th you will find the jackets in all Wii systems and individual remotes. However, if you bought a system and additional remotes before the 15th Nintendo will ship you up to four jackets for FREE. Go to their official site to have the Big N send you the accessory. This is going to cost Nintendo over $17 million.

A Wii Bit of Fun

This weekend we got a Wii. I know what most of you are thinking, "Jimmie, you have a PS3 why did you buy a Wii?" The answer is simple: I got a great deal on it. You see, I had $205 worth of Best Buy gift cards that needed to be spent by the end of October. I was able to talk Christina in to it by telling her you can download classic Nintendo games, like Super Mario Brothers and Zelda, onto it. She also liked the idea of me only spending $45.

I would have bought it sooner than this weekend except Best Buy never had them in stock. Finally, I was able to track one down in Merced. We spent the weekend with our friends Paul and Caroline playing tennis, baseball, golf, bowling and boxing. Good times.

For now I only have Wii Sports and Wii Play (I only bought this one for the extra controller). For those of you with a Wii (or have played one) please leave me any suggestions on games to rent or buy.
