We just got a Wii!

This message was sent using the Picture and Video Messaging service from Verizon Wireless!

The wife and I decided to trade one of our Xbox 360's in for a Nintendo Wii. The Wii has a better selection of kid friendly games and you can get all the old Mario games for it!!! My step mother would love the Wii. She calls the Mario games Hipity Hop???

Instead of saying I want to play Super Mario brothers she says.....I want to play Hipity Hop! It would be very entertaining to watch her play now with the new wireless controllers that you have to wave around in order to move your character. Have you ever watched someone play a video game and move as if their personal movement would actually help your character in the video game move? She used to bounce on the couch when she wanted Mario to jump! Now with the Wii controllers it might actually help her. We used to laugh when she'd dramatically bounce on the couch to jump higher.

Well I am going to go check the Wii out and see how hard it is to control things with the crazy controllers!
