I got one of these for Christmas, mainly because my mother was so desperate to get me something, anything, that I just threw it out as a suggestion off the top of my head. I hate getting Christmas presents, my mother knows it, and she knows that I know if I don't suggest something, she'll get me something anyway and I will almost certainly hate it. Every year I have to either regift or throw away a third to half of what I get.
I'm not sure what to do with the Wii. I set it up tonight, knowing that you can download classic games for it. I prefer classic games because I'm an uncomplicated gamer -- tell me a good story and do it with decent graphics and nice music. I don't need so many sidequests and minigames, every single one of which comes with its own rules and learning curve, that a strategy guide for the game comes out to about the same thickness as the Chicago white pages.
I'd been looking forward to downloading all sorts of great old games... only to discover that none of the ones I wanted are available to download. Not Final Fantasy 3 (aka 6), not Earthbound, not Illusion of Gaia, not Chrono Trigger.
So, meh. I'm pissed off a little. It's certainly not my mother's fault, but I wish she'd just once -- just once -- listen to me and not get me anything. She wouldn't waste her money and I wouldn't feel guilty at having been saddled with a mountain of crap I don't need, don't want, and now have to get rid of somehow. But I am pissed off.
Anybody want a Wii? I'm so disgusted with this situation...
