Nintendo We

And so Jo-Lo continues the gaming legacy in our family as we bought a Nintendo Wii last weekend. The Wii is quite a popular console with families here, as we know of three who have one at home. We enjoy playing the Wii so much whenever we visit that I guess it was just a matter of time before we had one. Plus, the attraction of being able to play it as a family is a big plus.

Jo-Lo discovering his talent at bowling

This reminds me of that happy time when I was a kid as well and we had our first ever gaming console, a Nintendo with the game cartridge. We finished Mario World, discovered the secret warp stages, played on, discovered unlimited lives, played some more. We played Contra and learned Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right Select Start, we stayed til late at night playing Tetris and Battle City, our Nanay and Auntie even join in a lot of the games.

I went through a number of gaming consoles and handhelds in my time and I immensely enjoyed being a gamer. Heck, I still enjoy it even now! And I'm sure Jo-Lo will be around to join me in many games to come.

Now, to check out a really good price for Super Mario World Wii...
