The nieces got a Wii from their grandmother for Christmas.

Yes, I know this is an insane gift for a 5 and 3 year old. It's perfect for all the adults in the family, though!

I've just now found out that you can download N64 and SNES and whatever games to the Wii. Well, I'm a happy Connie :)

Incidentally, playing Mario Galaxy, I have a question. If Toadstool (Peach, that is) can send out mail and 1-ups, why the heck can't she just escape already? And is there a reason Bowser repeatedly kidnaps Toad and other Mushroom Kingdom denizens, only to place them strategically where they can give Mario great advice? Who does that? Why would he do that? (I wonder if maybe, just maybe, it's not the Princess that Bowser's so interested in. This could all be his way of pulling Mario's pigtails.)

Happy new year, by the way. And no, I don't capitalize that - I want this whole year to be happy, thank you very much.

Which games do you/they have besides Mario Galaxy?

[conuly]

Some sports thing. They don't really have Galaxy either, they just rented it. I've been playing it with my sister. I collect gems and SAVE HER LIFE by killing monsters, she runs around as a fool being Mario.

Because Bowser gets sick pleasure out of playing with everyone's minds. Or at least, that's how it works in Mario Party.

But that's how he keeps losing!

You expect the insane villain to be logical?!

[conuly]

Well... yes, actually. Some degree of sense and logic is needed to carry out his absurd little plans, isn't it? if he didn't have some way of seeing them through to the end they'd fall apart a lot faster, wouldn't they?

Clearly, he has not read his Evil Overlord Handbook.

All the kids, save Annika, love the Wii sports. And Michael and Seth are actually insanely good at it.

You should let the girls try it.

Annika loves the Wii too. Or at least, chewing on the Wii jacket, anyway...

[conuly]

I should let? Ha! As it is their parents barely drag them off so that we can play Mario while the kidlets wait!

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, ok. I thought when you said that it was an insane gift for them, that they weren't getting to play it.
