Nintendo Wii and stuff

Last Wednesday I had the joy of being at the Athens Hilton for the official presentation of Wii in Greece. As I expected, lots of people were there, although I hadn't seen any type of mass media covering it beforehand.

I had a blast with Metroid and lots of fun with Wario despite the limited number of mini games available. I satisfyingly managed to finish the entire Metroid demo, which wasn't too short, and I didn't feel too sad for not having the opportunity to play Zelda: Twilight Princess. I had been watching far too many visitors play the exact same demo to not be able to imagine how it would feel had I actually tried it. Pictures coming soon.

Update: Last night I went to my neighbourhood's Γερμανός (Germanos), to see if they would have any Wii consoles available for purchase on the launch date (December 8 for Europe beside Spain). Turns out nobody knew anything about this previously "unheard of" console except something about "a PS3 that we know is coming out in March". Crazy people.

Since Nintendo Greece has sold out its own Wii supply, I decided I'll be receiving a free Wii by winning their website's lottery. No I'm not crazily optimistic, just often lucky. I'm chanting as we speak!
