I have apparently reverted back to my 10 year old self when I could spend hours on my nintendo. Both last night and tonight I have spent about two hours on the stupid wii. I haven't been interested in video games in more than 20 years, but the wii has made them fun again.
So last night I played Mario Galaxy. It is so much fun. I am not so great with managing the two-handed controllers, but I do ok. You have to crawl across planets all around far-away galaxies. Inside, outside, upside down.
Tonight I started Paper Mario. I swear there was 15 minutes of dialog before I did anything. Paper Mario is ok, and getting better as I go along, but I am so tired of reading. Every 30 seconds you have to stop and read something. And sometimes conversations go on way too long.
So if you are a new wii owner, I definitely recommed Mario Galaxy over Paper Mario.
As for the kids--they prefer the stuff that came loaded on the wii. PS's favorite is making new mii characters. The twins will play some of the sports games, but just aren't too much into it.
And just in case you think I am ruining my kids minds with video games, we spent at least 30 minutes tonight playing Boggle. But the kids kept getting mad because they never won. I think we are going to have to instute kid rules and adult rules (like maybe the adult words have to be a 4 or 5 letter minimum). We already waived the "letters have to touch" rule for the twins. I figure that at six years old, if they are picking out any words they are doing pretty well.

I loved Mario as a kid! I don't look forward to the time Pumpkinhead gets a Nintendo or other machine. Time sucker!
