My Wii Experience

It all started with this sms:

FROM: Sister
i am bringin d nintendo wii game back 2nite.pls try n give me feedback. tq

So I was cordinally invited by my sis to test the Nintendo Wii her company just bought for a promotion they are doing soon. They are not promoting Wii but using it to attract customers.

For those who dunno what is Nintendo Wii.....well its a new game console introduced by Nintendo. Its very unique in the sense that it changes the way people play console game. Usually u uses a joystick or controller to play...however in Wii....u uses its controller like as an object in the game. Example if u r playing tennis, the controller serves as a tennis racquet handle...hence u play the game by really swingging the controller as if u r really playing tennis. Movement of the controller are sensed by a sensor you place on top of your TV. For more info about Nintendo Wii, please visit their website @ http://wii.nintendo.com/

OK...back to me cerita....

So here i am...like a small kid wanting ice cream when i saw the Wii console on the floor. I give the manual a few flip through n immediately pasang the console.


Nintendo Wii console ah.


Nintendo Wii console with wiress controller ah.


There is a lanyard attach with the controller....any before any games begin, there is a reminder to remind u to strap the lanyard to your wrist so it won't accidently fly off your hand while u swing it and break something...most common is your TV.


** Fasten the lanyard to your wrist like this....to avoid accidently launching any "projectile" controller towards ur TV, home hi-fi, mirror mirror on the wall, out of your house via the balcony or ur sleeping cat on the TV ** warning by Siew :P


The sensor which sense your controller movement. Also I suspect there is a motion detecter in the controller which sense your wrist movement.


There is also another warning (yes...this is a warning) to remind you to clear off a radius of area surrounding you....coz u r going to swing ur arm in multi directions according to the game...and i am sure u do not want to hit anyone while doing that. So I clear of an area about 6 square feet....enuf for me to play Wii tennis as shown in the pic above...hehehehe.

Then while playing.....aiks notice got kipas. Aiks...dangerous, later hand hit kipas how...cialat lor.

Realize the kipas is quite low also...alamak...susah ni.

So I test test....see my hand can reach the kipas or not.

Ah....luckily tak sampai.....now can continue play Wii tennis d.

Wah...play for 1 hour d...sweating a lot liao. Started from level 4 now see see...

play until level 381 d...terror leh...also the game start to feel like real tennis d now.

Opppsss.....din notice a danger just now. I reach my hand to touch the fan...but clearly won't kena....but then din realize this type of fan got a short tali to adjust the speed wan. This tali clearly my hand can hit.

Look closely...can see the tali geh.....very low saja.

Then it hapen.... **pring prang**...hand hit the tali.

The tali terus putus....kena repair with tapes......haihzzzzz...

So summary of my Nintendo Wii experience are:
- Nice to play....its seriously is something new.
- Good innovation...those jipun fellow in Nintendo really got good brain to come up with this console.
- Graphic and sound ok ok saja lah...standard stuffs lor, nothing spectacular.
- Din't really get me glued to the TV...maybe its the game which is not exciting.
- Good for exercise...i seriously sweat a lot playing Wii tennis.

lastly:
- Seriously make sure your radius of play area is clear...inclusinf overhead n underhead.
