It’s about time Wii see something worthwhile

I love my wii don’t get me wrong, but to be honest things have been disappointing as of late. The only things to look forward for on the console have been repetitively pushed back *cough*Smash Brothers *cough* . This is something to get excited about again.

Nintendo announced a pay and play type channel, similar sounding to the XBOX live. You will be able to pay extra for certain games to play online like MMOS and also to be able to buy additional content for games that you already own. This explains why all of a sudden a Wii Rock Band becomes probable out of no where. When that does come out, much to the displease of my neighbors, I am going to buy.

There is still a lot of time and not enough info for Nintendo to mess this up and it not be worth the hype (like American Idol)

The other big Wii news last week was the Commodore 64 games are coming to the virtual console. I for one am stoked. I grew up playing the C64 and I am glad to see its return.
