I’m not a huge gaming fan, but I do like to play a few games here and there. I have the PlayStation 2, and I’m a Final Fantasy fanatic. Maybe not to the same extent as my friend, who gets a stiffee thinking about Spiderman, but I do like it enough to be crazy about it.

Originally, I wanted to get the PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII. Then I heard how much the PS3 cost, I figured I wouldn’t buy a next gen console. Xbox 360 doesn’t have any games I want to play, and the PS3’s too expensive. I didn’t even think about Nintendo.

Then I saw some clips from E3 about the Nintendo Wii, and that got me a excited, like a fanboy meeting his “hero.” It seemed like a lot of fun. Swinging the controller to play tenis, or holding both parts of the controller like a bow and arrow. When they announced the price at $250, I wanted one. It looks fun and its’ cheap. The problem was third party support. I didnt’ just want to play Mario on the new system. Now, even this doesn’t seem like a big problem. Companies seem to like the controller. The latest to join the Nintendo camp? EA.
