I
have owned every Nintendo console (except the Virtual Boy) since the
8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System graced my living room, opening my
eyes to a whole new world of video gaming. Obviously the visuals and
sound were unlike anything I had played at the time, but more than that
the experiences the NES brought to the table were new. Never before had I
seen sports games or action games - or adventure and role-playing games
like this. The technology brought with it not just bells and whistles,
but innovative new possibilities in game play. Now that the Wii U is
upon us, I wanted to take a look back at the original Wii, and reflect
on my experiences with this unique gaming console.

Now that I am in this seasonal cycle of updating the look of my blog, it's then time to welcome in an upcoming holiday, and a new color scheme. The white on black is my personal favorite, but I live in a state where it gets very white, very bright and very cold. I therefore went with some lighter shades - especially the purples as that is easily my wife's favorite color.
