  Wii Want Candy!

  I lol'd when I saw that my sister had brought home a candy dispenser with the shape of the wiimote, it holds candies inside and launches them when the button Z is pressed. The candies are actually good. A funny fact is the Nintendo's seal of quality printed on the package.

  The Master is upon us

  Assassin's Creed 2 is finally out, with it came New Super Mario Bros Wii and Pro Evolution Soccer 2010. Now, Mario and Pro Evolution are already underway but what about Assassin's Creed 2? Well, the master release of the year will have to wait a little longer to be played by me, which is sad. I have too many games I still haven't even touched, like Prince of Persia (Xbox 360) and I have to study as well (something I did scarcely), I'll hopefully get this game soon, but right now I'll just enjoy the games I got and try to control myself since I've been getting too many games while my interest in gaming has been strangely decreasing.

  Wii Motion Plus - They should ship me with an apology.

  Now that I've finally gotten my Wii out of the box, I went for some games. Many WiiWare games interest me -- Mega Man 9, World of Goo, Contra. Several virtual console are worth re-checking -- Mario Bros, Castlevania, Mega Man. Some other physical game releases are interesting, some are worth checking out, some not so much, I hope I can find something good in the middle of it all. I get some games, I find fun on some of them but then it hit me: I still don't have that "Wii Motion Plus" thingy, some say it's the next best thing to have when it come to Wii, hardcore stuff, I say ok I'll get it. I look online just to see how the prices are going and all, only for me to decide I should go to a store some time next week. Well, I'm sincerely not interested in Wii Sports Resort. Maybe I should just get Tiger Woods 10 and pay the extra cash and get the others separately for the rest of the controllers. There's two or three games I'm looking forward to check out and some of them take advantage of this little "add-on to enhance the gaming experience" like Nintendo once charmingly said.
  
  But now I've been giving some more thoughts on the matter and I'm quite reluctant on purchasing it. I'll burn quite an amount of cash just to "fix" all my controllers? After all, as much as Nintendo would like me to believe this device is only for those willing to go beyond and experience more immersion in their gaming needs, I know this is not it. This is the correction of a problem, like PC games shipped with bugs and glitches somewhere within, only for later the developers give us patches to eliminate any previously undetected problem. I feel like I shouldn't have to buy this thing. Think about it, if this thing really "enhances" the experience, it means it is better, right? If it's better, why wouldn't everyone want it? Of course very few developers use this right now, but in the future not far away I hope, what we now call a simply "add-on" will be mandatory. Essential for decent releases, because softhouses only looking to earn some easy dough over the Wii's massive casual userbase won't bother, they'll just create something snappy and say it's like "nothing you've ever seen", and it'll work.
  
  Now the Wii installed base is of roughly 55 million people, and right now 2 to 5 million have this little thing (according to GameSpot). That's very supportive for developers to start creating games to take advantage of this Motion Plus huh? But Nintendo was already struggling to get more third party support without it, I imagine how this will turn out when it comes to all this.
  
  I think Nintendo should ship this thing to my house with a note saying: "I'm sorry we sold you an unfinished product, here's the fix! Cya!". Quite a dream I'm having huh? After all, what are they waiting to start making controllers with this thing already implemented? To that I don't have an answer, or maybe I have.
