I didn&#8217;t buy it, I inherited it from my cousin who moved back to Hong Kong.  Although the console is free, but it does not come with any controllers.  So I have to spent some money to buy a few controllers.  $15 a Wii remote with nunchuk from eBay, much cheaper than buying from Future Shop.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, I never own any gaming console.  I never have a Red-white Nintendo, no a Sega, not Playstation, no XBox.  I am used to playing games on my computer.  Wii is the first console I have and I did not even buy it.  The feeling of playing games on TV is quite different.  I feel I have less piracy because anyone walk by can see my screen.  Playing games on the couch is actually not as comfortable as sitting on office chair in front of the computer.  The couch is designed for sitting lay back, passively receive the content from the TV.  Playing Wii requires active interaction and naturally draw your body closer to the TV, which is not the most comfortable position.<\/p>\n<p>I have been debating whether or not soft mod my Wii for a few days.  On one hand, I don&#8217;t want to go over the trouble of soft mod the Wii and risk bricking it.  On the other hand, I would never spend $50 on a game.  At last I swallow my pride as an engineer, paid $40 and let someone soft mod it for me.  Soft mod is a must for Wii to play download games.  So far I have downloaded a dozen of games, I have spent a bit more some time playing Super Mario and the Gundam Wii game which I think eventually I may finish them.  For the other games, I opened each one of them and lost interested pretty soon.  I found playing Video game is just a waste of time in general, especially some games won&#8217;t foster any collective memory.<\/p>\n<p>Other than playing downloaded games, the bonus of soft mod my Wii is the Home Brew Channel.  (Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wiibrew.org\">Wiibrew<\/a>)  I can run all soft of applications and thinker with my Wii.  I installed Google Earth for Wii, a VNC client to copy my desktop from my TV over the Wii using the Wii remote as a mouse.  The gold mine is really tons of ancient gaming console emulator.  I can downloaded ROMs of old games from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snesorama.us\">Snesorama<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romnation.net\">ROM Nation<\/a>.  I have played old games with emulator on my computer, but it&#8217;s different.  You gotta play console games on a TV.  I found I enjoy playing those ancient games more than the new Wii games.  I feel like the Wii emulators finally filling the hole in my heart that I did not own any console game in childhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got a Wii, 3 years later to the party.
