More Fun with Wii…

Earlier in the week, before my job got the best of me I started in on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. So far, this game has been outstanding! I’m loving the tactile swordfighting and horseriding and the story has been pretty interesting so far.

The other mainstay in the Wii right now is Wii Sports. I’m approaching Pro status in Bowling, and we’ve already had some friends over for Boxing. We’ve played only a little bit of Wario Smooth Moves, however I am sure that will change if I get more than a few minutes with some other people in the room to play along.

I’m finding that there is a significant amount of fun in creating Mii’s (the little avatars that you get to use in the games). So far we’ve done Mii’s for me, Tasha, , , , and her boyfriend. Anyone else who comes over to play needs to expect to spend about 15 minutes making themselves a character.

For inspiration, I submit to you ShowMii.com. This site presents a celebrity Mii look-alike each day, so you can see what is possible with the relatively simple palette that you are provided.

If you want to try out making a Mii, there is a Flash-based clone interface that you can play with. Fun stuff!
