I constantly wake up in the middle of the night flicking my wrist around in the air after dreaming about playing Twilight Princess. This has been the longest goddamn wait for anything, ever. It's like waiting for Christmas x1000.

Boy, that must suck. The last 14 months of my life have been spent sitting on the computer reading the news on the console and waiting for the fucking thing to come out. If I don't download the Wii web browser, you guys will never see me again. ... seriously.

This will be the last weekend I ever go without Wii. That makes me both happy, and sad in a way. GameCube will officially be dead, but I'll finally get to bust my nut over Twilight Princess.

I still regret selling my 'Cube..it's funny (or not, really) because the GameCube has probably become the most underrated video game system ever.
It's good that I'll be able to experience all the stuff I missed out on when I get the Wii. Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, plus Twilight Princess and Wii Sports. I'm a happy gal.

I'm worried Nintendo's gonna get lazy and port GameCube games to the Wii ad nauseum. Jesus guys, I've spent four years bored to death and underwhelmed with Super Mario Sunshine, if you make me play it for another four years with tacked on Wii controls, heads are gonna roll.

Those damn platform levels on Sunshine when you died and it did that stupid horn music I'd get really angry and throw my controller

I hope to get a Wii at launch. I'm so happy it's coming out on a Sunday.

They were classic, straightforward Super Mario Bros. levels reborn in 3D. I loved them to death. They were frustrating as all fuck, but that's what they were supposed to be. I'd love to see a full game done in that style, with power-ups and everything. Super Mario Galaxy may (MAY) be just that, only with the gravitational gimmick. Hopefully they'll throw in some retro power-ups.
I'm sick of the philosophy of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. "Okay, you're in a box, and there are doorways to other boxes, and you've gotta explore the boxes and collect useless shit". No, that's not Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. is, "okay, you start here, and you've gotta get to the finish, while jumping on Goombas, busting blocks, and getting power-ups."
That's Super Mario Bros.

I have nooooo idea what the hell is up with Super Paper Mario. It was supposed to be out last month. I'd assume they're busy rebranding it for Wii.

I'm saving all the ads in the paper today. This thing occurs only once every half-decade. On a side note, it doesn't seem like many retailers are correctly marketing the DS. I saw an advertisement for the DS Lite, and the games they had were like Barbie's Magical Adventure, some lame movie-based game, a Pokeymans game, and then Yoshi's Island DS. I wish they would show off some of the more interesting games for the DS. I'm excited for Yoshi's Island, at least. EDIT: Took this last night at EB Games

So, what launch titles are people planning on getting. I'm most certainly getting Zelda. And maybe one or two games. I'm thinking Excitetruck and a game yet to be identified, MAYBE Red Steel, I doubt that one, but I want something that involves shoot guns with the Wii remote.

I'm just getting Zelda. I was going to get Red Steel, but the PS3 is going to kill my wallet. I want two PS3 games and two Wii games. I also want to get another remote for each and a Wii Points card.

I talk a lot of crap about the PS3, I'm not excited about it, but if I could, I probably would get one. But it's more than I'm willing to spend at this time with the Wii and Christmas so close. Plus, I know how many PS3 units my local Target is getting in thanks to my mom, and let's just say if it's any indication of the norm, there is no chance in hell I'll be stumbling across one that day.

I may get Excitetruck as well. Those two, along with Wii Sports should keep me busy for a while.

3 days. I can't fucking believe it. The only thing that's keeping me sane is Three's Company reruns and masturbation.
