I am saddened to say that I was almost beat by a 3 year old at Wii Sports bowling. I must have been having an off night, because the alternative of Drake being that good is just horrible to think about. I really thought that it would take much longer for the kid to become as good as the parent.
My score of 155 is low for me. Just last week I bowled a 213, but I average 175-185. Drake’s score of 131 is his highest yet; he bowled a 121 the very next game.
The single most impressive thing about this game happened in the 8th frame. Drake was faced with a 4 – 6 split and managed to pull it off. I would love to say that it was a happy accident, but for all I know he is a master. He managed to hit the 4 just left of center which sent it to the back wall. The pin then shot back forward and took out the 6 pin. My jaw dropped; I couldn’t believe what I just saw.
The first frame of the game was my worst in a long time. With only knocking down 8 pins I almost restarted, and had I been playing with Theresa I probably would have. My skill points drop from this single game was heartbreaking.
Overall Drake played a great game getting 2 strikes and picking up 3 spares. He gets so excited with he gets a strike or spare, jumping up and and down shouting “I did it!”
I got an email from Think Geek early this week. Sometimes I read them, sometimes I do not. This particular email had a new product in it, the Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System. This intrigued me because Brooke and I used to play all the old Nintendo games while eating Oreo pudding. We tried to do this some time ago, but failed. Our NES and SNES do not work as they are supposed to.
This is where Think Geek came to the rescue. It arrived on Friday via UPS and was opened within minutes. After spending just seconds hooking it up I was off to the races with Paperboy!
The SNES portion worked great! Now it was time to check on the NES slot.
joystiq.com got a hands on with the new Tetris Party for the Wii!
Nintendo claims there are 18 modes, 10 of which are new, but we only agree technically; the company counts some modes twice as single- and multi-player games. (Most modes support up to four players on one system, and a few work with up to six online.) We tore into as many as we could before overloading like a kid on a Halloween sugar-high. Here’s how they stand up.
The best part? It’s supposed to be out this month! Anyone want to buy me some Wii Points!
