&tI think I may be one of the people that get Wii elbow or whatever you want to call it.

I finally got through the first dungeon on Twilight Princess the other day. It took me about 3 hours to get from the beginning to the end, though I did take a couple of breaks while I was doing it. I think this is going to be a long, fun game.

I downloaded Super Mario Bros., Altered Beast, and Dungeon Explorer from the Virtual Console. Retro fun! I’m excited about some of the games that are going to be on the VC soon, but I’m still wondering when we’ll see Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and A Link to the Past.

I rented Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii from Gamefly and it should be here any day now.

Last week I reserved Wii Play mostly because it comes with a Wii Remote. Those remotes cost $50 by themselves and they are hard to find around here. I don’t think they’re taking anymore reserves on that game. It’ll be out in about a month.

Today I reserved a copy of Warioware: Smooth Moves and it will be out next week. It seems like it could be a cool party game. I don’t know much about it so I’m taking a leap of faith. If only I already had that second controller.

The GameStop employees seem cooler these days, so I’m happy to hook them up with some reserves. I know that there are some new people there and some old people are gone, but part of it may be because the Christmas season and the PS3/Wii launch are over.

I get these urges to get back into online game every once in a while. I thought about getting my Xbox Live subscription started again, but they just don’t have any games I want to play. Now I really think I want to play City of Heroes again. We’ll see what happens with that.

So with all this going on I don’t need to buy any more games between now and the end of the decade.
