Diary of a Wii Virgin... continued

By Steve Wollaston on Apr 15, 09 09:44 AM

So. I probably still haven't grasped this whole Wii thing as much as I could have. I love it. But I haven't dedicated the hours yet - unlike the kids and my other half.

BUT all this is about to change. Colleague of mine and fellow Mercury blogger Dan Smith has been telling me about the merits of the Wii Store.

For a sad old retro junkie like me to find out that you can download C64 games, N64 games and the like it really was sheer bliss.

Tonight I will be mostly downloading Jet Set Willy, Winter Games, Goldeneye, Mario Kart and Super Punch-Out.

Absolutely the best news I have heard in ages!

Steve Wollaston - Sunday Mercury games reviewer Steve has been writing about video games for donkey's years. In fact he is probably far too old for it now which is why you will see a lot of reviews been done by kids... He has been nominated three times for Regional Games Journalist Of The Year at the Games Media Awards, but never wins. His major love is sports games and rates Sensible World of Soccer circa 90's as the greatest game ever made - closely followed by Championship Manager 2. Skyrim has currently taken over his life.
