Hmmmm Wii!

So, I've (re)turned to emulation and started playing through Earthbound. Can't explain why. I like the game, but last time, I got to a certain spot (that I can't remember now due to the length of time that has passed since I first played it) and just stopped playing. So now I've returned... kind of. I've only just started and played for maybe an hour or so. The other thing grabbing for my attention is Maple Story once again. I stopped playing for a few months because my feeble dial-up connection wouldn't update the game without dying. Anyway, it's updated finally and I'm back in it. It's pretty good not playing it for a while because they added a whole lot of new quests for me to do. Since I don't play it for great lengths of time, I level really slowly... it's taken about 4 months perhaps to get from 43 to 44. One downer is that a friend who I met in game and he was pretty cool, I haven't seen him since getting back in, which is disappointing. Anyway...

New DS game... Big Brain Academy. Pretty cool. And when you're trying to get platinum medals, it's quite challenging. I can't seem to get my brain to operate better though, so it could be quite some time before I get platinums outside of my Identify specialty.

Wii news is going to be rather interesting in like, 7 days from now... hopefully Nintendo are finally going to announce when the heck it's going to be sold. It would be nice if they pulled some awesome launch stunt or something, but my instincts tell me that it's just going to be regular Nintendo, "Here's the date and the price." and they'll be pretty much what most game news sites have already rumoured and speculated.
