Odyssey

Hey, how are yas? I hate these mandatory introductions, but it'd be weird I guess, if I just started randomly posting here without one. People would be all like "who does THIS guy think he is?!"

So anyway, yeah, here I am introducing myself to avoid that kind of thing.

My name is Brian, I'm an Australian. I like games and currently play a lot of 360. After passing on the Wii this gen, I'm really looking forward to the Wii U. I guess you could say that throughout my lifetime, I've been a bit of a Nintendo fan. I loved the SNES. I was among the first to go out and get a Nintendo 64, snubbed my nose at the Playstation for a good couple of years. Enjoyed playing my Gamecube. By the time the Wii came around though, I was more-or-less happy where I was with the 360. Plus, I'm an old gamer-dude from way back, so the new control system didn't really appeal to me.

When I get myself a Wii U, I think it'll probably be time to check out some of the Wii's library though, like the Mario Galaxy and Zelda games.

I'm pretty excited about the Wii U. Seems like a return to form from Nintendo, and then some. It looks like they are trying more than ever to assist 3rd-parties in making quality software (as opposed to hogging all the know-how so that the 1st-party games stand out). I can see the U-troller being really useful in games too, having the touchscreen will hopefully do away with a lot of cumbersome control-stick menu navigation.

Anyway, that's about it I guess. Hi
