The kids bought a Nintendo Wii last night. I'm pretty proud of them. They've been pretty good about saving their holiday cash and decided to pool their resources together and buy one. They've actually had enough money for one for quite sometime, but their Mother and I have been encouraging them (ie: not letting them buy one) to wait until they can actually afford a game too.
So I was surfing the net and found Futureshop (essentially BestBuy in Canada) had them on sale. so we decided now's the time. I picked it up on the way home last night, without the kids knowing we got it (they thought they were going to have to wait 'til today). The kids were asleep when I got home so I decided to set it up, looking forward to that new Nintendo smell that always brings me back to my early youth. I open up the box, empty the contents onto the floor (I don't actually care about the Wii), hold the box up to my face and take a big wiff... nothing! Well, not nothing, it did smell like cardboard, but what the hell?! No new Nintendo smell. I feel so ripped off. No trips back in time were had. Fail.
Why do you think I bought all 3 kids their own Nintendo DS for Christmas? It wasn't for the games... perhaps that was the last fix I'll ever get.
Perhaps the Wii smells like snot? We may never know.
