I have been playing the Nintendo Wii a lot lately. A recent television advertisement caused me great excitement. It was for a remake of the 1997 videogame classic, GoldenEye.
John came round on Friday and we made the trip to Asda to purchase the prestige title. On first impressions, I am pleased. It isn’t a direct, jazzed-up port of the Nintendo 64 gem. Instead, it offers some new features.
Due to the style of the game, it is recommended a ‘classic’ or Gamecube controller is used, as opposed to the Wii Remote and nunchuck which is packaged with the console. Unfortunately, I only have one Gamecube pad, so poor Johnny had to do battle with a fiddly Wii remote. New pads will soon be purchased/stolen/made, so both GoldenEye and Mario Kart can be played.
In other Wii Wii news, I suffered another bout of excitement at the discovery of another upcoming title – Donkey Kong Country. It seems like Nintendo are bringing back all the games I loved as a kid.

Like me, you have probably noticed that it isn't unusual to see very young children playing on iPads, Fire tablets and the like.
Is this the norm these days?
It amuses me how there are no doubt one-year-old babies, who know more about using an iPad than their 60-year-old granddad.
