Last night, John and Simon came round. For the first time since I bought the console, we managed to try out some 3-player gaming on the Wii, thanks to John buying two more control pads.

The reason I bought the Wii in the first place. Very disappointing in multiplayer mode. Absolutely nothing like the original Perhaps if we gave it more time, we might be able to get used to the complex controls and new levels, but it certainly lacks the charm and instant, easy to play game play of the 1997 classic. We soon gave up.
Mario Kart
According to the TV adverts, a favourite in the Redknapp and JLS households. Also well liked by both John and myself. Simon, who is about as much a fan of racing games as John is of football, was a lot less enthusiastic. However, after forcing it upon him and pouring pizza and cider down his throat, I think he eventually started to enjoy it. Although he’ll never admit to it, of course.
Mario Kart is a lot more fun and has retained the appeal of the SNES classic. It is still extremely enraging, especially when you are within a split-second of crossing the finish line, only to be hit by a blue shell from a mate about 8 places behind you.

Like me, you have probably noticed that it isn't unusual to see very young children playing on iPads, Fire tablets and the like.
