I've had my Wii going on a couple of weeks now, and it's a fantastic success. Zelda is stunning - while the graphics are merely great, the game-play is superb, and the controllers are the icing on the cake. Wii Sports is superb fun, especially with friends, although it does seem a little light sometimes - more a technology demo than a full game. And Monkey Ball has quite a learning curve, given the new control mechanism, but is nonetheless great fun.

I have yet to try the Virtual Console - first I need to track down a GameCube controller, and I'm tempted to go the full hog and get wireless.

Unfortunately, I was so enthralled I went and spent more money. Thanks to the temptresses at Amazon I now have a 26“ widescreen LCD, for a smidgen over £400. It's smashing - the Wii looks great on it, and it's fantastic to be able to watch the BBC in widescreen. All we need now is HDTV broadcasts (and the inevitable PVR upgrade for such).

In the meantime, though, more Zelda...
