Our New Year's resolutions: Wii edition

Now that the sun has set on 2007, it's time for the Wii Fanboy staff to start laying down some New Year's resolutions, such as resolving not to use tired metaphors about the sun setting on stuff. So, without further ado, here are each of the staff's personal goals for 2008 (Wii-related ones, obviously. It goes without saying that I'd like to try to stop having wine for breakfast, but some things just aren't appropriate topics of conversation here):
- Alisha: I resolve to populate YouTube with many short films of my forthcoming baby playing Wii. Of course, since he's not even gonna get here until February, you can probably replace "playing" with "lying there looking pissed while Mommy makes him hold a Wii remote."
- David: I resolve to actually keep my job and not fall into a shame spiral of bad hygiene and lone nights crying alone as I play nothing but Smash Bros. Brawl in February. Hopefully I'll find the courage to not be sucked into that vacuum.
- Mike: I resolve to not buy ten new games before beating the last one. That either means I'll be spending more time playing games (yikes!), or just buying less of them. The more games I get, the harder it becomes for me to finish any of them, and even a masterpiece like Super Mario Galaxy ends up sitting at a measly 61 star gets, princess saved, and no green overalls.
- JC: I resolve to make a deal with Mike that could solve both our problems. (Here's how it works: Mike continues to buy too many games, but sends them to me instead. I play them until he is ready to start another one. There are no flaws with this perfect plan.)
- Candace: I resolve to not laugh at my mom anymore when she plays Wii ... even though she looks really, really ridiculous.
- Chris: To not excitedly squeal like a schoolgirl the first dozen times I insert No More Heroes into my Wii. This will almost certainly end with abject failure. And to beat my cousin, who is LESS THAN HALF MY FRICKEN' AGE, at Guitar Hero III. The child has the fingers of Hendrix.
- Eric: In the Year 200ERIC, I will exercise with Wii Fit while wearing a Banana yellow suit and a huge pair of shades, singing out "Too Wii Fit to Quit" like it's going out of style. Was it ever in style? Hey, HAAYYYYYYY!

LOL, i guess i have to be in the same situation of Mike, currently I plan to buy about 8 new games by the end of March, and I still have backlog back to Sonic and the Secret Rings (my first Wii game) to beat. I usually just play games for about 10 hours, then buy a new one, and dont go back to beating any game until about 1 or 2 years later, or before a sequel is released.
Ultimately, I resolve to buy more Wii games, instead of looking at them in disappointment

To have a Wii party

I too am in Mike's position. Recently bought/got many games. Only played the Wii once this whole break. I really gotta catch up.

I would say... a mix of David and Mike. I absolutely cannot wait for Smash Bros. Brawl to come out, but at the same time I have been neglecting Twilight Princess (still at water temple), FFIII for DS (i think I have a submarine now?), and FFXII for PS2 (i've seen the opening cinema; looks pretty) for nearly all of 2007. Smash Bros is not going to help free up time for those games but I'm OK with that.
