			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I pre-ordered <a href="http://www.mariokart.com/wii/">Mario Kart Wii</a> a few weeks ago (I was obligated having owned and every Mario Kart ever, other than the SNES which unfortunately was the only mainstream Nintendo console I never owned).  With that said, I&#8217;ve been playing it pretty much all day (while I should be doing other things) and have to admit that I&#8217;m not good compared to the majority of you all.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, though. I&#8217;ll keep practicing and pretty soon I&#8217;ll get about the base 5,000 experience points (or whatever they call that rating)&#8230; :)</p>
<p>My Mario Kart Wii Friend Code is <strong>3866-8418-2060</strong></p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t picked it up yet, <a href="http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000XJNTNS/ref=nosim/marusincom">I cannot recommend Mario Kart Wii enough</a>. After owning it for about 8 hours, it&#8217;s easily in my top 3 Wii games so far.</p>

<p>I somehow (mysteriously) found some brand new Nintendo DS Lites at a local store.  Technically, they&#8217;re not supposed to be selling these yet since June 11 is the official release date.</p>
<p>With that said, I stumbled up to the counter and picked <strike>one</strike> two up.  One&#8217;s for a &#8220;friend&#8221;.  :)</p>
<p>Being the true nerd that I am, I had to document the &#8220;unboxing&#8221; experience and contribute to <a href="http://www.unboxing.com">Josh&#8217;s new unboxing.com site</a>.</p>
<p>You can see <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marusin/sets/72157594151601438/">the full set of pictures taken by me over at Flickr</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just finished watching the <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3150572">Nintendo Press Conference from e3</a> (well, I actually listened to it and flipped over to the window every once and a while when things sounded interesting).  As you know around here, my allegiance to <a href="http://www.nintendo.com">Nintendo</a> has really heightened since I picked up a DS at the beginning of the year.  I have been interested and intrigued by the <a href="http://wii.nintendo.com/">Wii</a>, but was still a bit apprehensive until some actual news was announced&#8230;</p>
<p>There is definitely a vacation day or two coming my way this fall (or I guess I should say, sometime in Q4 2006) when the <a href="http://wii.nintendo.com/">Wii</a> is released.  Between the games that have been announced (Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel, Zelda: Twilight Princess, etc.) and then watching the demo at the end where the Nintendo crew played the tennis game (part of &#8220;Wii Sports&#8221;), I will be pre-ordering, lining up overnight or whatever it takes to get one.</p>
<p><em><strong>Update:</strong>  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKx1UbYQzNg&#038;eurl=">Here&#8217;s the video of all of the Nintendo execs playing tennis</a>.  You can&#8217;t tell me that you&#8217;re not intrigued after watching this&#8230;  :)</em></p>
