Super Mario Galaxy!

Super Mario GalaxyGuess what came in the mail earlier, yup that’s right Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. It came out earlier this week and has received really high marks from gaming sites – I think it was rated a 9.5 at Game Spot. Alan got it for me and sent it to me because he’s so sweet :) With all the games I’ve been picking up for the Wii as of lately and all the games he has for his Xbox 360, we definitely need to get a HDTV with HDMI capabilities! My grand parents have one of those TV and I have yet to bring my Wii over and try out the games on there, I’m very tempted to do so because I know the graphics would look amazing on it compared to my silly TV. One of these days…one of these days we shall have a nice TV like that :)

I just want the game…

Damn it!

Over the years as I’ve gotten older, it’s been hard trying to figure out what I want for birthdays and Christmas because it isn’t as easy as going to the toy store anymore and picking out random toys. No, I want big, nice, expensive things like electronics…and last year, since I couldn’t think of anything that I absolutely wanted I told my mom to get me a Nintendo Wii if she could get her hands on one (big Zelda fan!). Of course, she couldn’t find one during the holiday season which was expected but my aunt was running around Target one day and got lucky and found one, so I got my Wii in February.

Super Paper MarioAnyways…I’ve had the damn thing since February and only have ONE game for it, shows how much I actually play/use it right? However, I’ve wanted Super Paper Mario since I played it in May at the ex’s house and have been on a search to find it at it’s lowest price, of course I’ve had no luck. New Wii games run about $49.99 which is expected as most console games run about that much but I just can’t justify paying $50 for a game right now no matter how much I want it; maybe at a later date. So, I get the smart idea of searching around stores like Gamestop, Babbage’s, and EB Games which sell USED games, I figured maybe I could find a used copy of Super Paper Mario and save some bucks; well I found it at Gamestop last night and let me tell you…I was like WTF? The USED copy was $44.99, I turned to my mom and said “I may as well just buy the damn thing NEW!” Grr, why do they do that? :hmm:
