So, the question of the hour is do I buy the new Nintendo system?

The New Zelda game, The Twilight Princess, is out. It's gotten amazing reviews. And that's largely what I would be buying the system for.

However, it's also coming out on the GCN. I could save a lot of money by just buying the Gamecube version. Apparently supplies of this version will be low, though. Only 200,000 being released in North America.

I've never been a fan of buying a new system for one particular game. But the new Super Mario will be coming next year, and a new Smash Brothers soon after.

The Wii (what were they thinking with the name?) has a unique controller that is motion sensitive. From the reviews I've read, it's quite easy to use and helps immerse you into the game. But it's completely different from all other systems, and I have to wonder if I'll enjoy swinging around a controller like a maniac. I probably will, but enough to warrent a new system?

I guess it's all down to a preference choice. But I won't know which I prefer till I spend $300 on a new system that, granted, I won't play as much as I would like to. I wouldn't care if I had a lot of money, but that is a little (a lot) tight right now. I don't know that I can actually afford to buy a new system.

I don't know. Motion sensitive controller? I'm a little hesitant.
