The Wii releases today.

Not for a few hours, but yes, it does release today.

I am so excited that I truly wish I had pre-ordered one, however, the temptation to play it while I should be studying/writing finals would be far too great. It is quite likely that I will purchase one during my co-op term, since I will have no living expenses to speak of.

On another note, Yoshi’s Island DS is out. That glorious follow-up to that glorious platform title for the SNES tempts me with its egg-shaped curves, but I will resist. It is a devilishly appealing game, but it will have to wait for another time, for my one true mistress (besides my girlfriend) is Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, which I hope to purchase or acquire around Christmas time.

Just FYI. Anyone who has the money, time, and systems necessary for the aforementioned two games should go out and purchase/pre-order them immediately. Especially Brian. Get Castlevania, you stubborn douchebag. I can guarantee that you will not regret it. I swear upon my own grave, which I will allow you to bury me in - alive - if you dislike the game.

It’s win-win for you, and you don’t have to go to the trouble of arranging a death-by-car bomb for me, which would be extremely difficult due to the fact that I don’t have access to a car.
