Being snowed in for two days really can make a person restless. But having the Nintendo Wii is a fabulous tool to curb the downtime.

I’ve registered a few friends Wii’s to my [roommate’s] Wii and can see all their Mii’s. Remember Mii’s are the avatar you can create for the Wii that represents you. When you register another person’s Wii to your Wii all their created Mii’s come over to your Wii and walk around. It’s really quite cool.

What I really want to be able to do is play live tennis from my house to my friends apartment with our Mii’s. I want to compete from my living room with other people live from their living room. It could have just been the cabin fever and wanting to play with someone other than my cat and my roommates, but I think it should almost be possible. Since the Wii’s are connected via internet how long will it take until we can play live?

Or am I just not pushing the right buttons?
