Wii Crew, Where you at? Options

[Akimbo]

In for Twilight Princess, CoD3 at launch plus an extra controller. Who's with me? Show your Nintendo love

[CelicaBuddy]

I love nintendo!!!

I want the Wii but I dont play enough to cough up the money... I only want it too for the new Zelda game... I'm obsessed with those games...

[lagos]

not planing on buying it or anything, but id like to try out that crazy game controller.

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Not planning on buying it now, going to wait till next year or something.

[sinner96ST]

Just tried the Wii tonight at my local mall, apparently the top 25 malls in the states gets to try them out..

My impressions - awesome. Zelda was sweet, although, somewhat difficult to control when you're first starting out. Excite truck was pretty cool too.

Wii Sports was pretty nice, the tennis was the most fun out of all of them. The controllers themselves feel somewhat flimsy, but you quickly get over that as you're trying to learn how to play.

They didn't have Red Steel to play, but I also got invited to some kind of Wii launch party in downtown Chicago, should be pretty cool.

[orvillescelica]

im going to see if i can get one sunday morning, if not oh well... i can wait.

But im in for the Wii sports and well as the new Zelda: Twilight princess. Most game review sites have given it the highest ratings possible, ranking it better than the wind waker and Orcina of time

[celicaST]

theres not even a confirmation on halo 3.

By the way, this system will tank hard and ruin Nintendo. PS3 will dominate all and the xbox 360 will fade from the scene while dropping price dramatically.

what happened akimbo?

ya im going to get a wii and twilight princess. will try to get one at launch but im not going to camp or anything, if i have to wait a few weeks i dont mind. i think the wii is really going to be a hit, with the second wave of games really starting to show off the controller and its capabilities. the launch games were rushed, started development on gamecube hardware, and it was the first time developers used the controller. for $250 its a great deal. the 360 is $399 and with the $100 wifi adapter (wii is wifi out of the box) youre already at twice the cost of the wii. still love my 360 though, cant wait till the spring halo 3 multiplayer demo is released XD

hmmm on second thought, should i get a wii, game or two, and an extra controller or gt-4 front bumper?

That's the cruelest punishment alive. Making your kids watch mtv. I will feel sad for them.

[hurley97]

yeah I don't know what it is either. but from the way it sounds it has something to do with the former Nintendo Revolution I guess

yep same thing, just called the nintendo wii now.

[lagos]

i wonder if the wii will be as hard to get as the ps3 this holiday. its not as popular, and i hear they have more units shipping, but on the other hand its the cheapest out of all the consoles.

[Jen]

geeks. :x

[D_Dawg]

me and spolski were playing it today at the game store, it seems pretty cool but ill still be getting a 360.

[jayi12-15psi]

will there be any hype for this similar to that of the ps3?

Fixed. Thank you for shopping at Wiimart.

There will be about 3-4 million Wii's in the US for sale, as I understand it.

There are about 150,000-250,000 total PS3's in the US. They originally projected close to half a million, but fell short because the system isn't easy to build, so Sony has to manufacture all of them in-house. So, some people who even pre-ordered the system aren't going to get one until later in the year or early next year. This is why they're selling for 2 grand on ebay.

Wii on the other hand has a different interface, better games, and some pretty solid launch titles. Zelda kicks some serious ass.

[spunky393]

not to jack the thread, however, i was watching the gaming revolution, beginning to present. The biggest thing i got out of the whole show was the fact that microsoft lost 4 million the first year and more every year on company profit sense the first xbox came out. Ouch...Sony has done nothing but profit from the point nintendo screwed them over and went to panasonic (spelling). Hopefully we'll see a new upcoming with the Wii.

Happy gaming

getting mine sunday along with Zelda. w00t! can't wait till Dunk Hunt comes back. the controller's gonna be the hilt for the new Zapper gun.

[Akimbo]

My opinion changed. After playing PS3 and realizing how badly it sucks. Xbox 360 holds a special place in my heart, but I've completely been converted onto the Wii.

wii60 ftmfw!

nothing against sony, but they just seem to be doing everything wrong with the ps3. the ps3 uses 380 watts whereas the 360 only uses 160 watts. with the power supply inside, i dont see how this thing wont have overheating issues. huge price, tacky motioin controls (have you tried playing motorstorm with the sixaxis?), expensive games (gran turismo pay as you go), load times, expensive and a pita to develop for, the list goes on. the 360 has more proven power (GoW looks amazing), and with ps3, it could take years for developers to realize cells potential. and by that time, xbox 720 will be out. honestly i just dont see who would drop that kind of money on the ps3 unless you want a cheap bluray player.

msnbc hands on with ps3

[sinner96ST]

If you guys live near a huge mall, check to see if the Wii is setup in it. Apparently the top 25 malls in the nation are getting these kiosks that I visited yesterday.

They've got excite truck, zelda, wii sports on display, fully playable demo units. Call a gamestop/eb games in the mall and ask if they've got them set up, then go in & play one.

[Rayme]

I want a Wii, but I might get a 360 in the future too..

I have a PS2 and had a PS1, but I say **** Sony with their overly expensive console and crappy games (for now).

totally agree with the price issue, however Sony is actually selling the PS3 at a loss!


If I were to pick a next-gen console it would be a 360, however the Wii does look pretty impressive, I love the innovative controllers, hopefully they pan out.

[hitcachi]

PS3 costs about 800 to manufacture. And so far the results are, they freeze after a couple hours of game play. Nice work sony!

Dude, Twlight Princess FTMFW!! Seriously.

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

lol watch ps3 is gona get hacked like they did the PSP.

[Glitch001]

Im not getting a wii, if i get anything next it will be the ps3. Give it a year and it will blow everything out of the water, the wii will be like the ds, cool to play but not for to long (sure not sober to)

[sinner96ST]

got mine today with zelda. pretty sweet.

they're selling on ebay for about $600, so i'd make about $250 if i sold, but meh.. i want mine.

We get the idea...

[block]

damn i waited 8 hrs to get mines...boogers boogers boogers dripping down my nose...ahhh the beauty of waiting outside in 20 degree weather...hahaha..anyways it's a very nice system..

[amysmojo]

my bro in law bought 2 on sunday morning for 250 each and sold the second by noon for 350 on craigslist. sounds like he should have sold it for more on ebay! i havent tried it yet but my sister said it kicks ass 

[amysmojo]

ive been playing Zelda all night...love it!

[Glitch001]

Girl gamers get crazy, almost as crazy as girl car enthusiasts, a combo of both. mighty dangerous Will robinson.

[fastgt]

got my wii release day....been playing wii sports like crazy and zelda is just beautiful....

easily best zelda ever!!!... i cant wait to see where this system goes

as for my 360 i love it but i just finished gears of war so its sitting right now

after zelda i gotta finish ffxii and drakengard 2....ahh to many games not enough time....blah

[LeonStryfe]

Wii OWNS and dudes Wii sport- bowling ad boxing kicks ass.. giving me an intense work out same time too

PS3 - although i have a PS2 and I dont have any grudg against the PS --> I just find that its too hyped up. Onyl reason to get one is for the profit. Buy for 600 sell for 3k
