New thread to talk about how amazingly awesome the Wii is! I got mine yesterday and my life is better than it was before. Wii...

 

What games did you get?

I ended up getting Red Steel and had Zelda pre-ordered. Surprisingly enough, I haven't touched Wii Sports yet. Zelda is way too good for me to put down. I had to force myself to try out Red Steel which also kicks serious ___.

 

Picking mine up tonight ... I had the money all pre-allocated to get a PS3, but in the end, I wanted a Party console and that's exactly what Nintendo has been focusing on, so my money went with the Wiiiiiiiiiiiii..... heh

 

I didnt get any games with my Wii but the other three people I got them with had all the good games so Ive had a chance to play them. Red Steel is awesome!!! An entire new dimension to the FPS genre. Excite truck is a blast. Ultimate Alliance is ok. Not my style really. I'll have NFS Carbon tomorrow to try out. Im assuming I'll love it...

 

Did anyone happen to buy one of the steering wheels? I was hesitant to get Excite truck, but I think I may just throw that on the X-mas crap for the folks. I really would love to have the steering wheel adapter(gamestop.com has it if you haven't seen it) to play racing games with. I dunno, maybe one of my friends will pick up NFS or ET and I can check it out.

 

SWEET! I was looking for the steering wheel seperate and didnt know it existed. Apparantly they arent shipping until this week. I knew if you bought one of the two Ubisoft racing games available it was included but both games look like crap. This is awesome!!! Thanks...

 

-Correction ... Picked mine up this afternoon and now it's sitting on my desk here at work just mocking me... 1 more hour ...

 

I just played Wii Sports a little while ago. I keep seeing my pops peeking into the room while I'm bowling. Finally I invite him in and he gives it a shot. "I can do one game, I'm busy" turned into 5 games. Now he wants me to move it onto the TV in the family room until I move in a few weeks.

 

wii happy!

Zelda: we'll nuff said!
Rayman: strange but fun so far.
Sports:got my wife into playing. Bowling and tennis baby!

 

He will probably pick up a Wii once you move. Kudos to Nintendo. The Wii may not have the bells and whistles of the 360 and PS3, but it has that lure to bring in new gamers to the industry.

 

My sons got theirs Sunday and I was wondering if anyone here has gone online with theirs yet?

 

Sold my Gamecube. Now waiting for the Wii to come out here

 

Got mine on launch day, only played wii sports so far. Gonna get Zelda after i get home. Anyone gone online and mingled wit other mii's yet?

 

I ended up getting two systems. One is on eBay along with my PS3 and the other is in my living room. Played 8 games of baseball today and my hand is hurting pretty bad................

So, how many people have woke up and had arm and forarm pain so far.......

I LOVE WII......

 

So post up your console codes, guys! When the online games start up, we all gotta meet up!

8635 5580 2993 8240

EDIT: At the end of the first day I had it (Sunday), I bowled a 230, about 100 points away from turning Pro, and my arms STILL hurt. hahah

 

I hadn't gone online with the Mii feature yet, but I checked out the shop. I was pretty pumped that Solomon's Key and Altered Beast were up on the download section on release day.

 

Man, i cant wait for them to put up some more SNES games. I know i'll b dl'ing super mario brothers, and if they put final fantasy VI on there, that'd b nice. Although i do have an original copy on my snes, but i'd like to play it on the wii, lol.

 

Seriously, don't flame this post, but, should I get one?

It has been a toss up if I really want one. I'll get the ps3 eventually but do I really want one?

 

YES! Its is so awesome! I was debating on picking up my pre-order for NFS tonight but i think i'm going to pick it up!!!

 

Well here is the thing, I think all gamers with "Controller Wave Syndrome" should get a Wii. CWS is the act of playing a game where moving the controller(or your entire body) will not help you in any way, but you don't care and do it no matter what. If you have found yourself trying to physically look around corners before your in-game character can possibly do so, you suffer from CWS.

I know for a fact that I enjoy my Wii for this reason alone. The fact that me twitching my hands and moving them around has an effect on the game makes me happy. The games being fun as hell are just an added bonus.
