Official Nintendo Wii thread

[jackrock]

Discuss games, swap console #'s (message board), problems, questions, etc.

Please refrain from "fanboy flaming". Make a thread dedicated to a different console for that.
Please post spoiler warnings in front of things that could release secrets of games to those who would prefer not to know.

Enjoy :)

[Lyman Zerga]

i think i dont even saw how that wii thing looks like

[Justin]

Im still happy with my playstation 2.....hell id be happy with an old atari or nintendo....whats up with all these new systems!

[flava_flav]

oh shit son i got like 10 wiis kid

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

I think we already had an official thread months ago if I'm not mistaken.

[Bob]

this thread's off to a great start :(

i'm not helping, but i just want you to know i feel for you

[TimDoolan]

If I had one I'd make wii wii on it

[Planetary]

my ps2 finaly broke the other day. i might replace it with the new nintendo. until next christmas, when ill trade the nintendo for a ps3.

[Jitters]

Well I know it's not going to help the thread or anything but I was probably one of the first people to get one in North Carolina, I got it right at midnight and I've been playing it a lot and having fun with Twilight Princess and Red Steel. The only complaint I have is I think when you hit the power button on the remote it takes off the sync and you have to redo it.

I didn't know that and had to re-sync it about three times which was hard for me to do :(

[cosmo105]

oh man. it was so much fun. wii sports rules! we played it for an hour or so and got an actual workout! my arms are going to be so buff. :cool:

and rayman KICKS ASS. i was laughing so hard at the rabbids. they're great.

[Big Gus]

Most of the games are kinda getting lukewarm reviews (except Zelda which is being called game of the year).

So how is it then? Is the wii control thingy accurate??

[cosmo105]

oh yeah! it takes a little bit to get used to. one of our wiimotes wasn't responding so well, but for the most part they were spot on.

[Whatitis]

Im still happy with my playstation 2.....hell id be happy with an old atari or nintendo....whats up with all these new systems!


I've been playing NHL '94 on Super Nintendo the last couple of days. (y)

[Echewta]

WHATEVER! (http://segavsatari.ytmnd.com/)

[Rock]

I'm digging that shit. The sports game was kind of weak.....but I only did the bowling and tennis. I got me a 251 in bowling on my second game. Easy ass fuck. Yes, asS fuck.

That Zelda shit though....pretty fucking fun. The beginning with all the cut scenes was ridiculously too long and the beginning reminded me a lot of Shadow of Colussus.
But once I started playing I was all bonerfied. Like I mentioned in another thread, the fishing part really sucked. Turning into a wolf was bad ass. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it.

I got used to the controllers almost immediately...although occasionally they had to tell me to point my remote towards the screen since i got too relaxed.

Good times. Good times.

[jackrock]

Wii sports gets better as you train and shit. My age is 69 :o


Agreed with he fishing, it's kind of messed up, but it's not all that bad. How many hours have you played Zelda, Rock?
We rented Rayman so I'll get into that later, looking forward to it.

[Rock]

I played it for about 3 or 4 hours, switching with my lady.

I don't know how long she played because I went to bed at like midnight and she was still playing. But if I had to guess...she probably put in about 7 or 8 hours.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

So far, out of everything Wii related...I'm having a blast creating Mii's.

Anyone want to swap console codes?

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

I downloaded the original zelda and man does that bring back memories.

Rayman owns. Haven't touched zelda yet.

[cosmo105]

the Rabbids make me laugh hysterically :o

[na§tee]

cosmo, boomin, rock, are you guys online? with your wii, that is. please tell me you are. in less than three weeks i fully intend to send you pictures of my left boob over the nintendo wires. (possibly not a boob, but having our own wee message boards would be fucking ace)

i'm so excited! only 17 more days to go for me!

cosmo, i was thinking about rabbids but then thought i would play it safe and just get zelda and wii play. but you may have just turned me. in a computer way, not a lesbian way. ew! :cool:

[icy manipulator]

it's still the stupidest name for a console ever

[Rock]

Alright...so I've been talking a lot of shit about the Sports game that came with the console. But last night I couldn't stop playing it. So much that I actually pulled a muscle during bowling. NERD UP!

[jackrock]

I played Rayman for a bit last night, I didn't really like too much, it was fun for a while, but maybe I'll give it another go.

[Miho]

I had preordered mine at Toys R US, and picked it up with little wait time, and no hassle. I bought Zelda Twilight Princess along with the console. The next day, I picked up my preorders for Red Steel and Excite Truck at a GameStop store.

So far, I've played around with Wii Sports. Tennis seemed to be the most fluid, easy-to-try game. I didn't much care for the golf and bowling games. Boxing was pretty neat. Afterwards, I popped in Zelda, but only put in about a half hour's worth of game time. From what I've played, it looks like it's going to be an incredible adventure.

As of now, I have a weak set up, regarding my TV and the stand its on, so the Wii is back in its box. I think I'll just set it back up on what I have to work with, and just set the motion sensor device on the ground, and set the Wii on top of my TV. There's an option where you have this choice - that is, if you want the motion sensor device above or below your TV.

I'm looking forward in playing Red Steel and Excite Truck.

...So, that's what I had wrote on another message board, but anyway, I want to expand more on the first experience of playing: When I first tried out the controls, it was great. It wasn't strange or anything. It's refreshing to play games differently for once. There was no learning curve either. It felt natural. I suppose that means Nintendo accomplished their goal of creating something simple, but fun.

[jackrock]

Rock, have you reached the first dungeon yet? And how many hours have you logged so far?

me needs me help

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

A friend of mine with no life, as of a few days ago, had Zelda beat and 35 hours into it. Christ.

Anybody else wanna post their Wii Friend Code? Here's mine...

1585 4210 5510 2767

[The Notorious LOL]

so far I am unimpressed as fuck with its graphics. I mean, I still plan to pick one up but christ...Far Cry looks like a god damn N64 game.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah the graphics don't look mind-bending, but they seem to do the job.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Wii Sports is the only Wii title so far that purposely has underwhelming graphics. The Wii is roughly 2.5 times more powerful than the GameCube.

That means we're going to see some nice looking games. But if you're going into the experience expecting 360 or PS3 graphics, or anything close, you'll be dissappointed.

[mikizee]

i dont intend on ever buying one.

theres my contribution to this thread.

as my sig says, so long, stinktown!

[Pres Zount]

I want to get a wii, but it needs to have more games than just zelda and smash brothers for me. How much is the whole online package worth? Like playing online and shit.

as far as graphics go I tend to have a fairly whatever attitude. I dont need super flashy shit...but seriously...far cry is weaker than the regular xbox graphics. For a next gen system, that doesnt really cut it.


I dunno if they're just using Gamecube development kits since its easier to shit out games quick or what but it seriously looks very underwhelming.

[Gareth]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwQHgeBcXOc&eurl=

probably been posted before tho

[Kid Presentable]

If I had more cash I'd buy one, for sure.

[Gareth]

so?
you arent a true gamer til you buy six of them shits on the day of release.

[cosmo105]

that kid's voice will haunt my nightmares. thanks gareth. :(

The Wii hardware is very similar to the 'Cubes. It's like a GameCube "deluxe". Nintendo has stated that developing on the Wii will be just as easy as it was on the 'Cube. For those reasons we might see alot of developers skimping on the graphics, instead of really showing us what the system can do.

The Weather and News channels will be up in December and January, Nintendo is working on something "special" for online Wii'ers for the holidays, and we get online gaming early next year.

[Pres Zount]

Will online cost money?!!

[na§tee]

to send messages an' that? no. not at all. and the browser (where you can view the INTERNET THRU YOUR TV OMG) is free until summer 2007, too. so you have to get a wii before then.

cool eh? this is why it beats microsoft's ass.

[Pres Zount]

So it will cost money to kick your arse in super smash brothers. :(

[na§tee]

no! it won't! everything is free!

[Pres Zount]

AHHHHHHHHHH

WII BOUGHT

[na§tee]

EXACTLY!
how cool is that?
the ds online play is free too. i regularly get my ass kicked at tetris by scores of japanese people :(
super smash bros though.. you watch out, sonny boy.

[Pres Zount]

Oh. you are so dead.

[Rock]

I dunno if they're just using Gamecube development kits since its easier to shit out games quick or what but it seriously looks very underwhelming.
They had Twilight Princess running on a gamecube at E3. I had a point, but forgot what it was whilst typing.

[Kid Presentable]

It's out on the 7th of December here. I was in a mall and saw 3 of them set up. Nice promo booth distracting plenty of foot traffic. Just watching people use it had me sold. People were gathering around. At first you stop to check out the graphics, methinks, then you realise how fun it looks. Had a blat on wii sports. Was fun. People say they can't line shots up straight away; I can see how you'd expect to be more zealous than is necessary. But it is sweet. Looks really cool, the machine.

Zelda was running on another machine. I noted that when fighting a boss, a variety of control options present themselves. You need to swing like a sword to cut chains, point your bow and arrow, and straight-up run about like normal. Seemed pretty seamless in that regard. Whether or not this is always the case with future games remains to be seen. But yeah, colour me impressed.

[Pres Zount]

It's weird all the wii related threads on here.

I bet the wii lodges a device in your brain that makes you love the nintendo hivemind and start wii threads. And it's not a good mario-esque hivemind, it's a bad one. Like wario or waluigi or something.

[Pres Zount]

Or Ganon, probably.

[Kid Presentable]

I haven't remembered the board being like this since San Andreas came out.

[Pres Zount]

or when skye turned out to be fake.

[Kid Presentable]

or when skye turned out to be fake.
Or when I turned face.

[Pres Zount]

Or when my face fell off.

[Kid Presentable]

Or when my face fell off.
Yeah, fuck how is that going?

[Pres Zount]

It's hard to function in the day to day world. I had to quit my job so I had more time to spend with the maintaining of the huge gaping hole in my head.

But, it's getting better.

[Kid Presentable]

We shifted that conversation yet?

[Pres Zount]

Yeah. I've done some "research" and found nothing. I bet it will be free everywhere in the world but australia. I'd love to beat everyone on the BBMB at some kind of game. It would be ace.

to be the champion of something other than sonic 3 and dim sims.

[Kid Presentable]

My research keeps taking me to myspace, and people I knew in high school.

I hope it's free, but more than that, easy to connect. It seems consoles are harder to get online than pc's here.

Zelda really did look fucking sick by the way.

[Pres Zount]

Well, the xbox360 seemed to connect REALLY easy. I'm talking plug it in and that's it. But you have to pay to play. I don't see a problem with paying a couple of bucks to download a retro game, but playing should be free. I can play online for free on my PC anytime I want. I think it having free online play is the biggest selling point for me.


And zelda does look good. Wich is awesome to the max, because I want more adventure games that susan will stay up all night playing, and then I want her to ring me up at work asking what to do with the megaton hamer.

[na§tee]

SEE: OTHER WII THREAD.

SEE ALSO: INTERVIEW WITH NINTENDO OF AMERICA BIG BOSS REGGIE:

Q: A few years ago, Nintendo made a conscious decision to lie low when Microsoft introduced Xbox Live and began promoting its subscription online gaming service. In retrospect, does that look like a good decision?
A: I wasn't here. What I can tell you is the way we've approached online play now is really with a view to the masses. With Nintendo DS (a dual-screen handheld player), for example, we offer free Internet play in a wide-ranging series of games. Our focus is getting as many consumers to enjoy that online experience as possible. And we've done that.

Q: You're not pursuing a subscription model?
A: We view online gaming as essentially an enhanced way to enjoy the gaming experience and drive more sales of hardware and software.

Q: How do you extend your online strategy to Wii?
A: It's the same premise. We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They'll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you'll be able to plug it in and go. It won't have hidden fees or costs.

[Pres Zount]

:D

[na§tee]

i hope they can bring out a wii isketch type-game so i can lose whilst standing up!

[Pres Zount]

I thought isketch had been abandoned. :(

wiisketch. You could use the wiipencil to draw aeroplanes dropping bombs and stuff. or mario getting bummed by toad owowowowowowo.

EDIT: there's a ninteno room on isketch as I type

[na§tee]

of course it hasn't been abandoned! i'm living the dream!

yeah, it would be cool. i think it's the next-g peripheral. fuck donkey konga bongos.. give us some sort of etch-a-sketch thing and we can get drawing.

EDIT: shiiittt, really?

[Pres Zount]

NEXT PERIPHERAL IDEA:

Smell controller for putting up your nose. They could release a game to go with it where you have to avoid smelly people to get to your destination. It would be called 'skunks and drunks xtreme'.

zelda is so bitchin'. i sometimes wake up swinging my right arm as if with sword in hand, and thrusting my left arm forward, using a shield attack...and i'm so disappointed to find that i'm not pwning the twilight :(

[Jitters]

I'm really looking forward to the new Super Smash Bros especially for online play. It's going to be one of the first games I've played online and it will probably be great and lots of fun to see how you stack up to other people.

Just got to get broadband when they get it to my area around March (y) (y)

[jackrock]

ExciteTruck rules! The controls are tricky at first, but once you get used to them and can actually control the truck, it becomes so much fun.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

The whole "custom soundtrack" aspect of Excite Truck makes me want to get it. And I don't normally dig those sort of games.

[befsquire]

so, my kids and i played a couple of the sports games because you can do multiplayers while using one controller. it seems i start off well with bowling, and then the more i play, the worse i get. we played golf, too. wtf is up with trying to putt on that game?

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

The putting is really sensitive and takes some getting used to. Personally, I had the most fun with bowling.

[Kid Presentable]

I didn't play the tennis. If you're just swinging the controller, are you always in the same spot on the court? Or does the little dude run to the ball?

[na§tee]

I found this video of Nastee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OMCwwTjvuM).
aaaahaha, fuck you man. i'd be about.. 4 and a half times better than her, at least.

damn right i'm excited! 4 more days. aagghhh. we are going to have a "W" weekend. because we have wine. and whisky. and, um, wii. but i am struggling for "W" things to eat. i don't want to eat just, uh, wasabi. and watermelons. so i think our "W" weekend might fail. so we might just have a "turning japanese" weekend and make it an excuse to eat take-out bento boxes everyday (y)

[Kid Presentable]

You should invite a bunch of wankers, and all wear winter warmers. sorry. :(

I'm wondering what the games will be like in a year? Downloading SNES and N64 games sounds pretty sweet.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

I didn't play the tennis. If you're just swinging the controller, are you always in the same spot on the court? Or does the little dude run to the ball?

The character runs on its own, to follow the ball. All you have to worry about it swinging on time. But the controller picks up the angle, direction, and speed of the swing....all that good stuff. So it's deeper than most think.

After a year we should have some pretty high profile titles out. Super Smash Bros: Brawl, a title confirmed for online play, is rumored to come out in the Spring or Summer. Mario Galaxy is looking like a Summer title, and in the Fall we'll see Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Wario Ware, Mario Soccer, Battalion Wars, Mario Party...there are some good franchises on the way.

[icy manipulator]

well i got woken up by housemates who went out to get a Wii so i fucking hate the stupid mother fucking things! way to spoil my night Nintendo! assholes:mad:

[na§tee]

ooooh, yeah. australia are getting their wii on! jealous. only TWO MORE SLEEPS til i get mine! (y)

[icy manipulator]

a bunch of zoltans are over too. i should take videos of them looking like fucking retards

[Pres Zount]

Yeah. I could have had my wii by now if I wanted. Like ages ago. Before anyone else.

Except for New Zealander's. Or American's and Japanese.

[Kid Presentable]

Was it a midnight opening, icy?

[na§tee]

a bunch of zoltans are over too.
you have aliens in your house?

[icy manipulator]

yeah it must've been, i didn't even realise that they were coming out so soon

[Pres Zount]

It'a racial slur against japanese.

[na§tee]

It'a racial slur against japanese.
really? zoltan? how.. bizarre. and not politically correct!

anyway, when i get my zelda i am soooo going to do this (http://pressstarttoplay.net/comic.php).

Actually, I just made that up.

LOL at Duhnuh-nahnuh!!! I want to do that too, now!

EDIT: icy man, I killed myself before I got that far into Dude, Where's My Car?, so I wouldn't have known that Zoltan meant .... French person?

[na§tee]

oh you crazy kid! making me think icy was using racial slurs!
i am still no closer to finding out what a zoltan is, because i can't watch videos at work.

lol @ comic. yeah. i can't wait to hear that blissful "you've found something!" noise coming OUT OF THE WIIREMOTE! the funny thing is that i probably will do that when i bring my wii home across the threshold :o and play it til my eyes bleed.

[icy manipulator]

yeah i didn't realise it was in french. there's a bunch of space geeks in dude where's my car and their leader is called Zoltan. hence a zoltan is like the ultimate nerd. Nerd 2.0

[Santa Claus]

Zoltans? Are those those motherfuckers who ask for motherboards every year?

[Pres Zount]

Can't be any nerdier than going DAHNUHNAAAAAAAHH when you pick something up.

In real life.

[na§tee]

Can't be any nerdier than going DAHNUHNAAAAAAAHH when you pick something up.

hahahahha. oh god. yes. i think this is true. perhaps i am a zoltan, too.
you as well, pres. you're not getting away with it. JOIN ME!

[Pres Zount]

Jesus, you want me to do that, AND make video of it, AND post a link to it here. :(

[na§tee]

i might actually do that. a private one, of course. it can be a dirty little secret.

[icy manipulator]

ah yeah, well looks like the novelty value of the wii will wear off pretty quickly

[Miho]

nah, you're not. their wii to non-wii post ratios are very high. like, 1000000:1. ours are a bit more, uh, balanced.

This isn't quite true. I play all types of video games, for all consoles and handhelds. I've only been displaying interest for Wii here. It's coincidental, perhaps.

I've majorly been neglecting Wii. Every time I consider playing some Twilight Princess, I get sidetracked. To be honest, I find myself playing DS mostly. Give me some time, I'll get back into it.

[mikizee]

i played my mate's wii for the first time today.
it is the best thing ever. EVER.

[na§tee]

mio, let me re-phrase that.

your computer game to non-computer game post ratios are very high indeed.

[na§tee]

the dude from GAME just called me and although my wii is guaranteed cos i had a pre-order they do not have a shed load of accessories and games-other-than-zelda for each pre-ordered machine. only 1 in 3. soooo he was like you better come and queue, laydee, if you want extra controllers and wii play and points cards and what not.

i was going to pick it up tomorrow lunchtime because i didn't want to be tired and i didn't want to be walking around glasgow city centre at midnight with £280 worth of gear.

but now i think i am sorta excited at the prospect of standing in a line with a bunch of fellow nerds playing our DS's. oh god.

i know there's plenty laydeez out there who are into that shit that are not me, rock's wife, cosmo or crystal.

i get really tired with commentators on gaming blogs who post on girl-gamer related stories with "OMG SEXY I WANT TO DO HER WHY CAN'T MY GIRLFRIEND BE LIKE THAT?!" and it's just like, brah, first, there are plenty out there and second, the liking something you do = sexy argument just doesn't cut it.

Okay, so all this talk of shortages is making me worry. I wanted to pick one up in the next week, but I get the feeling I may miss out now.

What if they only send Tasmania one wii and one controler? there is a chance I will have to fight someone for it! Probably that guy I overheard calling it the double-you eye eye.

I may have to go and get it sooner, but then it wont feel christmasy enough to count as a gift! and I will have to shell out a few hundred dollars more on myself! I can't just afford that.

there is no way I will ever get a Wii

[Genocide Tulips]

Fat kids won't be buying this and that is the biggest market for video games.

Bad move, Nintendo.

[jackrock]

I just played about an hour and a half of CoD3 and I'm really liking it. The controls are tough at first, but i'm (still) getting the hang of it. As I expected it's a lot like the PC chapters of CoD but that's fine with me. I like how it incorporates my character's hearing into the game, i.e. after a grenade goes off near me, I have a ringing in my ear. I'm pretty sure it did that in PC version? I want to buy this or Red Steel (Which i haven't gotten my hands on). I just wish it would go online in the future. :(
I forgot to add, and I'm partially stealing this from IGN, you are constantly surrounded by intense battle, so don't expect to lie back on the couch, because I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Pew pew pew pew!


Oh, and Genocide.. HAHA! yeah fat kids can't move. :rolleyes:

[Genocide Tulips]

My younger brother actually got a Wii, one of two or three on Black Friday. It's pretty fun. A pity they didn't include a better pack-in game with it. Wario Wares or whatever would've been good or at least the Mario demo.

However, the bowling game is fun as is Baseball on Wii Sports.

[Kid Presentable]

What if they only send Tasmania one wii and one controler? there is a chance I will have to fight someone for it! Probably that guy I overheard calling it the double-you eye eye.

Fight him on principle, Pres.

[Genocide Tulips]

I'd just stab and run.

[na§tee]

I AM NOW IN POSSESSION OF A WII!

i am in possession but i can't open it until 6pm when my boyfriend SPRINTS off the train, falls in a taxi and does a roly-poly to my front door. hopefully the trains will be working. omg! can you imagine? waiting for ages!

we went at midnight and collected it and all my desired accessories! apart from they didn't have remotes to sell on their own, only with wii plays (which are about £2 more expensive). i did consider just going to virgin/hmv tomorrow to pick them up but scott (my flatmate) was just like "SERIOUSLY. YOU FANNY. you're spending £350 on this whole package but you're too cheap to spend an extra £4 on two controllers? DO IT!" so i did.

god, what a weird bunch of people were at the opening. nerds galore in zelda tshirts. and tired fathers. and japanese people. i was #24. all these people with huge GAME bags were walking down sauchiehall street with drunk neds shouting "SEE YOU THERE, PAL! WHATCHA GOT IN THE BAG HEN? CANNAE HAVE A DEEK?" and i'm like "um. no. scott, get me in a taxi, now!"

oohhh pres, i so have a hilarious picture in my head of you and some other bloke fighting like girls over a package which is stamped with "NINTENDO TASMANIA WII SHIPMENT FOR 2006". hahaha. good luck!

and paul, the movements in the adverts are just exaggerated. in real life you only need a flick of the wrist or what not. don't be so lazy :cool:

[jackrock]

You are one of the lucky few in Europe! I'm happy you got it. Don't wait around all day, whip that shit out and play!. At least open the box and touch the wii-mote a little.

Curious, which 'accesories' and games(s) did you get?

[na§tee]

At least open the box and touch the wii-mote a little.
ahaha. ew. dirty.

we opened the wii box briefly and looked at the sexy protective wrapping but i was afraid i would hug it to my bosom too tight if i completely opened it and crush it with joy.

i did open zelda and read the instructions. i just told my boyfriend this at work and he said:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
I'm Not coming anymore - you're going to pretend to be all good at Zelda when in fact you just cheated!

no. i'm just going to be better, ranald, better.

i got zelda, wii sports, three x remotes, 1 x nunchuck, and a virtual points card.

i don't know if this is going to be the start of me talking less or more about the wii. i'm sorry, guys, i can't help it.

i'm going to post my wii friend code here as soon as we manage to get it online and you should all be MY FRIEND TOO.

[jackrock]

The next thing you must must must buy right now is lots of batteries. We log about 10 hours a day, I figure we get about 30 hours of gameplay on one set of batteries. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be making serious headway in Zelda and then not being able to save (that almost happened earlier today.. phew!).

[Pres Zount]

Interface company, Interlink, is filing a lawsuit against Nintendo for infringing on their motion sensing patents. Their concern is the Wiimote.

Actually man, that's really a big misconception. Sure it feels cooler to get up and swing your arms like a golf club, or punch like your really boxing. But sitting down and playing, making smaller movements works just the same. I think what's misleading people are all the commercials and promo videos showing people jumping about as if they just snorted a line.

[The Notorious LOL]

Fucking hell. None anywhere? In Tazgow?

depends on when your birthday is. Nintendo promised 4,000,000 by the end of 2006. Approx 1 million have sold in the US/Canada, another 500,000 in Japan...and they're restocking every week.


I know they're constantly replenishing shipments here but they sell out in a very short time. I am going to try getting one at Target tomorrow but Im not holding my breath.

[na§tee]

lol, i am praying for you in my non-denominational church of sin. then maybe YOU can be the first person i actually get to communicate with via the awesome power of wii.

my boyfriend was playing sonic this morning while i was still fighting in the twilight realm in my sleep and he said a screen came up which said something along the lines of "look at this picture of a sunny day outside the window. you should go and get a life too, remember! sitting in your own filth for the whole weekend is bad" well, it may have differed slightly, but there definitely was a picture of a sunny day and a request to consider leaving the house. hilarious! (y)

pres and kid, my humanist thoughts are with you too.

[The Notorious LOL]

my plan is to get to target tomorrow at like 6 AM. They're rumored to be in stock then. Theres a target nearby, and near that is a Circuit City.

Ideally I would like to convince a friend to come with and wait at Circuit City while I wait at Target.


So yeah, its either tomorrow...otherwise I will try Wal Mart the following Wednesday closest to Christmas...or next Sunday. Hopefully I will get one soon :cool:

[The Notorious LOL]

i've just got to the first temple in zelda right now and that's after about 4 hours of playing doing random things and getting all the appropriate equipment to get started. this is going to be a big, big game. that midna is a cheeky bitch!

i really want my miis to mingle with board member's miis and they can watch your wii sports games and all that crazy stuff :(

on another note, that is the first time i think i have ever seen you use a smiley with even a hint of a smile! :cool:

[Documad]

It's a good thing I have to go to a birthday party tonight. I played Zelda for 45 minutes and mostly tried to figure out how to work the remote and orient myself. I love rolling for no reason. :)

That remote is the coolest thing. I am a complete spaz so it's going to take ages for me to get good. I love the noises and vibrations though. I was skeptical but it's really fun.

P.S. When you play golf, how to you putt when you're less than a foot away from the hole? There seems to be no way to swing just a little bit. Not that I'll be playing golf again. :p

[The Notorious LOL]

whered you find one Documad

[Documad]

A guy I work with stood in line. He stands in line for all kinds of hot items and sells them on ebay but he made me a really good deal. I couldn't get extra remotes though.

Good luck! I still keep thinking they're going to release a bunch of them before christmas.

[na§tee]

i'm totally stuck on the forest temple :( fucking monkeys!

[Kid Presentable]

K-Mart in Belmont ordered 20. Nobody pre-ordered, but they're all gone. Another shop had a couple. Price difference of $10 between them. Both come with wii-sports. I should stop reading this thread. I don't want to wait until New Year for one.

[Pres Zount]

God damn it, I want to be stuck in the forest temple.

[na§tee]

i'm not stuck anymore. teamwork! ranald and scott were helpful. lots of screaming and jumping around was involved but i got through in the end. phew. THISGAMEISFUCKINGAWESOME.

i took a picture with my new friend in gift, purchase or other. we've personalised all of our wii-motes too with transformers stickers. :o shoot me.

[Pres Zount]

I wish I could. :(

I was talking to my friends about the wii, and they were all like, "yeah, name one good game for it" and I was so shocked I could barely splutter out "Z.. Zelda!"

"Nah, zelda is gay."

"ZELDA IS NOT GAY." :mad:

"prove it."


And I couldn't prove it because I don't have a wii. :(

[cosmo105]

i'm already on the 3rd temple lol :cool:

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

hey that's my wii! Not hers!! :mad:

[weez]

my brother has a wii, and it's not that fun. he only has zelda, and sports, but they don't really appeal to me. maybe if some good games come out, i may change my mind, but i think the PS3 and 360 would be way cooler to have.



although the sports game may be somewhat fun if i were drunk, and challenging friends.

[jackrock]

Red Steel is lots of fun. Right when it got started, I could feel the intensity grow. First time sword fighting was tough to handle, the sword wasn't responding how I would like it too, but as things went on it gathered itself. Out of CoD3, ExciteTruck and Red Steel, I would want to buy Red Steel. Although I must say, all the missions/objectives feel too much the same, walk through door, shoot guys, find so&so, etc. Hopefully later on something else will jump into the game (driving, flying, so on-- but I won't keep my hopes up).

I should also add, I really like the music selection. :)

[na§tee]

woops, sorry, i added you, steger, and i haven't checked if it's working today yet. at work. :cool:

i spent 45 minutes uploading a video to youtube yesterday of wii tennis action and bitch didn't tell me it does something weird to *.avis and doesn't really like them! so out of a 1 minute video only 9 seconds translated into a clip! suckage. well, you might as well see that 9 seconds after all the effort i put into it. shame. it got so funny as well! here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQP5HUyxNr8). that's sarah, ranald, one of sarah's actor friends who is in her new play (polo neck + black = thesp) and scott. and me giggling.

[TAL]

cos, did our wii message experiment work out? it said "sending to cosmo" but it didn't look as if it was connecting to teh interwebs or anything. oh man. there's probably loads of things i can do with your miis. i wonder if they store the amount of hours you've been playing something etc etc? i bet they do!

**TEENY WEENY ZELDA SPOILERS AHEAD**

i just finished the 2nd temple in zelda last night. omgoodness, what fun! i love how you can't z-target with the bow and arrow and it just depends on your own skill. i fucking rock at it. it was a great temple. i died, oooh, about 8 freakin' times trying to do the jousting stuff on the bridge beforehand though, youch!

it was total teamwork on the part of me and scott and kicked ass. then we got some bomb action goin' on and went blowing up all the places we can think of.

we're both seriously having zelda dreams. are we going mad? :confused:

[Pres Zount]

You didn't tell me you needed wireless internet! You're in trouble!

[na§tee]

oh oh oh you don't need wireless internet. but you're a cooler kid if you do.

you can get an ethernet connection so you can have it wired if you don't have wireless. am i still in trouble?

:(

[Pres Zount]

Yes you are still in trouble! I can't get an ethernet thingie until "1st Quater 2007" !!

I spent ages making my mii, susan too. :<

Doesn't matter. Susan just caught a fish in zelda.

[na§tee]

you got a wii??!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY!

[Pres Zount]

I didn't say?

Oh yeah! I got a wii! They got some more para-dropped in from the north. I had to make an excruciating run from the games shop to the bank though, when I had already withdrawn my maximum eftpos-money allotment for the day. He wouldn' hold it for me the cunt.

But I got it yeah!

[na§tee]

p.s. you can buy a nintendo wifi dongle that you can just stick in your computer's usb thingie and it will create a wireless network for your wii. and they are available now, but they're only a little cheaper than paying the whole price for a wireless router so i don't really see the point.

i wonder if you can get just any old ethernet thing to connect it up or do you have to use the nintendo one? i'm pretty sure if you try any ethernet to usb adaptor it will work. try it!

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Nastee, do you still play Animal Crossing? I remember we played ages ago.

nah, i left it so long i got bugs galore and wasn't keeping up with the jonezes so i couldn't be arsed cleaning it up anymore. so it's probably looking like shit round about now.

i think wii animal crossing is where it's at though. that should be super exciting! the wii sims looks quite cool too, and i've never been interested in the sims at all before.

are you online with the wii? we should totally swap friend codez LOL. i want to know if sending messages works! :/

[jackrock]

I've got an idear. Perhaps one of you thought about it already, but it just hit me. You know how you start off at the beginning of a temple after you saved-left and came back? What if you left Ooccoco where you last were, then when you start off just use Jr? Anyone tried it?

slap that wii-hoarder around a bit. a bit of asphyxiation with the wii remote never hurt anyone, either.

i seriously had to put my foot down with my flatmates on monday night. they had been playing ALL DAY when i was at work (plus the wii is in scott's room which serves as our living room so he gets to play it at night, too) and i didn't even get a sniff at it until half nine! HALF NINE! i was all menstrual and shit and just totally went off on one about respect for other people's property and politeness and blaaaaahhh. and then i realised i was getting upset about not playing with a toy and shut up :o

Elebits actually has an online mode of sorts. It uses WiiConnect24 with swapping maps...something to that effect.

Also, how much was it?

EDIT: as a sidenote, does anybody know of any generic devices that might do the same job? I know, serious questions, what's this thread coming too :<

[na§tee]

done some googling and the dongle costs about 50 AUS $.

my boyfriend's brother has one and it works good.

i don't know how much wireless routers are in oz but here i thought it was much more cost effective to just shell out an extra 20 bucks to get a router and then the whole place becomes wireless and you can go online on the toilet if you really, really feel the need.

or you can just wait for the ethernet cable. eek, i don't know! but i want to send you pictures of my food!

[Pres Zount]

I want my god damn mii to mingle, for chrissake. Mingle I said!

I have been googling for the past half hour and I haven't found shit, so I don't know how you found that price.. anyway, wireless routers cost in the $100-150 dollar mark here. So maybe I will refrain from posting here whilst on the toilet to save a couple of dollaridoos.

So, with the wi-fi USB conector, did you ever get to use it, deep sea rain?

I did get to use it a bit, and when it worked, it worked perfect. My computer's firewalls didn't like it, and I'm still learning that stuff, so I never was able to figure it out. I just returned it. But everyone I have talked to who has used it said it's awesome.

It was about $40 US. I just returned mine and bought a Belkin Router. Most routers will work with the Nintendo adapter, just tinker with your firewall settings first, and make sure they'll allow it.

[na§tee]

the nintendo wifi uses WEP, not WPA security. so that's all you have to do.

just to let everyone (well, cosmo/steger and deep sea rain) that my internet connection at home has been amputated because of unpaid bills :/ but hopefully i shall get it back this weekend if my flatmate gets off his arse and pays for it.

p.s. KIITTTEEENNNNSSS!!

[synch]

I so don't want to run WEP...

I'm going to bum a router off of my mate and make a WPA network for my laptop(s) and a WEP network for my consoles. That way I can finally use my psp and ds online as well.

Or I might get a wired connection for my (soon to be purchased) Wii.

[na§tee]

awesome. another person to send drunk wii pictures to! (y)

[synch]

I was so tempted to pick one up in the US but it was too much hassle with step down converters and region codes considering it's out here already.

I wiilly want one :(

[Pres Zount]

Okay, so what games are people getting or thinking about getting?

I want to know so I can get said games, and then proceed to beat you online at them.

So far I'll be getting Smash Brothers Brawl, Battalion Wars and Metal Slug Anthology.

you?

EDIT: And the new wii sonic game looks ace, so I 'll nab that when it comes out, too. And mario kart.

[Waus]

My friend who bought a Wii isn't getting Brawl. He's afraid that online it'll just be the hardcore fans and he'll get smoked unmerciful.


Which is true.

(Falco 'till death.)

[na§tee]

oh, ummm, ooooh. i fear i have been blinded by the zelda. i only have zelda, wii play and wii sports. i don't have much knowledge of future games..

apart from super smash bros. and mario galaxy. and super paper mario. and maybe the sims and animal crossing, too :o

there is meant to be a 'lucasarts project' as well which i am so stoked for.

there's probably a mario kart in the pipeline and you know that will be online so i can blue-shell the fuck out of you.

[Pres Zount]

I've only heard good things about this "animal crossing".

And mario kart, cheah, I'll be beating you at mario kart.

[na§tee]

we're gonna have to do some diary-keeping, i think. i'm fully prepared to wake up super early at the weekend and play online so i can defeat you during your evening-hours. time zones are not going to stop a mario kart ass-whooping.

[Pres Zount]

Only if I get to be yoshi.

[na§tee]

that's fine, i'm a luigi girl myself.

ranald always goes yoshi. fucking dinosaur little shit. :mad:

[Pres Zount]

Ranald sounds like he knows what he's doing. That man will go a long way.

we;ve had a wii for a week, i;ve played it 3 times and the novelty effect has worn off. i seriously dont see the point in wasting your money to get one

[Big Gus]

Yeah? I've played on my friends a few hours now and I want one sooo badly. Fucking christmas and extra expenditure!!!

Next month Wii Play comes out. It has another Wii Sports-esque selection of mini-games, one of which (if I'm not mistaken) is a new version of Duck Hunt, and comes with a pack in Wii Remote. Schwing. That'll probably be the next game I pick up.

Metroid Prime 3 and Animal Crossing in the fall! Prime is supposed to have some rumored WiiConnect24 shiznit. And there are a couple interesting rumors about AC...being that you might be able to use your Mii's as your in-game character. And that you may be able to send real email from the game world...

But 'till the fall we have all kinds of stuff. The new Mario being the biggest one....at least for me.

[jackrock]

Anyone else feel that their speakers are crapping up?

Wii play is already out here. Nothing too spectacular from what I read. It's damn near impossible to get a Wii over here now :(

When you say Metroid comes out in "fall"... are you talking about november 2007? :(

On the remote? I hope you held onto your receipt.

[jackrock]

No, it came with the Wii, we don't have enough for extras.

On the subject of remotes. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6182013.stm)

Poo.

[synch]

The Wii receipt will do just fine then.

The announcement follows reports about the wrist straps breaking during use, leading to the controller slipping out of hands, smashing TVs and windows.Now correct me if I'm wrong but if you actually hold on to the fucker the strap shouldn't even be strained. Right?

[Pres Zount]

The receipt for the wii covers everything that came with it. Call up wherever you bought it from and tell them that you would like a replacement.

PS: Oh no not my strap!

How many times have people been swinging their shit around only to lose grip but have their strap save them? *phew*
