Wii FTW!

Post by Whelan »

In continuation of the XBox thread.Yes the games are limited but are starting to come out, def. coming out faster than those for PS3 at least. Not to mention it is outselling PS3 6 to 1 and you still can't get them readily off the shelves like the other systems. I had to wait in line at 9am on a Sunday in front of Circuit City to get one of about 12 they had that morning.Right now I only have Wii Sports and I love just playing that. It's def. not a hardcore gaming system, but it's fun for everyone to play, especially when you have a party and people are all tipsy. Did that this past Saturday at a friends house, ended up winning some 9 hole golf.As far as online play is concerned, I could give two ***** about that. Not my cup of tea as I don't really feel like playing people online and what not. Never got into it and don't plan on it anytime soon.

Ok wii time.I have had over 15 games...most I liked for a fun quick time, but sold a bunch because they give no lasting appeal. the titles I do own areRed SteelFar CryGT Pro SeriesExcite TruckZeldacrap I forgot if I own more...any who paper mario is sweet, metroid I need to try its sitting there waiting for me though. Mario part 8 was meh, would only play it with 4 people. I think Id like brawl over party...The wii is outselling the ps3 yes..but not in every country. The ps3 is outselling everying in AUS and some other places. Lets not knock other systems though I think this should be a pro wii thread So OHHHHH mario strikers socccer! that game is fun oh thats a blast to play. So if anyone has that lets play! we should also post wii id's so we can play new games online and msg each other. Strikers is online and brawl will be when its out..theres others but they arent really close to being out.I had plans to hack my wii with a network activity led..but I need to look at the logic board more...which requires time...and time is hard to find these days Brunswick bowling just came out too! Havent tried it yet to see if its better than wii bowling though...

yup the wii has built in wireless, just connect it to your home wireless network. Then you can start adding friends to your friends list.... Mario strikers the only way to play online is to play with people from your friends list. Ill post up my friend code soon...

I've started playing Resident Evil 4 on my Wii, and it is very cool! I don't have much free time since I work full time and go to school part time, but I'll be playing this on the weekends.

If Resident Evil 5 wasn't coming out for the 360 I probably would buy a Wii. between that Metroid and Zelda, that would probably be the only reason I would buy a wii, I'd still be disappointed in the graphics, but I would have fun with those games.

I've played Resident evil on the PS2 and although I enjoyed it, I enjoy making some of the moves myself on the Wii.Luckily for me, if I want to see great graphics, I can just go visit my brother and play his PS3.

I didn't care at all for WarioWare, but I'm wanting to try mario strikers and paper mario. For the time being, I'm enjoying RE 4.I bought a cool base for the Wii yesterday. it has a fan on the bottom to keep it cool while it's on and has blue neon lighting around the bottom. The fan runs by a USB connector that connects to the back of the Wii. Holds the Wii, 2 controllers and 2 nunchucks.

Don't fight the temptation. Let it take over your mind and soul. Better to be a slave to Nintendo than Microsoft.
