Got me a nintendo Wii !!!

Post by northvibe »

This thing is pretty freaking cool. Wii sports is AMAZING and its free with the console. I also bought Zelda and GT pro series. My roommate bought Red steel, zelda and Excite truck. so we should have some fun, i need to get to bed as i camped for 24 hours. sooo within 48 hours i got maybe 4 hours of sleep haha. man its cold as heck at night in duluth The only issue so far with the unit is syncing the remotes never works perfect and takes like 5 min to figure out EACH time. yea other than that its cool

I saw it in action, I think it looks good, but I doubt I'll buy one.

Wow. That's amazing that you had to camp out for so long, if at all! I walked in to my local Wal-Mart that was stocked with 32. Just waltzed on in at 12:24am to see the last one carried away from the register. Wasn't disappointed though, I'm waiting for BLACK I was not about to risk getting my Wii later and not being able to find Zelda, so I picked up one of the last 7 copies there. Funny thing though, I saw about 10 people walk out of the store carrying only one bag - a Wii inside but NO EXTRA GAMES!!! What a sin...

Finally! After months of looking and tips that lead nowhere, I got my Wii tonight! My mother actually called me with a cryptic message. "Target has two, get over here". Funny how I knew what that meant. It's sitting in the other room updating now, but soon I'll be up and running and having a grand old time. It may not be the best for graphics, but I defy anyone to match it for fun!

wii play isnt worth the purchase unless you need the wiimote. the tank game is fun and so is shooting range but yeah...game alone would be a bad buy

I recommened renting the games for wii as...well most dont have replay value beyond a couple hours or a weekend. I think SSBB was fun but got tired of it REAL quick, mario kart on the other hand is amazing. Online is still lame, but at least you can play with friends on a couple games.

I have only used the white one in a handful of times and have all the original packaging. I will be packing it up and giving it to the niece/nephew as an early X-Mas gift.

I was at PAX prime a few months back. Played the new DK, nba jam and goldeneye. At E3 2010 I saw the new zelda as well. Zelda loooked really fun but they must of used composite cables because the AA was just horrid. Goldeneye is 4player local/online and should bring back memories for people who loved the first one on n64.nba jam I hear is good but personally id rather have it on ps3/xbox.I dont play mine much either...its actually in pieces at the moment....
