Nintendo Wii Discussion

I'm sure there will be plenty of Wiis to go around.

I was in Best Buy yesterday and they had a Wii display. It was not playable though. I was in Gamestop about half an hour ago and they had one too. This one I did get to try. I played a race on Excite Truck. It was pretty cool but the novelty of steering the remote (for me anyway) will wear off quickly and I'll want to use a standard controller. I didn't try to steer using the d-pad on the remote, not sure if you could or not.

I didn't pre-order one but I still think the Wii will be the first of the new consoles I do get.

it didn't knock my socks off. but I only played a basic off-road racer with the only unique feature being a motion sensitive controller.

I've played a 360 a few times to and while I enjoyed it (namely Dead RIsing) it didn't really blow me away either.

now... Guitar Hero II?.... oh mama!

I've officially solidified my plans to camp out for a Wii.  I found out about how many systems the Best Buy near me will have in stock, when they open, and who's going with me.  I'm bringing my camera to capture all the fun.  If it's anything like the PS2 launch, it should be a blast.

I know you get them earlier in America so i dont know what the amount of consoles were are getting here in England.

I preorderd my Wii on the 26th September at GAME after getting an email from them so think there will be enough to go round but definatly dont think there will be any left over and know for sure that noone will be campin in the middle of town for one people here are far too lazy!

It's not about lack of laziness, it's about freezing your ass off for a stupid reason with fellow hardcore gamers, which is fun. When I went to Best Buy the night of the 360 release I almost jumped into line just to be a part of it. But then I remembered it was a line for the 360 and so I scissor kicked the guy in the front of the line, carved a big Sony S onto his forhead with my rapier, and swung away into the night on a conveniently placed rope while shouting my allegiance to the great Sony empire in Japanese.

Careful Leon. Comments like that will only let newcomers to our site think that you're a Sony fanboy.

I'll either be picking my system up at midnight at gamestop or waking up and leisurely getting it in the morning, since I have a preorder Here's hoping Nintendo doesn't screw over their customers like  Sony did.

That was the stores fault, not Sony's.

Oh, but of course! It would NEVER be Sony's fault!  Thank you SOOOOO MUCH, Leon, for pointing that out. Whatever would we do without your grand objective insight about the Sony corporation?  ...go back to eating your Sony Fanboy Excrement Sandwich.

Don't run from the truth phoenix, embrace it. I think, deep down, there's a little Sony in you, there has to be, there's a little Sony in all of us. I call mine Sony Chiba, he's a movie star.

Come on, let's all recite the PlayStation Loyalists Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the PlayStation,
and Sony Computer Entertainment America,
and to the games,
for which they make,
three consoles,
under Sony,
undefeatable,
with fun and gaming justice for all.

[phoenix1967]

LMAO! 

And to your point, yes I do own a PS2 and a smattering of games for it. So I guess that there is a little Sony in all of us. But that doesn't mean that we blindly agree with all they stand for (we'll leave that to the fanboys ).

I might try and get one Sunday.
