"1st playable wii kiosks are out (swipe) / wheres teh big wii post?"


  

          

ill check it out when i get the chance, its like an hour away from my crib

South Florida GameStop nabs first Wii demo kiosk

Ah, the time must be drawing nigh, as we've just seen our first report of that heavily-guarded Wii demo kiosk being fully assembled and ready for play. As expected, Wal-Mart didn't get first dibs on this bad boy, but a South Florida GameStop is already giving eager Wii users a go at Excite Truck. The stipulation? You've reportedly got to hand over your keys and / or driver's license to even sniff the untethered (albeit proudly labeled) Wiimote, and your collateral is promptly returned once you prove you aren't walking out with any GameStop property. Initial hands-on reports suggested that driving vehicles with the newfangled controller took about three rounds to master, but it wasn't too long before gold medals were flying off the shelf and extra rides were being unlocked. If all this sounds like fun and games to you, be sure to hit the read link for a few more photos and the 411 on the lucky location.

Still on the fence about Red Steel. The concept sounds so badass, but I'm not really sure about the execution. Previews haven't been all out positive, sadly.

I thought the controls worked perfectly, though all I played was excitetruck. It was pretty damn fun though using the wiimote to steer, and navigating the muenus on the wii with the controller worked really well.

the big sites should get it up today or tomorrow.

1up.com just put theirs up

The answer? Truly fantastic. It's not a reinvention of the genre like Ocarina was -- but it's much better, because it takes all its predecessors' raw ideas, perfects them, and creates an experience that's at once new and familiar. It's rare to find a launch game that truly justifies the purchase of a new console, but this is precisely that. If Wii Sports is a game for everyone, Twilight Princess is for everyone who loves games.

10/10

Fuck 'em. No objectivity.

Noone is asking for a fanboy review, just call it straight.

Matt at IGN gave it a 9.5 and that caused a mini-riot over
on the Wii boards.

The control was great. The Wiimote was a lot smaller than I thought it would be though.

But in retrospect, I really didn't need to. The Times Square Toys R Us had about 8000 consoles, and just as many copies of The Legend of Zelda.

I've only gotten into Wii Sports thus far, and I like it much more than I thought I would. I got a nice little workout going.

stayed in line til 9
man, we kept getting heckled by folks driving by that said shit like "XBOX360 IS BETTER, YOU FAGGOT ASS LOSERS!!!!!!" one guy even was running around shaking people's tents (some guy put up a tent for like 3 hours), dragged a guy in a sleeping bag, slapped a dude in the face, and then BOOKED it bc the guy that he slapped started chasing after him. the slapper's friends were driving slowly across the street waiting for him and almost ran into slapper as slapee chased him down the block.

by 7 in the morning, time began to slow to a crawl and the fanboyism around me began to destroy me. i wanted to slap every single motherfucker around me. they were all worried there wouldnt be enough controllers or some gay shit. people would walk out with no controller and they'd start to whine, "they don't want ACCESSORIES?!"

whatever, i haven't slept all night but i'm gonna go fire that shit up now

56. " I paid a friend $50. to stay up all night"
In response to Reply # 55


  

          

she paid another friend $25 to keep her up... they were there first 1130p to 830am

some little pissant kids were talking smack about me and my police car, until my friends said shut your fcuking mouth she's our friend.

Target only had 33 there were about 60 people in line.

I am loving the Wii

57. "I gotta story to tell."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

This is how it went for me. I traded every stitch of my gaming stuff in to have loot to put on a Wii pre-order at Gamecrazy. I had been calling asking when they were going to start pre-orders and they kept saying not yet. Well I call the day after I traded all my stuff in and they tell me they already opened and closed pre-orders and I was not getting one but would be number 13 after pre-orders were filled meaning I would not see a Wii until prolly next year. I resigned myself to my fate only after cussing out the bitch ass manager for playing me like that. Now last night my wife's aunt calls and ask if I want to camp out with her husband to try and get one. I tell her I can't cause my wife had to work last night and it was me and my junior, she's like wrap him up and bring him along but I had to decline that offer cause my wife would have taken my head clean off for that move. Well they call this morning and I ask how did it go and where are they now, they say coming up, I then understand they are at our apartment so I buzz them up thinking I at least get to play with there Will, well as I hand the Wiimote back to her uncle and thank him for coming through, he hands it back and says Merry Christmas, I couldn't play mine thinking you didn't have one so I copped this one from Sam's Club this morning. I damn near cried. So I have my Wii and a grip of Gamecrazy credit. I asked him what game he wants, anything, it's on me. He went with Rainbow Six for the 360 which comes out Tuesday or Wednesday. I went and copped it, of course Zelda, and 2000 Wii points. They did not have a classic controller so I still need to find one, but man am I happy.

a note for you (and you may hate it) but you can use the gamecube controller for most of the classic games (or all of them, actually).

So the Target around me opens at 8, so I woke up at 6:30 and booked down there....which was rough, considering I went to bed at 4:30 last night. Oops. So I get there around 10 'till 7, there's already a pretty big line. I get in line, and about 10 minutes later the manager comes out and hands everyone a card with all the games and accessories on it, as well as a little slip that says what number you are in line. I got 53, they got in 69, so I was set. The card was so you could mark what stuff you wanted, and they'd just grab it for you and you'd be set. We were all promised a console, so we just hung around 'till 8 when they started letting people in in groups of 20. I get up there, give them my card, and I'm outta there. Overall, extremely well organized and easy, and I only had to wake up 90 minutes early to snag one. The games are dope, Zelda is great so far, and I'm really really liking Wii Sports...funny, didn't know what I'd think of that one. Overall, man, I'm fucking loving this thing.

I got a Wii late last night from EB (preordered). Im beginning to get to some real holy shit moments in Zelda. Wii Sports is really fun. It's a really beautifully conceived console. The potential for a REALLY incredible FPS is readily apparent.

Shit is dope. I really like the wii sports. I thought it was gonna be fluke. But playing it with my lady we had alot of fun last night. Females are really gonna dig the wii's game play. I cop Zelda, Red Steel and 2000 wii points. Red Steel is dope. I really think this is the best game to get on the wii right now as far as what you can do with the wii remote. I'm hook on Red Steel right now.

I like it. Its similar to golden eye as far as a FPS. The wii remote is pretty sensitive though. So it can be difficult at times when aiming. But I think a good hour playing, you will get use to the controls. I haven't played multiplayer yet. Thats where I think most of the bad reviews came from. The split screen will make it very difficult to aim since there isn't much space for player to player to aim. Sword fighting is dope. I definitely recommend this game over "excite truck"

83. "Wii Shop Classic games"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Here is what is in the wii shop game catolog now.

F-Zero (SNES)-800 points

Altered Beast (SEGA Genesis)-800 points

Sonic The Hedgehog (SEGA Genesis)-800 points

Super Mario 64 (N64)- 1,000 points

Donkey Kong (NES)- 500 points

PinBall (NES)-500 points

Mario Bros. (NES)-500 points

Soccer (NES)-500 points

The Legend Of Zelda (NES)-500 points

Wario's Woods (NES)-500 points

Solomon's Key (TECMO, NES)-500 points

SimCity (SNES)-800 points

I thought the wii price points would be much lower, but oh well.

I think each day 1 or 2 new games will be added to the catolog.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

So, Wii is ahead of PS3 so far. I think they'll catch MS by early fall next year.


http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/20/ps3-wii-sell-out-at-launch/

While everyone fully expected a PS3 sellout on day one due to limited supply, expected Wii sell-though was uncertain due to its larger initial supply. As it appears, reports from both American Technology Research and Lazard Capital Markets indicate that both consoles in-fact sold out immediately on day one. Next-gen even suggests Wii may have sold "well over a million" units on Sunday alone.

Analysts expect new Wii shipments as early as this week, but note that PS3 retailers have "no idea" when the latter will get restocked. To that, GameDaily reports on the potential sellout affect for the Xbox 360: "With both the Wii and PS3 being in such high demand, it's possible that many consumers won't be able to secure one this holiday. That said, Microsoft could get a boost from a combination of PS3/Wii shortages and the success of Gears of War.''

Expect retailers to push the 360 hard if no PS3s and Wiis are on hand this holiday.

In response to Reply # 107


  

          

do they have streaming technology? or do you need to load between areas
and do they have proper forests with actual trees, rather than just pathways with trees on the enbankments, plus those retarded treetrunks that take you to the next 'room' of the forest'

compare with Oblivion in terms of open-ended-ness. You gotta kind of gauge with how Zelda games actually play out as in there IS open-ended-ness but you still have to stick to a path ie: weapons opening dungeons and whatnot.

But like I said I haven't PLAYED it yet so if you want you don't have to listen to me. lol

---Legend of Zelda Timeline--
part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZkx62s2SBI
part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXfodKDC0ks

----Controller Chart---
http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/photos/wii_controllerchart_2.jpg


----91 Pin Strike trick in Wii Sports Bowling---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTsjnjsO-E0

----Virtual Console Round Up---
http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3155418

----Hints and shit from Go Nintendo----
In the Photo Channel, you can catch the evil cat that runs across the screen to get tips! It appears in the Fun option, and you can grab the cat with the A and B button.

You can have a 194 piece puzzle by holding down the 1 button before selecting any piece amount.

If you dont have an SD card and still want to check out Photo Channel, you can e-mail a Jpg to your Wii Message Board. There is a size limit for any mail you send to it - possibly 1mb.

In Bowling, you can throw your ball into other peoples lanes.

If you put mp3s in your SD card along with your photos, you can change the background music during a slideshow to one of your mp3s.

When the messageboard records your play time, if you dont exit to the Wii Menu before you power off the machine, it records the play time as other. If you properly exit to the menu and then shut off it will record it as the correct game.

You can rearrange almost anything on the wiilike the channels and messages by just holding the A and B

The plasma burin reduction kicks in the second the wiimote shuts down.

when you get an e-mail, not only does the disc drive light up and pulsate blue, but your Wiimote sends out a little chirp

when youre in the Mii channel and you dont use the Wiimote for a little bit and your Miis start walking around, if you then suddenly use the Wiimote, all the Mii stop and follow the hand for about 3 seconds.

when typing messages, and you need to go back and edit the message(while still typing) instead of deleting letters, just point to where you want to edit to move the type cursor.

In Wii Sports Bowling, when you press up on the Directional Pad, it will zoom in on the lane. The zoom in sound is the exact same sound from Super Mario 64 anytime you moved the camera.

You can place the sensor bar upside down and it doesnt reverse the directions of your movements

In wii sports bowling, you can release on the back swing and throw the ball backwards. It scares all the miis behind you.

It means the screen goes dim or a screen saver comes up when the controller goes inactive after a while. That way plasma tv sets are less likely to get picture burn in, which can occur when the same thing is on the screen for a long time.

In case you still didn't find it. Go to the little email box on the lower right side of the screen. On the left side of the next screen is a box for writing messages, click on that and you should see a button marked as address book. Click it and you should see your Wii number. I may have added one to many clicks there but the main thing you are looking for is your address book.

you play a dozen matches with them, good games, good banter, then one day they say 'let me switch to my secondary account' and they log back in as 'Paki Basher UK' or something. it's sad. and frequent

138. "Virtual Console lneup for the rest of the year"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://wii.nintendo.com/virtualconsole.jsp

looks like the ones coming up are:

Baseball (NES)
Columns (Genesis)
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis)
Dungeon Explorer (TG16)
Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis)
Golden Axe (Genesis)
Gunstar Heroes (Genesis)
Ice Hockey (NES)
Ristar (Genesis)
Space Harrier II (Genesis)
Super Star Soldier (TG16)
Toe Jam & Earl (Genesis)
Urban Champion (NES)
Victory Run (TG16)

if anything, buy Gunstar Heroes. I still got the cart so I probably won't, but it's easily one of the best 2D shooters ever made.

>Baseball (NES) - Ehh, that doesn't soudn fun.
>Columns (Genesis) - That sounds less fun.
>Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis) - This game is so bad.
>Dungeon Explorer (TG16) - I fuckin love this one. I really hope they figure out how to make this 5-player like the original.
>Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis) - This was pretty wack too.
>Golden Axe (Genesis) - This was my shit back in the day, but it's really horrible now.
>Gunstar Heroes (Genesis) - I want to check this out.
>Ice Hockey (NES) - I can't imagine this is good.
>Ristar (Genesis) - Ehh.
>Space Harrier II (Genesis) - They made a II?
>Super Star Soldier (TG16) - Never heard of it, and I had most of the good TG16 games.
>Toe Jam & Earl (Genesis) - Hells yeah.
>Urban Champion (NES) - I heard this was one of the worst games ever.
>Victory Run (TG16) - I could never get past the second level on this game.


I would really like to see more of the overlooked classics. Where's Paper Mario for 64, Ninja Spirit for TG16 or Comix Zone for Genesis? I wanna see shit like that. I have a feeling Virtual Console will take off eventually, but there are so many classics among the systems that there is no reason we're seeing stuff like this.

That said, Mario 64 was a great choice. It's one of the first times I played an emulated game that was better than it was on the original system.

152. "Looks a bit sharper and controls a bit better"
In response to Reply # 146


  

          

Nothing major, but my girlfriend got to it and was like "oh, it looks like they made this better looking somehow" (she played to about 30 stars in). I think it has to do with Nintendo 64 games actually being better than the hardware allowed them to be, and the 1up article on virtual console supports that idea:

"If Mario 64 is any indication, N64 software is going to look way better than on an actual N64. Textures look cleaner, sprite objects are sharper, and all that blurry anti-aliasing has been toned down. The result? Crisp, attractive graphics. And finally playing N64 games on a better controller makes the package even better"

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Zelda is sweet as hell and I was never really a big fan of zelda back in the NES days. This shit is addictive. Wii sports is off the chain. I'm sad to admit that my wife is a a better boxer than me and I straight up broke a sweat playing this shit yall. I had no idea it would be this fun. Nintendo is on that good shit.
I just copped a DS a month or two ago and I can't put the New super mario bros. down. It's a great for bathroom breaks & other moments when I'm just chilling somewhere.

So I now have a 360, PS3(waiting to go on ebay) and now a Wii. I think I overdid it yall.

Friend code forthcoming.

Anyone got any info on the battery life of the wiimote? Or has anyones first batch of batteries run out yet? Cos this is my biggest fear with the wii. I don't wanna have to be replacing/charging batteries regularly. I really think they should've made charging docks and lithium cells with these things.

In response to Reply # 147


  

          

Kind of sucks when compared to the almighty Wavebird. I just replaced my original batteries that I placed in the system on launch day last night. This means I got a week of average play before having to replace them joints. I have been killing it in both Zelda and Wii Sports so maybe a little higher than average playtime.

158. "anyone pick up a classic controller yet?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

They didn't drop on release but I managed to cop one in philly on black friday. Dude only had 1 in stock. I think its a must have for the old school games. The Wii remote is cool for some old school games but the classic controllers just feels better. Its pretty light. You connect it to the end of the Wii remote. Check around cause I don't think too many gamestop/EBgames have them in stock. If so, maybe 1 or 2 in stock.

Got it launch day but I had to call about 16 spots before I came across one. Woke up my kid and everything so I could go cop it. I only played Mario 64 on the N64 stick so the adjustment was a little tough. I dig the way it looks and plays (though I have only downloaded Mario 64 and Bonk). I see you can use it on Dragon Ball so I find the fact that it can be used for new Wii games outright pretty cool.

last Friday because when I called on Tuesday they said they'd have em in stock. I ended up going to Plymouth Meeting tho, since there's a Circuit City, Best Buy and Target all close to the mall, just in case the EB there didn't have it.

I'm mad that game store downtown closed (15th and Chestnut)...that spot used to have EVERYTHING from Japan that was hard to find.

However, Target gave fucking vouchers at 7:30, and the cats in line with me @ CC got to Target @ 7am, and missed out by only 3, I woulda been there at 6, got my voucher at 7:30, bounced to CC, been there at around same time as I arrived anyways (like 7:45), and gotten another. Fuck my circadian rthyms, they cost me 150$ today.

old, balding white guys who otherwise would be writing fantasy league updates and contemplating how to explain the idea of seconday teams to their morning date are now duking it out with their wii-motes. The console war is officially a wrap fellas.

Thats why we play games, and thats why people are loving the Wii cause it is FUN!, cause to me I still have not had as much fun as I did with games on the NES,and SNES, they just were FUN, it wasn't about graphics, but now thats all it seems to be about

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Forget Ebay, the demand for them on Craigslist is INSANE. I had at least 5-6 cats inquire in a day, and there were two legit offers: 500$ and 550$ (I went with 550$ and my cousin sold his to the 500$ lady).

188. "Component Cables!"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Yes, they are finally available readily from Nintendo.com but third party cables are available at Best Buy and Circuit City. Just copped the React ones from BB and the shelves were reasonably stocked. Finally Zelda in as high a resolution as possible.
