What game(s) did you get?
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.
2006-11-19, 8:18 AM #4
I have Red Steel and Zelda. I tried Wii Sports already, and despite the look, it is NOT easy. At least for someone who's never played sports alot :p

I have Wii Sports, Zelda, Rayman, and Call of Duty 3. They are all awesome. I've been playing Wii Sports with my parents and my brother/friends. The Wii is amazing. I bought one, my friend bought one and another friend bought me another controller for my birthday. We're having a blast. The controls in CoD3 are amazing. FPS on the Wii is great. I hear that CoD3 controls much better than Red Steel so I'm glad I bought it. Rayman is a GREAT compilation of mini games. Oh man. I'll post updates later.
Think while it's still legal.

For anyone else with the Wii, are the Forecast and News channels working for you yet? They tell me that it needs a system update, but its up to date already.

Zelda is as awesome as I thought it'd be...

ooooh if the awesome reviews continue until after christmas I might save up for one :)
2006-11-19, 9:53 AM #8
No one has any, and no one knows anything about the second shipment.
2006-11-19, 10:25 AM #9
I'm a bit ticked. I wasn't going to get one, because the new Zelda is also on the gamecube, and nintendo had originally announced that they would ship the exact same disc for both systems. Now, the gamecube version has been delayed, which means it's not the same as the wii version, and all the reviews also say that the gamecube version sucks by comparison. So now I need a wii so I can play the new zelda, except, I didn't pre-order one and now no one has any!

**** me.

I have one in hand with Zelda. But I have two hours of homework left. So I've opened it up and have it within view of the computer as motivation. Soon my precious, soon.

[QUOTE=Cool Matty]For anyone else with the Wii, are the Forecast and News channels working for you yet?

And as for the next shipment, my guess would be mid December, after it's launched everywhere else, just in time for Christmas.

I have a Why. It's updating now. Text entry with the wiimote :psyduck:

Edit: Either this is an enormous download or their servers are getting raped

I stopped by Target this morning, they had 60 but I was the 62nd person there. Nobody else has one. Both walmarts in the area only had like 5. Weird. Hopefully another shipment will be in soon.
2006-11-19, 12:07 PM #18
Did finity5 get one? I'll feel bad if I suggested he wait and they sold out.
2006-11-19, 12:33 PM #19
my boyfriends brother got one, and thay were up till 4 am playing it. his brother got Wii Sports and Red Steel, of witch i've only played Wii sports. Wii sports seems to be more of teaching the players how to use the controllers than anything, but it has some fun little features. we need a 2nd remote.

a game system that gets people off there rears? priceless.

Toys R Us...

We got 205.

I got mine, and it's awesome. :)

I just hate the wiimote speaker. :(

But I love that I can pause ANY game at ANY time.
2006-11-19, 12:43 PM #21
TRU was already sold out. :(
2006-11-19, 12:48 PM #22
I'll try and find out when the next shipment is.

Our store was one of 15 TRU's to open at midnight nationwide. We had 205 units total- 30 were presold and we sold 170 that night. 5 were held by management for anyone working who wanted to buy one. We were given the go ahead by the district VP to hand out 200 rainchecks (and we never give rainchecks), so I'm assuming we'll get a bunch more soon.
2006-11-19, 12:51 PM #23
I'm going to call at around 5pm and ask if they know when they'll get more again.

TRU seems to be the best place for wiiness.
2006-11-19, 12:58 PM #24
I went to two Wal-Marts, two Targets, a Gamestop, Best Buy, Toys R Us, and a K-Mart all roughly at the time they opened and... they were all sold out.

Luckily I was punched in at work, and driving a company car so all the trips didn't cost me anything... but it still sucks. .(

2006-11-19, 1:23 PM #25
Yeah, I'm kind of glad I didn't try to pick one up. I went by Hastings last night to look for some DVD's (finally found a copy of Soylent Green), and they said they were getting a whopping three consoles. Which were being handed out through a lottery. I didn't even bother checking Gamestop or Wal-Mart, because I figured the majority would already be pre-ordered, and I didn't feel like wasting my time standing in a freaking line at eight/nine in the morning.

Yup, and also there's this neat "suspend" feature for virtual console games. Basically, you can quit out of them and resume from that point anytime later.

Also, if the wiimote speaker bothers you, you can turn it down/off. Just hit the home key, click on the controller at the bottom, and change the volume up or down.

I heard lots of stores getting their second shipment by Wednesday (For Black Friday). Should be soon people!

I got mine and every accessory I wanted! I love Zelda!

Here is what I got (had to goto Target at 5:00 am, but worth it cause they did sell out)

You do realize you can buy the Wii points via the console, which is insanely easier and faster overall :p

But regardless, it's pretty nice. And the virtual console works like a dream. BETTER than a dream, really.

Trust me when I say this, other than the fact that the Wii version is mirrored (and thus Link is a right handed guy in a world of lefties) and the added Wiimote controls the two versions are identical. And the Gamecube version is delayed by all of a week. I don't think that's enough time to let any features at all be included. If anything it's been delayed by a week to let some more impatient minds buckle under the stress and pick up a Wii for Twilight Princess anyway.
Seishun da!

Guess I'll have to wait for next week for the next shipment ..

I wish there was a way to register console names or something rather than numbers... it's like a freakin 12 digit number for consoles. Oh well.

In order to enable SD card save/write etc. you have to connect to the internet and install it first

Yes, it updates. It does this cause unlike earlier consoles which were strictly hardware, the Wii also has software (a basic operating system). Even if the updates don't come often, it is good that the capability is there, so in case they want to fix a bug, or add new features (like enabling Forecast and News channel on Dec 20th), then it can be done without shipping the thing back to Nintendo, or having some modification or disk.

...So you can't save anything unless you're able to connect it to the internet?

...****.
nope.
2006-11-19, 4:22 PM #39
...apparently. I don't know for sure because I don't have one yet.

edit: wait, no, I'm wrong. But the Wikipedia article is confusing:

Quote:
Two USB ports (at the rear) and one SD card slot (behind a flap cover at the front of the console) are provided. A software update first needs to be downloaded from Nintendo to enable save/write functionality for SD cards.
