Wiiiii.

[Jesse]

My super rich friend's girlfriend offered to buy me a Wii and Zelda!

So I'm gonna spend the next 12 hours in line at Wal-Mart.

Anybody else getting one?

[GT2000]

Lol, sounds like a good deal there! I'm still holding off.. I have permission though since Anya likes Mario games! But I want to wait until after the holidays and see what my bank acct looks like then :(

[squirrels2nuts]

wife, can i have permission to buy something?

[raublekick]

hopefully i can get one tonight. if not, well... you guys might not see me ever again :(

actually either outcome might result in my complete disappearance.

[Jesse]

Got it back to my room. It's awesome. My friends and I are trying out the Wii Sports right now.

This system will see some interesting titles in its run.

[heX]

my friends just picked two up. i opted not to go over there tonight but im lookgin foward to playing it.

[Jesse]

It's lots of fun. The remote and nunchuk are so responsive.

A friend of mine bought one with only the intention of selling it, and he managed to sell it to some guy right as we left Wal-Mart for $450.

[testtubebaby]

wow, nice profit... i really want to play it, though i was kind of saddened by reviews i've read that say they it doesn't actually require a vast amount of movement; simple flicks of the wrist seem to work.

[Jesse]

In Wii Sports baseball, I've noticed that the harder you swing the wiimote, the harder you hit the ball. I don't think the flick of a wrist would do you very well in baseball.

I could test my theory, but I'm about to head to bed. I got a long day of Zelda ahead of me.

[johnny]

i'm not sure that i'll ever buy one, even though the price is right. i don't think i'd play it enough to justify buying.. but it certainly does look like a neato system. maybe i'll talk myself into buying a wii once some more games come out.

yeah dude, you gotta SLUG those sumbitches to get home runs.

Wii Sports is hella fun.

the Wiimote is so easy to use.

right now i feel like a piece of crust that fell off the scab from a sore on the underside of a fat man's arm fat.

[Jesse]

Did you get Zelda!?

What's your farthest homerun yet? Mine's 547.

[raublekick]

no Zelda, just Excitetruck for now which is plenty fun. Hopefully Zelda by next week if I have time to beat Okami.

[Jesse]

I see you don't dare mention the distance of your farthest homerun.

[F a C e]

So how is Zelda?

[Jesse]

Awesome. I'm about 5-6 hours in right now. The graphics are great. The swinging of the wiimote and nunchuk to use swords is very nice. I didn't anticipate how much the motion sensor controllers could change the feel of a video game. Not to mention slingshots, fishing poles, etc, etc.

And the story is great too. I can't usually get into the story of videogames, but Twilight Princess seems to be really decent so far.

[GT2000]

I like what I'm hearing, definitely makes me want the sports games more. Any idea if the console will continue to come bundled with wii sports or if it's limited?

[Jesse]

I think it's a permanent bundle. Wii Sports doesn't seem like it's something they'd release without the Wii itself, simply because it's just 5 simple games. But they are very fun, don't get me wrong. My friend and I are taking turns playing baseball right now. You gotta really swing the Wiimote pretty hard to get a homerun. It's awesome.

I almost wanna get Madden to see how it is with the Wiimote, and that's saying a lot for me, since I generally hate sports games. My friend is planning on picking up Madden 07 today or tomorrow. I'll try his out before I decide to buy it.


Very satisfied with the Wii so far.

[raublekick]

I see you don't dare mention the distance of your farthest homerun.

haha yes. i don't really know, because i just did it once in the one training session and wasn't paying attention.

i am way too tired to play wii tonight. i was gonna go try to pick up Super Monkey Ball at Wal Mart, but I would much rather just go to bed way early.

[GT2000]

You gotta really swing the Wiimote pretty hard to get a homerun. It's awesome.

Good, sounds like exercise for my bad shoulder...

[Jesse]

Raub, do you have your Wii online?

If you do, go to your Wii messageboard, and add my Wii to your address book.

Then give me your number and I'll add it to mine. Then we can swap all kinds of neat stuff!

My Wii number:

6056 7925 5655 1770

[testtubebaby]

you guys are so homo...

[heX]

you guys are so homo...


korea has really made you negative

[raublekick]

Jesse, here is mine:
0220-5880-5754-6733

I got a lot to add later...


And to answer your question, yesterday I had a 563 ft. home run, and then an out of the park homer.

[Jesse]

You or your Mii are without a doubt using steroids.

I'll go add you. So when you add me you should be able to send me messages.

[raublekick]

hey jesse, have you been able to connect to the Wii Shop channel yesterday? I got into it before, but two TG16 games came out yesterday that I want, but I couldn't connect :(

[Jesse]

Yea, I got on it about 8 hours ago before I went to bed. I cruised around and checked it all out.

I guess sometimes Nintendo's servers are unavailable. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Let me see if I can get on now though, and I'll add your Wii number in the process.

Edit: Just tried, and it was unable to connecto to server.

[raublekick]

see, i don't get an error or anything, it just sits there "connecting". ah well, it worked before, it will probably work again.

[GT2000]

Yeah colin, that was a lot of talk about wii-wii's...

What's this about TG16 games raub? I remember my tg16, and that badass Turbo Graffix CD, for which I had one or two games...

[Jesse]

Yea, I wouldn't worry about it.

Maybe you have to re-read the terms of service agreement?

Can you do other things that involve using the WiiConnect 24?

[raublekick]

Yea, I wouldn't worry about it.

Maybe you have to re-read the terms of service agreement?

Can you do other things that involve using the WiiConnect 24?

yeah i mean i already have gone into that channel, recieved Mii's and messages, the whole shebang. just couldn't connect to that channel yesterday.


donnie, Virtual Console games. they added two TG16 games yesterday. if i can connect i plan do buy them and sonic the hedgehog and maybe something else if i have enough points left.

[Jesse]

I was just able to get on the shop channel.

[GT2000]

Well I figured it was the virtual cg's or whatever but, which TG games do they have available so far?

[testtubebaby]

korea has really made you negative

lol... coming from you, hex, that really means something.

i was merely commenting on dudes exchanging numbers with each other, nothing more. i still think the nintendo number exchange gaming system is kind of lame... i don't think it really cuts down on greifing much at all.

[thecreeper]

i want a wii, but i'm really not impressed with the games yet. maybe a weekend of playing it with the boys will change my thoughts. we'll see.

[squirrels2nuts]

you guys are so self-centered.
its just Mii mii mii

[raublekick]

holy crap jesse, i totally forgot to add you, adding now

[Jesse]

Yea, I noticed!

It's been a while since I've been on WiiConnect24. My wireless router won't work behind my school's firewall.

I'll be home for a month on December 15th.

[Jesse]

I'm posting this from my Wii. Free Opera browser trial till March. Seems kinda nice, though a keyboard would be better.

[Subsy]

Kinda ironic how the only thing the Wii Opera browser is good for is porn :D

[Jesse]

And google video streams.

[sharkz]

got zelda for christmas (a shared family present)

haven't played yet. looks good though from watching my brother for a second.
