Wiiiii.
 
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 11-18-2006 11:44 AM

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 11-18-2006 01:21 PM

wife, can i have permission to buy something?

raublekick 11-18-2006 02:53 PM

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 11-19-2006 12:32 AM

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 11-19-2006 12:37 AM

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

Jesse 11-19-2006 12:55 AM

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 11-19-2006 01:48 AM

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 11-19-2006 03:17 AM

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 11-19-2006 09:52 AM

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 11-19-2006 01:45 PM

Did you get Zelda!?

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

raublekick 11-19-2006 02:41 PM

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

Jesse 11-19-2006 03:48 PM

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

F a C e 11-19-2006 04:42 PM

So how is Zelda?

Jesse 11-19-2006 05:23 PM

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 11-19-2006 06:11 PM

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 11-19-2006 06:36 PM

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.

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.

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

Jesse 11-22-2006 03:39 AM

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 11-22-2006 06:08 AM

raublekick 11-22-2006 09:59 AM

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 11-22-2006 11:43 AM

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 11-22-2006 11:53 AM

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 11-22-2006 11:58 AM

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 11-22-2006 12:07 PM

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 11-22-2006 12:10 PM

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 11-22-2006 12:10 PM

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 11-22-2006 12:55 PM

I was just able to get on the shop channel.

GT2000 11-22-2006 02:39 PM

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

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 11-22-2006 11:11 PM

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 11-23-2006 07:52 PM

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

raublekick 12-04-2006 08:53 PM

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

Jesse 12-04-2006 09:34 PM

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 12-24-2006 02:56 AM

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

Subsy 12-25-2006 10:12 PM

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