Wat the heck is this thing? Crazy technology if you ask me..
god am I old sounding or what.. Maybe I should change my name to Old_Freak or Freaking_Old
You can buy a lot of beer for £179!
Dont check the prices of a (complete) Xbox 360 and dont even think of looking at the price tag of a PS3! This thing's cheap versus the other two :thumb:
Im buying one for sure!! @ Launch: Wii Sports, ZELDA!!! :yahoo::woot2:
Later Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl :thumbsup:

you would also Wii a lot with £179 of beer.
I've preorded Zelda and Red Steel.
SM Galaxies is a must when its released, along with Metroid Prime.
Don't forget Call of Duty 3! I can't wait to see how FPSes play out with the Wii controller!
And far cry, apparently they are looking at online play at the moment. It looks like a lot of companies will launch games without Online to get them out and then use the Connect247 service to download multiplayer addons
Plus, with the way the Wii controller is shown in demos to be used for the swordfighting in Red Steel, they just gotta make a Star Wars lightsaber fighting game!
Well, I got my copy of red steel this morinng, I know its completely useless without the console but hey.. new game smell ftw!!!
:sad: I've seen several reviews of it online that say it's a good idea, but buggy as all hell. Shoulda been released 6 months down the line instead of as a launch title.
Zelda came this morning, so red Steel wont get a look in for a few weeks ;)
oh and the Wii is in the back of some Van :D
:yahoo:
My Wii just turned up :)
whooooooo hooooooo
:clap:
So come on Jamoe, what's worth getting?
I've got the Sports obviously and aside from the obvious success of the Tennis, I'm loving the bowling practice where you curl the ball around the obstacles.
I've just ordered Madden and am thinking of Rayman....what's Red Steel like? Zelda?
Help!!!! I need to fill in my Christmas list.
Red Steel is ok, but not great, I think the reviews are spot on. No online multiplayer and you can't run around with the sword, you only get to use it in select battles. I'm going to be trading this one in (once I have completed it).
Zelda is a must buy, its fantastic. It's got at least 70 hours of play. I have done the first dungeon which has taken me about 7 hours.
Also Wii Play has been fun for more mini games. Plus you get a controller. There's also CoD 3 which might be fun.
Games on my want list are Mario Galaxies and Metroid Prime 3, but these won't be about until next year. I will also buy the mario party when/if it comes out. I am also on the look out for good multiplayer games such as a Mario Tennis/Football title.
I must admit i'm really wanting to give CoD3 a try, just to see how someone like me who's always been dead set against console FPSes due to the lack of mouse find the Wii control mechanism. I think it could be even better than the PC system once you've got used to it, but I could never get the hang of the dual joystick system used on the other consoles for FPSes.
Redsteel feels pretty good (its an fps), it's only wierd because the cursor doesn't stay in the centre of the screen. When you move the cursor to the outer edges the character will start to turn.
I would much prefer it that the cursor stays in the middle and the entire screen moves. Maybe CoD3 will have a fixed cursor.
edit:
oh you can actually set the size of the cursors box and reduce it, but I don't think theres an option to make it stay central, I will check next time i play.
How much is the Wii it sounds & looks Amazing
like Benny said gotta fill the Christmas list. :norty:
the Wii costs around £180 and that comes with 1 wiimote and the nunchuck controller, plus wii sports (few mini games).
I doupt you will find one befor Christmas though, unless you want to buy one off ebay for £300-£500.
