runesmithie Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Not sure about the Wal-Mart scenario but my roomate was outside BestBuy for the 360 lauch. He said the store opened at 8am and he got there at like 10pm. He was 8th in line and by 6am there were about 40 people in line (the store only had 12 systems). Anyway, he said it was fun. Everyone brought chairs and lots of blankets and hot choclate and they all sat around talking about games and playing DS. That would be pretty fun, but I don't want to have to sit out there for 10 hours. On a similar note, if I were to preorder, what's a good store to preorder from? (I think I have the choice of EBGames/Gamestop, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Circuit City in my area...) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Poopingman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Sure, its fairly cheap, but since the graphics supposedly won't be noticibly better than current-gen consoles, it can't stack up to its contendors.

It's not restricted at all, they let it "leek" everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a marketing ploy. If it is, it's pretty genius. Not like there's any special information there, that's just the standard stuff press gets so they can do articles. Still pretty awesome, though. The hardware shots especially are cool to see.

FrankyBrown Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Could we turn this into an official discussion thread? :P Anyway what games are you guys getting at launch? I'm deffinately getting Twilight Princess but the other game I cant decide..Red Steel looks awesome but that Rayman game looks like a hell of alot of fun :oops: People are complaining about the graphic but I really dont know why :? They're better than the xbox but not as good as the 360/PS3 but why do we need 360/PS3 graphics anyway? Twilight Princess looks awesome, who really needs to see the sweat on *insert sports player here*'s face? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

____ Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 By my last post, i meant that North America is the only country that'll get the GC version of Twilight Princess. Just to clear up any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'm suprisingly looking foward to the new mario on the system too. I'm realy wondering what they will do with it with the new controller (and I hope they redeem what they did with sunshine 8-) ). Of course, twilight princess looks amazing.

indy500fan Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I am going to be buying Twilight Princess and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I don't know when Twilight Princess is available, but Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is available the 17th, so I will have it before I get my Wii.

falco513 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 For anyone that wants to know, latest launch list is available at the site of the Revolution Magazine (..."revolution-mag.." <<*hint*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 This is odd... To summarize, the Wii version of Twilight Princess will be like looking in a mirror at the GC version :shock: . So if you play the game cube one and you pass a house on your left, at the same exact spot in the Wii version the house will be on your right. This is actually pretty cool, and I almost want to buy both versions to play through it mirrored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
