pizzalord1 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The Wii will be released in North america on the 19th of November, with the Japanese launch following on the 2nd of December and finally on the 8th when it hits europe like a bottle of mad train wine. With just around 48 hours to go before the madness hits the west and east coasts of America, what are YOU looking forward to playing on the new console?

cadburys_egg Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Madness? That's a good one. I don't know one person who wants a Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopingman Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Nothing, new consoles are too expensive. I'd still rather sit down with Chrono Trigger or an old PSX game, its just as compelling, haha. Well, I guess I'm not part of this "new gamer" generation that doesn't have anything else to compare it to, enjoy your Wiis and 360s, you have my respect. =P~ Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

blue107 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 there was a recent poll at the local high school of who is buying a wii and 6 were buying a wii and 79 said it looked cool but arent going to waste money on it about 1600 kids go to the school. its been so hard to not rub it in peoples faces on here who said Wii would dominate and the PS3 would bomb 485th person to ever play RuneScapeBlue107- perm banned 10/12/2007. $300 USD reward if you can get me in contact with someone who will take 5 seconds to look at evidence and get my original character unbanned.

insane Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Madness? That's a good one. I don't know one person who wants a Wii. Every person I know, and I'm not exaggerating. EVERY person I know would buy a Wii over a 360 or PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have to say the same. I have 3 friends wanting a Wii, 0 friends with or wanting a 360, 0 friends wanting a PS3. I am looking forward to any game that uses the Wii wand in an innovative way... Red Steel looks good because it will be one of the first console FPS games which one will be able to control effectively thanks to the Wii wand. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah_you_are Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Madden 2007. The Nunchuck/Wii Controller is supposed to give you control over tackling, passing, running, punting, etc. Sounds like a great time :thumbsup: If at first you dont suceed, then you fail.

fitzztif Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Oh man ive been obsessing over the new Zelda game for a few months i can't wait! Shame that is comes out in Australia 8th of December:( I want to get red steel and Super Smash Bros Brawl which looks awesome :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzalord1 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 pre-ordering mine on the 21st of november from amazon and will get it delivered on the morning of the 8th 8-) Great minds think alike. Anyway, I'm planning on getting Zelda (of course), Wii play and an extra nunchuck. Then at christmas, i'll hopefully get another remote, nunchuck and Red steel. My birthday is in January, so that will count for Wario Ware and that last remote. And for those of you who don't know what Wario Ware is, it is a Fast-fire minigame collection that is off it's tiny little head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runemetsa Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I just sit here laughing to all this, WII has to be the stupidest name ever given to a game console. Yes, I'm an idiot. Basically Wii is not even trying to compete with x360 or ps3. It is purely an experimental console release, so I don't think these three could be compared. And for who wants what, it's obivous: People who try to try something entirely new go for wii, and those who want same old good but with improvements go for x360 or ps3, depending on their earlier choices.

Anesthesia Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It is purely an experimental console release Not a chance. What do you have to support that? Of course it isn't experimental. With the amount of development they have done and the number of games coming out for it there is no way it is an experimental release. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

pizzalord1 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 If you wanted an experimental release, take a look at the DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It is indeed innovative, but that's very different to it being an experimental release. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzalord1 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wii Sports.... and then nothing until Christmas If you have internet acess, you could download virtual console games to play if you have a Gamecube controller or "classic" controller. They cost Wii points though, and the word is that you get about 2000 already on the console. Don't hold me to that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runemetsa Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It is indeed innovative, but that's very different to it being an experimental release. I might be wrong, but personally I find the idea of controller-with-movemental-control (or whatever it is called) quite revolutionary, and as experimental I meant that afaik nothing like this has been tried before with this scale, so I'd take it as a large-scale experiment to see if the world of gaming is ready to move on to new dimensions of gaming.
