The Wii is Here. - Page 41

Did anyone of you buy or play Madden '07 yet? I have Zelda and Madden at my house, but just need the system.

I've read the reviews on Madden, and they seem to be pretty encouraging, but just wanted to hear from someone that's played the game here.

As far as Zelda goes, does anyone think it's better than OoT? Many of the reveiws I've read say so.

Apparently Madden 07 incorporates the new control scheme of the Wii extremely well. I was thinking of renting it when I get my Wii. Some reviews have even said that they couldn't image the game being played any other way.

An update for the Wii Shop is now available. The Wii Shop cannot be accessed until the update is downloaded. It does not change the version number, or anything in the shop; my guess is that it patches the browser hack. I'll let you guys know when I find out.

**Squeek** · 12-1-2006, 04:49 PM

Yes, it did. It was out two days ago. The browser hack was the primary purpose for the patch.

It also made sure parental controls were asked before kids went to the virtual console section.

PS - Wii launches in Japan in like 3 hours!

white_boy · 12-1-2006, 09:57 PM

red steel is so bad =\.

even if there werent any control issues, it's just bad as hell.

and whats with the yakuza calling you a murderer? lmao.

**Squeek** · 12-1-2006, 11:39 PM

Ok I just beat Zelda. Literally watching the credits as we speak.

That was incredible. I absolutely cannot wait to play it through a second time. That's how amazing it is. I don't even know if there's a "second time through" thing.

I got absolutely everything before I finished the game but I still saved before I finished up just to make sure. I mean, NOBODY has a complete list yet because the game is literally 10 days old. So my guess is that I 100%d it, but I have no idea. I had all the bugs, all the skills, all the heart pieces, all the upgrades I could think of...

Oh, I forgot to get the rest of the Poes. Meh. I guess that's why I saved right before going in.

Anyway, the game was spectacular. If you don't have this game, I cannot even begin to fathom reasons why not.

@ Sqeek: So I take it you think Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game ever? I know you haven't played Twilight Princess on the Gamecube yet, but do you think the Wii controller makes it the game that much better/worse?

You have no idea how much it sucks to have Twilight Princess and Madden '07 sitting at your house but without the system!

SethSquall · 12-2-2006, 08:20 AM

6 days left before UK launch and I have my Wii.

Hahahahah

No idea. Not a fan of DBZ games.

Two things. 1, you can actually turn off the console if you want. I think I'll be doing this since I turn off my wireless router every night anyway. Hey, 0 watts is better than 10.

To turn it off for realz, hold down the power button.

Second thing: noticed that online distributors sell Wii games for $44 and no shipping or tax charges. Looks like I'm never shopping in stores again.

They're on Froogle, but the one in particular I was referring to is DeepDiscountDVD.

Edit: Also, I've heard that Super Mario Galaxy can be 2-player co-op if you want it to be. On the flip side, it can be 2-player competitive as well. This is in the main storyline, not some mini-game either.

And oh man, we so need a Phoenix Wright game on Wii.

It's awesome.

Since I have some friends visiting this weekend, we've almost completed Trauma Center. While they played on Wii, I played on DS, and lemme tell ya the DS version is HECKA HARD in comparison to the Wii one. I was angry at how easy some of their missions were when I had to retry many times on the DS, with much stress. XD

Also, (I could have sworn I posted this already but don't see it!), has anyone (besides Nforcer) seen Pikachu yet in their parade? :P

banditcom · 12-3-2006, 03:21 AM

I haven't.

I was thinking the same thing. With full voice acting. Full GOOD voice acting. It'd be amazing.

Wii Boxing:

The only game where you can win and still go down in rank.

This is great because it's totally not hard enough to win as it is. What with the fact that your opponent can block... EVERYTHING... and you can block... NOTHING.

In other news, I finally became a Pro in baseball. Won 4-0 against the final match. Not only did he never score, he never got a man on base. You'd think that would warrant a +100 or something. Obviously not. The rating system in this game is harsh.

**DarkManticoreX2** · 12-3-2006, 09:36 PM

There are STILL lines of people waiting for stores to open for the Wii where I live. If I manage to get one before christmas it will be a miracle.

**Squeek** · 12-3-2006, 10:00 PM

Even I didn't expect it to be this popular.

Then again, DS Lite has been out in Japan for 9 months now and it still sells out every time it hits the shelves.

Seems like Nintendo is doing everything right these days.

the wii is impossible to get a hold of where i live unless i wait in stores for a week until the the wiis arrive. they randomly arrive by courier (however u spell that ****) and are sold out before they even hit shelves.

my friend that lives in texas just picked one up for me today, he says they're on shelves there.

**Squeek** · 12-4-2006, 05:18 PM

Thus making me glad that I waited outside Target for ten hours on the eighteenth.

I agree.

15 measly hours outside BestBuy is worth the 100+ I've received.
