The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Hey guys, how about my Wii just overheated and shutdown on me. I figured that the problem is Wiiconnect24 because it lets the Wii stay on partially but heats it up so damn much. Then I had to go to Gamestop to spend $10 on a cooling fan that is loud as crap. But at least I won't have to worry as much.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I also spend most of my money on videogames. It's just what I do. Like squeek is saying, since I'm not a fishing guy, I wouldn't go buy fishing stuff.

Re: The Wii is Here.

No, but they're my favorite hobby.

Hobbyists always spend a lot of money in their hobbies. That's why I say to stick to one primarily.

Put it this way. Say you like fishing. Your hobby would be fishing.

If it were your only hobby, you could dedicate your time and money to nice gear, good fishing spots, long days spent on a lake, etc. If it were not your only hobby, you would only be able to do it sporadically with less-than-nice gear in crowded fishing spots.

Since I dedicate my hobby to games, I can spend some of my paychecks on them. Don't get me wrong, I don't throw money down whenever I see the chance. I just don't hold back when I see something I really want. I've only spent about $400 on Wii games in 2007. That's a paycheck or two right there.

Re: The Wii is Here.

videogames are not everything in the world you know....

but i only use my money in anime and videogame stuff because right now i don't have to pay for food or anything else XD.

well if i had to select between guitar hero and zack and wiki? well zack and wiki is my selection for me is a very good game and i had to buy it because i might not have enough time to finish it and my family wanted to play it too (besides i just had to pay 20$ my parents did the rest).

and was there any doubt? always the wii version of any game it's better than his other parts (harry potter being the best example)

Re: The Wii is Here.

Pssh.

If you dedicate your money to too many things, you won't have enough to buy things you really want.

I focus the money I get from work into games. Only games. If there are no games, it goes in my bank. But mainly games.

I've dropped $250 on pre-orders for 5 Wii games for Christmas. One of them ended up getting pushed to 2008. Sad. I already had 3 pre-orders for 2008 games too (Mario Kart, No More Heroes, Tales of Symphonia 2).

So far, one has shown up. Guitar Hero III. At this point, if you haven't been reading this thread extensively, you might wonder something. I said 5 games at $250. That's normal for Wii games. One of them is Guitar Hero III and one of them is Zack and Wiki. AKA, one was $90 and one was $40. Hmm.

Online retailers are the best.

ps - Guitar Hero III is best on the Wii. It may not be as shiny as the 360 / PS3 versions, but the guitar rumbles when you get star power and while using star power. You also hear sour notes via the Wiimote speaker. Also, the PS3 version has lag issues and a stupid dongle required to play wirelessly.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Yeah, it's for the Wii.

Also you should buy it.

Nah, I don't have much money. The only game I'm saving up for right now is Super Mario Galaxy. But then I also use money on school stuff and skating.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Did I dream that Guitar Hero 3 came or is coming out for Wii? Or did somebody really tell me... I can't remember. Even if it is for wii I still won't buy it, I'm just wondering.

[Squeek]

Re: The Wii is Here.

Remember this?

The other site still hasn't even sent me a confirmation that Zack & Wiki has shipped. Unbelievable. If these two sites have similar prices that are only off by a dollar or so, it's pretty obvious which site I'd prefer.

It had been a week since Zack and Wiki came out. So, I wrote to them.

Our records indicate that, the order for the following item is out of stock: WII: ZACK & WIKI QUEST BARBARO- and our expected date of arrival for the item is 11/09.

There's no excuse for that. A three-week delay?

Considering this has been their track record for almost every game I've ordered from them, my business with them may be coming to a close. I might just get games that can arrive at any time, but when I've been in a shortage of games for so long, this just adds to my frustration. The site is great for DVDs, but terrible for games.

On the other side of the coin, Family Video e-mailed me the day before GHIII came out and said they shipped my package. I arrive home two days later to see it at my door. So, yeah, it's obvious that I'm going to use Family Video more often.

A mouse in plural form is mice. We have more than one computer.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Well we have wireless keyboards, mice, of course cellphones are wireless. I have a wireless keyboard for my Wii. And other things that aren't related to this thread. But the point is, I wouldn't see the need for a standard sensor bar for a projector screen when I could go wireless.

[Buttoxin]

Re: The Wii is Here.

I still would prefer to get a wireless sensor bar for a projector. I mean this is the wireless century isn't it? (unless you're still playing NES or something)

I still play my NES, and my PS2 which has only 1 wireless controller that doesn't work. Also, I have all wired stuff for my computer. The only thing truly wireless in my house are the tv remotes and the wii remotes.
