The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I go on facts. That's why I sound confident. All I'm doing is saying "these are the facts".

I don't tend to speculate on things, except privately. If you search this thread far enough back, you'll see a time when I speculated a lot about this little console before it came out. Almost everything I speculated was wrong. That's why I tend to speculate privately now just to get myself excited. That way, I don't let anyone else down.

A lot of people wanted Wii to have a built-in projector as I speculated =(

I need to ask: What the hell would a Wii need a projector for?!?

Re: The Wii is Here.

lol Squeek. i love when you say things the no one has any idea about and seem so confident.

Sure, you can gift it. But it seems to me that perhaps they might include something like the Zune did (free play for a certain amount of days) or anything. Why would they create a whole new channel for just gifting VC games? Wouldn't it be more logical to make a new feature in the existing shop channel for that?


Do all the gamestops have a playable demo now, Zidart?

Re: The Wii is Here.

Doesn't matter, looks kinda stupid to me. I mean, it's not like anybody is going to GIVE me a virtual console game. I'd rather just get that person to give me $20 so that I can go to bestbuy and get a points card.

An X-Box 360 that costs $279... I might consider buying that in the near future.

people can trade... i guess.

by the way i was able to play the demo of super mario galaxy at gamestop and i'm sure even without knowing about the story that this game will be awesome and already is a must have for wii owners. the missions where more fun and filled with variety than in other mario games (you start in a house's garden planet and end up in a giant capsule and you pass through a castle) see what i mean?

Re: The Wii is Here.

I don't see any Japanese that needs translating.

The new channel is just for gifting VC titles. That's it.

Re: The Wii is Here.

There's no more info about the channel that i've seen beside what's in that article. Maybe if someone can translate a japanese site

DETAILED INVOICE:

http://www.familyvideo.com/catalog/acccount_history_info.php?order_id=******

PRODUCTS:

1 X Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock : Wii (047875951259) = $78.98
Status: Shipped

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.

Edit: Their $5 and $3 coupon codes both still work. $5 for new members and $3 for previous members. I got $5 off my Guitar Hero III, which made it $75 with shipping, and now I've ordered Brawl for $41.

...Nintendo did have one surprise up its sleeve. Also today in Japan, the company unveiled a new channel for its console which will allow Wii owners to give Virtual Console games to one another as gifts.

Re: The Wii is Here.

i like every controler i don't have an issue, even though i am left handed. but i'll play brawl with gamecube controler.... the wii remote is not good for fighters (unless is used like bleach)

my friend code 3291 9318 2094 9137

Re: The Wii is Here.

Battle mode... that'll be fuuuun! Oh Zidart, what are the last 4 numbers in your Wii number? I like to name the names of people ya know.

So, who's favorite controller is which one for the Wii? Mine is the Classic controller cause it fits in my hands well. The remote with the nunchuk was tedious, especially for Twilight Princess.

The classic controller is fun and I know I'll use it when Brawl comes out, but I'd like to test to see how they got the Wii remote to work alone on that game. Plus zidart I found that out a while back.
