The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I'm not one of those lazy kids who sits around doing nothing all day.

Wait, that's pretty much exactly what I am.

Um, well, I haven't had any strain problems yet. My shoulders kinda maybe started to hurt after my 150th bowl of the night a week ago but it didn't last.

I don't expect to have any strain or cramp issues. I may not look it at first glance, but I'm quite physically fit. I can touch the floor without bending my knees!

Edit: I'll tell you what I have developed though. Now I can be anywhere and still feel that wrist strap on. I guess this is a good thing as it reminds me to put it on in case I forget, but it could be a bad thing in case I think I already have it on.

But I've never actually let go of the remote sans the first time I played boxing after not sleeping outside of a Target when it went below freezing looking forward to having to finish a 12 page paper and going to work without being able to play with my own new toy for a long, long while.

WRIST STRAP

Re: The Wii is Here.

My friend beat Zelda a few days ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're as close to the end as you think you are.

Strange thing... a day or two ago, I noticed my Wiimote was down to three lights of battery power. Alright. But then... I checked it tonight, after barely using it at all, and the battery is as good as dead. ...Whaaa?

No idea why that could be, unless someone in my suite was constantly hitting buttons for hours without actually playing a game (doubtful >_> ). I really hope there's not something wrong with my remote.

Im buying TC now. I loved the DS game. I went back to it the other day because the new Wii game made me think about it. I've only got one A rank to turn into an S and Ive done everything.

There is an article on Yahoo about how some Wii owners are experiencing problems with the strap on the Wii remote. It seems that the strap is breaking and the remote is flying into the tv and such. I was just wondering if any of you have had a problem with this. I'm sure many of these people are swinging the remote a little harder than they should, but it is still something to worry about if it is indeed that big of a problem.

Just wondering if any of you have experienced this.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Here's the thing.

If you hold on to the remote, the strap doesn't get any strain.

These people are letting go of the remote after incredibly excessive motions. Some people even think that in baseball, you're supposed to throw the remote.

So, obviously, the little string holding the strap to the remote is going to break if you put it under that kind of stress.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Ugh so busy haven't gotten far enough yet.

Side note: That video hasn't entirely convinced me to buy the game yet. I may rent it, I don't know.

My job isn't to make you buy the game. I'm only providing custom footage of gameplay for anyone that might want to see it. "Life or Death" is one of my favorite operations simply because they added a defibrillator, instead of needing to massage the heart. The bomb's pretty good too, but frustrating. It's completely different from the DS bomb.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Lmao. It's like when you read a links can or something. It says something like "not for consumption". That tells me some people are so stupid that they would eat deodorant if there wern't warned not to. People who can't be trusted to hold onto a remote properly while swinging it or whatever shouldn't be aloud to have a Wii.

PS Squeek. Live and Learn is an awesome song.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Since nobody's going to understand what you're referencing because it'll change in about 10 seconds, he's mentioning my Last.fm sig.

I have about 6 songs from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle in my playlist. I think that's a great "final boss" song, personally.

ps - I have like 25 Miis and average 10 messages a day and I still have 2,157 blocks free.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I can't stand the wait.

The second shipments need to come now!

Re: The Wii is Here.

The second shipments came through a while ago....

Re: The Wii is Here.

Rumor says this Sunday Circuit City is going to get about 13-130 consoles per store based on popularity and location.

Nintendo says they're shipping 250,000 units a week to the US.

For some stores yes, but not the store I reserved it at.

That's odd. Where did you reserve it? Because if it was any major game store or retailer, you should've had it, no question.

Re: The Wii is Here.

8 days left untill release in the UK and I get a Wii. The wait is killing me.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I took off the wrist strap, myself. I found it inconvenient. I'm not about to throw my remote.
