Try that. Two sites in that thread.

Thanks, but I don't know how much to trust this itracker site... It listed 4 I think to be in stock, but none of them said they had any. In fact, one place said that they hadn't even gotten any for a week or so even though the site said that they had them in.

So yeah, either the people at the stores lie, or that site isn't really all that helpful. I suppose it gives me a good listing of stores to call though so I don't have to try to remember a bunch of stores to call/look them up in the phone book.

How likely is it that the store employees would lie? I wouldn't think that they'd still be buying them for themselves to sell on ebay (but then again, the resale cash cow shift from PS3 to Wii may affect that).

EDIT: Oh I see. Gray clocks are bad. Orange clocks are good. Those ones I called were grays.

Re: The Wii is Here.

So I went to Connecticut over break and played the Wii at my cousins house for all wednesday. Then I woke up thursday and played more. Then I stayed up all night with my cousins and their friends playing it. Then at 7:00am we (me and my cousin's friend) to find some Wii's. We checked wal-mart and they had 2 PS3's. He bought one and then we went next door to Toys R Us. We went in with no hope and then we saw two wii's sitting there. We both jumped in line. There were a bunch of people behind us. We heard them saying, "Oh look! There are two wii's left! I bought mine and then my cousin's friend was up. He had to choose between a PS3 and a Wii. He decided to get the Wii. Then we had to go back to Walmart and return the PS3. Then the people checked the PS3 for about 2 minutes checking if we took anything out, damaged the box, etc. Then I went back to their house and slept. My aunt is the best.

I've been playing Zelda for 3 hours total and im starting the forest temple right now. So far its a really good game.

The Forest Temple is one of my favorite places in the game.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Did I mention my aunt is rich. I played on a 70" HDTV.

Tomorrow I am going to exchamge: brain age, star wars, tony hawk for ps2, and a giftcard to best buy to spend on games for DS and wii. Suggestions from now to tomorrow afternoon please.

Games I have already:
DS: Mario 64
Wii: zelda, NFS:C, and red steel

Re: The Wii is Here.

Wii: zelda, NFS:C, and red steel

Out of those games, Zelda is the only good one.

Try: Elebits, Trauma Center and Rayman.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I didn't really like Red Steel. Rayman though is a very fun and addicting game.

[BLAZZE-]

Re: The Wii is Here.

I got:

Rayman: bunch of minigames but no real plot

Call of Duty: Looks really fun. Haven't opened it yet

Elebits: Is this game actually fun...I havent opened it yet. But what is the point.

[Squeek]

Re: The Wii is Here.

Why would you buy games that you don't research beforehand?

Elebits has a very thin plot, but that's because a plot is unnecessary. Just like the story for Katamari Damacy was irrelevant, but still there because it added to the game.

Pre-story: Elebits are bits of Electricity.

You play as Kai, a young kid who hates Elebits. His parents are Elebit researchers. They spend a lot more time researching Elebits than they do with their son. That's why he hates Elebits.

One night, a massive bolt of lightning strikes in the town and the power goes out everywhere. All of the Elebits start acting strangely. Kai's parents rush to the lab to try to figure out what's happening, leaving Kai home alone. He figures he'll spend the time watching TV, but... the power is out.

So, Kai figures in order to watch TV, he needs to capture Elebits and use their wattage to turn the power back on in his house. Elebits are electricity, so he can't pick them up with his hands. He uses his dad's Capture Gun to capture them. His quest takes him out into the hallway, down the stairs, outside, into the streets, and all over town.

All in all, it's amazing.

NEXT TIME YOU WANT A GAME: Go to YouTube and look at PEOPLE's videos for the game. Developers and publishers put the game in the best light possible, so it's always biased. Watch ACTUAL gameplay videos. That'll show you precisely what you're getting yourself into.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Squeek, I was a bit disappointed with Elebits, mostly because it seemed like it was in the same vein of Katamari Damacy, yet it doesn't deliver the same immersive experience. I'm not saying it's bad... it's just not what I expected.

You can convert video files like Avi's and DivX's to the Avi type that the Wii can play. I've done it. I can watch One Piece on my Wii!!

Do I work for Konami? =x

People can dislike games that I like and I won't have a problem with it.

Welcome to three months ago >_>

I might give it a try someday.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Meanie. I bought a magazine with loads of nifty things. Like did you know your Wii USB slot will charge your iPod. Also mini usb lava lamps. Which I thought was cute. Also. There is a little cat in Photo channel under the fun section. If you catch him/her you get a hint XD. You can download peoples saves if you have an Sd card reader.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Your country is weird, Seth.

They've renamed Elebits for the Europe release of the game. It'll be called "Eledees". You know, like "LEDs".

Why?

" bit Noun. A woman. Abb. of 'bit of fluff' or 'bit of skirt', generally a person viewed sexually. Derog." -- http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/b.htm

You guys have some weird words.

Oh, and it's set to launch in Spring. They have to re-do all of the voiceovers and text now, along with encode it for your crazy television formats.

[SethSquall]

Re: The Wii is Here.

Lmao. YES. Yes we do. A normal sentence from my home town,

"Safe, I was milling around bay like and there was bear heddlu there mate, was hectic. Vexing."

Thats tame as well.

Although I have no idea why we would change the name.

The games not out till spring for us.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Heh, I've re-encoded anime to play on the Wii too. Only problem is it increases the size close to 5x, because it has to be motion jpeg. XD Not very convenient, but fun to play with anyway. (You can also do a jigsaw puzzle made out of the video as it is playing!)

Also, I just got an SD card for my Wii, and realized something amazing. Because of this, anyone can share game saves with each other over the Internet! o_O That's really cool, although I honestly can't think of many uses for it right now. Maybe if someone rents or borrows a game and doesn't have time to 100% it in the time they will have it, but they want to see all the stuff the game has to offer, they can get a save from somebody else and check it out.
