Yay for you two.

Take the time you need to get acquainted, then post your Wii number in the thread.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Just got a wii this morning. I'm very very happy with it. All I've played so far is wii sports. Unfortunately, I have to go back to school, I was home for the weekend, so I won't be for another week or two.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Honestly, Wii Sports has been the most fun so far. I have yet to crack open Elebits, and Wario Ware was tons of fun, but it kept ****ing up and not doing what I wanted it to or I'd have absolutely no idea what to do and flailing the remote and mashing buttons didn't have any effect on what happened on screen. Hopefully I can get past that, because without those things I said, Wario Ware would be the best.

Oh and Twilight Princess picks up eventually, right? I mean... I feel like I should at least have a weapon by now and all I've done so far is just run around doing stupid ****.

Yea dude. It picks up. Trust. It just gets better and better.

After you open the Tower of Forms it teaches you how to play each mini-game you've seen by reading the scroll at the bottom.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Wii Sports has been great so far... my family loves it. Elebits is really fun so far... I had to set my Wii up upstairs for now, so I didn't try TP yet.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Afrobean, you needs to be at least three feet (preferably more) away from the screen, and be sure that your sensor bar is set up properly. I discovered that WarioWare, with the setup I had on Saturday needed the Wii Remote to be pointed a little lower than expected. We were quite close to the TV, though.

Re: The Wii is Here.

As a side-note, the sensitivity in the menu is important. 1 is for close-up players and 5 is for far-back players. Though, if you see more than two blinking lights, you're better off just finding the number that suits you best.

I have a pretty bad setup because I'm usually 3-4 feet from the bar, so it's on 1. And if I back up (say, while playing Wii Sports) I cannot even go ten feet away or the remote drops out of the bar's range.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I never thought of adjusting sensitivity. I don't know if that was it. It was more of how the controller must be positioned to pick up with LEDs from the sensor bar.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I need/want some random input from people.
Anybody wanna recommend a game or two? I've got enough money for two games and really need some more gameplay anyway. I have zelda and tony hawk's downhill jam. I'm looking at: Wario ware (probably would need/really want an extra controller though), Red Steel (My sister mainly wants this but I thought it could be a good game despite the reviews), elebits, and COD3.
Basically any recommendations or input is greatly appreciated.

I recommend saving your money. Don't spend money just because you have it. Wait for a game that doesn't suck, or buy from a console that actually has, you know, games, like the 360 or the PS2.

If you lack the above consoles or even if you have them, consider getting some used Gamecube games you've never owned that are really cheap yet have 8.0+ press average. There's a lot. Just list your Gamecube game collection and I can give you every game you're missing in order of how you need them.

Yes, I'm serious. Stop focusing on the mediocre Wii games and get the greatest GCN games out there, or at least some good PS2/360 games.

Don't listen to Squeek for any advice on buying games. His library isn't top notch, so he'll probably tell you to get an okay game when there are games 1,000 times better that you don't have. I'm the kind of guy who can't settle for a game less than 8/10 except in rare occasions, so I'll give you the finest.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I went to EBGames today, and they were out of WarioWare.

So I went a bit farther down to Gamestop, and got their last copy. =D In addition, I asked if they had any Phoenix Wright 2 preorder items left (I wanted that thing like you wouldn't believe), and the awesome guy there let me have one if I preordered something else, which I did (FF6). I also found season 2 of House, M.D. used, which I had been looking for.

Thinking the day couldn't get any better, I ran into two people sitting by the sidewalk with a couple of ADORABLE DOGGIES that I got to pet and love and donate food money to.

Ahh. Couldn't ask for much better than that.
