Not sure if this has been posted about before but has anyone picked one of these up? Or what do you think about them? I'm looking for one, they seem like a lot of fun.

I don't have a Wii, and I'm not planning on getting one anytime soon, but I do have a certain amount of loyalty to Nintendo, so I'd probably get one before I'd get a PS3. And I'm not sure I get the appeal of the Xbox at all. Do they have ANY games that aren't sports, war simulations, or based on movies I didn't see? Maybe I've just convinced myself of that because I don't like the idea of Microsoft having become so entrenched in the video game market, though.

Somone gave me about a thousand dollars worth of Wii stuff. I tried it out, thought it sucked and gave it to my friend with little kids.

Mouse and keyboard are always the way to go for FPS’s, but analog sticks are far better than the wiimote and nunchuk. Red Steel was just plain horrific.
Traded in my Wii today. Got €334 (in gamestop credit) between the console, games and extras
I’ll probably put it towards a 360 bundle deal or some ps3 games
I was kind of sad to get rid of it. But party game after party game wasn’t hitting the spot for me.
I held onto the box though. For sentimental reasons.

I am not sure about mine. I love FPS's, but Call of Duty 3 is a little bewildering to me still. It's just not the same as using a mouse. I don't like FPS's using regular console controls at all, and this is a little better, but still not quite right.
The sports are still great fun, but as I said when I first played on my mate's, it's so much better with a few people.

Finally managed to find one for my 10 year old son and I couldn't resist try a flight sim on it (Blazing Angels). Awful. The wiimote/nunchuck combination sounds attractive but it doesn't work out that well for that.
He loves it, though, and that's the important part.

Still getting plenty out of mine, Sports is still a fave, got loads to do on that still. My GF is into Sonic, so she plays that alot (the soundtrack is really annoying), and Zelda is taking up my time when I can gather together the energy for another mission. All-in-all it was well worth the purchase and I can't wait for Smash Bros to come out! As well as Mario...

Now that some time has passed, what are your views on the wii?
Mine is gathering dust in the corner, the complete lack of quality games (or anything merely interesting) has rendered the console useless.
FPS games just don’t work on wii, and that’s a huge disappointment. When I read reviews off wii games the majority off criticisms are put down to the controls, which is meant to be the best part of the machine!
I don’t think I would have bought the wii if I had had some hands on experience with a few different games.
It’s a shame really

GTA will be released on the same day for both 360 and PS3 (october 19th as far as i know) The only difference this time round will be the exclusive downloadable content.
360 is getting extra missions, while PS3 is getting extra areas added on to the game map.
It all depends on if you want more missions or more game world

Got me a 360 yesterday. It was a "give us your old console and (actually quite) a few old games and get it for half the prize" kind of deal. A consolero friend of mine was kind enough to help me out with some of his old games. Since I would have bought a 360 anyway when Halo3 comes out, I figured I might as well take that offer.
Really looking foreward to the weekend now. Especially to try out that live feature/platform they offer. And Gears Of War of course.
The Wii... I don't know. It sure looks nice, like party fun and all. And I am even sympathetic with Nintendo's approach of going new ways. Like giving up on the competition with Sony and Microsoft about speed, graphics, etc.. and instead concentrate their innovations on fields like gamplay and handling.
But: the games I saw so far just don't do it for me. This childfreindly Nintendo look turns me off somehow. And the games don't seem to be too complex either. I could be wrong though, since I never actually played one. |

If I were to get a PS3 I'd probably wait about a year when the prices have gone down. I think I waited about a year to get the PS2. But I think that is the console I'll eventually get.

I would like to get a PS3, but I'm not paying over £400 for a console. The only reason I normally get the Playstations is for the GTA games, but they'll be out on the 360 too, so I might just get one of those when GTA comes out. Looking forward to the Wii just as it's so much fun to play with others, maybe the novelty will run out, but for the time being and the price tag, it seems well worth it and is more appealing to me than the other consoles at the moment.

I took out my old playstation and hooked it up a month ago and it still works perfectly (i even tried out those pre-dual shock controllers that came with it and the work too)
"Wii better than PS3"? In what way do you mean?
In terms of power and graphics the wii is actually less powerful than the original xbox. The PS3 is around 40 times more powerful than the PS2
The main thing to take into account is the kinds of games you want to play. Nintendo have slightly isolated themselves with the wii in terms of third-party support, but you can expect nintendo themselves to make the most out of their own machine.
The PS3 and 360 don’t have that problem, they’ve got the third party support as well as their big-name-franchises.
Honestly? There’s nothing wrong with PS2 right now. Great games like God of War 2 and Okami are still on the horizon. As it stands, PS2 still outsells every other single format on a weekly basis worldwide and game development for the system hasn’t ended yet either.
For god sake, the original playstation only ended production in march of 2006!

I can't wait to get a Wii myself! I love it! The sports games are amazing!
At work we were watching a clip of some kids playing their Wii using a cinema screen, very cool...

My brother got one for his Christmas. I played it Christmas Day. He's got Wii Sports, Red Steel and Zelda. Red Steel and Zelda don't interest me whatsoever, but Wii Sports I like. Look forward to him getting some Mario games though. I can see the novelty wearing off quite quickly, though.

I bought Sonic, you can use the wii remote for it. Would I pay for a browser, probably not. I might try it out for free though when they first offer it.

500 points =
€5.00(Eur)
£3.50(UK)
$7.50(Aus)
$6.25(Can)
¥500(Jap)
$5.00(US)
Wii Points
You can buy them on your wii with a credit card or buy them in a shop and input a code at the wii shopping channel.
Buying online seems to be a way better option. You can buy 1000, 3000, or 5000 (for €10, €30, and €50) points online. I think you can only have €100 worth of points on your wii at any time. I was in HMV last week and they were selling 2000points for €39.99! Double what you should have to pay! Get points online people!

How much money does 500 points equal? I have yet do anything with the VC or anything, don't know if it's worth buying the classic controller and then paying for the games on top of it.

New straps are being made for the wiimote. Can't wait to get mine. Just got COD3 for 360. I couldn't hold out. Zelda will be first for the wii. Of course. |

Posted - 12/17/2006 : 17:45:09
I played it for the first time tonight. The sports games are fun, although way better in multi-player. Can't decide which is my favourite at the moment.
Hoping to have a go at Call Of Duty tomorrow. I always complete it on the PC so I am hoping the controller for the Wii will add a new dimension.

Tennis is awesome. I am a pro in tennis, golf, and bowling. I haven't played much baseball or boxing because my friend only has one controller and baseball seems more fun 2 player.
My current best at 9-hole golf is -5. My friend has me beat at -7. Wii rented Madden the other night and it is pretty awesome. |

Not necessary, but half the fun is swinging like it's real. Still, wrist strap = a must.

Has anyone played a game of tennis with someone who DOESN'T use the wrist strap? I have and it’s scary. I thought i was going to (a) get my teeth knocked out, or (b) have a broken remote/tv. Over zealous swinging isn't necessary. I was almost tempted to use the popular internet buzz-word "n00b"
Also, i got my mother to have a go at the baseball. She said the wii was "lovely"

BTW, a good thing you didn't wait last night - I was at work straight until 1 AM. :/
The worst part is I thought I'd solved it and I came back this morning to discover it's intermittent.
I'll have to try the multiplayer now that I have a second (and third and fourth) remote.
