Let's talk about how awesome the Wii is...

To give a gamer's background. I had a Sega which was awesome, a playstation which was awesome, didn't really get into my PS2 at all and got behind N64 years after they stopped making games. I just love all the simple fun games with great gameplay. You'd be suprised how quickly you can dumb yourself down to even the worst graphics if the gameplay is at all good. I'm not really a huge gamer, but the wii has made me excited to just wake up in the morning and go play.

I would suggest buying 2 wiis and storing one so you can bust it out in 25 years to show it to your kids.

The only annoying part about the Wii is figuring how to activate the second controller for multiplayer games. (Press the little house button in the center of your wiimote, go to wiimote settings, click reconnect and follow the instructions.)

Gameplay in Wii Sports is awesome. I'm almost a pro at Wii Bowling (The best) and rock the house down at Wii Tennis. Wii Golf is also insanely fun and well made. Wii boxing can be tiring and kind of a one trick pony and I have no redemable comment about Wii baseball.

I got Redsteel, GT Pro (a racing game), Rayman and the Ravid Rabbids and Madden '07. They didn't have Zelda in stock, but im definitely going to get one tomorrow or friday.

Redsteel: FPS and samurai swordfighting game. FPS can be fun if your opponents are in a hallway or open room and arn't rushing at you. But you can easily lose yourself in a crowded firefight since your aim-er also moves the screen left and right. It's hard to excute nice clean turns and just start lighting some bitches up. The game saves itself with its swordfight which is simple and very very fun. It reminds me a lot of Bushido Blade for playstation but from first person perspective. 3/5

GT Pro: Just finished the Beginner's circuit. It's an alright game. If you love cars and racing, you may like it. I don't. It takes a little getting used to steering, but once you have it down the game is fun. Executing the perfect drift around a u-turn is so satisfying it should be illegal. Though, I've heard there are better racing games (Excite Truck) out there. 2/5

Rayman: Just a huge collection of mini-games. I've played 16 and only found 1 frustrating (since it just has a crazy time constraint.) But it has two re-occuring minigames that make this game completely worth it. An arcade style FPS where you only point and shoot, don't have to worry about looking left and right. And a rythmn game, where you shake your joysticks at the screen. Great game to demonstrate how cool the Wii is. 4/5

Madden: There is no better feeling than handing the ball off to Willie Parker, juking around the first would-be tackler, stiff-arming the next and then pumping my hands frantically to break the tackle and break the bank. Throwing is also cool, and defense is dumbed down enough for you to be effective. I've heard complaints about this game but I think it's great. 4/5

Now talk about other sweet games or future releases so I know what to buy.

Also, my mii looks exactly like me. That's cool.

fuck i want one

i still havent seen one in the store. i tell the managers im a baller but they joke my in klingon.

I read in the paper that a Toy'R'Us was getting a bunch. So I went there at 9:45 a.m. on a Sunday, they walked out to my car and gave me the slip to buy one. They just sensed the baller in me.

props where props is due

they have them for sale in tx, ive seen some. I also see them on craigslist all the time, along with ebay.

Just buy one online. They have tons on ebay and amazon. A friend of mine got his off amazon for $300 something shipped.

I still haven't found Wii's in stock at local stores but they're getting more possible to get online now. About a week ago I got word of availability online but didn't get one since it was a bundle deal with other stuff I wanna get later instead. Still want to get me one though since I had loads of fun when I had an SNES. Hope they have lots of fun games coming out for Wii as well.

Graphics aside, Wii still is on top of my list of consoles to get.. followed by XBOX 360 and then PS3. Sony needs to get it together fo sho...

I just ebayed a copy of Zelda for 33 bucks plus 5 shipping. Can't wait.

go buy the second pack of mini games for 10 bucks.
The Tank game is fucking awesome.

I want one but don't have a good TV for it. My next purchase will be a 40+ inch plasma I think.

you dont need an awesome TV for it.

I've played my brother in law's Wii. I'm getting one as soon as they come into stock. My 7 and 6 year old girls love it too. Fuck, when I was their age I was playing Atari.

Watch out, AHiltz. Your age is showing.

I have a really small crappy old TV and the Wii is still awesome. In fact, the Wii is so good that I've decided my next big purchase will probably be a big TV, to make the Wii experience even better.

Anyway, the best game for the Wii is, hands down, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. Well, for multi-player, anyway. But finding other people to play with is easy, because everyone loves the Wii, even people that don't like video games in general.

The Wii is a GREAT party game. We have created so many drinking games around it...

I'm posting from my wii right now. Typing is a touch tedious but not impossible or frustrating. Much like typing with one finger. I love this machine.

Tiger woods comes out on the 13th. Will probly be the most fun game for it as ive enjoyed super swing golf and wii golf.

Going to try to convince by buddy to buy one. Offered to pay for 6 months of gamefly if he gets one =)

Excite Truck and SSX are the pretty fricken cool games. Iam not really a huge gamer, i bought it for drunk entertainment. I hear that Mortal Kombat is coming out in the next few months. Rilla, I usually just keep pressing the A button on the 2nd controller and it usually picks it up. You have to get Rapala fishing, you will play for hours.

wii is okay. nintendo is good at marketing but is fucking up big time with everything SINCE the release.

No News From Nintendo

""The Wii is a piece of shit!" insisted Chris Hecker, a developer for the Electronic Arts (nasdaq: ERTS - news - people ) game "Spore," during a GDC session called "Burning Mad: Game Publishers Rant." Hecker said that Nintendo isn't as committed to creating artful games as Sony and Microsoft, and that the company is only interested in producing fun games with limited graphical appeal. The Wii console, he said, is hardly better than two GameCube consoles duct-taped together."

Rofl. I thought games were supposed to be fun.

All I want are games that are designed to be fun. And maybe Gears of War for xbox360.
