[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

Walmart's "deal" is a bundle on thier website. Over $500 fucking dollars.

Honestly, unless Amazon gets more in their site, it looks like the only option for people who didn't pre-order is to camp out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Still debating if I want to wait in front of TRU or BB.

BB will likely have more people, thus = more fun, but TRU is gonna be majorly overlooked. I don't want to miss out on my Wii due to a desire to be around others.

TRU is right across the street from BB for me, so I might just check out the BB line and if it's got nobody in it, I'll wait there, and go to TRU if it's insane. There's also a Wal-Mart a few blocks away, and a Circuit City I can go to as well, so I'm seeing far too many choices here!

Dammit Nintendo, you could have made this simple by not gimping the GCN version of Zelda with no 16:9 and progressive scan!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh yeah, I hear that Nintendo got it's head out of it's ass and is gonna put component cables in stores.

I hope so, because I want my progressive scan on DAY ONE, DAMMIT.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm still debating if I want to wait outside one store the night before, or drive to as many as I have to on the day it comes out.

It basically comes down to either sacrificing sleep, or sacrificing gas money and a possible chance of not getting a Wii.

Dammit, I wish there was an easy solution!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, but that, once again, adds to the cost factor.

Sure, I could PAY somebody to wait for me, but I'm a cheap guy! Honestly, I don't like the idea of driving around looking for a Wii when my efforts could all be in vain, which makes me want to camp out, but then there's all the other factors like trying to get off work that night if I'm scheduled, and finding the right store to camp out at...

At this point I'm going between Best Buy and TRU, since Best Buy is certainly going to be getting a decent number of Wiis, and there will likely be a few other people there, so I can get some DS multiplay in. TRU has the possibility of having the most Wiis, but I'm not sure if anybody else will be waiting, and I don't like the idea of sitting alone outside a TRU all night.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh, and TRU is Toys 'R' Us.

He probably has a 24 hour Wal-Mart.

Honestly, I might program Wal-Mart into my phone and call them the night of the release, and drive there if they have it.

BTW, I live in Florida, so I won't be that cold if I camp out. In fact, unless the weather gets much worse in the next week, it won't be cold much at all.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm pretty sure Nintendo owns the rights to Rare games made with Nintendo licenses, so we should see Donkey Kong Country and the like, at least.

FELIPE NO

No, the demand for component cables was higher than (Nintendo) anticipated. Anybody else sees that that shit is in DEMAND (Microsoft got big points for having a dual cable with the 360), so I don't know what their problem is.

Because Nintendo decided to screw us, I've decided to not buy a Wii until I can buy component cables alongside it in stores. I'm not sure if that'll be next month or not, but I'm not going to pay for it on launch day if I'm not going to be able to play it, since anything on composite is damn near unplayable on an HDTV.

Bravo, Nintendo, Bravo.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

First party cables?

The DDD sale ends on Friday, so I don't want to take a chance and not get my orders in if I decide to not buy a Wii. Honestly, the only reason I want one is Zelda. I've waited 3 years, so I think I can wait another few months and avoid all this hassle (Plus, Nintendo might give me an idea of when a black Wii will be out.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I finally got a Wii today.

Problem is, Zelda looks like ASS without component cables. It's a fucking blob.

Luckily, I'm going to my dad's house for the winter break, and he doesn't have an HDTV yet, so composite doesn't look nearly as bad. Except, that means it's the same version of Zelda I could play on GCN except motion sensing and mirroring.

Dammit Nintendo, why did you have to fuck up the component cable distribution so bad?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Metroid next spring. That's what's worth waiting for right there.

Be patient, grasshopper.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, I'd guess interference.

Composite just makes the game look like it's projected onto the side of the Blob.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

This is amusing. Nintendo released this to compensate for the negative press from breaking TVs.

Well at least they're warning people now...even though they shouldn't need to in the first place.

Dude, all of that shit is in the manual.

Not only that, there's constant warnings in the game to ensure that you're wearing the wrist strap and you aren't near anything you could potentially break.

People are breaking TV's due to their own stupidity. Honestly, you shouldn't be using the Wiimote so hard you'll break a TV (Or a wrist strap even).

If anybody honestly thinks Nintendo is at fault in any way, they are fucking WRONG.
