[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

Please.. tell me thats a joke? November launch after PS3 was bad enough. But now DECEMBER?

That's really late. I was looking forward to getting one early. That's right in the holiday season. I hope you'll even be able to find one..

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What time does the American conference begin? I'm hoping I'll see some good news when I wake up in the morning and the Wii really will be coming out over in America earlier.

Okay, after a good night's rest I'm glad to have waken up and seen the good news. November is still kind of late but it's tons better than Japan's December date.

250$ for the price isn't too bad. I was pretty much expecting that range anyways. I am a little dissapointed by the prices for the extras. I planned to do alot of multiplayer gatherings with the Wii. Since it only comes with 1 controller that means I've got to go out and buy a wiimote and a nunchuck just for a second player. If I have two more people I've got to buy even more. So I'll be paying, what.. 100-150$ extra for 3 more people?

I'm pretty interested in the Mii thing. I'm a fag for creating characters so making a mini me for the Wii will be a little fun. Sticking them in the games I play will be entertaining as well. I also like how I'll be able to use it to interact with other people or carry it to other Wiis on my controller. I'm assuming we'll have some kind of lobby or chat room system we can stick our characters in and chat with others? I know it was said there's message boards and stuff for Wii users.. but what about something for the mini people we make?

I'm not really too excited about the Virtual console. Since any games I would want I already have. If I dont have it I can download it for free.. I'm also disapointed you have to buy the damn browser for the Wii with Wii points. Why can't it just come built in for free? There was little point of it in the first place since you've got a PC. Sticking a price on it just makes ya want to use it even less.

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

Well.. on the Wii site under hardware it says the Wii only has an A/V port for component, S-video, and composite. It doesn't mention VGA at all. I don't know if that throws away the chance of there being some kind of adapter for VGA. But.. to me it looks like no connecting to monitors. Unless they happen to have S-video/component/composite in or you've got a tv tuner card. ;|

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

Oh god trying to buy a Wii on black friday is like giving yourself your own death sentence. Then carrying out the beheading yourself with a dull blade.

I'm just going to wait untill December or January..

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've got to buy two Wiis real soon. One for myself and another as a Christmas gift. When do you guys think would be the best time to nab two? =/

I refuse to try going tomorrow. I dont want to die underneath the hordes of fat women rushing to pay for that cheap item they dont need while giving themselves heart attacks.

I just know it's only going to get harder to find the closer it gets to the 25th too..

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think I'm cursed. Everytime I try to get a hold of one of these they're always out of stock. Where are the Wiis, dammit. >=|
