They have commandeered my Wii!

Here's a sound file of the final two matches my mom could handle, you can tell she really likes the system and game. She's breathing hard and sweating now. She got so wild she almost whacked the controllers into each other, and she knocked over a bunch of my stuff on my table at one point.

But I just love that my parents had so much fun with it.

Its a gateway system! Noooo! No one is safe!


cant wait to get mine =(

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Question. How difficult is it to set/reset up Wii's sensor bar? I plan to move this thing a lot, take it to a friends house or school. Am I going to get annoyed having to set the sensor bar back up everytime?

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

About saving...lets say I wanted to bring my save file of zelda to a friend's house...does zelda have a choice to save ingame to sd slot 1-2 or HD...or do you have to move files outside of the game in the browser?

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

Hmm I guess that makes it kind of impossible to play your save file on someone elses Wii if they have a save file from the same game on their system...since you couldnt load from the card and you couldnt move it to the HD because it'd overwrite theirs.
Damnit!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow I forsee a ton of ass pains due to thise limited saving ability. Why nintendo whyyyyyy?!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't plan on transferring any of the virtual console games to my SD card (once I get one) because I've seen a video of how long it takes for it to do a simple game like Donkey Kong for NES and it was like 2 minutes. Maybe the SD card they used sucked ass but that is ridiculous.

Hmm with that in mind nintendo probably will release some firmware to deal with this save game issue. I dont see how you're gonna free up space on the Wii HD by putting the savegames on an SD. Currently everytime you'd go to play one of the saved games you moved, you'd have to move it back onto the HD by freeing up more space on another SD? just to pop in an old game? =( must be fixed!

FELIPE NO

I ordered mine before the cutoff date and they still havent arrived =(

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

Please tell me you didnt order them after the cut off date.
I still havent gotten mine and I ordered them before....if I'm getting mine after cut off date people something is fucked up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah ok... that makes em feel better then. I ordered mine the same time. When I try to track it with the order number I get a 404 error page, so I thought something might have been screwed up. But if you ordered yours the same day and dont have them yet....well then I guess I should calm down a bit =P

Edit:
lol .......shit.

same here. I cant believe people still line up every morning outside EB...after how many weeks? My chances of getting one before xmas dont look good. Especially with all those stay at home mom's getting in line, they have nothing better to do..and I do!

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

Obligatory "posting from my computer still trying to get a Wii" post

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yep. Here's what I hear everywhere I go.

"got any wiis in today?"
"Hahahaha....no. We have Ps3s."
"no thanks...bye."

I almost considered buying one just to pass the time till I get a wii.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Mmmm they better make a pink one to match my DS!

Most amazing jew boots

I can dream cant I? Its such a nice calming color, I bet it'd be hard to find in spray paint form. Candy Kirby flavor.

Didnt they have pictures of a black, white and blue wiimote from TGS or something? I seem to remember a baby blue wiimote in a display case with the others. One would assume they have 2 new colors coming.

How ya doing, buddy?

Fucking Epic.
