[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

Sorry for the yet another change of course for the conversation, but apperantly if you adhere to the "bushido style" of fighting in Red Steel, you'll eventually get to use two swords. One with the actual wiimote and one with the nun-chuku.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So... what games is everyone buying at launch? (aside from Twilight Princess)

Not including TP, I'm definately picking up Super Monkey Ball. And maybe Red Steel...

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

I'm getting Wii Sports at launch how about you guys. Seriously considering Wii Play at launch, it comes with a Wii controller and it's only $10 more than the controller by itself anyway. Monkey Ball's a must. I'll probably get run over by the hype train and get Zelda too. Aside from that there's also whatever the free Toys R Us game is gonna be.

Then it's all shoulder shrugging from there!

Wait, you guys get Wii-play with the extra controller at launch? What the hell Nintendo? Why is Wii-play not available for all regions!?(That's just great. Now you Aussies have both vegemite and Wii-play up on us americans. ;___; )

Anyway, I've been very iffy on Red Steel (many reporters didn't like the controls from what they tried) but it seems like they managed to really tweak them for the better. And then there's still Trauma Center. Deciding what the third title's gonna be sure's gonna be tough. I only hope that reviews for these games are put up online a day or so before launch.

Oh and, maybe I'm being pessimistic here, but now that launch is close and all, you might wanna ask at your local Toys 'R Us as to what this mystery free game is. Knowing retail and the way they advertise things I wouldn't be surprised if they respond with something like "WIISPORTS. COMES WITH YOUR WII SO IT'S A FREE GAME FOR YOU. FROM US. FOR FREE." =/



-edit-

XD I guess I was a little late there. I've never heared of this UBI-soft game before! Good or bad, it's better than my prediction of them taking advantage of Nintendo's pack in deal. ^^;

-edit again (last one promise)-

Ok just checked on google and uh...yea...that's not the sort of title I had in mind. I wonder what none-conventional uses one can find for game cases. Or the discs themselves. I mean, I doubt anyone will actually pop that title in when they get home with their brand new Wii.

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

Pretty neat trailer. The part with Elebtis was pretty crappy though. It was much too dark. You couldn't make out anything!

During the Madden NFL segment the third person on the couch was merely playing with a DS-lite. Or is that a preview of next-gen connectivity!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Anyone else here actually planning to camp out with friends without a pre-order? Provided you get a decent spot in line, and don't encounter asshole hecklers or line-cutters, it can be pretty fun.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yup! Keep in mind guys that more VC games are on the way. On a monthly basis if I recall what I read correctly.

Anyway, Yahoo has set up a section just for Wii! Pretty neat. ^^;


Random, but did anyone see today's South Park episode where Cartman froze himself to get a Wii faster?

FELIPE NO

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

Guys excuse my ignorance, but...is there any way to get Wii online via a wired connection? I have four different pc's set up in different rooms and I'm really don't know how to make a single online connection stay wired in three rooms and wireless in the fourth room with the Wii.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry to veer off topic here guys but I have a quesiton. I downloaded Sonic via the virtual console. Everything works fine but I can't seem to do the sonic charge. Y'know, when sonic kneels down, and you charge to spin super fast. It doesn't seem to be an available move with either the wii-mote or gamecube controller. Is this exclusive to the classic controler? Or was this move not available in the very first sonic?!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh ok, thanks, that clears things up. It's been such a standard feature for so long now, that it feels odd without it. But o well.

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

If this turns out to be true, I wouldn't mind so much (Even though releasing a console with your flagship mascot's game a year after sounds insane)

So long as there are plentiful, quality titles to fill in the gap, then it's fine. One of GC's biggest killers was the droughts it went though. I'm assuming Nintendo learned it's lesson.
