[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

Damn, Metroid Prime 3 would've been the launch game that I got if I could get only one (yes, over LoZ:TP). Ah well, there's still lots of other launch games I'm way interested in, thankfully.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well lucky us....eh, I'll probably just go to Best Buy or Wal-Mart instead to get one, if I'm extremely lucky.

Sucks about the composite cable, though. I had to order my WiFi connector off Nintendo's site and it shipped out very quickly, so I guess I'm okay with ordering off their site again if I have to...although I'd rather not, of course.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sweet, my parents are off gambling in Vegas without me, but my brother said he'll take me to TRU this weekend. I just called the store to ask them about it and the girl was like "Yup, we are, first come, first serve. We open at 10 so be there early! There'll be plenty people." Oh boy, don't I know it >.<

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

Aside from TP, I would've gotten MP3 Corruption, but I think I will go with Red Steel. I'll either get two games, or one game and one classic controller. Honestly have no clue as of right now :x

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

Wow, I would buy Elebits for the box art alone.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, no luck for me. I got there an hour before the TRU opened but there were already a lot of people in line, and I'm pretty sure some fuckass was holding like 3 spots for people. Came to find out they had 20 pre-orders for the Wii to give, no idea how many PS3 pre-orders they had. Then they started giving everyone tickets to buy an Elmo or something so I said fuck it and left.

So I guess now it's midnight at my favorite Gamestop on launch day for me.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Went to Best Buy at 5:45 AM with my mom. Had a bunch of people in line, but not nearly enough to take up all the Wiis, as Best Buy was getting 100. Got in line, this nice Korean guy before us said we were the first new people to come in an entire hour. We took a quick count, there were a little over 35 people before us. More people started arriving shortly after us. At about 7 AM, the Best Buy head dude came, counted us. Said that there were well under 100 people so we were all guaranteed to get one. Also said if anyone pulled any BS like at the PS3 launch, he'd toss them outta there.

He came back at about 8, handed us our vouchers, then my mom drove off to get some damn food! I was number 46 out of about 55-60 people at the time. At around 8:30 even more people started arriving and they were still able to get systems, but the console definitely sold out by 9 AM.

The head guy was extremely happy that we were all well behaved. We formed a line, no pushing and shoving, all the Wii games and accesories and other stuff were laid out on a big table. We walked past and picked up whatever we wanted, went to the registers, grabbed a console, and paid.

So along with the console I got Zelda, Red Steel, a classic controller, and Wii Points card with 2000 on it. Came out to about $409. System updated and I'm about to buy Solomon's Key for my mom (it's her favorite game, she kicks my ass at it). Gonna try out Wii Sports soon.

Weirdest comment(s) in the line today must've been "I don't want to get Red Steel because you can choose if you want to kill someone or let them live, we should just be able to kill everyone," "I want to get Smackdown because wrestling is cool and has variety. Smash Bros. Brawl is a must-have game, too! I can't stand fighting games, though, they're too repetitive. All you do is punch, kick, grab...with wrestling games you can throw!" All said by the same guy.

FELIPE NO

[17:41] Kudoshido: haha

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.
